Take on Listening:Listening and Speaking Strategies（book 2）

Lesson 2(1)

Part Two

Emily: Okay, here’s the place.

Vicky: The Multiple Organic Diner? Emily, do you really want to eat in this hole in the wall? Larry: Now, Vicky, Emily is trying to help us get back into shape. Besides, this place doesn’t look so bad. It’s a little dark maybe, but I’m sure it’s clean.

Emily: That’s the spirit. Let’s take that table over there.

Vicky: I suppose there’s no smoking allowed in here.

Emily: Of course not, big sister. This is a health food restaurant. Besides, I thought you said you were going to kick the habit.

Vicky: Well, Emily, I’ve tried. But, every time I stop smoking, I gain ten pounds. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to give up smoking.

Emily: But you’ll feel so much better when you do! I’ve been eating well and exercising every day.

I run two miles every other day and play tennis every Sunday. I feel wonderful and everybody tells me I look great.

Larry: Yeah, Vicky, I think Emily is right. By the way, where’s the waiter? I’d like to order a drink before we eat.

Emily: Larry, it’s only three o’clock in the afternoon. Besides, health food restaurants don’t serve alcohol.

Vicky: Wait a minute, Larry. I thought we agreed that you’d stop drinking if I quit smoking. Emily: I think you should both quit. Doesn’t this restaurant make you want to start living a healthy life? Why, just look at this menu. Everything they serve here is natural and nutritious.

Larry: Never mind nutritious. What are the burgers like? I’m starving.

Emily: Oh, Larry. You must know that hamburgers have a lot of fat and are high in calories. Vicky: And the doctor told you that you have to lower your cholesterol and lose at least 25 pounds. Smoking isn’t the only way to have a heart attack early in life, you know. I’ m your wife and I’m too young to dress all in black.

Larry: Don’t worry, dear, I’m not going to die any time soon. Besides, I’m going to start my new diet on Monday.

Emily: That’s great. Larry, but I think the only real way to lose weight is to eat less and exercise more.

Vicky: I agree with Emily. All you have to do is stop eating desserts and fried foods and no more alcohol.

Larry: You know, maybe you’re right. Emily can help me plan a diet.

Emily: And don’t forget the exercise. Why don’t you two come running with me. I’d love to have the company and we could play tennis together, too.

Vicky: No, running hurts my knees. I think swimming would be the best exercise for me. Larry: Well, I don’t like swimming or running. But, I would like to get back into playing handball.

I was a really good player when I was younger.

Emily: Well, the important thing is that you two make some serious changes in your life style. I’m really glad you’re doing this. Now, let’s celebrate your decision by ordering a nice tall glass of carrot-onion juice.

Vicky and Larry: Carrot-onion juice?

Emily: Of course. It’s chock-full of vim and vitality! It’s rich in vitamins and minerals. There’s vitamin C, B, and of course A for the eyes.

Larry: Wait a minute. Our diet doesn’t start until Monday. If we’re going to do any celebrating, I say we should go over to the Burger Palace and have a real celebration.

Emily: But…

Vicky: I’m with you, Larry. Come on, I’m starving. See you later, Emily.

Part Three

Exercise 1

1. What’s the shortest height and lowest weight for men on this chart?

2. What is the heaviest weight for women on this chart?

3. How much should a 5’4’ woman weigh?

4. How much should a 5’11’ man weigh?

5. Who should weigh more: a small-boned 5’5” man, or a small-boned 5’7’ woman?

6. Who should weigh more: a small-boned 5’11’ man, or a large-boned 5’11’ woman? Exercise 1D

1. I’m small-boned like all of the women in my family. Well, to tell the truth, the men in my family are no giants either. I’m only 5’1” and I weigh 126 pounds.

2. I’m 5’9”. My weight goes between 175 and 180. I try to eat healthy foods and get exercise, but I have to travel a lot for my job, and when I’m out of town, it’s ery difficult to stay on my diet.

I have a normal build.

3. I’m 5’7” and I weigh 109 pounds. I guess you can say that I have an average build; well, as average as I’m ever going to get! I have looked like this ever since I was a kid. And my mother used to make me wear short skirts with bright-colored tights. I looked just like Rippi Longstocking!

