27、ave been some important staff changes. Our previous Chief Executive, Simon Marsh, has moved on to become MD of another company, so congratulations to our Sales Manager, David Shaw, who will become Chief Executive. We wish him every success in his new role. The position of the new premises here was c
28、arefully chosen so that we would be near the airport, instead of being in a city centre, like a lot of other factories. These premises are far bigger. Although our sales area has remained about the same and we have slightly more room for design workshops, t is the manufacturing area that we have exp
29、anded the most. As you can see, this is a very exciting time for us and we will continue to improve our facilities for staff. There will now be plenty of space to build a new staff car park, as parking has always been a problem. Thatll be completed in the spring. However, the staff canteen is now op
30、en and I hope you will be joining us for lunch there later. Now that weve moved, we intend to expand into two new areas of the clothing industry. In addition to our existing adults range, we are ready to start on a range of childrens clothes. These will be in production by next month, followed later

33、ast meeting with your department. Woman: Yes, there were a lot of questions about computer systems and flexible working hours. Man: Well talk about computer systems in a minute, but I think we can leave flexible working hours for the time being. What Im really very concerned about at the moment, tho
34、ugh, is how some staff are working. Im not at all happy with how long its taking for some reports on visits to come in. Peter Jones, for instance, hasnt produced a single report on time. The last, on his visit to Berlin was two weeks late. Its not as though theyre long reports - they should only tak
35、e a short time to write. Woman: Ill certainly warn Peter about getting reports in more quickly but it really comes down to a question of staff training. I think we need to do some workshops on time management. Man: I agree, but getting consultants in to do the training costs money. Itd be cheaper to
36、 use one of our own staff. Have we got anyone who could do it? Woman: Laura Williams has some management training experience.

Im worried about the computer ski
38、lls of some of the staff, though. A few could do with some extra training. Man: Im sure youre right. Could we organise that on the premises, do you think? Woman: Possibly, but itd be expensive. I know the business college in Park Street has a really good computer section. Ive compared their prices w
39、ith those of the computer training centre at Blackstone and the college prices are far more reasonable. Man: Lets go for that, then. Will you see to it? Woman: Certainly. Now, I think this would be a good time to make some office changes before the new software comes in. The Accounts team need a big
40、ger office. At the moment, weve only got five people using the Marketing office on the second floor, so Accounts could take over that office if we moved Marketing to the first floor. Man: And Human Resources up to the third floor? Yes, that sounds a good idea. Woman: Great. Itll mean moving a lot of
41、 equipment. Accounts keep complaining about some of their equipment. Itd be nice if we could replace it. Man: We certainly cant replace all of it. Whats causing most problems? Woman: Well, weve had to call technical support in at least once every week for the past two months to deal with the fax mac
42、hine. The printers were causing trouble but theyre working well enough now and everyone complains that the photocopier is slow but its alright, really. Man: Right, Ill see what we can do. Now, I have to go in a minute. What do we need to discuss when we meet next week? Woman: Theres the Health and S
43、afety report. Man: Oh, John Wilkins has already done that. Woman: Good. What about the programme for the French clients? Theyre coming at the beginning of next month. Man: Time is getting short. Wed better deal with that. Woman: And then what about getting a new PA to replace Louise? Man: Oh, we can leave that, I think. She isnt going till the end of April now. Woman: Thats good. I thought she was leaving sooner. 23 【正确答案】 B 24 【正确答案】 A 25 【正确答案】 C 26 【正确答案】 B 27 【正确答案】 C 28 【正确答案】 B 29 【正确答案】 A 30 【正确答案】 B
