一、什么是全国英语等级考试？它分哪几个级别？各级别的定位是什么？

全国英语等级考试(Public English Test System，简称PETS)是教育部考试中心设计并负责的全国性英语水平考试体系。作为中、英两国政府的教育交流合作项目，在设计过程中它得到了英国专家的技术支持。共有五个级别：

PETS 1是初始级，通过该级考试的考生，其英语基本符合诸如出租车司机、宾馆行李员、门卫、交通警等工作，以及同层次其他工作在对外交往中的基本需要。(其中PETS 1下设一个附属级PETS 1B)

PETS 2是中下级，通过该级考试的考生，其英语水平基本满足进入高等院校继续学习的要求，同时也基本符合诸如宾馆前台服务员、一般银行职员、涉外企业一般员工，以及同层次其他工作在对外交往中的基本需要。

PETS 3是中间级，通过该级考试的考生，其英语已达到高等教育自学考试非英语专业本科毕业水平或符合普通高校非英语专业本科毕业的要求，基本符合企事业单位行政秘书、经理助理、初级科技术人员、外企职员的工作，以及同层次其他工作在对外交往中的基本需要。

PETS 4是中上级，通过该级考试的考生，其英语水平基本满足攻读高等院校硕士研究生非英语专业的需要，基本符合一般专业技术人员或研究人员、现代企业经理等工作对英语的基本要求。

PETS 5是最高级，通过该级考试的考生，其英语水平基本满足在国外攻读硕士研究生非英语专业或从事学术研究工作的需要。该水平的英语也能满足他们在国内外从事专业和管理工作的基本需要。

这五个级别的考试标准建立在同一能力量表上，相互之间既有明显的区别又有内在的联系。

二、全国英语等级考试(PETS)的性质是什么？由什么机构举办？

全国英语等级考试是面向社会的、开放的、以全体公民为对象的非学历性的英语等级考试，是测试应试者英语交际能力的水平考试。

该考试是由中华人民共和国教育部(简称教育部，下同)主办，教育部考试中心设计、开发并负责的全国性英语水平考试。具体由教育部考试中心负责制定《考试大纲》、命题、考务管理、考生成绩的认定和证书的发放、省级实施机构的审批等项工作；各省(自治区、直辖市)教育委员会领导下的考试机构负责本地区考试的具体实施[第五级(PETS 5，原WSK·EPT)仍由全国各WSK考点负责实施。此外，PETS是中、英两国政府的教育交流合作项目，在设计过程中还得到了英国国际发展部(DFID)的资助和英国剑桥大学地方考试委员会(UCLES)的技术支持。

三、PETS都考查哪些英语技能？

PETS考查的能力是建立在“交际语言行为模式”上。这种模式以语言交际需要为掌握外语的目的，将语言能力分为“接受”、“产出”、“互动”等，根据各种情景和任务，在特定主题和话语下，结合相关的语言行为进行教学或考查。这些能力与通常所说的“听”、“说”、“读”、“写”等能力的关系是：

接受能力—读和听；

产出能力—写和说；

互动能力—书面和口语的直接交流。

PETS重点考查交际能力，但并不完全排斥对语言知识(语法、词汇等)的考查。所以，PETS考查的内容包括：听力、语言知识、阅读、写作、口语。

四、PETS考试形式有哪些？什么时间考试？

每个级别的考试都包括笔试和口试两种形式，笔试中包含听力测试内容。考试采用先笔试，后口试的方式。笔试的题型主要有客观性试题和主观性试题两类，考生在做答客观性试题时只能在特定的答题卡上进行填涂；除第二级(PETS 2)的主观性试题暂时直接做答在试卷上外，其他级别的主观性试题也做答在为本级别专门设计的答题卡上(各个级别《答题卡》式样及填涂方法详见第五部分)。

口试采用面对面交谈的方式，每次口试采用由两名口试教师对两名考生(一级B是一名考生)进行测试的形式。测试时，一名口试教师不参与交谈，专事评分，另一名主持口试，随时与考生交谈并评分。

不同级别的考试持续的时间不同，具体是：

一级B：笔试90分钟，口试3分钟；

一级：笔试90分钟，口试8分钟；

二级：笔试120分钟，口试10分钟；

三级：笔试120分钟，口试10分钟；

四级：笔试140分钟，口试12分钟；

五级：笔试140分钟，口试15分钟。

(上列所有级别的口试时间为上限)

为了满足考生的实际需要，从2003年开始，PETS 1、2、3、5级均每年开考两次，上半年和下半年各一次。1级B和4级仅在上半年开考。具体每年考试日期及开考级别以当地考试机构的通知为准。

五、考试的内容与要求是什么？

全国英语等级考试(PETS)考查的能力建立在“交际语言行为模式”上，重点考查考生的交誓芰Α ETS考查的内容包括听力、语言知识、阅读、写作和口语。具体的考核内容与要求、词汇表以及样题等在教育部考试中心编写的《全国英语等级考试(PETS)考试大纲》中有明确说明。

全国英语等级考试简介
全国英语等级考试（简称PETS）是教育部考试中心设计并负责的面向社会的英语等级考试体系，在开发过程中得到了英国国际发展部(DFID)的资助以及英国剑桥大学地方考试委员会（UCLES）的技术支持，并成为中英文化交流的合作项目。目前设五个级别。