4. I am 5’7” and I am very proud to say that I weigh 130 pounds. I guess you could say that I’ve got a small build. Believe it or not, I used to weigh 30 pounds. I t was hard work, but I’m very pleased with the results.

5. I’m 6’4” and you’d be surprised how many times every day people ask me about my height. I like towering over the rest of the world, but sometimes it’s difficult finding suits and other clothing that fits. And there’s no way I could ever fit into a sports car! I’m average build and I weigh about 170 pounds.

6. I’m 5’2” and I weigh 140 pounds. I’m big-boned, but my bones are not as heavy as I like to think they are. I used to be skinny as a child, but age and laziness have made some changes. And having five children sure didn’t help.

Exercise 2B

1. Find Vegetables. Which vegetable has the highest number of calories? Which vegetable has the lowest number of calories?

2. Now, find Beverages. How many calories are there in two cups of tea?

3. Look at Vegetables. How many calories are there in twelve spears of asparagus?

4. Look at Desserts and Snacks. Which has more calories: a slice of apple pie or a slice of chocolate cake?

5. Look at Meats and Poultry. How many calories are there in two hot dogs?

6. Look at Grains. Which has fewer calories: two cups of oatmeal or two slices of pizza?

7. Look at Beverages. Which is more fattening, a cup of coffee or a cup of orange juice?

8. Look at Fruit. Which has more calories: an apple or a banana?

9. Look at Miscellaneous Items. Which has fewer calories: a tablespoon of honey or a tablespoon of jam?

10. Look at Grains. Which has fewer calories: a tuna sandwich on white bread or a tuna sandwich on a roll?

Exercise 2C

Customer 1:

Yes, I’d like the Dieter’s Delight. Now, let’s see; it says that that comes with a half cup of cottage cheese, a sliced tomato, six spears of asparagus, and a cup of fresh pineapple. That doesn’t sound too bad. I don’t think I’ll have to worry about going over my calorie limit. Oh, and I’d also kike a cup of coffee please—black with no sugar.

Customer 2:

I think I’ll have the salmon and a baked potato…Oh, wait a minute; the last time I had the salmon it was a little too dry. Hmm…I don’t really feel like eating cod…Uh, well, tell you what; let me have the steak—medium-rare, please. Yeah, I don’t care if they say that red meat is bad for you. As a matter of fact, make the steak blood rare. A nice thick steak once in a while never hurt anybody. Of course, I’ll want a baked potato with my steak. I’d also like a beer, please. Customer 3

I’d like a turkey sandwich on whole wheat, please. If you don’t mind, I’d like the bread lightly toasted. I don’t want any mayonnaise; please give me mustard—just a little mustard—instead. Hot mustard if you have it. Mustard is so much better for you than mayonnaise. It tastes just as good and has a fraction of the calories. I’ll have a glass of iced tea with two sugars as well, please.

Lesson 3(1)

PART TWO MAIN DIALOGUE

Exercise 1

Gary: Well, here we are in L.A. Where shall we go first? Let’s look at the map.

Don: We’ve never been to the Grand Canyon in Arizona…

Gary: Okay. Let’s go there.

Don: I hear it’s the most beautiful place on earth. It’s over 300 miles long, and the Colorado River goes right through it.

Gary: I wonder if we can go down into the canyon.

Don: Sure. They have all sorts of trips and tours. We can even take a small plane ride into the canyon.

Gary: That sounds great.

Don: All right then, the first stop is the Grand Canyon. Let’s be sure to call and make reservati ons at the campground. I’m sure the Arizona Tourist Service will help us. How long should we stay? Gary: We want to do some hiking in the canyon and boating on the Colorado River. How does three days sound?

Don: That sounds right. Where do we go from there?

Gary: How about heading north? It starts to boil in the southwest in the summer.

Don: Then let’s head up to Wyoming and camp a few days in the Yellowstone National Park. Gary: Great. We can crash for one night in Salt Lake City, Utah, on the way.

Don: Salt Lake City, Utah?

