(9) Most people want to feel that their nation's borders are secure and that law and order will prevail in their communities. But few people can afford to buy an army or maintain a le gal system.

填空题I shall cancel the contract.
______
填空题
填空题The Importance of Contract Contract law is (31) great importance in business and in everyday life. Even though most of us are unaware of it, we enter into a (32) number of binding contracts every day. Ordinary business transactions such as buying a pack of gum at the corner grocery store, purchasing a ticket at a movie theater, or ordering a meal at a restaurant all involve valid contracts that pro vide the concerned parties (33) certain rights and duties. A contract is a legally enforceable promise between two or more people. (34) all con tracts contain enforceable promises, not all promises between people result in contracts. There are many promises made (35) people that the courts will not enforce. For example: Tom invites Lily to dinner and Lily (36) Tom is looking (37) to the date and can think of little else all day long. A half hour before Tom was to pick her up, Lily calls him and tells him that she will not be able to keep their date since Rose has (38) her to go dancing and she has accepted. Tom is upset, hurt, and quite angry. He'd (39) to sue her for breach of contract, since she has clearly broken a promise made to him earlier that day. Will he succeed? Lily may not be a very nice person; she has broken a promise to a friend and needlessly hurt his feelings in the process. She may have had a moral obligation to attend the dinner date; nevertheless, she had no legal obligation to do so. The agreement she breached was not a con tract, (40) merely a social obligation that the courts will not enforce.

填空题 How effective is your marketing? Gone are the days when companies had departments full of staff whose role nobody understood. Today we are all accountable and have to be able to demonstrate the value of our contribution to our businesses. And rightly so. But when it comes to marketing, what is effectiveness, how do you measure it, and why is its measurement so important? Businesses are starting to recognise the key marketing questions. Are we providing the right products for the right people at the right price? Are our brands better than those of our competitors? (9) That's because marketing is not the fluffy stuff that can be axed when the going gets tough - it is the essence of business. So if marketing is important, it follows that it pays to know if yours is working. The first stage in the process is understanding your current position. How successful is your brand today? What is your market share? You should equip yourself with some sound facts and figures on which to base your conclusions. (10) It could be simply to boost sales. You may want to reinforce your leadership in a market or trounce a competitive brand. Influencing future profitability, possibly by building a short-term brand share, may be a priority. A clear objective is essential. But how do you know if your marketing is achieving your goals? (11) Their success is not just related to how many boxes leave the factory. Effectiveness may not be tangible. It may be financial, it may not. 'The brand' is an intangible asset, but it is now seen as an important one. Quantifying the value of an intangible asset is a difficult, but not impossible, task. It is also necessary to evaluate both long-term effectiveness and the short-term outcomes of any campaign. (12) But the care of a brand is a marathon, not a sprint, and it is important not to lose sight of the long-term consequences. Choosing the right measurement tools to evaluate a campaign is another important issue. (13) The accuracy they thus ensure should be consistent over time and correspond to the wider objectives of the business. Ultimately, marketing must deliver profit. The essential debate should no longer be about the importance of marketing, but what we should do to measure its effectiveness, and what measures will ensure survival. (14) But to others it is likely to be a controversial issue - and one which can produce responses leading to widely different directions for their enterprises.A Having done that, next comes establishing what it is that marketing activities should be achieving.B Because of this, you may want to generate return on investment, perhaps by raising the quality of your brand.C This shift in focus will be taken as read by the most successful businesses.D Addressing such issues should mean that profits take care of themselves.E Concerning the latter, it may be tempting to be seduced by efforts that yield quick results and satisfy investor pressure for immediate returns.F These should be precise and based on empirical data.G Good strategies are not necessarily linked to production or sales figures.H Today we are all accountable and have to be able to demonstrate the value of our contribution to our businesses.

