TapeStore: A NEW TAPE STORAGE SYSTEM

TapeStore is a new kind of tape storage system which can store up to 6,000 computer tapes. No other tape storage system can hold as many computer tapes as TapeStore. The tapes look exactly like video cassettes. Many hundreds of data files can be stored on each tape, up to a maximum of 500 million bytes of data. If you stored the same amount of information on paper, you would need nearly 4.5 billion printed pages.

The machine is a tall black box with a mechanical arm. The machine is 2.5 metres high and 3 metres wide. This is how it works. Each tape has a code printed on it. You feed the code number into TapeStore, which then looks for the code. As soon as TapeStore locates the code, the arm reaches in and pulls out the tape.

The system is very fast. It takes the mechanical arm about 10 seconds to find the tape it is looking for. The machine then searches the tape to extract the required file, and this take Less than a minute. A human technician would have to locate and remove the tape by hand,and could take at least an hour to find the right file on the tape.

Some of the world's biggest companies, including banks, insurance companies,airlines, telephone companies, utilities and computer centres, have bought the system.They like it particularly because the system guarantees the security of their data.

TapeStore was originally developed in Canada and is now being marketed world-wide. In Europe alone, 750 have already been installed at a cost of 480,000 dollars each.

TapeStore is better than similar storage systems because

A．it can also take video cassettes.

B．it is much smaller.

C．it holds more information.

Questions 23-28

•Read the newspaper article below about Japanese investment.

•For each question (23-28), choose the correct answer.

•Mark one letter (A, B or C) on your Answer sheet.

JAPAN INCREASES TRADE AND INVESTMENT IN ASIA

Japan has been the most powerful country in Asia, but it had little trade with the region until now. Now, Japan is doing more trade with Asia than with the rest of the world.

In 1985, the US was Japan's main customer; Japan exported a third more to the US than to Asia. Now, Asia buys 30%more than the US and three times as much as Europe. Japanese imports from Asia increased by 150% between 1985 and 1995. Japan's imports amount to $ 60 billion from Asia in 1993, compared to $ 50 billion from the US and $ 24 billion from Europe.

In 1994, Japan invested $ 7.7 billion in Asia. During the next few years, 75% of Japan's direct investment will be there. Japanese investment in the region is now $ 64 billion, as against US investment of $ 26 billion, or German investment of $ 7 billion.

Thailand expects new Japanese investment to reach $ 8 billion by 1998. Already, Japan controls 90% of Thailand's auto market. Labour costs in Japan are high, so Japanese companies are setting up in countries where workers get paid much less; an increasing number of Japan's employees now live outside Japan.

Where was Japan's biggest export market in 1985？

A．Europe

B．The US

C．Asia

Questions 23-28

•Look at the article below about psychology in business and the questions.

•For each question (23-28) that follows, choose the correct answer.

•Mark one letter (A, B or C ) on you Answer Sheet.

Psychology in Business

Nowadays it is often not enough to be an expert in your own field of business, It helps to apply a little psychology to your business dealings. Some psychological study shows that all have different perceptions, which affect our expectations and attitudes in life in general and in our business dealings. Our attitudes and perceptions of other people affect our relationships with them.

Perceptions can often be more important than reality. When taking part in a business meeting or negotiation, it can be useful to think about how you see yourself in the business relationship. Some people perceive themselves as being in the stronger position, others consider themselves as a weaker. This immediately creates a win or lose situation. If people put themselves and their opposite number somewhere between the two positions, they are more likely to work together to find common interests and to end up with a win situation in which both parties achieve something. This outcome not only leaves people feeling satisfied but also contributes towards a successful, long-term relationship. In most business dealings, it is important to work on relationships and the establishment of rapport. This includes thinking about common interests, rather than conflicting positions.

It is useful, therefore, in a discussion to consider your opposite number's approach and to consider the best way of dealing with that person. If you're dealing with a skeptical person who does not like to take risks, you will need to build up his trust and enable him to have confidence in you. If you are dealing with various people of different professional backgrounds, it may help to consider varying your approach or presentation so that it is more relevant and interesting to the particular person with whom you are dealing. For example, people with a financial background often respond well to graphic input and a linear approach. So if you can adapt your approach to your customer or business colleague, he or she is more likely to identify with you and therefore cooperate with you.

According to the passage, our attitudes and perceptions of other people

A．have nothing to do with business dealings.

B．exert some influence on our relationships with them.

C．change greatly when we fail to reach an agreement in a business dealing.

Questions 23-28

•Read the newspaper article below about business telecard.

•For each question (23-28), choose the correct answer.

•Mark one letter (A, B or C) on your Answer Sheet.

BUSINESS TELECARD INTERNATIONAL

You can use your Business Telecard International at any card phone in the UK. Here is some information about making international phone calls.

You can now phone almost any country in the world, although in some cases you can only call major cities. When you cannot make direct dialling calls, you can ask the international operator to help you. This is more expensive and takes more time, but it may be helpful if you want to speak to a particular person and no one else; in this case you should ask for a “person-to-person” call. Even more expensive is a reverse charge call where the person who receives the call pays.

If the international line is busy, you can reserve a call; explain the number you want and the operator will call you back when the line is free.

You can save money by calling outside office hours, e.g. early in the morning, late at night, and on Sundays. Remember that the time may be different in the country you are calling. International time is based on GMT (Greenwich Mean Time); London is on GMT and Moscow, for example, is 3 hours ahead. There is one problem; change to DST (Daylight Saving Time) for the Summer. In the UK, clocks are put forward one hour in Spring and put back in Autumn, and so London is actually one hour ahead of GMT in the Summer. If you are unsure about the time, the operator-will help you.

You can use your Business Telecard International for domestic calls as well, but there will be an additional charge over the standard rate.

What is the most expensive type of call？

A．Reverse charge call.

B．Through the operator.

C．Direct dial.
