Merger (合并) speculation that has been widespread throughout the industry for months has focused on a possible Volvo-Ford linkup since a report last week that Volvo had hired a Wall Street investment bank to explore a possible sale. Fords board meeting was to be held in Dearborn, the Detroit suburb where Ford is headquartered. Chief spokesman Vaughn Koshkarian declined to comment on the agenda or the Volvo rumors. President Jac Nasser, speaking at an industry conference Tuesday night, also declined to say where Ford was negotiating with Volvo. But Nasser again said Ford was open to using its more than $ 20 billion cash reserve to expand the companys global reach. Last years acquisition of Chrysler by Daimler-Benz led to a panic of talks among automakers looking to strengthen their position in an industry beset (困扰) with too much production capacity worldwide. The conventional wisdom is that smaller automakers will be ill-equipped to compete in the 21st century as the industry becomes dominated by several international automakers. Volvo, one of the worlds smaller automakers, produces less than 500,000 vehicles annually. Last year it sold 100,227 cars in the United States, one of its largest markets. Ford reportedly has been courting Nissan Motor which is in debt as well, and turned down an offer last month for a 20% share in the Japanese automaker. Ford also lost in bidding late last year for financially troubled Kia Motors of Korea. Analysts (分析家) say Ford and Volvo are a better fit. "The Volvo thing is more practical than anything else," said analyst David Healy of Burnham Securities. "Ford, which is becoming good at cost-effectively developing a variety of very different cars with the same basic chassis (底盘) and major parts, could help Volvo expand its product line," Girsky said. "If you could bring a premium price," he said, "Ford has similarly expanded Jaguars vehicle line since it bought the British Luxury automaker in 1989." Girsky, however, does not expect Ford to overbid for Volvo. "They had every opportunity in the world to buy Kia Motors and they walked away from it because the price got too high," he said. "I dont think Ford needs Volvo; it would be nice to have Volvo, but only at the right price.Which of the following is TRUE about FordAIts last years acquisition of Chrysler led to a panic of talks.BIt is planning to acquire British luxury automaker Jaguar.CIt has acquired Nissan by constantly paying debt for Nissan.DIt has failed in acquiring financially troubled Kia of Korea. 4.Many successful business executives do not follow the standard method for problem solving in business. Typically, business schools teach their students to first clarify goals, assess the problem, formulate options and estimate the chances of success before making a decision. Conversely, many real world business decisions are made based on what some senior executives call intuition (直觉). They use hunches (预感) and educated guesses to manage large global companies where different departments, networks of information, and complex chains of command force todays manager to integrate action into the process of analysis. Historically, business writers have recognized that some managers rely heavily on intuition. For the most part, however, business writers and the faculty at business schools often display a poor grasp of what intuition is and how it is used. Instead, they see it as the opposite of rationality. More recent research, however, demonstrates that executive intuition is not that case. Rather, executives use intuition in a number of ways. First, they intuitively sense when a problem exists. They then rely on intuition to implement well-learned responses quickly. This type of decision-making process is based on years of practice, hand-on experience, and a finely practised sense of when to make a quick decision and when to wait for more information. Intuition also allows executives to make decisions based on the "big picture": a complete integrate understanding of how decisions will affect all facets of the business enterprise. In this way, some managers use intuition as a kind of "gut check" on the results of more rational analysis. Finally, in todays fast-paced business world, intuition allows managers to make decisions quickly and effectively without relying on costly and time-consuming in-depth analyses. One of the implications of this style of management is that thinking cannot be separated from acting. "I often know what the answer is even before I see the analysis, says one sales manager, "sometimes in business you need to cat first and explain your actions later." Given the uncertainty of many of the management issues that they face, senior managers often take a course of action simply to learn more about an issue. Action actually helps them develop a more complete understanding of the issue. With more and more companies relying on their executives to see the "big picture" and think outside the box, traditional decision-making strategies may be one of the casualties (牺牲品) of globalization.According to the passage, how do the executives use intuitionAThey make deep analysis of a problem.BThey use experience to make decisions.CThey evaluate various factors and make employees understand the big picture.DThey spend much money and time in the process of decision making. 