34、nter, I know weve asked you here to talk about Thorntec University, but before we begin, lets talk about the company. Thorntec Electronics seems to be enjoying a boom at the moment. Can you put some figures on that? M: YesWellin 2000, Thorntecs total sales were 20 billion. But in 2005, our sales gre
35、w by more than 5 billion. Sowhile we used to think that 15% growth was good, for some time we were reckoning on achieving 20 to 25%though recent developments have changed that. F: And what about international expansion? Where are your big growth markets? M: Over the next five years, well be hiring 1
36、00,000 new employeesin Asia alone, itll be 60,000.The real development during this period will still be concentrated in Asia - mostly China, India and Vietnam. Were hoping that one day the market there will be as big as Europe. Over a longer period, were also planning to expand into the Middle East
37、and into Southern Africa. All this development is very important for the company. For example, the plans for China will bring investment up to 100 billion. A few years ago, Id never have dreamed that wed be selling 2 billion dollars worth of products there, which we did last year. Its hard to believ
38、e that only seven years ago we sold nothing there at all. F: Can we talk about Thorntec University itself? Can you explain - simply - how it works, and who its for? M: I suppose its really similar to a community-based education system - a bit like a village school - except, of course, this is a glob
39、al village. Basically, its designed to provide education and training for every single member of staff, from the Managing Director to the newest recruit. F: And what kind of education and training is actually on offer? M: Well, we have core courses that everyone is required to attend. They focus on
40、things like reducing manufacturing time as well as quality issues - both for people and services. We also offer a range of options, everything from personal finance to languages. We run courses, for example, in French, Japanese, Korean and Mandarin. F: Can we turn now to the question of motivation a
41、nd how you go about keeping people interested in their work? M: We never underestimate training. Its a challenge, for example, keeping someone aged 20 skilled until theyre aged 60. So we do what we can. While some employees get as much as three days training a month, the minimum is fixed at three da
42、ys a year. We also have a feed back system in the form of a questionnaire that employees answer every six months, and in this way we can keep up-to-date with employees opinions. F: So you really do believe in investing in your employees? M: Thats right. We allow an amount equivalent to about 4% of a
43、n employees salary for his or her training - to “maintain them“, if you like, because we think theyre important. A piece of machinery, however, gets as much as 10-12% of its purchase price spent on maintenancenow, I believe that people are more important than machines, so we still have a long way to
44、 go. F: It would seem, though, that Thorntec is more broad-minded than many firms in its approach to educating and training its employees. M: Well, Thorntec has been in a state of constant renewal since it was founded in 1928, but it wasnt until the late sixties onwards that the company started tryi
45、ng out new methods of training and education. Thorntec University was the result of those experiments and has been operating very successfully for the last fifteen years. I suppose overall what distinguishes Thorntec from other multinationals is that we educate all our employees and not just management. F: Thank you, Mr. Winter, and I hope that Thorntec University continues to do well in its educational role. 23 【正确答案】 B 【知识模块】 听力 24 【正确答案】 C 【知识模块】 听力 25 【正确答案】 A 【知识模块】 听力 26 【正确答案】 B 【知识模块】 听力 27 【正确答案】 A 【知识模块】 听力 28 【正确答案】 C 【知 识模块】 听力 29 【正确答案】 B 【知识模块】 听力 30 【正确答案】 C 【知识模块】 听力
