单选题The entrepreneur，according to French economist J．B．Say，“is a person who shifts economic resources out of an area of lower and into an area of higher productivity and yield．”But Say’s definition does not tell us who this entrepreneur is．Some define the entrepreneur simply as one who starts his or her own new and small business．For our purposes，we will define the entrepreneur as a person who takes the necessary risks to organize and manage a business and receives the financial profits and nonmonetary rewards． The man who opens a small pizza restaurant is in business，but is he an entrepreneur? He took a risk and did something，but did he shift resources or start the business? If the answer is yes，then he is considered an entrepreneur．Ray Kroc is an example of an entrepreneur because he founded and established MCDonald’s．His hamburgers were not a new idea，but he applied new techniques，resource allocations，and organizational methods in his venture．Ray Kroc upgraded the productivity and yield from the resources applied to create his fast-food chain．This is what entrepreneurs do；this is what entrepreneurship means． Many of the sharp，black-and-white contrasts between the entrepreneur and the professional have faced to a gray color．Formerly，professionals such as doctors，lawyers，dentists，and accountants were not supposed to be entrepreneurial．aggressive。or market oriented．They were“above”the market-driven world．Entrepreneurs，on the other hand，were the mavericks of society．They were risk-takers who aggressively sought to make something happen．Long hours were about all the two worlds had in common．However，increased competition，saturated markets，and a more price—conscious public have changed the world of the professionals．Today they need to market their skills．，talents，and competencies；Lawyers advertise their services．Doctors specialize in one form of surgery．Accounting firms join with other businesses(e．g．，consulting and law)to serve clients． Entrepreneurs exhibit many different behaviors；searching for a specific personality pattern is very difficult．Some entrepreneurs are quiet，introverted，and analytical．On the other hand，some are brash，extroverted，and very emotional．Many of them share some qualities．Viewing change as the norm，entrepreneurs usually search for it，respond to it，and treat it as an opportunity．An entrepreneur such as Ray Kroc of MCDonald’s is able to take resources and shift them to meet a need．Making the decision to shift resources works better if a person is creative，experienced，and confident．

单选题Rising wages -together with currency fluctuations and high fuel costs -are eating away the once-formidable "China price" advantage, prompting thousands of factory owners to flee the Pearl River Delta. Much has been written about the more than doubling of wages at the Shenzhen factory of Foxconn, the world's largest electronics contract manufacturer, which produces Apple iPhones and iPads and employs 920,000 people in China alone. "One can talk about a world pre-and post-Foxconn," says Victor Fung, chairman of Li & Fung, the world's biggest sourcing company and a supplier of Wal-Mart. "Foxconn is as important as that." Foxconn's wage increases are only the most dramatic. Our analysis suggests that, since February, minimum wages have climbed more than 20 percent in 20 Chinese regions and up to 30 percent in some, including Sichuan. At a Guangdong Province factory supplying Honda, wages have risen an astonishing 47 percent. All this is bad news for companies operating in the world's manufacturing hub, and chief executives should assume that double-digit annual rises-if not on the scale witnessed this year-are here to stay. Looked at another way, however, wage inflation provides companies with a once-in-a-generation opportunity to rethink radically the way they approach global production -and they should do so sooner rather than later. Why the urgency? After all, wage hikes in China are nothing new. Since 1990, they have risen by an average of 13 percent a year in U.S. dollar terms and 19 percent annually in the past five years. There are two big reasons the situation is different now. The first has to do with productivity. Over the past 20 years, productivity increases have broadly matched wage increase, negating their impact. The pay rises came from a very low base, so while average wages grew 19 percent a year from 2005 to 2010, this amounted to only ￥260 a month per employee, a sum that could be offset by more efficient production or switching to cheaper sources of parts and materials. If labor costs continue, however, to increase at 19 percent a year for another five years, monthly wages would grew ￥623 per month, according to BCG estimates. Such an increase would ripple through the economy in the form of higher prices for components, business services, cargo-handling and office staff. The second reason relates to societal change. Until now, it has been easy to lure a seemingly unlimited number of young, low-wage workers to the richer coastal regions and house them cheaply in dormitories until they saved enough to return home to their families in the interior provinces. In the future, though, young workers will be harder to recruit. This is partly because there will be fewer of them: Largely because of the country's one-child policy, the number of Chinese aged 15 to 29 will start declining in 2011. Moreover, with living standards rising across China, fewer of today' s rural youth will want to go to coastal regions to toil for 60 hours a week on an assembly line and live in a cramped dormitory. So what can CEOs do in this fast-changing environment? An instinctive reaction is to search for cheaper labor elsewhere. But this is short-sighted and would provide-at best-a short-term fix. Another option is to stay in China and try to squeeze out greater productivity gains.

单选题To: Staff of the Marketing Department From: Colleen Dane, Director of Marketing Date: November 6th This memo is to inform all marketing staff that there will be a mandatory meeting on Tuesday, November 14th at 2:00 p.m. The meeting will be conducted via a video-conference with our company headquarters in Seattle. From the head office, Joe Lamond, our company vice president, will give us feedback and ask questions regarding our proposals for the new advertising strategy. What do we, the marketing team, want to accomplish in this meeting? The goal is simple: We hope to elicit the vice president's consent for our print media campaign on the new Spring Shoe. Once we receive his approval, we can go ahead and offer our proposal to the advertising firm. If any staff member cannot attend this meeting, that employee is obliged to submit, in writing, a reason for their absence. Colleen Dane Director of MarketingTo: Colleen Dane, Director of MarketingFrom: Keith Wilson, Senior Marketing ConsultantDate: November 7thDear Ms. Dane, I'm writing in response to your department-wide memo of November 6th. Upon review of my schedule, I have to report that I cannot accommodate your request for attending the meeting on the 14th. I have a long-standing commitment on that same afternoon to attend the opening ceremony of our new factory in Wichita. As a consultant, I regret having to miss the meeting, as it's necessary for me to be actively involved in our new advertising campaign. Unfortunately, the president himself insisted that I be present at the upcoming ceremony. What I propose is a sort of compromise for my absence. Sheila Parks, a junior on our marketing team, is willing to transcribe the minutes for me so I can review the meeting's content in detail when I return to the office. If the vice president addresses a question to me directly, I will respond promptly by contacting him by email or phone. Also, I will ask Joe Dunn, senior manager of the marketing team, to brief me on the meeting's outcome. Please understand my position. I wait for you reply. Keith Wilson

