{{B}}MAKE SURE YOUR MEETINGS RUN
SMOOTHLY{{/B}} A well run meeting can achieve much, but a badly run
meeting is unlikely to achieve anything, and indeed may damage on an
important project's34 progress. Meetings should create a sense of the
harmony, but they can35 cause confusion. In normal circumstances, so
meetings should be planned36 well in advance, both in terms of who
will attend it and what will be discussed.37 Overcrowded meetings
suggest managers lack their self-confidence and38 mean there will be
too much of discussion on every minor point. The only39 points that
should be discussed are those that require a decision. If you need40
your staff to update you on something, ask them to send information
you41 can read in your own time. Before a meeting starts, establish
for the finishing42 time, and stick to it. If you let one only meeting
run over, then all your meetings43 will. Make sure the purpose of the
meeting is clear there to all concerned, so44 that everyone stays as
focused. Coffee breaks should be regular, and taken45 away from the
table, to maintain energy and concentration at optimum levels.

填空题AGet as much information about the client as possible—annual reports company periodicals, publicity. Sometimes there is a point of contact, i.e. someone who is involved in drafting the request for proposals and who can answer technical questions about the form and content of your proposal. Call the person—they may reveal some information that, can give you a competitive edge or at least a more customised approach to solving the prospective client's problem. Sometimes they ever, have a checklist of items they look for in each proposal and will be prepared to tell you about it if you ask.BProposals are evaluated by a wide range of readers, from top management to technical evaluators to budget analysers. These readers will focus on different sections of a proposal, perhaps missing out whole segments, All readers, however, should be able to evaluate the first section of a proposal, which is a summary of the document. The length can vary greatly—it may sometimes be only one paragraph but in a very formal report it may run to several pages.CThe worst thing you can de is offer value judgements which the client can refute. You want to seem serious, fair, objective and factual. Only after you build a foundation of fact can you offer a few judgements. Otherwise, you are likely to invite the reader to take issue with you. The facts are your findings and should be labelled as such: opinions are conclusions and should be labelled that way. If you use adjectives like 'powerful', 'wide-ranging', 'significant', etc., make sure you support them with details.DIn proposal writing there is a tendency to rely on standard formats, i.e. static, standard sentences, paragraphs or pages that seem to fit all situations and do not change from proposal to proposal. No-company sees itself as being like any other and so the last thing you want is for a prospective client to believe you are just recycling old solutions. You must try to create (the ideas to fit the needs of the particular client and try not to copy old ideas because you cannot be bothered to generate new ones).

{{/U}} over every year of the decline. Summers has agreed to meet next month

hiring as many extraordinary women members of the faculty as we can has to be a

2001, told The Boston Globe in Wednesday's {{U}}(32) {{/U}}.
The letter suggests that Summers may have inadvertently caused the decline
by failing to {{U}}(33) {{/U}} the issue, by concentrating new hires in
disciplines with fewer women, and by seeking out "rising young stars", who are
more likely to be at an age when women pause in their careers to have
children. Summers said that some of the responsibility lies with
Harvard's academic departments. Departments nominate and review candidates for
senior jobs, though all must ultimately be approved by him.
Overall, women currently make up 18 percent of Harvard's senior faculty
and 34 percent of the junior faculty, proportions similar to those of peer
institutions.

{{B}}Demand for Houses Still Running Ahead of
Supply{{/B}}{{B}}A{{/B}}House prices have risen again this month as demand
continues to outstrip supply, according to the latest research from the property
website Rightmove. co. u. k. National average asking prices asking prices rose
by 2.3 per cent in September, pushing the average house price through £150,000
and setting the annual rate at 22.2 per cent.{{B}}B{{/B}}"The shortage of
properties coming on to the market in many areas means that it is still a
seller's market, particularly in the lower and middle price brackets. This
shortage and continuing demand are resulting in renewed increases in asking
prices overall," Rightmove's Miles Shipside said. The findings support the
latest survey from the nationwide Building Society, which showed prices rising
at their highest rate since 1999, but contradict the latest Halifax survey which
reported a slight slowdown in annual inflation from 20.8 to 18.8 per
cent.{{B}}C{{/B}}"It's an intriguing situation, with two house price indexes
showing the market grinding to a halt, and two showing that the train still has
a good head of steam," said John Wriglesworth, an independent housing
commentator. He said that property markets should remain "well supported",
thanks to "low interest rates, good affordability and low
unemployment".{{B}}D{{/B}}At the end of last month, nation wide said house
prices surged at their fastest rate for 13 years and said it saw no sign of
demand for homes weakening. The price of the average home jumped by 2.5 percent
in August, for the second month in a row, to £110,890, a gain of£67 for every
day of the month. Halifax contradicted that just days later, reporting that
prices rose in August at their slowest rate for 10 months. It said house prices
rose just 0.2 per cent, after jumping 1.8 per cent in July, bringing the annual
rise down to 18.8 per cent.
填空题AIt's the space where commodities traders turn into couch potatoes and kids spend every waking moment from the terrible twos to the terrifying teens. Whatever you want to call it--the living room, the family room, the playroom--it's now the most wired room in the house, even more so, surprisingly, than the home office. So it's about time you got some R&R (Rest and Relaxation) payback from all that technology.BDespite many changes in the past few decades, we're essentially doing the same things in the family room we've always done. These include watching TV and movies, listening to music, and communicating with friends. But now we've gone hi-tech. The capabilities and quality of the devices we use today have improved dramatically, and there's much more to come. Parts of your future living room are currently well-defined and developed, but hooking them all up into a cohesive whole is still like piecing together a jigsaw puzzle.CIn recent years, TVs have become bigger and more beautiful. But we're still paying a high price for the size and beauty. Take, for example, Toshiba's 65-inch Theater Wide HD Projection TV, which is big enough to make you feel like you're really in a movie theater. As it costs almost $ 8, 500, you could practically hire some actors to perform in your living room for less. But you're paying for the size and picture quality of a projection TV, as well as future-proofing support for digital High-Definition TV.DThe great thing about life in the 21st century is how much easier when you get home. In Tokyo the folds at Panasonic have built a mockup of what they call "the house of the future". In the future, it's gonna be video mail and starts when you do a fingerprint analysis to let the computer know you're home. Sensors then note your presence, turn on the lights and set each room's temperature to your preference, or fire up the 500-channel, 50-inch plasma TV, which can store a hundred hours of TV programs in the main home computer.

If the company is installing in computer-based manufacturing equipment, 34. it has three possible strategies for dealing with the need to have computer-literate 35. employees. First, the company can decide that is given its staff expertise and budget, 36. if it can use internal consultants to train all affected employees. Second, the company 37. may decide that it is more than cost-effective to identify employees who are computer-literate 38. by using tests and work samples. Employees who fail to the test or perform 39. below standards on the work sample can be got reassigned to other jobs. Choosing 40. this strategy gives suggests that the company has decided to devote resources to 41. selection and placement rather than training.