Gary: Yeah, I heard it’s an interesting city. And it’s on the way to Yellowstone.

Don: Okay. So, we’ll go north through Salt Lake City up to Yellowstone. I’ve always dreamed of camping under the stars in Wyoming. And, of course, seeing Old Faithful in Yellowstone. Gary: Old Faithful? Is that the place where hot water shoots into the air every hour or so?

Don: Uh-huh, Old Faithful geysers. It’s supposed to be really exciting to watch.

Gary: What else is there to do?

Don: We can go horseback riding, hiking, and fishing on lake Yellowstone. Also, if we go all the way out to some of the remote parts of the park, we can look for bears and other wild animals. Gary: Ooh, that sounds a little scary.

Don: Yeah, but exciting. Let’s plan to stay three days. Hey, it’s not that far east from Yellowstone to Mt. Rushmore in South Dakota.

Gary: Is that the place where that artist carved the whole side of the mountain and made it into the shape of the heads of four presidents?

Don: Yeah.

Gary: Are you sure that’s in South Dakota? I thought Mt. Ruchmore is in North Dakota.

Don: No, it’s in South Dakota.

Gary: Can we camp near there, or do we have to spring for a hotel?

Don: No, we won’t have to spend money on hotels until we hit a big city. I’m sure we can camp somewhere nearby.

Gary: Should we plan to stay one night?

Don: That sounds about right.

Gary: Where to next?

Don: Let’s go to Minnesota. Uncle Leo and Aunt Dora now live in Minneapolis. They have a big house. I’m sure they’d put us up. Minnesota is one of the most beautiful states in the country. It’s has thousands of lakes, plus the Mississippi River.

Gary: Yeah, and it has great theater and dance, and the Minnesota Orchestra is one of the best in the entire country.

Don: Maybe we should stay four days to make sure we see everything.

Gary: Good idea. And from Minnesota, we can go down through Wisconsin into Illinois to Chicago. It sounds like a really great city; It’s right on Lake Michigan.

Don: Chicago is known for its music; especially jazz. I want to go to a jazz club every night. Gary: I really want to walk around Chicago and look at the architecture. My engineering teacher told me the buildings in the city are incredibly beautiful to look at. Why don’t we make hotel reservations for three nights.

Don: That sounds about right. So, what’s our itinerary?

Gary: Let’s see. From L.A. we go to Arizona; then Utah, Wyoming, South Dakota, Minnesota, and finally Chicago, Illinois.

Don: Do you think we can do all of this in two and a half weeks? We’ve got to get back in time for registration.

Gary: No problem. The way you burn rubber on the highway, we’ll get from Chicago to L.A. in half a day!

Don: Ha, ha, ha! I think we’ll need to count on as least four days for the return trip.

Gary: This sounds like the perfect vacation.

Don: Yeah, now all we have to do is figure out how to pay for it!

PART TWO MAIN DIALOGUE

Exercise 1

1. What is the main idea of this dialogue?

2. Where do you think this dialogue is taking place?

3. What is the relationship between the two speakers?

4. How old do you think the speakers are?

5. How would you describe the two speakers?\

Reiko: Excuse me. I need to interview someone for my communications Skills class. Could I ask you questions? It will only be a dew minutes.

Kitty: Well, okay. Sure.

Reiko: Thank you so much. Okay, um, uh, I’m sorry; I’m a little nervous. Uh, do you have a lot of midterm tests that you are studying for?

Kitty: I sure do. I have two tests next Tuesday that I haven’t had time to begin studying for. Reiko: Oh! Maybe you want to study now. I don’t.

Kitty: Don’t worry. I can talk to you for a dew minutes. Please, ask me your questions.

Reiko: Thank you. I will try to hurry. Please tell me first, are you a full-time or part-time student? Kitty: I’m just taking classes part time.

Reiko: Your are part-time. So, you are working now?

Kitty: Working now? No, I’m a student. A part-time student.

Reiko: Yes. Sorry. I mean do you have a job?

Kitty: Uh huh. I’m a receptionist at a downtown law firm.

Reiko: I see. What is your major? Are you studying law?

