Bimbo
Bimbo perhaps is the most popular local brand in bakery in Mexico. Every day, its products including sliced bread. cakes, and snacks are delivered nationwide by trucks. Executives at the Mexico City company estimate that its army of deliverymen makes the equivalent of dozens of trips around the earth each day.
But Bimbo's reach extends well beyond Mexico's borders. On Jan. 22nd, it plunked down $610 million for the Western U. S. division of Canada's George Weston Ltd. The deal gives Bimbo five bakeries and the rights to the Oroweat, Entenmann's, Thomas' English Muffins, and Boboli brands everywhere except in Canada and east of the Mississippi River. The share of Bimbo's sales that comes from the U.S. will rise to 30% from 17% "This is a perfect fit for us." says Grupo Bimbo Chief Financial officer Guillermo Quiroz. It also builds on a $1.1 billion 12-year international expansion drive that has taken Bimbo into 16 countries from Chile to the Czech Republic, elevating it to the rank of No.3 baker worldwide. (8)
With a virtual monopoly at home. Bimbo has little choice but to look abroad for new avenues of growth. Yet even admirers of this Mexican blue chip wonder whether it has what it takes to succeed north of the Rio Grande. With the notable exception of cement maker Cemex, few Mexican companies have managed to turn a profit in the ultracompetitive U. S.
Vitro tried to crack the American glass-container market with its purchase of Anchor Hocking in 1989, but it threw in the towel seven years later. Grupo Carso, a leading conglomerate. is struggling to turn around troubled computer retailer CompUSA Inc., which it bought in 2000. (9) Mrs. Baird's Bakeries, the Texas-based operation it acquired in 1998 for $300 million, is still in the red, and its collection of bakeries in California are just starting to break even. "The company doesn't have a good track record of enhancing shareholder value through overseas acquisitions." says Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown Inc. food analyst Joaquín López-Dóriga. Indeed, while overall sales have climbed as a result of such purchases, profit margins are being squeezed.
So why aren't Bimbo's shareholders howling？ (10) Bimbo spent $500 million last year on a share-buyback programme that left just 15% of shares actively traded. The company, which is controlled and run by the Servitje family, didn't even have an investor-relations department until Quiroz came on board three years ago after a career in Mexico's airline and banking businesses. Quiroz says Chief Executive Daniel Servitje Montull is committed to making Bimbo a more open company, paving the way for a possible New York Stock Exchange listing within two or three years.
Bimbo's executives claim they've learned their lessons from past acquisitions. (11) They've also hired consulting firm Bain & Co. to convert the George Weston operation to the Bimbo way of doing business in just 100 days. That's in stark contrast with the slow pace of integration of Mrs. Baird's, where management dragged its feet in introducing Bimbo's manufacturing and purchasing schemes.
With the Weston deal, Bimbo now boasts a roster of well-known American brands and a ready-built distribution network. Entenmann's, for example, is No.1 in its market segment nationwide, but it still has plenty of room to grow in the western half of the country, where it is not as well-known. (12) "The Hispanic market is definitely an opportunity, and they're in a better position to exploit it today than before," says López-Dóriga. But can Bimbo peddle Entenmann's cookies as well as its jelly-filled Gansitos sweets？ U. S. shoppers are about to find out.
A．Bimbo has had a spotty record with its prior U. S. investments, too.
B．Bimbo had an estimated profit of $188 million in 2001 on sales of $3.8 billion.
C．This means that Bimbo cannot accomplish its takeover.
D．They're spending $50 million on a companywide information-management system from Oracle Corp.
E．It also gives the company access to a market estimated at 120 million consumers, 20% of whom are Hispanic, allowing the company to expand the reach of its existing bread and tortilla manufacturing facilities in Texas and California.
F．Because there aren't that many of them.

听力原文：M: Hello, this Peter Duverney. Can I speak to Mrs. Boshwell, please？
F: Speaking, please.
M: Oh, hi, Mrs. Boshwell. I called yesterday morning, but you were out.
F: Oh, yes; I'm sorry I didn't have time to call you back.
M: That's all right. You see, we are going to expand our company and we decide to buy two more vans.
F: Oh, that's good. So what do you have in mind？
M: We have read through your catalogue and are impressed with that new model of TOYOTA T3000.
F: That's really a nice model with enough space for 14 people. It's been out in the market only for a month.
M: Yes, we really like that except for one thing ...
F: What's that？
M: The price. $15,000 is really too high.
F: Well, that's about as low as we can go.

F: But considering the good after-sales service, you'll find our price reasonable. It is guaranteed for six years here.

John Weston
When John Weston awoke that morning, he remembered that his mother was going into hospital．He hadn't worked out quite what was wrong with her．He knew, though, that she hadn't been well for some time now, and it had become almost familiar to him to see her eyes narrowed in a sudden attack of pain, and her hand pressing against her heart．Their own doctor, who she had finally gone to for advice, had sent her to a specialist who knew all about these things．He had told her that just as soon as there was a bed for her, she would have to come into his hospital where he could look after her himself.
During the weeks since then the pains had come over more frequently, and the nar- rowed eyes became an almost permanent part of her expression．Always rather sharp, she began losing her temper over little things so that John's father kept his thoughts to him- self more and more．John, as ready as possible to make allowances, tried to think what it would be like to have toothache all the time and how bad a temper that would make you．
So his mother would go into hospital for a few days．He was going to stay with his Aunt Daisy till she came back, and his father would stay on at home by himself．John's cousin, Mona, was to come in and make the bed and wash the pots and dust round now and again．That was the arrangement, and John didn't care much for it．Apart from missing his mother (but he was glad she was going away because they would make her better),he wasn't very fond of his Aunt Daisy because she was even more bad-tempered than his mother.

"Well now, Dad." she said, "I'm going to have you all to my- self for a whole week. You must be very obedient."
"I hope you aren' t going to boss me, Molly. You' re walking me out of breath already. We mustn' t pass Mrs. Goodmays in our hurry." They crossed the street to speak to Mrs. Goodmays, one of the doctor' s patients. "We' ve just been seeing my wife and her daughter off to London. They've gone up for a week."
"Dear me, to London, and only for a week!" said Mrs. Goodmays, with surprise. "It seems hardly worth the packing. It'll be lonely for you, Molly, without your stepsister."
"Yes," said Molly, suddenly feeling as if she ought to have taken this view of the case. "I' 11 miss Cynthia."
"And you, Dr. Gibson, I hope you won' t feel like widower once again. You must come and have supper with me one evening. What about Tuesday？"
Dr. Gibson felt a sharp blow on his leg from the toe of Molly' s shoe, but even so he accepted the invitation, much to the old lady' s satisfaction.
A moment later Molly said to him, "How could you go and waste one of our precious evening! We' ve only got five now. I' ve been planning all sorts of things for us to do tonight." "What sort of things'？."
"Oh, I don' t know. Things you used to like." She looked at him boldly. "Forbidden things now."
Her father's eyes lit up, but his face remained serious. "I'm not going to be pulled down, Molly. With hard work and sensible guidance I' ye reached a very fair height of civilized behavior, and there I' m going to stay."
"Oh, no, you' re not. We' re having bread and cheese for sup
per tonight, in armchairs in front of the TV ! And you shall wear your dressing - gown at breakfast tomorrow--and every morning for a week ! And you shall read the paper at the dining-table f That' s only a start. I haven' t finished by a long way yet."
