填空题
Read the interviews with two executives about business
travel. Match the statements to the right person, Amy Nauiokas or Tony Book or
both.
doesn't use public transport Tony
American Amy Nauiokas is the managing director of Barclays Wealth, the dedicated stockbroking arm of the Barclays Bank Group. She travels around the UK and to the US and Asia on business.
'I have a budget and I book my travel direct. I do quite a lot of long-haul travel, so I have a certain routine worked out. I keep awake if the goal is to sleep when I arrive and I go to sleep if I need to work when I get off the flight. Often when I'm coming back from New York I'll get the last flight, sleep on the plane, arrive at 6 am and go into the office. I'm quite lucky because I can sleep anywhere. Also luckily, when I go long-haul, the company pays for me to travel business class.'
'I think the UK rail system is much better than the one in the US; mind you I'm not so sure about London underground. The New York subway is much more reliable, it would never just stop between stations for no apparent reason.'
'I like small, boutique-style hotels. My strategy is to find a home away from home and my home is more like a small property than one of these giant hotels. In New York, I recommend the Mercer in Soho. I still think the fun place to do business is New York; I just thrive on the pace and style of it. I don't think you can find a business culture that is more direct. In England, everyone is very pleasant, but it takes me a bit longer to find out when there are problems.'
