背誦段落：

2 When a recent college graduate came into my office not too long ago looking for a sales job, I asked him what he had done to prepare for the interview. He said he’d read something about us somewhere.

不久前一個新近畢業的大學生到我辦公室謀求一份銷售工作。我問他為這次面試做過哪些準備。他說他在什么地方看到過有關本公司的一些情況。

3 Had he called anyone at Mackay Envelope Corporation to find out more about us? No. Had he called our suppliers? Our customers? No.

他有沒有給麥凱信封公司的人打過電話，好了解更多有關我們的情況？沒打過。他有沒有給我們的供應廠商打過電話？還有我們的客戶？都沒有。

4 Had he checked with his university to see if there were any graduates working at Mackay whom he could interview? Had he asked any friends to grill him in a mock interview? Did he go to the library to find newspaper clippings on us?

他可曾在就讀的大學里查問過有沒有校友在本公司就職，以便向他們了解一些情況?他可曾請朋友向他提問，對他進行模擬面試？可曾去圖書館查找過有關本公司的剪報？

5 Did he write a letter beforehand to tell us about himself, what he was doing to prepare for the interview and why he’d be right for the job? Was he planning to follow up the interview with another letter indicating his eagerness to join us? Would the letter be in our hands within 24 hours of the meeting, possibly even hand-delivered?

他事先有沒有寫封信來介紹自己，告訴我們自己為這次面試在做哪些準備，自己何以能勝任此項工作？面試之后他是否打算再寫一封信，表明自己加盟本公司的誠意？這封信會不會在面試后的24小時之內送到我們手上，也許甚至是親自送來？

6 The answer to every question was the same: no. That left me with only one other question: How well prepared would this person be if he were to call on a prospective customer for us? I already knew the answer.

他對上述每一個問題的回答全都一樣：沒有。這樣我就只剩一個問題要問了：如果此人代表本公司去見可能成為我們客戶的人，他準備工作會做得怎樣？答案不言自明。

unit 4

背誦段落：

3 Although Browder and Mandl define their nationality differently, both see their identity as a matter of personal choice, not an accident of birth. And not incidentally, both are Davos Men, members of the international business elite who trek each year to the Swiss Alpine town for the annual meeting of the world Economic Forum, founded in 1971. This week, Browder and Mandl will join more than 2,200 executives, politicians, academics, journalists, writers and a handful of Hollywood stars for five days of networking, parties and endless earnest discussions about everything from post-election Iraq and HIV in Africa to the global supply of oil and the implications of nanotechnology. Yet this year, perhaps more than ever, a hot topic at Davos is Davos itself. Whatever their considerable differences, most Davos Men and Women share at least one belief that globalization, the unimpeded flows of capital, labor and technology across national borders, is both welcome and unstoppable. They see the world increasingly as one vast, interconnected marketplace in which corporations search for the most advantageous locations to buy, produce and sell their goods and services.

雖然布勞德和曼德爾對各自的國籍有不同的界定，但他們都將國籍視為個人選擇問題，而并非由出生地決定。而且，他們兩個人都是達沃斯人，這可不是湊巧的事。達沃斯人指的是那些每年長途跋涉去瑞士阿爾卑斯山區的小城參加年度世界經濟論壇的國際商業精英們。（該論壇成立于1971年）本周，布勞德和曼德爾將同2200余名企業高管﹑政客﹑學者﹑記者﹑作家和幾位好萊塢明星一起，參加為期五天的交際活動﹑宴會和無休止的認真的討論。討論話題形形色色，從大選后的伊拉克和非洲的艾滋病病毒到全球的石油供應和納米技術的意義。但是今年，或許比以往更甚的是，達沃斯論壇的一個熱門話題即達沃斯本身。盡管與會男女各不相同，但他們大多數有一個共同的信念：全球化，即資本﹑勞動力和技術不受阻礙的跨國界流動，既值得歡迎又不可阻擋。在他們看來，世界越來越像一個巨大的互相聯系的市場。在這個市場里，企業尋求采購﹑生產及銷售產品和服務的最佳地點。
