For each question, 18 22, choose the opinion expr

34、essed about the decision of this CEO from the list A-H. After you have listened once, replay the recording. You now have 30 seconds to read the two lists. pause Now listen, and do the two tasks. pause Man: Putting Blankfein up before the TV queen would certainly be a ballsy strategy for Goldman, whi

35、ch is anxious to improve its dreadful public image. Battling $1bn fraud charges laid by the Securities and Exchange Commission and struggling to explain its habit of paying out supersized bonuses, Goldman wants to be seen as a bit more of a caring, sharing bank. Oprahs show worked(sort of)for the Du

36、chess of York, who used the programme last month as the forum for an apology over her “cash for royal access“ scandal. Oprah isnt the toughest of examiners even Sarah Palin succeeded in getting through an interview with her without saying anything too embarrassing. Woman: Well, obviously Andrew your

37、e much more in touch with the latest developments in the investment financial institutions and the regulations on them and the Americans perception of them than I am. Would that stretch to Lloyd Blankfein doing an Oprah interview? Given what you say, maybe. Yet, personally Im not sure that in a coun

38、try, where there is no universal welfare provision and each US citizen is largely expected to provide for him/herself, there will be a sustained disgruntle-ment with “overly keen“ Goliaths like Goldman.

40、So she might have some empathy for the circles in which Blank moves. Sadly though, Goldmans chief spokesman, Lucas van Praag, has put the kibosh on the idea.

42、ling their story to a broader audience has considerable attraction but the way that is done is also important. Woman; Thats it. They finally decided to do it. I dont think Blankfein or Goldman Cashs gives a toss what the public thinks. So long as they are protected by friend on Capital Hill and they

Somehow Andrew, I dont t

45、hink Lloyd Blank is having trouble sleeping at night, and he has lost a bit of face among his fellow Americans. Lets not forget the US is a robustly free-market, capitalist society. If Goldman Cashs were a retail bank for ordinary Americans, then I would say hed probably consider doing an interview

46、with Oprah. GC is not your bread-and-butter financial institution.
