FedEx used to provide mainly water and air delivery, but now it’s making a big push into the ground delivery business.

Part 4 More about the topic
Summary:
One of the most fundamental steps toward a successful business is the business plan. It doesn’t matter whether your company is a large one or a small one. What does matter is having a business plan to make the idea a reality. A plan is essential for any business. It is like a map for your business as to where you’re going to go. And a business plan is the very best way to get started because when you do a business plan you go from “A” to “Z” in figuring out every aspect: how much money you need; how many people you’ll need; whether you’ll need people. It gives you a way of prediction where the business may go so you can position yourself to respond intelligently and use the least amount of money. So a business plan is even more critical for those budding entrepreneurs that don’t have much money, for it can help to use the limited resources in the very best way.

Unit 7 Fame and Fortune
Part ⅠGetting ready
B Listen to a recording about the life of Bill Gates. Fill in the blanks while listening.
In the past few years, hundreds of magazine and newspaper stories have been written about Bill Gates and his company, the reason the Microsoft Company is extremely successful. It has made Bill Gate one of the richest men in the world. William Gates the 3rd was born in 1955, in a western city of Seattle, Washington. He became interested in computers when he was 13 years old. When most young boys his age were playing baseball or football, young Bill Gates was learning to write computer programs. These programs tell computers how to perform useful tasks. Bill Gate attended Harvard University after high school. At Harvard, he began developing the computer language called Basic. He began to think that the computer would someday become a valuable tool that could be used in every office and home. Bill Gate returned to Seattle where he established the Microsoft Company in 1975. It employed only three workers. Microsoft developed computer software for established American companies, like General Electric and Citibank. Soon Microsoft was working with the International Business Machines Company known as IBM. In 1981,IBM began selling a personal computer that used Microsoft products as part of its operating system. By then, Microsoft had 129 workers. Today IBM still uses Microsoft's computer operating system. So do many other computer companies. One of the most famous Microsoft products is a program called Windows. Windows makes it much easier to use a computer. Company officials say Microsoft has sold about 40 000 000 copies of the Windows program around the world. Microsoft does thousands of millions of dollars in business each year. It now has more than 16 000 workers in more than 48 countries. Microsoft today produces computer programs in 30 languages and sells them in more than 100 countries.
B Listen to a recording about the life of Bill Gates. Fill in the blanks while listening.
Part ⅡBill Gates' new rules
A You are going to hear an excerpt of Bill Gate's new book Using a Digital Nervous System. Note down the key words in the notes column. Then match column A with column B.
If the 1980s were about quality and the 1990s were about re-engineering, then the 2000s will be about velocity. About how quickly business itself will be transacted. About how information access will alter the life-style of
consumers and their expectations of business. Quality improvements and business-process improvements will occur far faster. When the increase in velocity is great enough, the very nature of business changes.
To function in the digital age, we have developed a new digital infrastructure. It's like the human nervous system. Companies need to have that same kind of nervous system —the ability to run smoothly and efficiently, to respond quickly to emergencies and opportunities to quickly get valuable information to the people in the company who need it, the ability to quickly make decisions and interact with customers.
The successful companies of the next decade will be the ones that use digital tools to reinvent the way they work. To make digital information flow an intrinsic part of your company, here are 12 key steps.
1. Insist that communication flow through e-mail.
2. Study sales data online to share insights easily.
3. Shift knowledge workers into high-level thinking.
4. Use digital tools to create virtual teams.
5. Convert every paper process to a digital process.
6. Use digital tools to eliminate single-task jobs.
7. Create a digital feedback loop.
8. Use digital systems to route customer complaints immediately.
9. Use digital communication to redefine the boundaries.
10. Transform every business process into just-in-time delivery.
11. Use digital delivery to eliminate the middle man.
12. Use digital tools to help customers solve problems for themselves.
As I said in The Road Ahead, we always overestimate the change that will occur in the next two years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next 10. Don't let yourself be lulled into inaction.
You know you have built an excellent digital nervous system when information flows through your organization as quickly and naturally as thought in a human being and when you can use technology to marshal and coordinate teams of people as quickly as you can focus an individual on an issue. It's business at the speed of thought.
