Amitai Etzioni is not surprised by the latest headings about scheming corporate crooks(骗子). As a visiting professor at the Harvard Business School in 1989 ,he ended his work there disgusted with his students' overwhelming lust for money. "They're taught that profit is all that matters," he says. "Many schools don't even offer ethics (伦理学) courses at all."
Etzioni expressed his frustration about the interests of his graduate students. "By and large. I clearly had not found a way to help classes full of MBAS see that there is more to life than money, power, fame and self-interest," he wrote at the time. Today he still takes the blame for not educating these "business-leaders-to-he". "I really feel like I failed them, "he says. "If I was a better teacher maybe I could have reached them."
Etzioni was a respected ethics expert when he arrived at Harvard. He hoped his work at the university would give him insight into how questions of morality could he applied to places where serf-interest flourished. What he found wash't encouraging. Those would-be executives had, says Etzioni, little interest in concepts of ethics and morality in the boardroom--and their professor was met with blank stares when he urged his students to see business in new and different ways.
Etzioni sees the experience at Harvard as an eye-opening one and says there's much about business schools that he'd like to change. "A lot of the faculty teaching business tire bad news themselves. "Etzioni says. From offering classes that teach students how to legally manipulate contracts, to reinforcing the notion of profit over community interests, Etzioni has seen a lot that's left him shaking his head. And because of what he's seen taught in business schools, he's not surprised by the latest rash of corporate scandals. "In many ways things have got a lot worse at business schools. I suspect. "says Etzioni.
Etzioni is still teaching the sociology of right and wrong and still calling for ethical business leadership. "People with poor motives will always exist," he says. "Sometimes environments constrain those people and sometimes environments give those people opportunity. "Etzioni says the booming economy of the last decade enabled those individuals with poor motives to get rich before getting in trouble. His hope now: that the cries for reform. will provide more fertile soil for his longstanding messages about business ethics.
What impressed Amitai Etzioni most about Harvard MBA students？
A．Their keen interest in business courses.
B．Their intense desire for money.
C．Their tactics for making profits.
D．Their potential to become business leaders.

Passage Two
The other day I heard an American say to a Chinese student of English "You speak very good English." But the student answered, "No, no. My English is very poor." The foreigner was quite surprised at the answer. Thinking he had not made himself understood or the student had not heard him clearly, he said, "Yes indeed, you speak English very well." But the Chinese student still kept saying "No". In the end the foreigner gave up and was at a loss what to say. What's wrong with the student's answer？ It is because he did not accept a compliment(赞美的话)as the English people do. He should have said "Thank you" instead of "No". He actually understood what the American had said. But he thought he should be modest. If he said "Thank you", that would mean he was too proud. According to the western culture, if someone says the dishes you have cooked are very delicious, you should say "Thank you". If someone says to a Woman "You look so beautiful with the new clothes on", she should be very happy and answer "Thank you". In our country we think being modest is a virtue and showing off a bad thing. But in the west, if you are modest and say "No, I'm afraid I can't do it well", then the others will take it for granted that you really cannot do it. If you often say "No", you will certainly be looked down upon by others. When asking for a job, if one says something like "Let me have a try on the job" instead of "Yes, I can certainly do it," he or she will never expect to get it. So in the west one should always be confident. Without self-confidence, he cannot go anywhere. Confidence is of great importance to one in a country where competition is quite keen.
40. Why was the American surprised at the Chinese student's answer？
A. Because he wondered whether the student could really speak good English.
B. Because he could hardly hear what the student had said.
C. Because he wouldn't like others to say "No".
D. Because the way to accept a compliment in China is not the same as that in the western countries.

A: I've come about your offer for bristles.
B: We have the offer ready for you． Let me see..． Here it is． 100 cases of Tsingtao Bristles, 57mm, at..． pounds sterling per kilogram, CIF European Main Ports, for shipment in June, 2009． The offer is valid for three days.
A: Why, your price has soared．It's almost 25 % higher than last year's． It would be impossible for us to push any sales at such a price.
B: I'm a little surprised to hear you say that． You know very well that market for bristles has gone up a great deal in recent months． The price we offer compares favourably with quotations you can get elsewhere.
A: I'm afraid I can't agree with you there． I must point out that your price is higher than some of the quotations we have received from other sources.
B: But you must take the quality into consideration． Everyone in the trade knows that China's bristles are of superior quality to those from other countries.
A: I agree that yours are of better quality． But there's competition from synthetic products, too． You can't ignore that prices for synthetic bristles haven't changed much over the years.
B: There's practically no substitute for bristles for certain uses． That's why demand for natural bristles keeps rising in spite of cheaper synthetic ones． To be frank with you, if it were not for the long-standing relationship between us, we would hardly be willing to make you a firm offer at this price.
A: Well, we'll have a lot of difficulties in persuading our clients to buy at this price． But I'll have to try, I suppose.

Living in the country requires an active lifestyle.It involves activities like doing daily chores,preparing firewood for winter heating,feeding animals including pets and livestock,tending the garden,or securing fences,etc.For me,the most attractive activities are fishing,hunting and hiking.I enjoy seeing what nature has to offer everyday through a simple walk down the lttle trail,or a relaxing drive along the country road with patches of green grass ornamented with wildlife sightings of birds,moose,bears,deer,etc.
Living the country life helps us appreciate some of the simpler things,things that make us feel good about ourselves and the world.It may be just a get together on a Saturday at the local farmers market,or a project or a problem that the community might pull together to help solve.I have participated in a few community projects,like dealing with out-of-control grass fires,a roof that collapsed from a large snow fall,or even helping a recent widow with fire wood for the winter.Sometimes I am surprised by how much benefit we receive from helping others and as for this community I can't say enough.
Ireally enjoy living the country life.I know it's not for everyone,but I know it's for me.

第9题
Henry and his friend Sally are talking about online shopping.
Sally: Do you do a lot of your shopping online？
Henry: Not really. I like looking at what's available on the Internet before I actually buy it. Sometimes, I'll choose what I want in a shop, later buying it online if it's cheaper. You don't like buying things online, do you？
Sally: No. I'm a little worried about security issues. You never know who's trying to find out your codes and passwords. Aren't you worried about that？
Henry: Not really. I know that it happens, but if you buy from reputable companies with secure websites, it should be OK. Even though I use online shopping facilities, I don't think it's the best way.
Sally: I'm surprised to hear you say that. I thought you loved any digital things.
Henry: I do. I'm a big fan of using new digital products, but I don't want to sit in front of a computer screen all day. I think people need to get out and interact with other people.
