5、 celebrate our one hundred years in the cosmetics business. Id like to take this opportunity to share the success of our company with everyone. Over the last three years we have been making great achievements. There has been a 5 % increase in sales every year. And Im confident to say that we will ha

6、ve a better future. I believe with our present strategy well enjoy a 15% net profit growth in earnings pershare over the next five years. However, we do know that our company has been through a lot during the past few years. Due to the global economic crisis, before we applied the new strategy, our

7、sales had dropped 7%. But Im very glad to see we finally get through the hard time. Now we are facing new opportunities as wellas challenges. Probably you have known that our major competitors, EL and Snowy are huge internationals. They have invested in many other fields such as real estate and ente

8、rtainment. However, our main focus is still on cosmetics and we have found some new markets in Asia. Unlike our competitors who are still dealingwith the Europe market, we have opened a new door to Asia which has a greater demand of high quality cosmetics. We have to admit that with the development

9、of their economy, in China, Japan and some other countries, customers have more money and are willing to spend more on high class cosmetics which might be luxury for them before. Using certain brands of cosmetics can represent their social status in some way. We must take this opportunity to make ne

10、w progress. Thus, we formed a new management team targeting at the new market. And with their help,weve planned a three-pronged attack for the next decade. Firstly, well be setting up a research center to study Asian peoples facial situation so that our products can better help with their problems.

11、Secondly markets may change, but our guarantee of high quality doesnt, and so well remain faithful to our premium pricingpolicy and resist all temptation to give discounts purely for short-term gains. That wouldnt lead us anywhere. Thirdly, promotion is the key for the future. We are planning to inc

12、rease the investment in TV advertising to let the customers get familiar with our brand and set up a positive image of high quality in their mind. Besides advertising, our company should also be actively involved with local affairssuch as charity and the protection of the environment. The image of o

13、ur brand should have multiple meanings. We should make the local market accept us not only as a cosmetics company but also one with great social responsibilities. I believe in this way, we can gain more trust from the local customers as well as from the local government for our further benefit.2.答案:

We boast our 30 y

18、ears in providing first-class horticultural tools and equipments, and our customer base was focused on the local regions, then extended into worldwide coverage. In retrospect it hurts to review the hardships we once encountered. The biggest issue for us is to ensuring we are in possession of the rig

19、ht products in stock. You know, we order from our established suppliers in good time to cater to our customers demand but things often go wrong. What Im saying is that they are liable to get shipped to the wrong depot or theres some sort of severe strike. Well, thats our biggest headache actually, g

20、etting the goods to the customers punctually. Speaker 2 F: We renamed the company Ancora in 1993 in honor of the founder of it. Ancora is engaged in the development, manufacture and commercialization of pharma-ceutical products. With employees over 2,500 people worldwide, our products are sold in ov

21、er 25 countries. No large corporations are able to escape certain business obstacles. One of the challenges we are confronted with is to get the quote right. The currency fluctuations, especially over the last quarter, have made it extremely difficult. In April, the dollar was trading at 85.5 yen wh

22、ile the exchange decreased by 1.5% next month. In these days of the Internet, theres a lot more transparency. Customers can even check how much their competitors are being charged. Speaker 3 M: Set up in a local community, our firm gained such advantage of getting close to its customers. You know, t

23、here is a strong competition in this industry, television, even though no family can live without TV, it is no exaggeration. Other main players running cable TV service are funded and supported by big investors, so we have to figure out effective ways to get this balanced. We have found that there a

24、re a variety of ways of conducting business. Here we spend much longer talking to our customerswe know very detailed information about them, their families everything. But the head office staff are not accustomed to acting this time. They just intend to arrive, negotiate and sign the contract. So we

25、 should remember: haste makes waste! Speaker 4 F: The history of our company is traced back to last century, but it was just 1994, last century sounds scary, though. We received contracts to manufacture costumes and down coats. Economy slowed down in the country, you know at the beginning of 2000, a

26、nd we were so at a toss then. Change was really hard! But we had to, had to shift into toys production and export. And everything has seemed fine since then. Problems arise again, and from my point of view, helping our company to deal with all the formsyou know the export licences, special permits,

27、and so on. Its quite sophisticated but we are in a position to advise the firm on how to get through all these steps. Speaker 5 M: As the economy grows and transportation develops, an increasing number of people travel around the world. So our country rich in tourist resources need many travel agenc

28、ies and hotels. Specializing in the catering industry, our enterprise established twenty branches hotels in our country. Im employed in one of the braches, and occasionally were incapable of handling peak occupancy, especially in summer holidays. That means we must inform Head Office of our problems

29、. So for us what we find really complicated is dwelling on what its like hereyou know the market and the special needs we have. We entail the chance for Head Office to visit us and for us to visit them. Only in this way will we really understand each others needs.2. _答案: E3. _答案: C4. _答案: B5. _答案: H
