听力原文: Most reliable companies pay close attention to customers' mails, particularly from dissatisfied customers. But writing letters to a company is one thing; getting the company to do what you want is another. And it requires a certain amount of know-how to persuade a manufacturer to repair your broken toaster or to make an adjustment on your mishandled airplane reservation.
First, you must observe certain principles. The most important is that you must deal with a reliable company. If you buy something from a fly-by-night retailer, you have to accept the fact that you have thrown away your money.
Second, if the product carries a warranty, be sure that you understand its terms. The warranty is an insurance policy, and the customer pays for that insurance when he pays for the product. If a product becomes defective a few weeks after the warranty has run out, some companies may make the adjustment, only for the sake of good will.
Third, let the company know in no uncertain terms that you are disgusted with its product or service, more often than not, customers who write in anger sometimes forget to include important information that the company needs in order to correct the situation. If that information is lacking, all the anger in the letter will get you nowhere. On the other hand, a simple, calm, factual and reasoned letter can usually help you to achieve the desired end.
(23)
A.Write an angry letter to the company.
B.Make sure that the product carries a warranty.
C.Deal with a reliable company.
D.Get the company to make an adjustment.

A Partnerships

If one person is sick, then the remaining partner(s) can carry on the work.

If people quarrel or disagree over decision-making there can be problems and serious delays.
B Public (PIC) Companies
These are the largest businesses in the private sector. There is no limit to the number of people holding shares in it and many of the larger companies have their shares listed on the stock exchange. The advantage of big businesses like this is that they find it easier to raise money as banks consider them a "good risk". There are strict laws governing the setting-up of this kind of business and each year the company has to publish its accounts. The larger such businesses grow, the more difficult it is to control them. Workers in such businesses may feel that management doesn't understand their problems.
C Private (Ltd) companies
Such businesses are not allowed to sell shares to the public. They must consist of at least two members, but there is no upper limit to the numbers who own the company. The larger size makes it possible for such companies to borrow more money from the banks or from issuing additional shares to its members. The advantage is that such a business is able to offer its members limited liability (responsibility) for debts and losses. Many companies of this type exist in England, Europe and the U.S.

根据下面资料,回答题
A
Gianluca Tramcere, Silica Systems An outsourced IT service is never a fully independent entity. It is tied to the home company"s previous and continuing systems of working. But despite the added responsibility of managing new ways of working, many businesses ignore the integration process. They fail to establish contracts that define the ways in which the two companies will work alongside one another, and focus solely on the technological aspects of service delivery.
B
Kevin Rayner, Domola Businesses need to build integration competency centers dedicated to managing the integration effort. It is critical to have an individual in charge to check that the external and internal business operations work together. Although companies often think of outsourcing as a way of getting rid of people and assets, they need to remember that, at the same time, outsourcing involves gaining people. Because there is a new operation being carried out in a different way outside of the home business, this creates a training element.
C
Clayton Locke, Digital Solutions Communication is the key to success, and outsourcing to other regions or countries can lead to a range of problems. For any such initiative, it is necessary to create a team where there is good, open communication and a clear understanding of objectives and incentives. Bringing people to the home location from the outsourced centre is necessary, since it can aid understanding of the complexities of the existing system. To integrate efficiently, outsourcing personnel have to talk to the home company"s executives and users to understand their experiences.
D
Kim Noon, J G Tech One way to avoid the difficulties of integration is to create a joint venture company with the outsourcer. Thus, a company can swap its assets for a share of the profits. Yet joint ventures bring potential troubles and companies should be careful not to lose sight of the original rationale for outsourcing: to gain cost efficiencies and quality of service in an area that for some reason could not be carried out entirely in-house. The complexities and costs of a joint venture initiative should not be underestimated.
the need to teach skills to employees working on the outsourced process
