更多“You can sell things on eBay by giving eBay certain amount of money from the final sale pri”相关的问题
第1题
听力原文：W: Hi, Peter.
M: Hi, Laura.
W: How was your final？
M: Absolutely no idea. Anyway, it's just wonderful to have finished the exam.
W: Yeah, to sleep in every morning.
M: Well, I've got a lot to do before I leave for Chicago. I've got a lot of things I can't take back with me and I don't know what to do with them. I'm wondering if I can sell them to someone before going back to Chicago. Perhaps you could give me some advice.
W: Well, it depends on what sort of things they are.
M: There are quite a lot. I have a computer which is secondhand and not worth much. What I really want to get rid of is the furniture, the fridge and other kitchen stuff. Oh, there are some clothes and books as well.
W: I see. Well, there are several alternatives. First of all, you could put up notices around the university about the books, you know, on the notice boards in the student union building, and anywhere the second- and third-year students will see them. People are always keen to buy cheap textbooks.
M: Then what should I say on the notices？
W: Just put the titles, authors and prices you want. Don't forget to put your phone number.
M: That's a good idea. What about the furniture？
W: You could try the same thing, but usually students are away all summer so they don't want to buy furniture now. Another place to try might be a second-hand shop. Someone from the shop will usually come around and give you a free quote, and then you can decide. But normally you won't get much money for that sort of stuff.
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
23. Which items does Peter want to sell？
24. What is Laura's suggestion about the books？
25. What does Laura think of the second-hand shop？
(20)
A．Tennis sets.
B．Computer and TV set.
C．Bookcase and book shelf.
D．Refrigerator and kitchen stuff.

Recessions
On November 26, 2001, the news media announced the United States was officially in a recession, and had been since March. To most Americans, this wasn't all that surprising: Rising unemployment and a weak stock market had been in the news for months.
Money Makes the World Go Round
A recession is a prolonged period of time when a nation's economy is slowing down, or contracting; Such a slowdown is characterized by a number of different trends, including:
- People buying less stuff
- Decrease in factory production
- Growing unemployment
- Slump in personal income
- An unhealthy stock market
- By the conventional definition, this slow-down has to continue for at least six months to be considered a recession.
This definition really raises more questions than it answers. What does it mean for the economy to slow down？ Why does this happen？ And what exactly is "the economy"？
People talk about the U.S. economy as an independent entity, but it is actually the result of millions of people's actions. You can understand the basic idea of the connection between people's actions and the overall economy by looking at only a few basic concepts: producers, consumers, markets, supply and demand.
Producers and Consumers
Broadly speaking, a nation's economy is the production and consumption of goods and services in that nation. Anybody producing or consuming things in a country plays some role in the economy.
Production and consumption are intertwined. In order for people to consume things, someone has to produce those things. And in order to produce things, you need to consume things(you need to consume natural resources and people's labor, for example).
Markets
In a market economy, or a modified market economy such as the U.S. economy, production and consumption are connected in various "markets." A market is simply a place where consumers can go to buy things from producers and producers can go to sell things to consumers.
A grocery store is an example of a physical market. People who want to consume food go to the grocery store and buy it from producers through a series of middlemen. The store itself is one of the middlemen, and there are usually others along the way(distribution companies, for example). The labor market is a more abstract sort of market. In this market, businesses who want to consume work pay people to produce labor. In the stock market, consumers and producers buy and sell percentages of ownership of companies.
As you can see, almost everybody is both a producer and a consumer acting in more than one market. If you have a job, you are a producer of labor. Whenever you go shopping, you are a consumer of goods.
Supply and Demand
The ultimate goal of producers is to make money—to bring in more money than they spent producing the product. Consumers may want to satisfy their wants and needs by buying products, or they may buy products in order to make money(by reselling the products or by using the products to produce other products). In any case, consumers generally want to pay as little for goods and services as they can.
In a market, the actions of producers and consumers determine the value of goods and services. Producers are the ones who actually set prices, but they do so based on the behavior. of consumers. If nobody buys a product at a particular price, the producer knows the price is too high. If some consumers buy it, but not enough to buy everything produced, producers must either decrease the price or decrease the supply. The willingness of consumers to pay for products is known as demand. Even if there is constant high demand for a product(toilet paper, for example), individual producers need to keep the price down or consumers will just buy