5.Stress in CollegeMost students in US colleges are just plain stressed out, from everyday worries about grades and relationships to darker thoughts of suicide, according to a poll of undergraduates from coast to coast. The survey was conducted for the Associated Press and MFVU, a television network available at many colleges and universities. Students Stress Problem Four in 10 students say they endure stress often. Nearly one in five say they feel it all or most of the time. But most are bearing it. Nearly 60% in the survey say they enjoy life. The majority cite classic stress symptoms including trouble concentrating, sleeping and finding motivation. Most say they have also been disturbed, worried, too tired to work. "Everything is being piled on at once," said Chris Curran, a junior at the Albany College of Pharmacy (制药) in Albany, N.Y. tie said he has learned to cope better since starting school. "You just get really disturbed and anxious. Then you start procrastinating (拖延), and it all piles up." Many cite eating problems and say they have felt lonely, depressed, like they are failures. Substantial numbers are even concerned about spring break, chiefly not having enough money or being in good physical shape. More than a quarter of the students sometimes think they should cut down on drinking or going out. A third say they, sometimes want to use drugs or alcohol to relax. About 15% say theyre at least somewhat concerned about drinking too much on spring break. One in five say they have felt too stressed to do schoolwork or be with friends. About the same number say things have been so bad ill the past three months that they have seriously considered dropping out of school. Darker still, about one in six say they have friends who in the past year have discussed committing suicide, and about one in 10 say they have seriously considered it themselves. Friends have actually tried to end their lives in that time, one in 10 say. In this ocean of campus anxiety, 13% say they have been diagnosed with a mental health condition such as depression or an anxiety disorder. Of that group, two-thirds say they always or usually follow their treatment, one-tenth say they have been unable to stick to it, and the rest are not on a plan. The perils (危险) of halting treatment were highlighted last month when police said the girlfriend of Steven Kazmierczak, who fatally shot five people and then himself at Northern Illinois University, told them he had stopped taking medication. Six in 10 in the survey say they are usually hopeful and enjoy life. Half even concede they feel understood by their families.What Causes the Stress Problem Even so, the survey shows plenty of sources of stress, led by the seven in 10 students who attribute it to school work and grades. Financial problems are close behind, while relationships and dating, family problems and extracurricular activities all are named by half as adding pressure. College women have a more stressful existence than men, with 45% of females and 34% of males saying they face pressure often. The youngest students cite frequent stress most often. Whites report more stress than blacks and Hispanics. From schoolwork to dating, women are more possible than men to say they experience pressure from virtually every potential source of distress in the survey. Six in 10 women and just four in 10 men say family issues cause problems, though the differences between the sexes in most areas are slimmer. Besides balancing her approaching graduation with the 20-hour-per-week job that helps finance school, Jeanette Devereaux-Weber said she has a new pressure: beginning her post-college life. She has not decided what to do." It doesnt feel like looking for a summer job anymore, its looking for a career, its things that will shape everything to come," she said. "Sometimes it feels like you have to make the right choice right away or you will be behind everyone else."How to Solve the Stress Problem The poll shows a spotty sense among students of how to find assistance handling pressure. Just over half say they are sure whom they would turn to for help. Only one in seven say they were very familiar with the counseling offered at their schools. Overall, 26% of students say they have considered talking to a counselor or getting other professional help. Just 15% say they have actually done so. Professional help, though, is not on a top students lists when they need help. Three-quarters say they would be most likely to turn to friends; nearly two-thirds cite their parents and half say they would talk to brothers or sisters. Only one in five say they would seek out school counselors. Of the 9% who said they had considered suicide in the past year, only half. said they had considered talking to a counselor or professional and four in 10 had actually received such help.
