填空题下面5条新闻涉及的大多是企业削减或调整计划,仔细阅读找出其主要内容,然后对照以上8个句子中的关键词: A ABC International, one of Europe's leading educational organizations, has warned shareholders to expect a fall in full year profits. The company, whose flagship training centre in Copenhagen is currently being modernized and refurbished, made an interim profit of $12m, compared with $ 23m in 1998. In response to its poor financial results, ABC has announced plans to cut jobs in its French and Spanish centres. An employee spokesman said that the move would Prove unpopular and that with insufficient employees, some centres would struggle to deliver the high level of service demanded. B Maarit Ehlers, former government adviser and the new CEO at CTAD in Finland, has announced cost-cutting measures at the company. This decision has already led to the resignation of one of the company's most respected employees. Niina Rantanen had been with OTAD for over 15 years, most recently as its Head of Operations. It is believed that she objected to company plans to reduce staffing levels at two of CTAD's plants. Indications are that further high level resignations will follow in the next few months. C ITNET has finalised merger terms with AREN to create one of Romania's largest computer software companies. Details of the merger are expected to be released later today. However, it is believed that ITNET's plans to break into France and Germany have been put on hold for the time being and that major job losses will soon be announced. ITNET looks set to benefit from the merger with AREN, which has recently been awarded a number of major contracts, including a contract with the Romania Ministry for Finance, which will be worth in excess of $ 345, 000 for the company. Sam Cargo has responded to redundancy rumours by revealing that it is to cut the number of office-based staff employed in its Scandinavian division by 25% over the next 24 months. The announcement follows confirmation that the company has also decided to postpone the planned upgrading of haulage systems at its Stockholm subsidiary. A senior staff member has revealed that Sam Cargo's business has deteriorated in recent months due to the escalating price war with central and eastern European rivals. E Trivoli Chemicals, British industrial chemical company, announced yesterday that it is to cut 600 blue-collar jobs in a series of downsizing measures at three of its German plants. The news coincided with confirmation that the company also plans to dispose of its loss-making operations, SolvPaints, the industrial solvent and paint division. This restructuring comes as the company reported a sharp drop in pre-tax profits. According to a company spokesman, the proposed joint venture with DTR International, one of Trivoli Chemicals' main competitors, is likely to be shelved.

填空题A.Advice concerning credit card use abroad has been formally compiled in a new guide. The guidance includes tips on what fees credit card users may incur if they spend on plastic while on holiday. Furthermore, the information advises holidaymakers to remain vigilant against fraud. As a nation Brits use cards more frequently abroad so it pays to be aware of any extra costs, as well as taking steps to protect them from fraud. In 2007, 50 percent of all spending overseas by Brits was paid for by credit cards, according to Apacs figures.B.In the UK, enough savings to survive three months of incapacity, or £4, 128, is recommended as a sensible minimum precaution. According to Birmingham Midshires calculations, the average UK adult has £7, 548 in the bank, enough to cover 167 days, or five months and 17 days. It is encouraging to see that people are taking heed of this message and are actually saving double this minimum amount. Meanwhile, figures released showed that the average man has twice as much put away as the average woman, or £10,912 compared to £4, 443 respectively.C.Rising interest rates on current account overdrafts are costing people in the UK hundreds of millions of pounds every year, financial analysts have warned. Analysts say that the UK could save itself £700 million a year if people found the best current account overdraft rate to suit them, rather than putting up with high charges and rising fees. Three quarters of all current accounts have overdrafts. Millions are paying rates of around 15 percent when rates as low as nine percent are available if customers bother to compare different providers.D.Online banking is going to become more common across all age groups as younger generations grow into adulthood, according to HSBC. This will lead to 'smart websites' that will adapt the content and services they offer to engage on a personal basis with as many of their customers as possible. A recent survey was conducted by UK payments association Apacs. to coincide with the tenth anniversary of internet banking, and it was found that over 18 million people in the UK use internet banking.E.A significant number of British adults live in poor areas where there are no cash machines, or the machines that are there require a fee to be paid. However, a nationwide program is underway to install standard cash machines in these areas. More than one million customers will gain access to cash machines that do not charge them for withdrawing money from their current accounts, according to the British Bankers' Association (BBA). Angela Knight, chief executive of the BBA, said: ' Banks are determined that customers have access to their cash wherever they live and work'

填空题
填空题{{B}}PART ONE{{/B}}· Look at these sentences and the five passages chosen
from a booklet entitled "How Do I Get Into Export". The book explains steps to
successful exporting.· Which clip does each sentence refer to?· For each
sentence, mark one letter A, B, C, D or E.· You will need to use some of
these letters more than once.
A. Commitment: Developing export markets can be costly in
terms of time, money have the commitment required to make a success of export?
Entering new markets and developing them usually takes considerable time and
effort. You must take a long-term view. Consider how many resources and how long
it takes to break into a new regional market in Australia. The time and cost can
be multiplied several times when you are looking at an overseas
market.B. Finance: Breaking into any new markets requites
considerable funds (airfares, accommodation, advertising, sales promotion, new
brochures, training of overseas sales agent, etc.). Does your company have the
financial strength to commit say $ 30,000 or more for the year or two it may
take to develop a new overseas market? Discusses your plans with
the international Department of your bank to ensure that all the financial
aspects are covered and viable. Gain an understanding of international trade
finance. Discuss costing-for-export with your accountant, and
transport/packaging requirements with a customs agent or forwarding
agent.C. Become familiar with common terms used in
international trade. The Australian Trade Commission (AUSTRADE) and the major
trading banks have reference booklets. The Australian Institute of Expert
provides courses.D. Select one or two likely markets and
undertake desk research to identify their characteristics. Most first-time
exporters start with New Zeatand. Many are also interested in the USA, but that
is an enormous and complex market. In making a detailed market
study the following should be considered: ·whether the country
selected already imports the product (import statistics will show how much and
from where) ·what import duties the product would
attract ·other barriers to imports, such as import
licensing ·frequency and cost of shipping or airfreight between
Australia and the market ·regulations, such as quarantine and
labeling standards, consumer protection rules, and product standards
·whether cultural differences need to be taken into account. 'Read
economic and social literature on the target market to understand its
fundamental characteristics.E. The desk research should have
indicated the market with the most potential and you should now be in a good
position to visit the target market. The main purpose of the visit will be to
study its special characteristics, the opportunities/competition at first hand,
seek a suitable agent or distributor, and jointly draw up an appropriate
marketing plan to introduce and expand the sale of your product. These are all
very important considerations, and more than one visit will probably be
necessary. Choosing the right agent, for most Companies, is probably the single
most important step. Do not rush this step.