听力原文： You may be all these things at the office, and more. But when it comes to getting ahead, experts say, the ABCs of business should include a P, for politics, as in office politics.
Hard work alone doesn't ensure career advancement. You have to be able to sell yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind the scenes. Yet, despite the obvious rewards of engaging in office politics --a better job, a raise, praise—many people are still unable or unwilling to "play the game."
People assume that office polities involve some tactful behaviors, but politics derive from the word "polite". It can mean communication and forming associations. It can mean being kind and helpful, or even trying to please your superior, and then expecting something in return.
In fact, today, experts define office politics as proper behavior. used to pursue one's own self-interest in the workplace. In many cases, this involves some form. of socializing within the office environment-- not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well.
The first thing people are usually judged on is their ability, but if two or three candidates are up for a promotion, each of whom has reasonably similar ability, a manager is going to promote the person he or she likes best. It's simple human nature. Yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have trouble with the concept of politics in the office. Some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes to succeed. Still others associate politics with flattery, fearful that, if they speak up for themselves, they may appear to be flattering their boos for favors. Experts suggest altering this negative picture by recognizing the need for some self-promotion.
(30)
A．The political views and beliefs of office workers.
B．The interpersonal relationships within a company.
C．The various qualities required for a successful career.
D．The code of behavior. for company staff.

听力原文：W: I don't understand how the inventor earns money from the invention. (19) After all, anyone can copy and sell it. Really, what is a patent？ A piece of paper？ A philosophy？ You can't see it.
M: I am glad you asked that. Actually when an inventor has a patent, it's enforceable by the laws in the country where the inventor developed the invention. If anyone makes and sells the product then the inventor can take them to civil court.
W: What can the inventor expect to receive if he sues and wins？
M: Well, there are different things the court could do, but there's no guarantee. There's a good chance (20) the court could award him compensation and orders to stop the manufacture and sale of goods. It may well be that the goods would be ordered to be destroyed.
W: Can the other person being sued do anything to help themselves？
M: That's the beauty of the whole thing. Ignorance of the law doesn't count, I'm afraid. However, the other person can counter-sue pretending that they were actually the original inventor.
W: You said the inventor is protected by the laws of the country. Is everything equal？ Do all countries have the same law？
M: No, they're not all equal. You're right. It's only in theory. It is being worked on. The World Trade Organization has developed an agreement, Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights, which makes sure that the patent is valid for 20 years.
W: That doesn't make sense. Twenty years is a long time.
M: Actually, it does. (21) It's believed that inventors make and sell goods faster after they register the patent because there's a 20-year limitation on the patent. On the other hand, other inventors can use the information the inventor disclosed when the product was registered. Giving the information is all part of the deal.
W: Cool.
19. Why can the woman hardly understand that an inventor earns money from the invention？
20.What may the court ask the sued person to do？
21.How does a valid time span of a patent influence the inventor？
(1)
A．Piracy is an easy thing to commit.
B．Invention usually needs heavy cost.
C．Patent is useful but not practical.
D．Inventions are difficult to spread.