B Listen again, complete the 12 rules for the digital age.
Part ⅢGreat business deals?
A Listen to the recording. You'll hear about two businessmen and some of the deals they made. Note down the key words in the notes column. Then fill the gaps in the following chart with information given in the recordings.
1.In the … er … late 1920s, early 1930s, there was a … a young Greek businessman who … er … made quite a lot of money … er … by importing tobacco into Argentina. Um … he then moved up to North America … er …
this was in about … er … 1933, when of course the world was in the middle of a … a trade slump. Er … he … er … decided he wanted to get into shipping, and to get into shipping he needed ships so he … he started looking around for some ships to buy with his tobacco fortune and he found ten vessels … er … which b elonged to the Canadian National Steamship Company … er … the problem being that they were frozen into the ice in the St Lawrence River in Canada. They'd been rusting away there for two years and were now completely filled up with snow and ice. Er … in fact the story goes that when he went aboard to … er … inspect one of the ships, he fell into a snowdrift and … er … ended up on the deck below. Well, the ships had cost $2 million to build … er … about ten years before, and the owners were prepared to let th em go just for a … a scrap price of … er … $30 000 each. He offered $20,000 and the owners accepted.
He left them there, stuck in the ice, there was nothing more he could do. Er … but a few years later, the … the world depression … er … came to an end and… er … world war seemed to be looming in Europe and, of course, that led in its turn to a … bit of a shipping boom. So the young man, there he was with his ships and … er … he became one of the richest men in the world. Hi s name was … Aristotle Onassis.
2. Once upon a time there was an enterprising Scottish actor, called Arthur Furguson, who discovered that he could make a very good living selling things that didn't actually belong to him, in other words he was a con man. He first got the idea when he was sitting in the middle of Trafalgar Square (in London that is). Um … this was in 1923, and he saw an American tourist admiring the stone lions and the fountains and Nelson's Column. He introduced himself as the "official guide" to the Square and started to explain the history of the place. And while he was doing this he also slipped in a little mention that as Britain was heavily in debt, the British government was looking for the right kind of person to buy the Square. He said that he was the official government salesman and that the asking price was around ￡6 000. The American said that this was a good price and offered to pay by cheque right away, so Mr. Furguson went off to okay this with his superiors — in other words he went off for an hour and a half and kept the American waiting. Well, he then came back and said, yes, they were willing to sell to the American at that price. The American wrote a check and Furguson gave him a receipt and the address of a company who would dismantle the Square and get it ready for shipping it to the States. Then he went off to cash the check.
Soon after that he sold Big Ben for ￡1 000 and took a down payment on Buckingham Palace of ￡2 000. Two years later he went to the United States and leased the White House to a Texas cattleman for 99 years for $100 000 per annum. Later he arranged to sell the Statue of Liberty to an Australian for $100 000, but unfortunately Furguson allowed the buyer to take a photograph of him and the Australian, feeling slightly suspicious, showed the photograph to the police. Furguson was identified and sent to prison for fraud for five years. When he came out he retired to California, where he lived in luxury until he died in 1938.
B Listen again, and then work out the outcome of the two persons by filling in the gaps.
part ⅣMore about the topic: Walt Disney
You are going to hear part of a broadcast about the life of Walt Disney. Complete the unfinished sentences below. Presenter: Walt Disney is well known as the creator of Mickey Mouse and the inventor of Disneyland and Walt Disney World, but his creations are better known than his life. Peter Spencer is the author of a new book about Disney. What was Walt Disney's background?
Peter: Walter Elias Disney was born in 1901 in Chicago but actually he was brought up in a small town in the Mid-West near Kansas City, Missouri, which incidentally was later used as the model for Main Street U.S.A. in Disneyland. Um ... he first studies cartooning, you know, by doing a correspondence course. During the First World War he worked as a … a driver for the American Red Cross but after the war he returned to Kansas City where he met a guy called Ub Iwerks. Now they … er … started to work together on a series of experimental-type films ... um … and after a while they set off to California to join Walt's elder brother Roy who was living there in Los Angeles.