Kitty: Oh, no. I don’t want to be a lawyer. I’m working on a certificate in retail floristry.

Reiko: Retail floristry?

Kitty: No, it’s pronounced retail floristry.

Reiko: Thank you. Floristry is flowers, right?

Kitty: Yes.

Reiko: And, you are getting a certificate, not a degree. How long does it take to get this certificate? Kitty: The program takes about a year for most people, but at the rate I’m going, it will probably take me three.

Reiko: Ah. Question four: What attracted you to this field?

Kitty: Well, I’ve always really enjoyed working with flowers and having gardens, so I started taking some courses because someday I’d like to open my own flower ship. UFS has a really good reputation f or its retail floristry department. That’s why I decided to start taking classes here. I’m sorry; was I speaking too quickly? Did my answers make sense?

Reiko: Oh, yes, thank you. Now, I want to know have you ever worked at a job that is related to this major?

Kitty: No. I’ve just always had a green thumb and loved working with plants and flowers.

Reiko: And, could you tell me what kinds of jobs are possible for someone with a major in retail floristry?

Kitty: Well, in the beginning, you could work as a salesperson in a flower shop or a designer depending on your skill level.

Reiko: I’m sorry; could you explain what you mean by designer?

Kitty: That’s someone who designs and arranges flowers. Flower arranging is practically an art form, especially in some Asian countries like Japan. Do you know what I mean?

Reiko: Yes. I think you are talking about Ikebana.

Kitty: Right! Ike-Ike

Reiko: Ikebana.

Kitty: Yes. You might also be able to get a job in a nursery, where you’d grow large numbers of plants from seedlings, maybe develop new and stronger species, and, of course, help gardeners with their everyday needs and problems.

Reiko: That sounds very interesting. Do you like the program in retail floristry here at UFS? Kitty: Oh, yes, so far, I like it very much.

Reiko: Are the classes difficult?

Kitty: No, not really. I’m just taking two classes this semester, and I’m acing both of them. Reiko: You are lucky. My classes are difficult.

Kitty: Well, it’s easier for me. You see, I already have a degree, so I’m used to the amount of work. It’s not like I’m starting college for the first time.

Reiko: I understand. Please tell me, what do you think are some of the most helpful courses in your program?

Kitty: Definitely the design classes because that’s really what this maj or is all about. Also, the identification courses, where you can learn the names of the plants and flowers. That is really crucial if you are going to work in a ship or work with flowers.

Reiko: Yes, it would be. For my next question, please tell me what kind of related subjects would help somebody studying retail floristry?

Kitty: There are other courses in the horticulture department which would be beneficial, such as landscape design or nursery operation. Also, maybe courses in art, art history, or even architectural design would help. If you’re trying to create an artistic floral arrangement to go in a particular room or with a particular painting, it would probably be useful to have some knowledge of art and architecture.

Reiko: That is very interesting. Now, what is the best part of the UFS program in retail floristry? Kitty: I think the practical experience you get working with the flowers is the best part of the program. Part of the time is lecture, but you also spend three hours designing arrangements and critiquing them with your classmates. It’s really important to have time to work with the flowers and then critique you arrangement and get feedback from the instructor and from everybody else in the class. The practical experience is really wonderful.

Reiko: And, what about the worst part? What would you say is the worst part of the program?

Kitty: I guess I’d have to say it’s the memorization. A lot of the work involved with plant and flower identification is just strict memorization. You have to constantly practice the botanical names, saying them and learning what they mean so that you’ll know them by the end of the course. There are really so many difficult Latin names. It’s not something you can just study right before a test.

Reiko: Yes, that sounds hard.

Kitty: What am I saying? You know how hard it is to learn new vocabulary words!

Reiko: Yes, but Latin is so difficult! I have one more question: Do you think your major is one that a foreign student would be able to handle?

Kitty: Yes, I think so. I do know, however, that some of the foreign students in my classes have been having trouble following the instructor because of the language difficulties. But, if they got some help from English-speaking classmates, or, perhaps if the instructor had some assistants available to help them, I think they could do it. I’m not saying they would breeze through the class, but, with hard work and help, I’m sure they’d be successful.

