An open letter to the GE staff

Dear fellows,

I wanted to write you today about news that GE is being removed from the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA). The DJIA is a 100 year-ago index(指數(shù)) that is meant to be a(n)1 sample of American business. It is a largely symbolic index and our inclusion is a function(函數(shù)) of our share price relative to others.

That said, GE is the longest-standing member and that is something I have always been proud of. I know all of you have been, too. While we were not aware of the announcement, it is not a total surprise. I have tried at every step to share with you our 2 but also the things we need to improve. That is what we are working on most. Our membership in the Dow is something that 3 our past, not our future.

Let me tell you how I am thinking about this. When I first heard the news, I had the same 4 as all of you probably did. But it quickly triggered my 5 side—the side of me that is deeply rooted in my love and respect for the company.

As a company 6 to technology and making an impact on the world, I would put us up against any company in the world. We 7 1/3 of the world’s electricity and two out of every three flights take off with GE engines. We have the largest install base of life-saving imaging equipment. We are a fundamental part of the day to day life across the globe. The world counts on GE and we are there to answer that 8 .

We have been making hard decision about our company. In life there are only two ways to deal with hard things. One is to give in and give up and the other is to fight. I am more than up for the fight. This is our chance to show the world what we can do—stare into the face of skepticism(懷疑主義) and cynicism(吹毛求疵) about GE and meet it with confidence, pride in the company and a(n)9 amount of hard work and resolve.

I said two things in my annual letter to shareowners: first, it is the people inside the company who shape GE, not the people outside and second, people who bet against us to do so as their own 10 .

Let us use to remind the world that GE is a company that matters to the world. We are going to win this flight.

Thanks for your dedication and hard work.

6考查非謂語動詞。句意:作為一家致力于技術并對世界產(chǎn)生影響的公司,我會讓我們與世界上任何一家公司競爭。be committed to表示“致力于”,此處去掉be作后置定語,故填H。

7考查動詞。句意:我們發(fā)電量占世界的三分之一,每三個航班中就有兩個使用通用電氣發(fā)動機起飛。此處用動詞作謂語,根據(jù)“two out of every three flights take off with GE engines.”可知此處表示“發(fā)電”,故填A

9考查形容詞。句意:這是我們向世界展示我們能做什么的機會,讓我們正視對通用電氣的懷疑和冷嘲熱諷,用對公司的信心、自豪和大量的努力和決心來應對它。修飾名詞amount用形容詞,根據(jù)“amount of hard work and resolve.”可知此處表示“大量的”,填B。

10考查名詞。句意:那些做空我們的人是在冒自己的風險。作介詞as的賓語用名詞,as one's own risks表示“自擔風險”,故填K。

Last Friday I saw the worst weather in years. In the morning, the sun was completely blocked so that I could see something clearly. I stayed at home, look outside. That came into sight was a flash of lightning. Seconds later, the noise of thunder broke the silent. Then a strong wind starts to blow into my room. Pieces of paper on my desk was blown high into the air and some flew out the open window. Then I closed the window when it rained hard and near broke my window.

What a bad weather! I hate it so I can’t go out to play.
