Akio Morita, co-founder of the Sony Corporation, was born on January 26th,1921 and died on October 3rd, 1999 in Tokyo.
He created one of the truly global companies. His strategy(策略) was so successful that Sony was recently chosen as the number one brand name by American consumers (消费者), ahead of Coca-Cola and General Electric.
Morita had a comfortable childhood. He was the eldest son of a wealthy family from Nagoya. He trained as a physicist. Before he celebrated his 26th birthday, he had started his own company with a partner, Masaru Ibuka. In 1949 the company developed recording tape and 1950 sold the first tape recorder in Japan.

Well, the hours are very long and I have to work shifts (轮班), but I like my workmates and I enjoy the variety of the work. Every day is different, I suppose the main reason I like the job is the connection with patients. I like to help people, and my workmates are great, so that makes the job very rewarding. It?s certainly not the pay—that?s terrible! ---Martin I really enjoy my job, although there can be a lot of paperwork and I have to attend a lot of meetings. Preparing cases takes up a lot of my time, and can be very difficult. The best parts of the job are meeting clients (客户) and going to court. I work for a big international firm so there are
good opportunities for promotion (提拔) and I get to travel quite a lot, which is nice. --Bill
It?s an interesting job, but actually it?s very hard work as well. There?s also not much job safety. The pay is good, but sometimes I don?t work for a few weeks, so that can be a worry. I suppose I enjoy the travel, but sometimes there?s a lot of waiting around for photographers and stylists, which can be really boring. ---Jane
Some parts of the job are not very interesting, like filling shelves. Also, changing the window displays get a bit repetitive. I like dealing with people on the phone and face to face. My boss is a lovely person but he?s so badly organized. He usually gets me to deal with problem customers. Some people think I?m a workaholic, and it?s true I do a lot of overtime, but I like to do a job well
and I?m proud of my work. It?s a big chain so I hope I?ll become assistant manager next year. ---Justine
What I particularly like is that it?s a very flexible (灵活的) job, I can work from home some of the time. I find it exciting, meeting and interviewing different people. It?s also satisfying when you finish a long article and it?s published. I?ve got a book coming out next year as well. One thing about working on a monthly magazine is that I have a lot of tight deadlines (截止日期). That
-
makes the job very stressful. ---Emily 32. What does Martin like about his job? A. High pay. B. Lots of travel. C. Paid vacations.
D. Chances of helping others. 33. What worries Jane in her work? A. Long-hour work. B. A feeling of uncertainty. C. Disregard for her creativity. D. Reduced chances of promotion. 34. What can we infer about Justine? A. She is not fully appreciated. B. She thinks highly of her boss. C. She is dissatisfied with her job. D. She is hard-working and determined.
