听力原文：M: Oh, hello, Li Li. Come on in, and how've you been keeping recently？

W: Quite all right. Thanks, Dr. Francis. How's your project going？

M: Very smoothly, I should say. I'm playing a consultancy role, really. I've only been here in China for a month, but I'm already on very good terms with my colleagues in the Department of Computer Science. Well, I'm happy that you could come. Do sit down, please.

W: Dr. Francis, do you know I've got a chance to go to Cambridge in August？ I wonder if you could tell me something about Britain.

M: Certainly. Well, I was actually brought up in Scotland. Er...in fact, I've never been to Cambridge. But well...yes, I'm sure I can give you some useful tips. Now, what do you want to know, Li Li？

W: Things like weather. What's the usual temperature there？

M: Mmm, the temperature in Scotland is 22 or 23 degrees centigrade, on average, I think. But Cambridge would be warmer, around 25, I would guess, because it's down south.

W: Oh, that's nice. Do you know it is 34 here？ Last year it reached 39. By the way, where do you think I should stay？

M: Oh, that's important. You can, er... I suppose, stay in the college-owned fiats, which are often near where you have your classes, and some are even on the campus. That would certainly be convenient.

W: Yes, it would.

M: But it can also be a disadvantage because you are, in a sense, separated from ordinary society. You're a language teacher, and I think learning from society is a valuable experience.

W: Yes, yes, exactly. So what's the alternative？

M: Maybe finding an English host family. I know of a student Ali from the Middle East. He told me that he had learnt a lot by staying with a British family.

W: Thank you. I think it's quite a good suggestion. By the way, Dr. Francis, do you think I could...

听力原文：W: Morning, Mr. Park.

M: Come here, Miss Li, I have something to talk to you.

W: What's the problem, Mr. Park？

M: We need to define a new strategy which must be flexible enough to take account of changing market conditions.

W: I agree. Our main objective must be to gain market share, and to do this we must reduce prices.

M: So you are sure that if we reduce prices, our market share will increase？

W: Yes, I'm sure.

M: That might be true. But if we reduce our prices, our margins will be lower and that will cut our profits.

W: In short term it is right. But we can slowly increase our production and as the production is increased, we may cut unit cost.

M: That's really a log-term prospect. But I believe higher profitability is our objective. The better the products, the higher the price, and the higher price will enhance higher profits.

W: The market is already very competitive. And if we raise our prices, whatever the quality, sales will drop rapidly.

M: Then shall we look at it from the other viewpoint--manufacturing. Well, if we can reduce cost in manufacturing that must put us in a strong position to adapt to the market. The only way for us is to sub-contract more of the production.

W: That will mean job losses if we do that.

M: That's true. But the jobs that remain will be more secure.

W: It sounds reasonable. Maybe we can try this way.

M: That's the best we can do, don't you agree？

(23)

A．Market share

B．Company strategy

C．High profitability

D．Manufacturing