Presenter: When did Mickey Mouse first appear?
Peter: Ah, well, Disney and Iwerks first invented a character called Oswald the Rabbit but then in 1928 a new character was born: cheerful, sometimes rather naughty, energetic mouse with large funny ears. Yes, it was Mickey and he appeared for the first time in the first talking cartoon film, called Steamboat Willie. Er … not many people know this but Walt Disney actually provided the voice for Mickey. By the way, he was almost called "Mortimer Mouse", which doesn't have the same kind of ring to it, or does it? Well, Roy and Walt gathered a team of artists … er … illustrators together … um … by this time Ub Iwerks had left them and started his ow n company, this was in 1930, and Disney Studios, as they called themselves, starting … started to produce the famous short cartoons with … starring Mickey and Minnie and Donald Duck and Pluto and Goofy. Er … Roy was the business manager and driving force b ehind the company … er … making it very profitable and Walt was more the … er … imaginative, creative part of the partnership.
Presenter: What kind of man was Walt Disney?
Peter: Well, according to the artists who worked for him Walt actually couldn't dra w very well … er … most of the characters were actually drawn by Iwerks, but apparently he was an amazing storyteller. He would act out the stories of films doing all the voices and actions to show the illustrators what he wanted them to do and then they had to go off and try to recreate his visualizations.
Presenter: The most famous cartoon of all was Snow White — and the best I still think.
Peter: Mm, yeah, it was the first feature-length cartoon and it was released in … er … 1935. Now, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs required two million drawings and took three years' work to make. Um … obviously it was … er … very expensive, particularly f or those times. By the way, the British film censor gave it an Adult certificate because he thought that it would be too frightening for little children to see on their own. Er … that was followed by Pinocchio and Fantasia in 1940, Dumbo in 1941. And … er … the Disney Studios also started making … um … some rather low-budget live action feature films for children … er … something which the other studios didn't dare risk doing. Er … some of his films mixed live action with cartoons —er … I'm thinking
about Mary Poppins, which I think we've probably all seen, made in 1964, where cartoon characters and … and the real life actors appeared together on screen and talked and danced and sang together. Disney was one of the first to see the potential of television, all the other studios were afraid of this medium. Um … so he started to produce films directly for television and … and now of course there's a Disney Cha nnel showing only Disney films.
Presenter: And then he dreamt up Disneyland, didn't he?
Peter: Ah, "dreamt" is the right word. Disneyland was a creation of the land of his dreams: safe, happy, clean, fairy-tale world with its own Magic Kingdom. The original Disneyland was opened in Los Angeles in 1955 and it cost $17 million. Walt died in 1966 but he was already working on plans for the Disney World in Orlando, Florida, which opened in 1971, and the EPCOT Center near Walt Disney World —that's the "Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow", by the way. And there's also a … a Tokyo Disneyland, which was opened in … um … 1983.
Presenter: And … and now there's even an Euro Disneyland near Paris, I think.
Peter: Yes, that's right. Um … and the Disney Studios still continue to produce films in the … the house style, the Walt Disney style and presumably it a lways will. Disney's films appealed … um … and still do appeal to children of all ages, but people often criticize them for their lack of taste and they say they're vulgar, but Disney said, "I've never called this art. It's show business and I'm a showman." Well, can you imagine a world without Mickey Mouse?
Presenter: Peter Spencer, thank you.
Part ⅤDo you know ...?
Listen to the recording. You'll hear about the three best real estate deals in the history of America. Find the answers to the following questions.
1. The best real estate deal in history
Even in the days when America was known as the New World, it was a country with a reputation for its spirit of enterprise and the ability of its people to make a good deal.
When the settlers started negotiating, the natives hardly knew what had hit them — and in the summer of 1626, probably the most spectacular real estate coup in history took place.
Governor Peter Minuit of the Dutch West India Company had the job of buying Manhattan Island from the Indians. After some haggling with Chief Manhasset, the price was agreed at 24 dollars' worth of kettles, axes and cloth. Today, $24 would not buy one square foot of office space in New York City, and an office block in central Manhattan changes hands for around $80 million. Even allowing for inflation, Minuit got himself a real bargain.
