JOHN: Have you had a chance to look over the contract? LORRIE: Yes.I've read it carefully. JOH

JOHN: Have you had a chance to look over the contract?

LORRIE: Yes.I've read it carefully.

JOHN: And do you have any questions?

LORRIE: No.But the contract stipulates that I will teach 22 hours a week.Will you have that many classes for me right away?

JOHN: No, probably not.For the first two weeks you may teach 10 or 15 hours.

LORRIE : But my salary will be 1 100 dollars a month.Will you pay me that much for the first month? Because, I mean, I won't be working so many hours.

JOHN: I understand.That's why I didn't write the date on the contract.For the first two weeks, we will pay you according to the hours you teach.When you have 22 hours of classes, then the contract will take effect.Is that alright with you?

LORRIE: Oh, so I don't sign the contract today.Is that right?

JOHN: I don't want you to misunderstand, Miss Briggs.We are very serious about hiring you.We want you to teach for us.We usually do contracts this way because it is more convenient.

LORRIE: I can accept that.

JOHN: Good.And your benefits will begin immediately.

LORRIE: Even my health insurance?

JOHN: Yes.We will apply for your health insurance tomorrow.And your free membership in the club starts today if you like.

LORRIE: I have a few questions about the free membership.

JOHN: What would you like to know?

LORRIE : Is my membership the same as paying club members? I mean, can I get discounts at club hotels?

JOHN: Absolutely.The only difference is in the restaurant and bar vouchers.

LORRIE: What are bar vouchers?

JOHN: Paying club members get around 300 dollars a year in restaurant vouchers.The vouchers can be used in the restaurant or the lounge.But we don't offer vouchers to employees.

LORRIE: But according to the contract, employees get a discount in the restaurant.

JOHN: That's fight.So in a way, it is cheaper for you than for the members.You get more benefits than they do.

LORRIE: So, for now, you want me to keep a copy of the contract.But we won't sign it yet.Is that right?

JOHN: Yes.I've prepared the contract just so that you understand everything, so that you understand the terms.

LORRIE: I understand.And according to the terms on the contract, I am happy to accept this job.I look forward to it.

JOHN: I'm very pleased.We look forward to having you here, Miss Briggs.

第5题

听力原文: Bruce Chizen is CEO of Adobe. He is offering some advice on following the founde
rs' footsteps.

You've said you had an unusual rise to the top at Adobe. How so?

I was not an engineer. I didn't have a technical background. I had a funny east accent. Also I didn't have an MBA, but I think what John Warnock and Chuck Geschke did appreciate in me was my willingness to experiment, to try new ideas in the marketplace in the ways that they might not have.

When you were named CEO, there was some anxiety about the new boss. How did you bring around Wall Street and the employees?

Wall Street was easier than the employees because of my relationship with the financial community. Between 1998 and 2000, I had been doing most of the presentations to analysts, though John was certainly present. I had been meeting with key investors and visiting customers and employees. So when John and Chuck officially retired, Wall Street knew that I was already running the company in many ways. But I knew some of the employees had some anxiety about it. The critics were concerned that I didn't have John and Chuck's technical background. Who would drive the company's technical vision, considering that I wasn't a technologist and that Adobe had built its foundation on technological differentiation?

So at the first employee meeting I held as CEO, I made it very clear to the employees that I couldn't fill John and Chuck's shoes alone. I imagined a picture of myself in front of two very large shoes, and I told the employees that I would fill one shoe, but they had to fill the other one. I was counting on them.

How are you doing things differently from John and Chuck?

Adobe is going through a transformation. We are no longer a little company. We're a $1.2 billion company with a market cap of somewhere between $6 billion and $8 billion. And I think we can become a $5 billion company over the next several years. That requires a whole different way of doing business.

Any notable missteps along the way? Any lessons from what has happened?

John told me, when he was handing over the title, that the CEO's job is very lonely. While you have the board to speak to, the board is also your boss, and you really don't have any peers within the company. I think I was too slow to reach out and engage with other CEOs — to find a peer group to learn from. Over the past year and a half, I've joined a CEO group. We meet quarterly under non-disclosure agreement.

The other thing I would do differently is to confront the hard organizational and people issue quickly, especially around my executive staff. Because I was promoted from within, I was sometimes too "nice" at the beginning. I didn't want to disrupt the comfortable work environment. I allowed the present situation to persist longer than? should have. I knew that I needed to reorganize and eliminate those people who weren't fight for the positions.

What's your advice to executives who are to take over as CEO?

Be honest, open, and direct, and recognize that for every employee who might like what you are doing, there could be another who doesn't and you are not going to make everyone happy. Most important, make sure, if your ex-CEO is still going to be on the board, to have an agreement going in so that they are going to let you do the job.

? You will hear an interview with Bruce Chizen, CEO of Adobe.

? For each question 23-30, mark one letter (A, B or C) for the correct answer.

? You will hear the interview twice.

What qualities did John Warnock and Chuck Geschek appreciate in Bruce Chizen?

A.He was from the eastern part of US.

B.He is willing to try new ideas.

C.He is good at experiment.

To: John Davidson From: Peter Plate Date: April 10Subject: The Water Quality Conference

To: John Davidson

From: Peter Plate

Date: April 10

Subject: The Water Quality Conference in Jacksonville

Flight.doc(2 KB)

Dear Mr. John Davidson,

Regarding the trip to the conference in Jacksonville, Florida, I have looked for flights on the Internet and found out a few possibilities that we could use. You had indicated that you wanted to fly to Destin but that might not be the best plan. Although it is a cheaper flight, we'd then have to take a bus to Jacksonville, which would take a long time. I'd prefer to fly directly to Jacksonville. Also, the morning flight would be ideal. We would have time in the afternoon to see the capital of Florida, Tallahassee. Please see the attachment and let me know what you prefer.

We also need to reserve hotel rooms. The conference organizer informed me that the Europa Hotel does not have rooms available until the beginning of May. It is very disappointing because staying at the same hotel where the conference is being held would be convenient for us.

However, there are other options. Western Phoenix Hotel and Victoria Park Plaza Hotel are within walking distance. If they are full, there is the Corona Hotel. Would you mind arranging a hotel room for us? The hotel phone numbers are on the conference web site. We'll have to reserve 5 days. The conference is from April 26 to 28, but we should try to arrive in Jacksonville on April 25 and leave on April 29.

Best regards,

Peter Plate

Flight Information / April 25

To: John Davidson From: Peter Plate Date: April 10

What does Mr. Peter Plate advise against doing?

A.Arriving a day earlier in Jacksonville

B.Flying to Destin

C.Sightseeing in Florida

D.Booking a flight on the Internet