Reiko: That’s good to know. Well, those are my questions. Thank you very much for helping me with my project.

Kitty: Oh, sure. It was my pleasure. I hope I was able to give you enough information.

Reiko: Yes, thank you. I’m sure my teacher will give me an A plus!

PART THREE EXPANSION: RULES FOR GOOD INTERVIEW

Exercise 3

1. Ben: What are the minimum qualifications to get a job as a middle-school teacher? Chuck: Well, of course, you need a bachelor’s degree.

Ben: Would that be a bachelor’s degree in education?

Chu ck: No, it can be in any subject, but you can’t teach with just a bachelor’s degree. You also need a teaching credential which requires about one year beyond your bachelor’s. For example, my degree was in math, I then needed certification as a math teacher. Uh … Is this making sense to you?

Ben: Ho, uh … Yeah, of course.

Chuck: Oh, that’s good. I wasn’t really sure.

Ben: Now, let me ask you about you work hours …

2. Marvin: ‘Scuse me. You. Yeah, you. Can you come here for a minute?

Mary: Uh … me?

Marvin: Yeah, you. I need to ask you a few questions.

Mary: Uh, sorry. No, I don’t think so.

Marvin: I just need to ask you a couple of questions. Please! I’ll flunk my class if you don’t help me.

Mary: Well … All right. What’s this about?

Marvin: Nice weather today, huh?

Mary: I guess so …

Marvin: Could you tell me what you do for a living?

Mary: Why do you want to know?

Marvin: I told you. It’s for my class project.

Mary: Oh, well … I’m an accountant.

3. Phyllis: Let me begin the interview. What is the salary range for someone in your line of work?

Joe: Anywhere from $42, 000 to $75,000, not including benefits.

Phyllis: Uh huh. And, what is your occupation?

Joe: I’m a software developer.

Phyllis: That sounds interesting. Boy, it’s really windy today, don’t you think?

Joe: Uh, yeah …

Phyllis: O.K. And does your job offer good benefits?

Joe: Our health plan is very comprehensive, but the dental portion is a little weak.

Phyllis: And, what are the educational requirements for a software developer?

Joe: It really depends on the company and the area in which you are working.

Phyllis: I imagine you need at least a bachelor’s degree?

Joe: Yes, and many people now have master’s degrees in computer science.

4. Alice: Uh ..l um …. O.K. Let’s see. Ah … oh, yeah. Here we go. Wasn’t the baseball game exciting last night?

Ben: Actually, I believe it was cancelled due to the rain.

Alice: Huh? Oh … O.K. The, um … What’s your occ..occ…occu…occupation?

Ben: Sorry? My what?

Alice: Your occu…occ…occupa…Your job?

Ben: Oh. Occupation. I’m a carpenter.

Alice: Car … pen … ter. O.K. Um … Um … Let’s see … Uh, what are the qualifications for this job?

Ben: Most people apprentice with someone for at least one year before they feel prepared to work on their own. Of course, I’m just talking about non-union work. There are a lot of differences between the two types of jobs.

Alice: Oh, so some are union workers and some are not. Which are you?

Ben: I’m lucky. I was able to join a union two years ago.

Alice: Well, good for you. Now … um … Let’s see. Uh … Oh boy …

Ben: Uh … How long is this interview going to take? I’m kind of in a hurry.

5. Tina: How are you doing today?

Lynne: Fine thanks.

Tina: Could you please tell me what you do for a living?

Lynne: I’m a dental hygienist.

Tina: What sort of training or education do you need for that job?

Lynne: You need an associate’s degree with a certificate in dental hygiene.

Tina: What is the salary range for a dental hygienist?

Lynne: It really depends on where you work.

Tina: Please tell me about the benefits.

Lynne: I have full coverage, but some of the other hygienists in my office don’t.

Tina: What do you like the best about your job?

Lynne: I’d have to say it’s the challenge of cajoling patients to become motivated to actively partic ipate in their daily oral hygiene regimen. It’s really crucial that people understand the

long-term and potentially fatal risks involved in not following the prescribed procedures.