2. Not again, Josephine!
You would think that the Manhattan deal would remain a one-off for ever. But less than two centuries later the loser was Napoleon, Emperor of France and (in his early years, at least) a brilliant military tactician.
In 1803, Napoleon had his mind on European affairs (in particular, an invasion of Britain), so he decided to dispense with France's American possessions.
He sold the entire Mississippi valley, an area of 828 000 square miles extending from Canada down to the Gulf of Mexico and westwards to the Rockies, for just over 27 million dollars.
Through this deal, known as the Louisiana purchase, President Thomas Jefferson doubled the size of the United States for only around 5 cents per acre.
3. Nice ice at a reasonable price
Napoleon did just manage to reach Moscow in his ill-fated invasion of 1812 — but it would seem that news of his poor American deal did not.
For, astonishingly, the Russians went on to become the third victims of major land deals with America.
On March 30th 1867, the U.S. Secretary of State, William Seward, bought Alaska from Tsar Alexander II for a mere $7.2 million — thereby acquiring another 586 000 square miles of territory for less than 2 cents per acre. The Tsar presumably thought that this remote, frozen and virtually uninhabited piece of land had nothing at all to commend it — and at first, the American people agreed with him, for Alaska was known as "Seward's folly" and "Seward's ice box" for years.
In 1896, however, gold was struck at Klondike in the Yukon, and since then, over 750 million dollars' worth has been mined.
In 1968, black gold was discovered — and an estimated 100 billion tons of coal are also lying underground, just waiting to be dug up.

视听说4 听力原文及答案 Unit 1 Leisure activities Part 1 listening one Ever wish you could do magic tricks, or introduce yourself as “magician” at a party? Imagine, everybody wants to have fun, but nothings’ really happening, it’s time for you to show one of your new tricks. Here, you can learn how, and without any need for special materials or much practice. A trick with a coin, a handkerchief and a friend: Put the coin on your palm. Cover the coin with the handkerchief. Ask several people to put their hands beneath the handkerchief and feel the coin, to make sure that it is still there. Then take the corner of the handkerchief and pull it rapidly off your hand. The coin has gone! How? You must make sure the last friend who feels the coin knows the trick and removes the coin when he seems to be just feeling it. And nobody knows where it has gone! A trick with a piece of paper and a pencil: Tell your friend that you can communicate your thoughts without speaking to other people. Write on the piece of paper the word No. Don't let your friends see what you have written. Say, "Now I will communicate this word into your minds." Pretend to concentrate. Ask them if they know what is written on the paper. They will say, "No!" And you say, "Quite correct! I wrote No on the paper!" A trick with an egg and some salt: Ask your friends to stand the egg upright on the table. They won't manage to do it. Say that you can speak to the chicken inside. Say, "Chicken! Can you hear me? Get ready to balance your egg!" When you first get the egg back from your friends, pretend to kiss the egg at the base. Make the base wet. Then put the base into salt which is in your other hand. The salt will stick to the egg. Then put the egg on the table. Twist the egg around a few times as this will arrange the grains of salt. Then it will stand up. Don't forget to thank the chicken. Questions: 1.What does the magician ask people to do in the first trick 2.What happens to the coin? 3.How does the magician prove that he can communicate his thoughts to the audience in the second trick? 4.What is the first step to make the egg stand upright? 5.What else is needed to make the egg stand upright? Keys: 1. B 2. C 3. C 4. A 5. D

大学英语听力教程1答案 高中英语听力教学需要循序渐进