单选题 If you intend using humor in your talk to make people smile, you must know how to identify shared experiences and problems. Your humor must be relevant to the audience and should help to show them that you are one of them or that you understand their situation and are in sympathy with their point of view. Depending on whom you are addressing, the problems will be different. If you are talking to a group of managers, you may refer to the disorganized methods of their secretaries; alternatively if you are addressing secretaries, you may want to comment on their disorganized bosses. Here is an example, which I heard at a nurses' convention, of a story which works well because the audience all shared the same view of doctors. A man arrives in heaven and is being shown around by St. Peter. He sees wonderful accommodations, beautiful gardens, sunny weather, and so on. Everyone is very peaceful, polite and friendly until, waiting in a line for lunch, the new arrival is suddenly pushed aside by a man in a white coat, who rushes to the head of the line, grabs his food and stomps over to a table by himself. "Who is that?" the new arrival asked St. Peter. "Oh, that's God," came the reply, "but sometimes he thinks he's a doctor." If you are part of the group which you are addressing, you will be in a position to know the experiences and problems which are common to all of you and it'll be appropriate for you to make a passing remark about the inedible canteen food or the chairman's notorious bad taste in ties. With other audiences you mustn't attempt to cut in with humor as they will resent an outsider making disrespect remarks about their canteen or their chairman. You will be on safer ground if you stick to scapegoats like the Post Office or the telephone system. If you feel awkward being humorous, you must practice so that it becomes more natural. Include a few casual and apparently off-the-cuff remarks which you can deliver in a relaxed and unforced manner. Often it's the delivery which causes the audience to smile, so speak slowly and remember that a raised eyebrow or an unbelieving look may help to show that you are making a light-hearted remark. Look for the humor. It often comes from the unexpected. A twist on a familiar quote "If at first you don't succeed, give up" or a play on words or on a situation. Search for exaggeration and understatements. Look at your talk and pick out a few words or sentences which you can turn about and inject with humor.

单选题November 27 Dear Tammy, How are things with you? I've now established Karen Jones & Associates (KJA), an independent consulting practice that leverages my proven strengths in strategic planning, people development, creating and improving processes. and brand marketing. I work extensively with consumer product companies and also now with industries that are regrouping due to a merger or major change in their competitive situation. I help them manage the pressure to achieve more in their marketplace by realizing more out of the people and resources they have. What they say is of unique value to them is my expertise at creating new links between marketing, culture, and talent. This makes a company more efficient and successful. I'm really excited about how I can help companies address their business problems with what I do. I would love to get your input. I'm interested in your thoughts as to who in your circle could benefit from learning about what I do. You don't need to find out if they are hiring or have a definite need. I'm just interested in having a conversation with them to learn more about their marketing challenges and HR concerns and to share with them some innovative ways I've helped other companies achieve the most in those areas. If this sounds interesting, I'd appreciate your linking me to people you know. I will call you in a few days for a quick catch-up conversation. In the meantime, I've attached an information sheet about KJA and its practice areas. Please freely forward it now and any time to business contacts you think could be interested in knowing about this. Thanks, and I'm looking forward to catching up with you. Regards, Karen Jones

单选题According to South Korea"s new visa regulations, native speakers of English who intend to teach English in South Korea will be required to undergo criminal record checks, medical and drug tests, provide sealed academic transcripts and have their university diplomas inspected, The Korea Times has reported. The tightened regulations will affect an estimated 17000 foreigners that hold E-2 visas specifically for foreign language teachers. The most controversial requirement is that English teachers residing outside South Korea will have to have an interview at a South Korean embassy before taking up their teaching posts. For applicants living in remote areas in Canada, Australia or the US, this is an additional travel burden. Meanwhile, foreign teachers currently living in South Korea must leave the country after their one-year contracts end and renew their visas at a South Korean embassy in their home country or third country. Before the changes, they could renew their visas by visiting a neighboring country and return without additional documentation. The visa changes are a reaction to public concern about the suitability of some foreign teachers. A report from the South Korean Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development shows between 2001 and August of this year, 1481 foreign language teachers have been caught for a range of offenses including forged degrees, visa violations and general lawbreaking. But the changes are likely to slow up the supply of teachers to South Korea"s English language education sector. According to Michael Duffy, manager of a teacher placement service in South Korea, applicants have to spend a few hundred dollars and several months on getting affidavits for documents. "South Korea has put up too many hoops to jump through." he said, adding that foreigners would seek work elsewhere. Most foreigners wonder if the experience of working in South Korea will be worth the burden of the paper work and increasing restrictions. "I don"t think (South) Korea has thought this through." said Scott McInnis, a Canadian teacher based in Incheon near Seoul. "This is a reactionary move by the government that will have strong implications for the EFL community." As part of efforts to ease the discontent, the South Korean Ministry of Justice has granted a three-month grace period for current E-2 visa holders to prepare the necessary documents.
