段落翻译: Before you make up your mind about which way to go, take a hard, honest look at your motivation for starting a company. Too many people are looking to get rich, escape the corporate grind, and work shorter hours with more free time. None of those reasons is likely to lead to success. If you are focused on solving a customer problem or need, believe you can do what you do better than anyone else, dying to work long hours, wear many hates, and juggle endless responsibilities, then you have the right startup mindset. You also need certain personality traits. One of them is a willingness to work very hard all by yourself, at least for the first year or so (and possibly longer).
听力原文:M: Jean, were you able to get that report all typed up?
W: Not yet, Mr. Black. Mrs. Farnsworth asked me to type some letters for her. I'll be finished pretty quick and then I'll start on that.
M: Don't forget I need it first thing in the morning. I have to take it along to Chicago to the regional meeting.
W: Don't worry, I'll get it done. My husband's on a business trip too. He's in Detroit today, and tomorrow he'll be in Boston. So I'm planning to stay late. After it's typed up I'll leave it on your desk. I should be finished by 8:00 pm.
M: I'm sorry to keep you so late.
W: It's all right, Mr. Black. I don't mind at all. Besides, I can use a little extra money. My husband's birthday is next month. I want to buy him a new watch.
M: What kind are you going to get him, a Bulova?
W: No. I thought I'd get a Rolex, or an Elgin. I don't really know much about watches.
M: I've got one of those Seiko digitals. I really like it.
W: Do you think my husband would like one like that?
M: I'm sure he would. The only problem is that it's a little bit heavy.
W: If it's that good, I think I'll go ahead and get him one.
M: Well, at least he won't get a tie. That's what I usually get.
W: Remember, it's the thought that counts.

听力原文:W: So what are the two main times of the day that you watch TV?
M: Well, a little around breakfast time and then it tends to be really late— eleven or even midnight—when I've finished work.
W: And what sort of programs do you go for?
M: Some news bulletins but I also really like to put my feet up with some of the old comedy shows.
W: Fine. And turning to the new channel...which type of programs would you like to see more of?
M: Well, I certainly don't think we need any more factual programs like news and documentaries. I think we need more about things like local in formation...you know, providing a service for the community. And in the same vein, perhaps more for younger viewers...you know, good quality stuff.
W: Ah ha. And if you had to give the new directors some specific advice when they set up the channel, what advice would you give theme
M: I think I'd advice them to pay more attention to the quality of the actual broadcast, you know, the sound system. They ought to do lots more of these kinds of interview, you know, talking with their potential customers.
W: Oh, I'm glad you think it's valuable!
M: Certainly...yeah.
W: Good. Ok, this will be a commercial channel of course, but how often do you think it is tolerable to have adverts?
M: Well out of that list I'd say every quarter of an hour. I don't think we can complain about that, as long as they don't last for ten minutes each time!
W: Quite. And…would you be willing to attend any of our special promotions for the new channel?
M: Yes, I'd be very happy to, as long as they're held here in my area.
W: Thank you very much for your time.

games or hanging from ropes?Traditionally,many organizations approach team building in this way but,then,they wonder why that wonderful sense of teamwork that has been displayed at the retreat or the seminar fails to impact long-term beliefs and actions back at work.
I'm not averse to retreats,planning sessions,seminars and team building activities-in fact I lead them-but they have to form part of a much larger teamwork effort.You will not build teamwork by“retreating”as a group for a couple of days each year,instead you need to think of team building as something you do every single day.
Form teams to solve real work issues and to improve real work processes.Provide training in systematic methods so the team expends its energy on the project,not on trying to workout how to work together as a team to approach the problem.
Hold department meetings to review projects and progress,to obtain broad input,and to coordinate shared work processes.If there is friction between team members,examine the work processes they mutually own-the problem is not usually their personalities; instead,it is often the fact that the team members haven't agreed on how they will deliver a product or service,or the steps required to get something done.
●Build fun and shared occasions into the organization's agenda-hold potluck lunches,take the team to a sporting event,sponsor dinner sat a local restaurant,go hiking or go to an amusement park.Hold a monthly company meeting,sponsor sports teams and encourage cheering team fans.
●Use icebreakers and teamwork exercises at meetings-these help team members get to know each other,share details about each other's lives,and have a laugh together.
●Celebrate team successes publicly.There are many ways you could do this,for instance by buying everyone the same T-shirt or hat,putting team member names in a draw for company merchandise and gift certificates.The only thing limiting you is your imagination.
If you do the types of teamwork building listed above,you'll be amazed at the progress you will make in creating a teamwork culture,a culture that enables individuals to contribute more than they ever thought possible-together.
1.Team building event is traditionally related to playing games at resort.
2.The author claims that playing games together is as important as forming teams to solve real work issues and to improve real work processes for team building.
3.“Retreat”in the first paragraph means withdrawal of troops after a defeat.
4.Ice breaking motivates team members to compete with each other.
5.A good teamwork culture enables individuals to make more efforts together.
