Paul knows that the deal will fall through if he doesn't get his act together quickly with the Chinese building suppliers.

However the second guarantee is that, even if Paul's company does start up on time but falls behind schedule (速度表) , it will cost his company 200, 000 pounds for every month lost. Paul thinks that is very hard and over the top, and he will have to look into it.

The groupspolitical partiesserved to organize and counterbalance the competing interests in society . The phrase "political party" comes in part from the Latin word " politics" meaning " wise in looking out for one's own interest". Today political scientists think of politics as any activity that resolves conflicting (对立的) value and interests. Politics has also been described as the art of compromise(妥协) .

We use the word "place" because so many of the things you can do online are similar to the things you can do wherever people gather togetherin homes , schools , libraries , shopping centers , or at family reunions or town meetings. The Net allows people to learn shop, find important information, and communicate, whether they're local, global or simply virtual (虚的) . The Web is useful. You can find old friends online. You can research and book flights, check the weather, find breaking news, find out information about schools and colleges. Yon can even place an order for books, CDs, computers and cars.

You can write to old friends or check out their web pages, enjoy web - based soap operas, laugh at online jokes, join in a live Net Event, chat with other Internet surfers(漫游者) , check to see if your name appears anywhere on the Web . Millions of users log on to the Net every day, and it's not just to do research. There's a lot of fun there. That's one reason why it's called web "surfing".

If you' re new to computers, it may take a while before you are completely comfortable with your browser. Don't worry. You don't have to be a computer whiz. The basics of a web browser are very much like the basics of modem computers -learning how to point and click the mouse, learning how to scroll up and down a page of text, and learning how to use pull - down menus.
