Conversation 1

W

：

Good

evening,

and

welcome

to

this

week

’

s

business

world,

the

program

for

and

about

business

people.

Tonight

we

have

Mr.

Steven

Kayne,

who

has

just

taken

over

and

established

bicycle shop. Tell us, Mr. Kayne, what made you want to run your own store?

M:

Well,

I

always

loved

racing

bikes

and

fixing

them.

When

I

was

working

full- time

as

a

salesman for a big company, I seldom had time to enjoy my hobby. I knew then that as soon as I

had enough money to get my own business going, I’ll do it. I had my heart set on it and I didn’t let

anything stand in

my way. When I went down to the bank and got a business loan, I knew I’d love

being my own boss. Now my time is my own. I open the store when I want and leave when I want.

W: Y

ou mean you don’t keep regular hours?

M: Well, the sign on my store says the

hours are ten to six, but if business is slower than usual, I

can just lock up and take off early.

W: Have you hired any employees to work with you yet?

M:

Y

eah, a couple of friends of mine who love biking as much as I do. They help me out a few

days

a

w

eek.

It’s

great

because

we

play

cards

or

just

sit

around

and

talk

when

there

are

no

customers.

W: Thank you, Mr. Kayne. We wish you success in your new business.

Question 19-22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

is the woman doing?

19.A)Hosting an evening TV program. C)Lecturing on business management.

B) Having her bicycle repaired. D)Conducting a market survey.

did Mr. Kayne do before he took over the bicycle shop?

Conversation 2

W: Well, the main activities in the region were historically steel and paper processing, I think.

M:

Y

es,

but

I’m

not

quite

sure

about

the

status

of

those

industries

now.

C

ould

you

tell

us

something about that?

W: Y

es, of course. In fact, they are less significant, but steel-related manufacturing still accounts

for 44% of industrial activity. So it’s still very important. In fact, 80% of Spain’s machine tools are

from the B

asque Country. As for paper processing, there’s still a little. But

it’s no longer what it

once was in the region. So, is that clear?

M: Y

es, thanks.

W: Now, to get back to what I was saying, there’s a lot of unemployment as well as geographical

problems in the region.

M: Sorry, V

ictoria. What do you mean by geographical problems?

W: Well, what I mean is the area is very hilly, mountainous in parts. So there used to be transport

problems, now though there are new train links and better roads, but it may be that some smaller

towns inland remain not very well connected, is that OK? Does that make sense? When we talk

about

specific

location

suggestions for

the factory, we’ll

see

this

in

more

detail,

so we’ll

come

back to this question, OK?

M: OK, right.

W: So I was about to say something about the work force in the region and the level of training

and education. In general, it’s very good and improving.

Question 23-25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

23. What does the woman say about the steel-related manufacturing in the region?

23.A)It has gradually given way to service industry

.

B)It remains a major part of industrial activity.

C)It has a history as long as paper processing.

D)It accounts for 80 percent of the region's GDP

.
