Part II Translate the following passages into Chinese.
Passage 1
Most Americans believe someone isn’t grown up until age 26, probably with a completed education, a full-time job, a family to support and financial independence, a survey said.
But they also believe that becoming an official grown-up is a process that takes five years from about the age of 20, concluded the report from the University of Chicago’s National Opinion Research Center. The findings were based on a representative sample of 1398 people over age 18.
The poll found the following ages at which people expect the transitions to grown-up status to be completed: age 20.9 self-supporting; 21.1 no longer living with parents; 21.2 full-time job; 22.3 education complete; 24.5 being able to support a family financially; 25.7 married; and 26.2 having a child.
“There is a large degree of consensus across social groups on the relative importance of the seven transitions,” said Tom Smith, director of the survey. The only notable pattern of differences is on views about supporting a family, having a child and getting married. “Older adults and the widowed and married rate these as more important than younger adults and the never-married do,” he added. “This probably reflects in large part a shift in values across generations away from traditional family values.”
The most valued step toward reaching adulthood, the survey found, was completing an education, followed by full-time employment, supporting a family, financial independence, living independently of parents, marriage and parenthood.

Passage 2
Spend less than you earn. This is perhaps the most worn out, overused phrase in the world of personal finance. But guess what? It’s also the single most important financial lesson you’ll ever learn. No matter how hard you work and how much money you earn, you’ll never achieve financial security if you spend more than you earn, so…… do whatever it takes to make sure that this doesn’t happen. This takes self-discipline, and might require constructing a budget, but if you ever want to get to a point where you can afford all the little niceties in life, you need to make it happen.
Plan for the future. I’ve been where you are, and I know that “the future” seems like it’s a million miles away. Do yourself a favor. Sit down and define short, intermediate, and long-term goals and then put together a plan for getting there. It’s not easy, and you probably won’t get it right at first but once you do this, you’ll have something concrete to work from (and to modify in the future). Start small and work your way up.
Be patient. Building a solid financial foundation takes time. Don’t look for shortcuts or try to strike it rich overnight with the latest hot investment tip. Likewise, don’t make major financial decisions without fully considering the ramifications. This isn’t to say that you should be paralyzed fear. Rather, you need to do your homework. Turn those unknowns into knowns, and then make an informed decision.
Learn form your mistakes. Nobody’s perfect. You’re bound to make mistakes, especially when you’re just starting out. The important thing is to learn from them and move forward. If you make a bad financial decision, make a note of it and get yourself back on track. Don’t beat yourself up , and don’t throw in the towel.

2. Relationship power derives from the network of contacts and friends that you make, develop, and maintain at work; from coworkers who keep you up to date with the goings-on in their part of the organization, to executives who seek you out for special projects—and everyone in between.
3. Position power is directly related to where you reside on your company’s organizational chart. Owners, presidents, and CEOs have plenty of position power, while receptionists, clerks, and laborers typically have little or none.
4. Knowledge power is based on the special expertise and knowledge that you have of your job, your departments, or your organization.
5. Task power is inherent in the jobs you are assigned at work. Some work is by nature more important to the health of the organization than other. For example, salespeople, whose job is to bring in money by selling its products or services, usually have high task power.
You can leverage any source of power you have to build your base of power in another source.

Passage 1
Advertising is a big business these days. Billions of dollars are spent every year to persuade customers to buy one brand of product rather than another. We are all exposed to such advertisements every day and their effect on us can not be denied. While it is true that some advertisements do provide useful information about new products, I believe that their primary effect is to encourage people to buy things that they don’t really need.
First of all, most advertising does not introduce a brand-new product. Instead, it is designed to persuade customers that one company’s product is superior to that of another company. Second, when a product is new, the advertising is often designed to create demand for it. In other words, its goal is to convince potential buyers that this new product is really necessary, whether or not it actually is. Third, many advertisements are image ads, designed to sell people luxury products. The ads imply that by buying such products the customer will gain something else such as happiness, respect or love. These ads not only try to sell things that people do not really need, but promise something that can not be bought. Finally, if there is new information about a product or development, people will hear about it through word of mouth, and in my opinion, this is a more reliable source of information.
While it can be argued that advertising is sometimes useful to customers who may want to compare different brands, I believe its overall effect is to get people to buy things that they don’t need. That is not to say that the advertisements are deceptive. They are simply designed to create a need for the product among consumers. Therefore, we should all look at advertisements with a critical eye in order to avoid buying things that are not necessary.

Passage 2
The objective of logistics system is to minimize relevant logistics costs while delivering maximum customer service. Recently, firms have begun to realize that logistics costs are also dependent on their relationship with suppliers, carriers, and customers. This has led to the practice of forming “strategic alliances” between buyers, sellers and the transportation system that connects them. For example, we noted earlier that Target stores eliminated $400 million worth of inventory from its system while maintaining 99 percent of its products in stock. Target was not able to accomplish this alone----it needed the cooperation of suppliers and carriers to set up special procedures allowing more frequent deliveries of smaller shipments at scheduled times. Shipments must be arranged and labeled in a specific way, so they can be moved through the distribution center with a minimum of re-handling. In some cases shipments may be delivered directly to the retail store, bypassing the distribution center.
Such strategic alliances are often supported by sophisticated information systems that involve shared databases of customer information and electronic data interchange, computer linked in two different firms to transit documents such as purchase orders, bills of lading, and invoices.

Passage 1
国际货币基金组织旳重要作用是协助组员国处理国际收支平衡问题，从而防止发生货币危机。例如，一种小国可能碰到暴风雨袭击，使其重要出口农作物大量减产。由于出口货品大量短缺，该国所得到旳外汇就会比往常少得多，成果就会出现国际收支逆差。这个国家必要旳进口货品旳支付就可能发生困难，因为国家储备中无法拿出足够旳外汇。在没有外援旳状况下，可能有两种措施处理支付问题：由于国际需求减少，它可以让本国货币贬值；它也可以采用外汇管制旳措施，防止汇率下跌。然而这两种措施似乎都很过激，因为该国面临旳问题是十分短暂旳。