Ways to Take It to the Next Level
No matter what you're doing, there comes a time when you are going to want to take things up a notch. Maybe it's your career -- even if things are going along fine right now, ultimately you'd like to get a promotion, increase your client base, or reach a larger audience. Or maybe it's a hobby that you think you'd like to turn into a career.
Getting started with anything can be a struggle, but once you reach a certain level of success, it can be hard to figure out how to make whatever it is you do truly remarkable. The things we do have a way of developing their own inertia, and if we're not careful, we get carried along in the routine without ever realizing the full potential of what we and our lives can be.
How can you shake things up a bit？ What do you have to do to take your project, your career, your product, or your life to the next level？ Read on...
1. Build Your Brand
The strength of your brand is how well you are associated with whatever you do. When people hear the word" lifehack", they think of personal productivity, and when they hear" personal productivity" they think of lifehack. It's a pretty strong brand. Some people have equally strong brands: when you hear about permission marketing, chances are you think of Seth Godin.
How strongly is your name linked with what you do？ What could you do to link them more strongly？ Some things to consider:
- Traditional marketing: Commercials, print ads, billboards, bus wraps -- anything that gets your name and message in people's faces. There are a few problems, though: people might mistake your message, linking you with the wrong specialty; people tend to tune out a lot of advertising as a survival mechanism; people often respond negatively to blatant (炫耀的) branding efforts; it's quite expensive.
- blogging: A blog is a conversation with your audience, and can help build up a loyal following that actually cares about what you do.
- Word-of-mouth: Hard to create and hard to fake, but very effective. Seek out people with a great deal of influence and focus on convincing them of your value. If Seth Godin wrote on his blog that you were the best web writer he knew of, we can bet that within the day your career would be at the next level (maybe the level after that, even!).
2. Build Your Audience
Make a concerted effort to increase the number of people who know about you. Branding is part of this, but it's not all of it. Give something away, find a new outlet, tell everyone you meet what you do, hand out cards wherever you go, show up at conferences and exhibitions, go to your kids' class rooms and talk about what you do (and make it interesting enough that they tell their parents). Make yourself useful so people have a compelling reason to pay attention.
3. Increase Your Output
Give your audience, whoever that is, more of what they expect from you. Double, triple, or sextuple your output. If you're a writer, write twice as much. If you're an actor, get into more plays. If you're a filmmaker, pledge to produce four short films this year instead of one. Make a painting a day. Aim to top your sales quotas by 50% every month. Do whatever it takes to make yourself more productive. Learn to do whatever you do in half the time -- then halve it again.
4. Improve Your Output
Make whatever you make twice as well. Improve the quality of your work until people have no choice but to stop and gape (目瞪口呆). Create standards for your output, and aim to top them every single time. Take classes, read book, follow a mentor, practice twice as much, commit yourself to doing what it takes to master your craft or profession.
5. Expand Your Niche (合适的位置、职业)
Do what you do now but with a wider outlook. If you write about dogs, start writing about pets in general. If you sell widgets, get into t

听力原文：M: Uh, could I borrow a few dollars until payday？ I need cash badly.
W: Uh, yeah, I guess, but I'm short of pennies myself, and you still owe me ＄ 20 from last week. And mom and your friends said you borrowed money from them this past week.
M: Oh, yeah.
W: How are things going anyway？
M: Well, not very well. To be honest, I'm really in the hole, and I can't seem to make ends meet these days.
W: What do you mean？ I thought you landed a great job recently, so you must be loaded.
M: Well, I do have a job, but I've used my credit cards to pay off a lot of things recently, but now, I can't seem to pay the money off.
W: Uh, do you have a budget？ I mean, how do you keep track of your income and expenses？
M: Well, when my money runs out, I come to you, of course.
W: Great!
M: No, but I guess I should have some financial plan.
W: Well, let me see if I can help you. How much money do you spend on your apartment？
M: Uh, I pay ＄ 890 on rent for the studio apartment downtown not including utilities and cable TV. But the place has an awesome view of the city.
W: Uh, ＄ 890! Why arc you paying through the nose for such a small place when you could find a cheaper one somewhere outside of the downtown area？
M: Yeah, I guess.
W: Okay. How much money do you spend on food a month？
M: Hmmm. I'm not really sure. I think I spend around ＄ 600.
W: ＄ 600？!
M: Well, I go out to eat at least four times a week, so those expenses add up. I just don't enjoy eating alone, and I don't have the ability for cooking like you do.
W: Well, I can understand that, but perhaps you ought to buy some microwaveable meals you could prepare at home.
M: Well, I guess I could.
W: And entertainment？
M: Well, I spend a few dollars here and there on basketball and movie tickets, a concert or two, and ballroom dance lessons.
W: Uh, exactly hoe much do you spend on all of these？ Just a "few" dollars？
M: Well, oh about ＄ 400 or so.
W: Or so？ No wonder you're having money problems. You can't just blow your money on things like that! And what about transportation？
M: Oh, I commute to work everyday in my new car, but I got a great deal, and my monthly payments are only ＄ 450 a month. Come outside and take a look. We can go for a spin!
W: No, I've heard enough. You've got to control your spending, or you'll end up broke. I suggest you get rid of your credit cards, cut back on your entertainment expenses, and sell your car. Take public transport from now on.
M: Sell my car？ I can't date without a ear. What am I going to say？ "Uh, could you meet me downtown at the bus stop at 7:00？" Come on!
W: And you nee to create a budget for yourself and stick to it, and start with paying off your bills, starting with me. You owe me ＄ 50 dollars.
M: Fifty dollars! Wait, I only borrowed ＄ 20 from you last week. How did you come up with ＄ 50？
W: Financial consulting fees. My advice is at least worth ＄ 30!
