DETROIT. Chrysler"s U. S. sales rose 20 percent in June on strong demand across its lineup, from the tiny Fiat 500 to the Ram pickup truck.
The automaker"s sales increase last month was in line with expectations for overall industry growth of about 20 percent over last June. Sales were weaker last year because the Japanese earthquake depleted supplies. Other automakers report sales later Tuesday.
Demand for Chrysler"s Ram pickup—its best-seller—increased 12 percent as home building perked up. Cars saw much bigger increases. Sales of the Fiat 500 and the Chrysler 300 large sedan more than doubled over last June.

Taibei: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, the world"s biggest contract chipmaker, has agreed to invest 1.1bn euros ($1.4bn; 850m) in one of its key equipment suppliers in a bid to cut costs.
Under the deal, it will invest 276m euro in ASML to develop tools to make smaller, more cost-effective chips. This comes just weeks after Intel signed a similar agreement with ASML. Dutch firm ASML makes machines used to print circuit patterns onto chips.
Shang-yi Chiang, TSMC"s co-chief operating officer, said that one of the biggest challenges facing the industry was "how to effectively control the escalating wafer manufacturing cost". He said the co-investment programme with ASML to develop future technology will help keep the costs in check in the long run.

WASHINGTON: Some Federal Reserve officials are reviving an idea that rose and fell with Alan Greenspan, the former Fed chairman, as they seek to persuade colleagues to take new action to stimulate growth.
Central bankers generally set policy based on their judgment about the most likely path for the nation"s economy. But Mr. Greenspan argued that the Fed sometimes should do more than its forecast suggested, buttressing the economy against large, potential risks. He described such moves as "taking out insurance."
On the eve of the Fed"s policy-making committee meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday, members who favor additional action argued that the likely path of the economy was itself sufficient reason for action. The committee predicted in June that without new measures unemployment would fall slightly, if at all, in the second half of the year.

Madrid: Spain is in an "unprecedented" double-dip recession and the outlook for the country remains "very difficult" with "significant downside risks", the International Monetary Fund has said. Its annual report on the Spanish economy praised Madrid"s "decisive action on many fronts", but warned further reforms were needed. Actions to cut debt and push financial reform were "critical", it said.
Earlier, figures showed Spanish unemployment hitting a fresh high. Almost 5.7 million Spaniards are now out of work, with the jobless rate reaching 24.6% during the April to June quarter—the highest since the 1970s.
Despite the worsening jobless figures, Spanish stocks rose sharply on Friday after French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel issued a joint statement suggesting they were ready to act to save the euro.

Old people are always saying that the young people are not

from generation to generation and it is always {{U}}(53) {{/U}}. It has
never been truer than it is today. The young are better educated. They have a

which the older generation remember vividly are {{U}}(56) {{/U}} more

{{U}}(57) {{/U}} from the one that preceded it. Today the difference is
very marked indeed. The old always assume that they know best

填空题Directions: Read the following text and answer questions by
finding information from the right column that corresponds to each of the marked
details given in the left column.There are two extra choices in the fight
column. Mark your answer on ANSWER SHEET. "The
great manufacturers in the Yorkshire and Lancashire districts tell me that,
under modern conditions, they have got into the habit of laying in supply not
for a period of two to five months but they are dependent week by week on the
importation of the raw material." So Sir George Parkin described the alarming
business practices found in Britain at the dawn of the 20th century. As a leader
of the Imperial Federation League, he sought to replace the British empire with
a bigger group of trading partners, so as to guarantee supplies. A hundred years
on, Sir George would have marveled at globalization, but been aghast that
today's manufactures measure their inventories in only a few hours of
production. The great manufacturers now have amazingly lean
operations. They have outsourced business to contractors that can do the work
more efficiently, often in places where wages are lower. A huge logistics (物流)
industry has sprung up to move stuff around the world at dazzling
speed. Containerization (集装箱运输) has slashed the cost of
shipping. Express air-freight has made overnight delivery possible to most
places on earth. Moreover, such services are within the grasp not just of the
supply departments of giant multinationals but also of anyone trading on eBay
from the spare bedroom. The logistics business is one of the
marvels of commerce, but it is not without its risks. Supply chains have become
ever more complex and extended. Some great manufacturers and great service
companies may have become too lean in their relentless drive to reduce costs,
outsourcing not just their non-core activities but essential ones too. If one
link of a company's supply chain snaps, the consequences can be grave. Ericsson
and Nokia found this out when they both relied on the same supplier for a
special chip in their mobile phones. After the chipmaker's factory was hit by
lightning, Nokia swiftly locked up all the alternative supplies whereas Ericsson
suffered a severe parts shortage and later quit making handsets on its
own. A company's best protection from its own supply chain is
to expect failure, not to hide from it. Toyota last year narrowly escaped a
parts shortage when an American supplier went bankrupt. The carmaker has now
introduced an early-warning system in Europe to try to detect any looming
problems with suppliers before they bring production lines to a halt.
The good news is that many companies are now trying to identify the choke
points and weak links in their supply chains. What about Sir George's
concern—the wider threat to national economies? With so many people worrying
about oil supplies and a bird-flu epidemic, the prospect of supply chains
collapsing around the world can seem a scary idea. It shouldn't
be. There are a few industries where it makes sense for governments to keep some
emergency stocks of a few essentials such as energy, munitions and medicines.
But the logistical disruption is not a good way for politicians to think about
everyday life, let alone to start interfering in markets.
Natural disasters are not, in fact, a common cause of supply-chain disruptions.
Most are the result of humdrum internal problems, like bad planning or the
choice of an unreliable subcontractor. That can be terrible for a particular
company, but hardly poses a threat to society at large. After all, if Ericsson
and Nokia cannot supply you with a mobile phone, Samsung would be only too happy
to get one to you tomorrow. A. be free from the interference of
markets. B. make supply chains increasingly intricate and
lengthy. C. some manufacturers and service companies outsource
their core business to contractors for more profit. D. they
outsource business to contractors that can do the work more
efficiently. E. a company should try to identify any potential
problems with suppliers in advance. F. pose a threat to society
at large. G. the logistics business is not without its
risks.

填空题ENGLISH-CHINESE TRANSLATION.(南京农业大学2008研,考试科目:英汉互译)Since the company would not desire applicants who do not have a good profile, it is important that an application form sent to a prospective applicant should request clear information about such things as the applicant"s age, qualifications and work experience as well as references from other individuals who know the applicant well.This information assists the company"s management in making a final decision on those applicants they can shortlist for an interview.The staff conducting an interview together are called an "interview panel" , who, prior to the interview, carefully review the job descriptions, personnel specifications, and applications. To help the panel in their selection, an interview assessment form is often used during the interview when each applicant is checked according to a number of criteria indicated on the form.