填空题·Read the article below about recruiting.·Choose the best sentence from

letter (A-H) on your Answer Sheet.·Do not use any letter more than once.
{{B}}Hiring Wisely{{/B}} Evaluating a person's relational
abilities is a bit more difficult. Try the following techniques to ferret out a
candidate's skills in the four dimensions of interpersonal work.
If you find yourself wanting to hire the candidate regardless of his
talents, he's probably a master in the influence dimension. Some other
signs to look for include a history of being elected to leadership positions and
a broad and deep professional network -- especially outside the person's current
place of employment. People who score high on influence frequently serve on the
boards of relevant professional and social organizations. During the interview,
pose questions with no right answer and then assess how confidently and
persuasively the candidate expresses himself. {{U}}(9) {{/U}} Did it
have anything to do with influencing a decision? When you want
to assess a candidate's adeptness at interpersonal facilitation, try asking him
to describe a work situation in which two people were in conflict. {{U}}(10)
{{/U}} Next, look for evidence of broad and deep personal and professional
networks, especially inside his current place of employment. {{U}}(11)
{{/U}} Finally, ask him to describe a job that he wouldn't want to do--not
for lack of competence but for personal reasons. Would that position require an
uncomfortable level of toughness toward other people, such as managing a
turnaround in which a number of employees will lose their jobs?
To determine whether someone is relationally creative, start by having him
describe a favorite advertising campaign, slogan, or image, and then have him
explain why he loved it and found it so effective. Ask the candidate to
describe a time when he was "in the flow"-- so immersed in his work that he lost
track of time- and see whether he cites a task that required a high level of
relational creativity. {{U}}(12) {{/U}} People who score high in this
dimension frequently give creative or offbeat answers. {{U}}
(13) {{/U}} So be sure to ask the candidate about activities outside
work and see if he holds a leadership role in any of them. Ask him, too, to
describe his ideal job. Probe for details such as how many people he would be
interacting with and in what way. Next, have him describe the best customer
service operation he's ever experienced, either as an employee or as a customer.
Notice how excited he gets while discussing it. {{U}}(14) {{/U}} Is he
someone who inspires you to go out and give it your all? If so, he's got a
special talent in the team leadership dimension.A And since most
people who excel in this dimension participate in some kind of good cause, ask
him to talk about his experiences in that realm.B If you find
yourself wanting to hire the candidate regardless of his talents, he's probably
a master in the influence dimension.C Another way to gauge his
interest and ability in this dimension is to ask about a peak moment he's had at
work.D People talented in this area usually have a long history of
involvement with groups -- for instance, sports teams or social clubs.E
In fact, pay close attention to how much energy and enthusiasm the person
exhibits during your conversation generally.F Finally, ask what other
careers he has considered.G Someone who's talented in this dimension
will offer an insightful explanation of what might have been going on under the
surface of the disagreement.H People who are skillful in this respect
are more talkative and persuasive.

填空题That The desire to become more strategic that has been espoused by recruiting
Over leaders for more than over a decade, and yet, year after year, newly introduced

42.have nearly doubled in size when you look at the steps involved in, but no one

45.the matter is that 90 percent of the work is administrative or tactical at its best. There"s
46.nothing wrong with tactical work; it does for the most part generate a
47.positive return in the short term. But let there be no doubt on that a truly strategic
48.recruiting function would do a fraction of what typically gets done and a lot more

填空题On the brink The New York Times was once the best example of all that was great about American newspapers.Now it symbolizes the difficult situation the whole industry is fecde with.The Grey Lady's circulation is tumbling down another 3.9%according to the latest data from America's Audit Bureau of Circulations (ABC). (9) . Pick almost any American newspaper company and you can tell a similar story.The ABC reported that for the 530 biggest daily newspapers,average circulation in the past six months was 3.6%lower than in the same period a year earlier.As for Sunday papers.it was 4.6%lower.Ad revenues are plunging across the board:by 22.3%at Media General,for example.In 2007 total newspaper revenues fell to$42.2 billion. (10) . Much of this decline is being blamed on the rise of the internet,which offers free,round-the-clock coverage.What's more,Internet has provided a new,better home for classified advertising,which was once the source of most newspapers'revenue. (11) .The number one cause is the troublesome housing market,which contributes a large slice of classified advedising. Industry experts such as Lucas Rich Fine of Kent State University do not think that the Times is responding forcefully enough. (12) Mr.Fine also points out that although all newspapers are being affected by the internet,their ability to respond will probably depend on whether their audiences are national,metropolitan or local.The first category can afford to invest in distinctive international or business coverage,while the last can prosper by becoming'more intensely local'.But he fears that the big metropolitan newspapers may find themselves trapped in the middle. Not all is lost,however. (13) .For instance,a number of newspapers are becoming'information and connection utilities',through such offerings as local internet forums.The Pocono Record has renamed reporters'content managers',since they oversee all the coverage of their beat,both in print and online,and get a bonus for higher web traffic. The hero for industry optimists is Brian Tierney,a former publicrelations executive.Last year,he led a group of investors that borrowed heavily to buy Philadelphia's two main dailies. (14) .He is also finding new ways to drum up advertising,such as introducing a business column sponsored by a local bank.A.Certainly,it was not something to be sniffed at,but much less than the peak of$48.7 billion in 2000.B.However,some of the fall in revenues is actual-ly due to the economic slowdown in America.C.Its advertising revenues are down,too,12.5% lower in March than a year earlier.D.He has since revived them with a vigorous marketing drive.E.Nevertheless,as a major newspaper,it still boasts a welleducated readership.F.Plenty of innovation is taking place,particularly at local papem.G.‘Now is the time to beef up its business section,’he says.H.Now it symbolizes the difficult situation the whole industry is faced wit