Tina: What do you like the least about the job?

Lynne: I think the hours could be better.

Tina: Thank you very much for your help.

Lesson 5(1)

PART TWO MAIN DIALOGUE

Exercise 1

Reporter: And now we’ll switch to highlights of last night’s debate between the city’s two candidates for mayor, Bella Porter and Dan Shmankie. The debate lasted more than an hour and was at times rather loud and contentious. The crowd interrupted the speakers several times showing their strong disagreement.

Here’s what the candidates had to say on some of the issues. The first point that was hotly debated was in response to a question regarding the current homelessness problem in our city. Bella Porter, who has been active in city politics for over a decade and is currently serving as president of the city council, answered the question first.

B.Porter: I feel that Mr. Shmankie’s solution to the homeless problem is to sweep it under the rug. Mr. Shma nkie believes that putting the homeless in jail will solve the problem. If we don’t’ see homeless people sleeping on our streets, the problems doesn’t exist, right? Wrong!

Mr. Shmankie appears to be more concerned with the comfort of tourists and visitors to our city than with actually helping some of our poorest and neediest citizens. A night in jail will not help a homeless person get his or her life back together. We need to provide real job training for these people in addition to affordable housing and medical services.

Reporter: Dan Shmankie, a local businessman for over twenty years, then gave his response to the homeless question.

D. Shmankie: As usual, Councilwoman Porter’s solu tion to any problem is to throw money at it. The people we see on the streets are for the most part lazy drunks or drug addicts who don’t want to get a job and contribute to society. We hear stories every day from good hard-working citizens who are constantly harassed by panhandlers who come up to them and demand spare change. People have been attacked in front of stores and waiting in their cars at stop lights. Store owners are losing business because dirty, scary-looking people are sitting with their shopping carts and sleeping bags in front of their stores. We need to feel safe on our streets again. These people don’t need programs. They need a kick in the pants!

Reporter: The two candidates also had very different opinions concerning education. Shmankie: Once again. Ms. Porter seems to believe that money will fix all problems. Our schools do not need more money. They need teachers who can get the job done. In the last five years we have seen student test scores plummet and I blame the teachers.

Now hear me out. Some of my best friends are teachers. I certainly know of many

hard-working and dedicated teachers who deserve our respect. But we need to think about education more like a business. If you are the president of a company that builds cars and half of these cars have serious problems, would you give your workers higher salaries and better benefits? Of course not. What we need to do is to make sure that our teachers receive raises if and only if their students get higher test scores. And for those teachers who fail to get results, we need to replace them with teachers who can get the job done.

Porter: Here’s a news flash for you Mr. Shmankie. Education is not a business. We are not cranking out cars on an assembly line; five per hour, one blue, one red, one green—each one exactly the same as the last. Education is a completely different process. WE are preparing our young people to become productive citizens capable of making intelligent choices in life. Each student we serve has different needs. Our teachers are doing the best they can with overcrowded classrooms, limited resources, and little community support. Do you realize that most teachers cannot afford to live in this city because their salaries are so low? I hear stories every day about teachers who spend their own money on supplies such as chalk and paper because the school district does not have the funds to supply these basic needs. Our biggest problem is that we lose many of our finest teachers each year because of the poor working conditions and low salaries. Mr. Shmankie, we don’t’ need to fire more teachers. We need to raise salaries so that we can find the best and brightest people.

Reporter: The next topic covered was the issue of affordable housing.

Skmankie: Last time I checked we were living in a free country. In a free country, buyers and sellers have choices. If a buyer does not agree with the price, he or she can go to a different store. Even if the price is ridiculously high, the government does not step in and demand that the seller lower his or her price. Why, then, do people such as Mr. Porter insist that city government try to control how much landlords charge for rents? Rent control is downright un-American!

Porter: Mr. Shmankie, with all due respect, have you lost your mind? Are you saying that anyone who advocates rent control or supports other laws that protect people is a bad American? Give me a break! Are you aware that in the last three years 56 percent of the poor and elderly in this city have been forced to le ave their apartments because they couldn’t afford to keep up with skyrocketing rent increases? In many cases, this has contributed to the very serious homeless problem we just discussed. We need rent control in this town to protect everybody’s right to

aff ordable housing. What’s un-American about that, Mr. Shmankie?