大学英语听力教程1答案高中英语听力教学需要循序渐进 听力是一种语言接受能力，只有多听多说，多做多练，积少成多，由易到难，循序渐进，方能逐步提高。听力教学很重要，应从学生实际出发，讲究方法技巧，循序渐进，方能水到渠。听力教学循序渐进教师学生听力在高考中占总分的1/5(江苏1/6)，听力的重要性由此可见一斑。但在实际教学中，一些教师往往对听力教学重视不够，只是利用早自习或午自习让课代表在班上放放录音带，然后对对答案，随意性较大，效果不明显，结果学生也对听力训练逐渐失去了兴趣，甚至感到厌烦。因此，如何上好听力课，解决听力教学中遇到的困难，提高学生的听力水平是我们每位英语教师应当深思的问题。某高中是一所普通的农村中学，生源较差，每年的录取线在当地最低，被戏称为“收容所”，考不取较好的高中的学生大多会选择这里，因此，不难想象该校的教学有多艰难了，做听力练习时，大多数学生就像听天书一样，云里雾里，不知所云。该校的高二〈2〉班和高二〈3〉班在刚进入高二时，是两个各方面状况基本相近的平行班。下面以两位教师在这两个班所上的听力课为例，谈一谈听力教学中存在的问题以及如何提高学生的听力水平。授课内容为牛津高中英语Module 5 Unit 2的Task板块中Skills building 1 (P32)。Guidelines 告诉学生如何根据所听信息得出结论并举两例。Part A是关于5种自然灾害的新闻报道，要求根据每个报道的描述说出灾害的名称。Part B是听一段较长的新闻报道，然后对书上的5个句子进行判断。案例1：高二〈2〉班，46人，老师首先带学生阅读guidelines 和例子，接着开始Part A ,读完要求后播放录音两遍，再让学生说出灾害名称，没有1个学生全部答对，只有10个学生答对3个，15个学生答对1个，其余学生表示根本听不懂，老师很着急，但还是很有耐心地又放了两遍录音，结果没太大改观，老师于是说出正确答案后便开始了Part B。这次，老师播放了三遍录音，每句都停顿一下，然后再让学生判断句子正误，结果只有7人答对2题，5人答对3题，5人答对1题，且有的是蒙对的，老师只好又放了两遍，可是效果依旧，老师很无奈，学生也显得烦躁，由于时间关系，老师

全新版大学英语3综合教程听力原文及答案第三册 Unit 1 Part B Text 1 Dating with My Mother (Part One) After 22 years of marriage, I have discovered the secret to keep love alive in my relationship with my wife, Peggy. I started dating with another woman. It was Peggy's idea. One day she said to me, 'Life is too short, you need to spend time with the people you love. You probably won't believe me, but I know you love her and I think that if the two of you spend more time together, it will make us closer.' The 'other' woman my wife was encouraging me to date is my mother, a 72-year-old widow who has lived alone since my father died 20 years ago. Right after his death, I moved 2,500 miles away to California and started my own life and career. When I moved back near my hometown six years ago, I promised myself that I would spend more time with mom. But with the demands of my job and three kids, I never got around to seeing her much beyond family get-togethers and holidays. Mom was surprised and suspicious when I called and suggested the two of us go out to dinner and a movie. 'What's wrong' she asked. 'I thought it would be nice to spend some time with you,' I said. 'Just the two of us.' 'I would like that a lot,' she said. When I pulled into her driveway, she was waiting by the door with her coat on. Her hair was curled, and she was smiling. 'I told my lady friends I was going out with my son, and they were all impressed. They can't wait to hear about our evening,' Mother said. Questions: 1. What would make the speaker closer to his wife, Peggy 2. What do you know about the speaker's mother 3. Which of the following adjectives best describes Peggy Text 2 Dating with My Mother (Part Two) We didn't go anywhere fancy, just a neighborhood place where we could talk. Since her eyes now see only large shapes and shadows, I had to read the menu for both of us. 'I used to be the reader when you were little,' she said. 'Then it is time for you to relax and let me return the favor,' I said. We had a nice talk over dinner, just catching up on each other's lives. We talked for so long that we missed the movie. 'I'll go out with you again,' my mother said as I dropped her off, 'but

Unit One Track 4-1-O- A. Jay and Elise are talking about an accident. Listen and check the correct picture. Jay: Come in here, Elise. You should see this show! Elise: What is it? Jay: It's called "The Titanic of the Sky." It's about the Hindenburg, a great engineering feat. Elise: The Hindenburg ... Jay: You know, that giant zeppelin that crashed in 1934. Thirty-five people died. Elise: Oh yeah, I remember now. It was flying from Germany to the United States. It crashed as it was landing. Jay: Right. It's so funny looking, don't you think? It doesn't look anything like the airplanes as have today. Elise: That's true. Why would people ride in a zeppelin anyway? It seems so dangerous. Jay: Well, some people called the Hindenburg "man's greatest achievement in flight." They thought it was safe, I guess. Elise: Who rode in it anyway? Jay: Mostly wealthy people. It accommodated between 30 and 40 passengers and crew. One person said it was like a "flying hotel." Eise: It sounds pretty great. Jay: Yeah, and it was fast. That's why people rode it. They wanted to get to their destination faster. Elise: Why didn't they just take a jet plane? Jay: Elise! You know they didn't have jets back then. Look, in 1934 it took five days to travel from Germany to the U.S. by ship. The zeppelin could do it in half that time. It was speedy. Elise: Well, maybe ril sit down and watch a little bit. Maybe r II learn something ... Track 4-1-O-2 | B. Listen again. How was the zeppelin described? Check your answers. Track 4-1-OL-3 A. Listen to the conversation and check the correct picture. Jack: I think we should buy a bigger car. Big cars are safer. Kayla: Yes, but on the other hand, they consume more oil. Jack: They also look really cool. Kayla: That's true, but there are some SUVs which are not big but also very beautiful. Jack: And 1 think big cars are more fun to drive. Kayla: But then again, it's very expensive. Jack: Well, let's get more information about several kinds of cars, okay? Track44OL4 Listen to another person talking about famous buildings in his country and fill in the blanks with information you hear. My country has two very famous buildings called the Petronas Towers. The buildings are made of glass, steel, and concrete. They were designed by an American architect, but he used a Malaysian style. They were finished in 1998, and they were the tallest buildings in the world at that time. Each tower has 88 floors, and is 452 meters high. I really like the Petronas Towers. They show both the modern and the traditional side of my country. Track4-1-OL-5 A. Listen to a talk on controversies about modern buildings. Then fill in the blanks to complete the sentences. Modern buildings: We love them, We hate them The world-famous Louvre Museum in Paris is almost 500 years old, and it faced a very modern problem: There simply wasn't enough space for six million visitors each year. In 1989, American architect I.M. Pei designed a striking glass pyramid in the building's center to be a visitor entrance and shopping arcade. But he also started an angry debate. Some people felt his glass building was a piece of art, like the ones inside the museum. Others said it was just an ugly, modern mistake. Kyoto, Japan, is the country's ancient capital, and the heart of its culture. Its railroad station was too small for the millions of visitors. In 1997, the city completed a new station in a huge shopping center, right in the oldest part of the city. Designed by Hiroshi Hara, the building also contains a hotel and department store. Before it was built, critics said that the high, wide, modern building would destroy the city's traditional look. On the other hand, supporters said it would bring new life into the city center. Track 4-1-OL-6 B. Now listen again and complete the chart with the information you hear. Track 4-1-OL-7 B. Listen to the interview with Erika Van Beek, an engineer. According to Erika, what should be done about overcrowding in cities? The future building boom? Interviewer: What do you think is the biggest problem facing our cities? Erika: I think it's overcrowding. Talk to anyone living in a major metropolitan area and they will say the same thing: There's no space. Even the suburbs are getting crowded. Interviewer: Well, in some places there simply isn't any land left for building, right? Erika: Yes, that's true, but you have to think creatively. You can't give up so easily. Interviewer: Think creatively? What do you suggest? Eiika What rm saying is that we can build more structures underground. We can add parking lots, malls, hotels, and even apartment buildings. There's plenty of space. Interviewer: Isn't it expensive? Eiika Yes, it can be. In the past building underground has been very expensive. However, we have new technology that will bring the cost down. It involves using robots. You don't have to pay robots a salary! Interviewer: Isn't "building down" more dangerous than other kind of construction? Erie Actually, I think it's safer than building skyscrapersfor example. Remember,we already do it. We have subways and underground shopping malls. I'm just suggesting we invest in a variety of bigger projects and that we dig deeper. Interviewer: What would you say to people who doubt your idea?
