BEC 中高级听力口语训练材料
001. Discrimination in the workplace 工作场合中的歧视
Listen to Mr Griffin, a Human Resources expert, talking about discrimination in the
workplace. While you are listening, decide whether the following statements are true
or false according to w hat Mr Griffin says.
Statement True or False?
1. Although diversity is being dealt with, it is still an important
concern for employers.
2. A growing number of people are suing employers because they
feel discriminated against because of their age.
3. Insurance to cover discrimination claims is an enormous cost for
companies.
4. Securit y firms sometimes discriminate against people because
of their age.
5. Employers cannot discriminate against job applicants who
have been convicted of any crime.
Radio interviewer Tell me, Mr. Griffin are diversity risks really still an issue? Aren ’ t
companies these days dealing with diversity?
Alan Griffin Oh yes they are very much an issue. ... We have come a long way since
those days when employers were allowed to discriminate against job candidates just
because of their race or their sex. The trouble is ... the boundaries of diversity and
discrimination ...... are widening. Companies have a lot more to consider than a
person ’ s skin colour or a person ’ s gender .
Radio interviewer So ... can you give listeners an example of what kind of things you
are referring to here?
Alan Griffin Okay ... let ’ s see .... well, one growing area of discrimination is ageism. In
1998, companies in the United States had to pay out more than fifty-five million dollars
to employers who had filed age related discrimination complaints against their
companies. That ’ s a lot of money.
Radio interviewer Phew ... … so how should companies protect themselves from this
kind of thing?
Alan Griffin Well, first of all they should think carefully about their recruitment policies
and then they should take out insurance to cover themselves.
Radio interviewer Isn ’ t that expensive? ... for the companies, I mean.
BEC 中高级听力口语训练
2
Alan Griffin No, not as expensive as you might think. These days most small and
medium sized organisations take out EPLI ... that ’ s Employment Practices Liability
Insurance. The cost of the insurance has fallen over the years and if a company isn ’ t
covered and loses a discrimination case ... well, let ’ s just say this is the cheaper option!
Radio interviewer You’ ve mentioned ageism as a growing concern ... but what other
kinds of diversity should managers be aware of?
Alan Griffin Well ... you ’ d probably be surprised to hear about some ... discrimination
against single people against married parents, against people who are too tall, too
short, too heavy ...
Radio interviewer Really...
Alan Griffin Oh yes. Security firms are a good example here. They typically state that
their employees need to be over or under a certain height or weight, They claim it ’ s
necessary for the job .... but there have been cases where people have claimed
discrimination.
Radio interviewer And won?
Alan Griffin Sometimes yes. ........ Then there are people with a criminal background.
Employers used to feel justified in turning away job applicants just because they ’ d
been in trouble with the law.
Radio interviewer Isn ’ t that still the case?
Alan Griffin No .... not exactly. The law states that employers can only r eject a job
applicant with a criminal record ... if the crime bears a direct relation to the job in
question. So .... somebody who has served a sentence for ... let ’ s say stealing cars ...
would be alright in a job as a kitchen porter.
Radio interviewer And Mr. Griffin, tell me .... how many people actually go through
with their threats to sue a company for discrimination?
Alan Griffin Well I haven ’ t got the latest figures for the UK but in the United States the
Equal Opportunities Commission receive around eight y five thousand complaints
every year ... and that figure is rising. Race and sex account for most of the complaints
that are filed but age discrimination is on the increase too.
Radio interviewer So ... any words of advice for risk managers?
Alan Griffin Well ... first of all make sure that you have adequate insurance. Then

address the issues of diversity from within the organisation. Get the employees
involved. Celebrate the differences and try to build up a reputation as a fair employer.
And remember .... it is worth investing time and effort in addressing these issues
because statistics have shown that ..... you ’ re much more likely to be sued by an
employee than a third party.

002. A lecture in Marketing 市场营销讲演
Listen to a university lecturer introduce his course on Marketing. While you are
listening, try to decide whether these sentences are true or false.
Sentence True or false
1. There will be three marketing lectures a week until the end of
term.
2. Today ’s lecture looks at pricing.
3. Marketing is about advertising.
4. A customer focused organisation may not have a marketing
department.
5. In a customer focused organisation only marketing staff think
about customers.
6. Employees need to work as a team to deliver customer
satisfaction.
7. Everyone needs to know how satisfied customers are.
Good morning everybody and welcome to this the first lecture on Marketing. I ’ ll
be giving two lectures a week on this important business topic at this time on
Tuesdays and Fridays until term ends. Right, well this morning I like to introduce ’d
you to some important concepts in marketing. As you know there are lots of
different elements that go together to make up Marketing, we ’ ll look at the key
BEC 中高级听力口语训练
4
elements during this course of lectures. I ’ d like to start with a general introduction
today.
In general terms marketing is all about making links or contacts between
producers and consumers. To make these links it ’ s very important to find out and
then deliver exactly what consumers want. What is a consumer? A consumer is a
person or organisation that buys a product, it ’ s as simple as that. Once again
marketing is all about finding out and then delivering what consumers want in a
profitable way. ‘In a profitable way ’ –this is obvious you may think, a company
won’ t last long if it delivers what customers want and loses money at the same
time, well in fact it ’ s not quite as easy to achieve as you may think. We ’ ll be
looking at the issue of pricing later in this series of lectures.
A c ompany should aim to satisfy their customers needs, good marketing helps ’
the company to achieve this. I like to add an extra element now ’d –a company
should aim to satisfy their customers better ’ needs than their competitors do.
Again, we ’ ll look at the topic of competition, how to measure it and react to it
later in this series of lectures.
Today I want to introduce you to the concept of a customer focused organisation.
A customer focused organisation is an organisation that takes the concerns of its
customers seriously. There may be a marketing department in a customer focused
organisation, if we ’ re talking about a small company there may not be one. One
thing that all customer focused organisations have in common is that marketing,
satisfying the needs of the organisation ’ s customers, is the concern of every
employee. Everybody who works for this sort of company knows very well who
their customers are and each employee works as a team to deliver a higher
degree of customer satisfaction than their competitors.
‘How do we measure customer satisfaction? ’ I hear you asking, well...
Sentence True or false
1. There will be three marketing lectures a week until the end of
term.
False
2. Today ’s lecture looks at pricing. False
3. Marketing is about advertising. False
4. A customer focused organisation may not have a marketing
department.
True
5. In a customer focused organisation only marketing staff think
about customers.
False
6. Employees need to work as a team to deliver customer
satisfaction.
True
7. Everyone needs to know how satisfied customers are. True