Reporter: You have been listening to highlights of last night’s mayoral debate. Be sure to tune in next week at this same time when the candidates will discuss other important issues. Thank you and good night.

From here to Glen Park it’s only a dollar ten, but if you go as far as Fremont, it costs a lot more. Tom: We’re going to Berkeley. Do you know what the fare is? Stranger: There are two stations in Berkeley. Which one are you interested in? Denise: Oh, gee, I’m not sure. We’re from out of town. We’re visiting my sister. She told me her house is just a stone’s throw from the UC Berkeley campus. Which station is that? Stranger: The downtown Berkeley station is really close to the university. I’m sure that’s the one you want. Denise: Tom, are you going to remember this, or should I be jotting this down? Tom: What is there to write down, Denise? The woman is giving us very simple directions. So, how much is the fare to downtown Berkeley? Stranger: Let’s go take a look at the map over there. Y ou see, the map shows you how much it costs to go from one station to another. Ah, there it is: two dollars and sixty-five cents. Tom: Two sixty-five?

Unit One 核心员工的特征 大卫·G．詹森1核心员工究竟是什么样子的?几乎每次进行调查时，我都会从雇主们那里听到“核心员工”这个名词。我请一位客户——一位正参与研究的人事部经理，给我解释一下。“每家公司都有少数几个这样的员工，在某个专业领域，你可以指望他们把活儿干好。 在我的小组中，有七名化工流程工程师和生物学家，其中有那么两三个人是我赖以生存的，”他说，“他们对我的公司而言不可或缺。当请你们公司替我们招募新人的时候，我们期待你们会去其他公司找这样的人：其他公司经理不想失去的员工。我们只招募核心员工。” 2这是一段充满了鼓动性的谈话，目的是把猎头们派往竞争对手的公司去游说经验丰富的员工们做一次职业变更。他们想从另一家公司招募核心员工。然而，每家公司也从新人中招人。他们要寻找的是完全一样的东西。“我们把他们和公司顶级员工表现出的特质进行对照。假如他们看起来有同样特征的话，我们就在他们身上赌一把。”只是这样有点儿冒险。 3“这是一种有根据的猜测，”我的人事经理客户说。作为未来的一名员工，你的工作是帮助人事部经理降低这种风险，你需要帮助他们认定你有潜力成为一名核心员工。 4特征1：无私的合作者 职业顾问和化学家约翰·费策尔最早提出了这个特征。关于这个特征，人们已经写了大量的文章。它之所以值得被反复谈及，是因为这一特征是学术界和企业间最明显的差别。“这里需要合作，”费策尔说，“企业的环境并不需要单打独斗，争强好胜，所以表现出合作和无私精神的员工就脱颖而出了。在企业环境中，没有这样的思维方式就不可能成功。” 5许多博士后和研究生在进行这种过渡的过程中表现得相当费力。因为生命中有那么长一段时间他们都在扮演一个独立研究者的角色，并且要表现得比其他年轻的优秀人才更出色。你可以藉此提高在公司的吸引力：为追求一个共同的目标和来自其他实验室和学科的科学家们合作——并且为你的个人履历上的内容提供事迹证明。这个方法，加上你在描述业绩时开明地使用代词“我们”，而不是“我”，能使公司对你的看法从“单干户”转变成“合作者”。更为有利的是，要在你实验室内部，以及在和你们实验室合作的人们之间，培养一个良好声誉：一个鼓励并发动合作的人——还要保证让那些会接听调查电话的人们谈及你的这个品质。 6特征2：紧迫感 唐-豪特是一位给aaas.sciencecareers@org网站论坛频繁写稿的撰稿人。他之前是一名科学家。许多年前他转向了企业，并一直做到高级管理的职位。他在3M 公司一个部门负责策略和商业开发工作，这个部门每年上缴的税收高达24亿多美元。他就是一个重视紧迫感的人。 7“一年365天，一周7天，一天24小时，生意始终在进行，那意味着一年365天，一周7天，一天24小时，竞争也同样在进行，”豪特说，“公司取胜的方法之一就是要更快地到达‘目的地’。这就是说，你不仅要把所有能支持公司快速运转的功能都调动起来，而且还得知道如何决定‘目的地’是哪里。这样，不仅对那些行动快速的人们，也对那些思维敏捷，并有勇气按自己的想法行事的人们都提出了要求。这需要全公司各部门的运作，而不仅仅是管理部门的工作。” 8特征3：风险容忍度 企业要求员工能承受风险。“一名求职者需要表现出仅凭不准确、不完整的信息就做出决策的能力。他或她必须能接纳不确定因素并冒着风险做出结论，”一位客户在职业描述中写道。 9豪特赞同这一说法。“商业成功通常有这样一个特质：那就是能接受不确定因素和风险——个人的，组织上的和财务上的。这就让许多科学家感到不适应，因为学术上的成功其实是依靠认真而严谨的研究。更进一步说，伟大的科学常常是由找寻答案的过程和答案本身两者同时来定义的。因此科学家们往往沉迷于过程。在企业里，你需要了解过程，但最终你会迷上答案，然后根据你认为该答案对你的企业所具有的意义来冒风险。像这样敢冒风险是一套技能组合，是所有雇主在他们最好的员工身上所寻找的东西。” 10风险容忍度的另外一个要点是求职者对失败的承受度。失败很重要，因为这表示你不怕冒险。所以各家公司总会寻找有可能犯错误并敢于承认错误的求职者。大家都知道如何谈论成功——或者当他们在寻找工作的时候应该知道。但很少有人乐意谈论失败，更少有人知道如何从失败的边缘吸取教训和获得经验。“对我的企业来说，求职者需要坦然地谈论他或她的失败，而且他或她需要有真正的失败经历，而不是特意为面试而杜撰的东西。如果做不到的话，那么这个人冒的风险还不够，”豪特说。 11特征4：善于处理人际关系 瑞克·李奇在迪科德遗传工程公司从事业务拓展。李奇最近才转行到企业，做业务方面的工作。我向他咨询这个重要特征，是因为在他的新业务角色中，人际沟通能力在成功和失败之间发挥着很大的作用。“科学家毕生都在积累知识，培养技术上的敏锐感，”他说，“但为企业工作需要完全不同的东西——人际交往的能力。想转行到企业界的科学家们必须优先考虑他们的社会关系资源而不是技术资源。对一个以前一直根据专业知识水平被评价的人来说，突然之间要根据他的人际交往能力来评价他，真是十分令人恐惧。” 1

