听力原文:M: Right, I guess you've got some ideas for our product promotion(23).
W: Well, first we must win over the medical circle, so I thought we should launch a campaign in all the specialist medical journals to promote our drugs, antibiotics and so on.
M: Yes, that's a good idea.
W: Then TV commercials.
M: Just a moment, are you sure we're allowed to advertise medicines on TV?
W: Oh yes, provided they are not drugs which need a prescription. You can advertise over- the-counter products. We can get users of our products to recommend them--"Their lotion cured my disease in six days." for example.
M: Now, hold on. It is forbidden to claim any positive cure for a disease. And we mustn't offer any drugs for illness which should be treated by a doctor.
W: Mmm. OK. What about this—a series of full page newspaper ads with the message that most doctors consider our products the best.
M: That depends on whether it's true.
W: Sure it is. But here is another suggestion. We could offer to return the purchase price to anyone who's not satisfied with one of our products (24). It's possible to do that, isn't it?
M: No, I'm afraid not (24). Manufacturers of medical products are not allowed to promise a return of price in their ads.
W: Well, it looks as though I'll have to come up with something else. I never realize the regulations were so rigid (25).
(20)
A.The advertising price of the products.
B.How to develop the quality of the drugs.
C.How to promote their products.
D.HOW to satisfy people with more medicine.

听力原文:M: Right, let's get on to the marketing strategy.
W: Well, the marketing team believe that we should launch the product at the International Trade Fair and invite the media to a party on the evening of the 22nd.
M: The idea being that the media will be more favourable to our product if we give them some food and drinks before they write their stories.
W: Exactly! But to be honest, our product should really sell myself.
M: Well, a little marketing and promotion won't hurt. We'll be giving demonstrations at the trade fair, right?
W: Yes, all day long. It'll be a little repetitive, but ensure that everyone has a chance to see it in action.
M: Good. Did you get the budget accepted by the Board of Directors?
W: I did. We've got the full amount we asked for. That means we can go ahead with the newspaper and Internet ads.
M: And the ads in the specialist magazines. I think that those will get us the bulk of our orders.
W: I agree. They're very expensive, but they'll be worth it. I've also placed the order for the brochures. The printer will have them done by the end of next week.
M: That was a good idea of yours to have the brochure prepared even before we got the budget approved. If we hadn't done that, we'd never have been able to get the brochures printed in time.
W: Well, it was clear that we'd get the budget we asked for. The board wasn't going to risk having our product flop because of a lack of publicity, was it?
M: I wasn't entirely sure we'd get the full budget, to be honest. I've seen the board fail to put enough money into marketing and promotion before.
W: Really? How could they be so short sighted!
M: It's amazing, isn't it?
W: Tell me about it over a drink. It's been a long day!
M: You're right. I'm really looking forward to the weekend.
W: Me, too. We've got everything ready to go. I might even come in late on Monday morning!
(23)
A.To celebrate the successful launch of the new product.
B.In order to create a favourable impression with the media.
C.Because everyone at the company has worked so hard on the project.
D.Because the Board of Directors has given the marketing department a large budget.

听力原文:Woman: Hey Dan. How did the appraisal go?
Man: Oh, it was pretty good thanks. Carol - she's my line manager - seemed to know me better than I knew myself, and she really helped me to identify strengths and weaknesses I didn't know I had. I'd thought we were just going to talk about practical things, like what my prospects are for promotion, rather than my psychology!
Woman: Do you want a promotion? I thought you'd chosen to go down a grade when you took this job.
Man: That's right. I used to manage a sales team. It meant working long hours, and it could be pretty difficult at times, though on the whole I enjoyed the challenge. But it kept me at a distance from customers and I wanted to go back to that. So here I am, a sales rep again. I'd be interested in promotion if it didn't stop me doing the fun parts of the job.
Woman: How have people reacted to your taking a step down?
Man: Most of the people in my last company found it strange, but in fact a couple of them thought about changing to this company too, though it didn't come to anything. There seems to be a rumour going around that I'll be looking for something better soon, but actually I'm pretty happy here.
Woman: You certainly seem to be good at the job.
Man: To be honest, with all the new insurance products coming out it isn't easy to keep up with them all. I have to struggle to remember everything that's available. At least working with a computer comes fairly natural to me, so that saves time.
Woman: I'm glad I don't have to deal with customers the way you do. I haven't got the patience.
Man: You certainly need that sometimes, when someone spends ages making up their mind, but I don't find it a problem. And I don't mind explaining complicated policies in simple language: it's quite a challenge. But there are some people I'd much rather avoid.
Unfortunately in this job, you've got to make everyone feel you really enjoy their company.
Woman: Quite frankly, the less I have to do with them the better!
Man: I tell you what though - in my appraisal I suggested some changes to the way I work. I couldn't persuade Carol to let me work fewer evenings and more on Saturdays, but at least I won't have to come into the office every day: she's letting me work from home instead. And that'll mean I'll waste less time travelling, so I should be able to make more commission, which will be a relief, as the basic salary's so low.
Woman: Good for you.
Man: We also talked about an idea I have for increasing sales, which she'll put to the senior managers. The company's spending much more on advertising now, so the name's more recognisable, but I suspect it doesn't lead directly to more business. Now that sales reps are allowed to travel anywhere in the country, incentives should be offered to existing customers to introduce new ones. It's the personal contact that counts.
Woman: So with your management experience, you must be in good position to judge your own line manager. What do you think of her skills?
Man: She'll always make time to listen to anyone in the team who wants to talk to her, and that's a plus. On the other hand, I've never known her to be ready for a meeting, even when she's called it herself, which isn't a very good model for the department. And it's really left up to us to motivate ourselves.
Woman: Well, I'm pleased your interview seems to have gone well.
Note: Teacher, stop the recording here and time ten minutes. Remind students when there is one minute remaining.
