To Whom it May Concern:

Janet Doe has worked for me as a Resident Manager for the past 3 years. Her responsibilities have included leasing, inspecting apartments, hiring maintenance staff, taking tenants complaints, making sure common areas look presentable, and keeping track of the property budget.

During her time here she has had an amazing impact on the appearance and financial turn around at the property. The property was near bankrupt when Janet took over. She turned things around almost immediately, and as a result we are expecting our second year of profit.

Janet is highly respected by her co-workers for her willingness to help anyone anytime she can. She has been instrumental in helping institute new company-wide cost saving procedures. She is very well organized, diligent in her paperwork, easily reachable, and always on time.

Janet has real leadership potential. I would highly recommend her for your MBA program.

Sincerely,

Joe Smith

听力原文：M: Hi, Janet, going to the football game today？

W: No. I'm planning to watch it on television.

M: Why is that？ Don't you have enough money to last till the end of the month？

W: Money's not the problem, I find it easier to follow football on television than in the stadium. When I see the game in person, I feel as if I'm too far away from the action. And I always lose track of the ball.

M: I know just what you mean. Besides, on television the new cameras they use give you super views of all the plays. But there's always so much excitement. People are cheering and shouting when you're there in person. People are very enthusiastic, and I end up cheering along with everyone.

W: You're right there. But I'd like to know exactly what I'm screaming for. And if I can't even see who has the ball, I can't get very excited. So I really prefer watching it on television.

M: I see your point. Well, enjoy the game.

W: You, too.

rst time since 1947 to the U. N. Human Rights Commission is that it as America’ friends, not its enemies, that engineered the defeat. After all, China and Cuba and other targets of U.S.-led criticism in the committee were always going to vote and lobby against Washington; the shock came in the fact that the European and other Western nations that traditionally ensured U.S. Re-election turned their backs on Washington.

Many traditional U.S. supporters clearly withdrew their vote to signal displeasure over U.S. unilateralism. They have been increasingly chagrined by Washington’s tendency to ignore the international consensus on issue ranging from the use of land mines to the Kyoto climate change treaty. They are also critical of what they see ass Washington’s tendency to publicise the issue of human rights, using annual resolutions at the committee to denounce China or Cuba hen that conforms to U.S. foreign policy objectives but for the same reason voting alone in defence of Israel when that country is in the dock over its conduct.

SECTION B INTERVIEW

Directions: In this section you will hear everything ONCE ONLY. Listen carefully and then answer the questions that follow. Questions 1 to 5 are based on an interview. At the end of the interview you will be given 10 seconds to answer each of the following five questions.

Now listen to the interview.

听力原文：Interviewer: I'm talking to Janet Holmes who has spent many years negotiating for several well-known national and multinational companies. Hello, Janet.

Janet: Hello.

Interviewer: Now Janet, you've experienced and observed the negotiation strategies used by people from different countries and speakers of different languages. So, before we come on to the differences, could I ask you to comment first of all on what such encounters have in common？

Janet: OK, well, I'm just going to focus on the situations where people speak English in international business situations.

Interviewer: I see. Now not everyone speaks English to the same degree of proficiency. So maybe that affects the situation.'？

Janet: Yes, perhaps. But that's not always so significant Well, because, I mean, negotiations between business partners from different countries normally mean that we have negotiations between individuals who belong to distinct cultural traditions.

Interviewer: Oh, I see.

Janet: Well, every individual has a different way of performing various tasks in everyday life.

Interviewer: Yes, but, but isn't it the case that in a business negotiation they must come together and work together, to a certain extent？ I mean, doesn't that level out the style. of the style. of differences somewhat？

Janet: Oh, I'm not so sure. I mean, there are people in the so called Western World who say that in the course of the past 30 or 40 years that a lot of things have changed a great deal globally. And that as a consequence national differences have diminished or have got fewer, giving way to some sort of international Americanized style.

Interviewer: Yeah, I've heard that. Now some people say that 'this Americanized style. has acted as a model for local pat terns.

Janet: Maybe it has, maybe it hasn't. Because, on the one. hand, there does appear to be a fairly unified, even uniform. style. of doing business, with certain basic principles and preferences—you know, like 'time is money' , that sort of thing. But at the same time it's very important to remember that we all retain aspects of our national characteristics—but it is actually behavior. that we're talking about here. We shouldn't be too quick to generalize that to national characteristics and stereotypes. It doesn't help much.

Interviewer: Yeah, you mentioned Americanized style. What is particular about the American style. of business bargaining or negotiating.'？

Janet: Well, I've noticed that, for example, when Americans negotiate with people from Brazil, the American negotiators make their points in a direct self-explanatory way.

Interviewer: I see.

Janet: While the Brazilians make their points in a more indirect way.

Interviewer: How'？

Janet: Let me give you an example. Brazilian importers look the people they're talking to straight in the eyes a lot. They spend time on what for some people seems to be back ground information. They seem to be more indirect.

Interviewer: Then, what about the American negotiators？

Janet: An American style. of negotiating, on the other hand, is far more like that of pointmaking: first point, second point, third point, and so on. Now of course, this isn't the only way in which one can negotiate. And there's absolutely no reason why this should be considered the best way to negotiate.

Interviewer: Right. Americans seem to have a different style, say, even from the British, don't they？

Janet: Exactly. Which just shows how careful you must be about generalizing. I mean, how else can you explain how American negotiators are seen as informal and sometimes much too

A．English language proficiency

B．different cultural practices

C．different negotiation tasks

D．the international Americanized style

thinks of nursing as a career. Janet, why did you become a nurse？

B: I think I always wanted to be a nurse. I wanted to work with people and help them. I didn't want to work in an office all day. And I liked the fact that nursing is a very important job.

A: What qualities should a nurse have？

B: First, nurses must be clever, and also practical. They should be able to think for themselves. But they must be able to work well in a team. But I think the most important quality is to be able to laugh at things, and not get too worried.

A: What kind of training have you had？

B: Well, my training bad three parts: they were Nursing, The Patient and Illnesses. The course was a mixture of theory and practice. We had one week of theory, followed by eight weeks of practice in a hospital. We mainly learned through practice. And it's hard work doing all that studying!

A: Well, now, what don't you like about your job？

B: Well, first, it's very hard work. We work 37. 5 hours a week. But we often have to do extra work, because there aren't enough nurses in the hospital The next problem is night duty. Working all night is very tiring and difficult. It's also difficult to change from sleeping at night to sleeping during the day. The third problem, of course, is that you get very low pay for the hard work. Oh, finally, it's very hard during your training because you have to study when you are tired.

Why did Janet want to be a nurse？

A．Nurses are highly respected by people.

B．Nurses have good salaries.

C．Nursing is very important.

D．Her parents asked her to be a nurse.