U1 Free Falling 1.What is the main subject introduced in paragraph one? It is the description of the effect of saying farewell to his parents, friends and folks on the author. 2.How is the story organized? The story is chronologically organized (following the time sequence in which the event unfolded itself). 3.How did Weckerly feel before the day of his departure? He felt eager and excited to wait for the day to come. 4.How did his mood change when the day had really come? At the very beginning he became sentimental about saying good-bye to many people around him. Facing the reality of becoming independent, he began to feel afraid and uncertain . 5.What do you think about the ending of the story? It is very impressive. Weckerly ends the story with a metaphor which catches the essence of the particular moment accurately. He compares himself to a rookie skydiver preparing for his first plunge, which leads to possible outcomes: sheer excitement or eventual death. The last sentence "He closes his eyes, takes a deep breath, and jumps" symbolizes the fact that from that day on the author jumps into the future of being independent no matter how long and complicated the road to it is. U6 The myth of the paperless office 1. What are the disadvantages of paper according to the author? Paper takes up precious space, can be in only one place at a time, is extremely hard to index or search through, and lacks all the interactivity and linking ability of hypertext. 2. What are the major categories of files in an office? In the office, files can be mainly classified into hot files, documents to be acted on immediately; warm files, still active but of less urgency and cold files, docements that don’t need immediate attention. 3. Why is it unpleasant to read something on a computer screen? Because there are such annoyances as the relatively fuzzy type, glare, the need to scroll