1999年6月，教育部考试中心举行新闻发布会，向社会正式介绍PETS考试。同年9月，PETS-1-4级考试在北京、天津、辽宁、浙江、山东、河南、广东、上海、福建、海南10个省、市进行了首次考试试点。2000年该考试扩大到15个省、市，考生人数近10万；2001年增加到19个省、市，考生人数近20万。2002年考试规模进一步扩大，考生人数达32万。从1999 年9月开始，有关单位已经用PETS-5正式替代原有的公派出国留学人员英语水平考试?WSK?EPT。考试中心已经用PETS-2和4考试的标准来改造高考和研究生考试中的英语考试。目前正计划用PETS-2和3考试分别替代自考公外的英语（一）和（二）考试。



全国公共英语等级考试PETS复习指导



2004-05-18

1、词汇PETS1－5级的词汇要求是1000－7500词。学习这些词汇时应掌握大纲词汇表所列词汇的音标，词素分析，词性，英文例句，相关词组和短语以及派生词。

语言记忆规律告诉我们，对语言加工的程度越深记忆就越深刻。所以学习词汇时要学习每一个单词的方方面面从而加深记忆；一切语言输入必须是有意义的，音必须在词中学，词必须在许多不同的句子语境中去学。因此我们学习的例句不仅能让我们了解单词的用法还可以帮助记忆单词本身。个人兴趣也会影响人的记忆，我们学习的例句应与我们的现实生活紧密联系，这样可以提高学习兴趣，接触活的语言。

2、大纲中规定的考试项目包括听力、语言知识应用、阅读理解、写作和口语等五部分。这五部分内容就是PETS书面考试的四种题型和口试。

听力部分要求掌握考试大纲所列的功能意念表和语言技能表，详细了解各种听力能力的标准和培养方法，然后进行相应的练习；考试前做一些与PETS考试出题形式和试题结构一致的模拟训练题。平时应利用一切机会多听，包括对教材内容的精听和各种英语广播节目的泛听；了解时事、关注社会热点，扩大知识面等对提高听力能力都有帮助。

总的来说，语言知识运用部分体现在完形填空这种题型上。它是综合考查应试者英语水平的题型。针对此种题型，我们应分别从词汇、语法和语篇层次上学习应对方法，提高对连贯性和一致性等语段特征的掌握和对一定语境下规范的语言成分的掌握。每部分复习完后应做一些相应的练习题。个别级别的本部分还保留有语法填空题，那是我国的英语学习者的拿手好戏。

阅读理解部分全面介绍了大纲规定的阅读能力的构成和培养，包括（1）理解主旨要义；（2）理解文中具体信息；（3）根据上下文推测生词的词义；（4）进行有关的判断、推理和引申；（5）理解文中的概念性含义；（6）理解文章的结构以及单词之间、段落之间的关系；（7）快速阅读较长的文字材料，获取有关信息；（8）理解作者的意图、观点或态度；（9）区分观点、论点和论据；（10）与作者形成有意识的交流。针对考查每一种能力的题型，我们应学习一些具体的应试技巧，每部分之后还应做一些专项阅读训练。考试前还应了解和适应和大纲样题形式完全一致的阅读理解模拟训练题。

写作在PETS考试中被称作语言产出能力的一种，也就是以书面的形式与他人交流的能力。我们从选词造句，连句成段和连段成篇等方面全面学习英语写作基础知识和现实交际所需的各种实用文体的写作。还应掌握优秀文章的写作技巧，进行适当的写作练习是最终提高写作能力的必由之路。

口语部分，我们应详尽了解各种功能意念在口语表达中的运用，以及PETS口试的三个部分，即考生与口试教师的交流、两个考生的相互交流和每个考生的连续表达及两个考生的相互提问的试题形式、考查内容和应试技巧。平时还应有意识地参加一些英语交际活动。在实际工作中验证各种表达方式的交际效果和自己利用外语完成一定任务的能力。

PETS是一种新型的考试，我们参加的目的是测试自己的英语应试能力，我们的学习应围绕这一中心，但是我们多年来积累起来的一些教与学的方法和技巧也有它继续存在的合理性，因为目前在短时间内测试语言水平还要靠考试这种形式。



PETS第五级听力理解辅导



2003-05-23






PETS第五级听力部分试卷内容与结构

1．该部分由A、B、C三节组成，考查考生理解英语口语的能力。

A节：考查考生理解具体信息和抽象信息的能力。要求考生根据所听到的一段500~600词的对话或独白的内容，判断陈述句的正误（True / False），录音材料只播放一遍。A节共10个题。

B节：考查考生理解细节、事实、要点、观点、态度等的能力。要求考生根据所听到的三段独白或对话（每段280~320词）的内容，从所给的四个选择项中选出最佳选项。每段录音材料只播放一遍。B节也是10个题。

C节：考查考生理解并记录主要信息的能力。要求考生根据所听到的一段700~800词的独白或对话的内容，回答或补全不完整的句子。录音材料播放两遍。C节也是10个题。

2．听力部分总题量为30个题，答题时间为35分钟，原始赋分为30分，占全卷分数权重的30%，仅次于阅读部分的分数权重。听力部分的重要性可见一斑。

PETS第五级听力部分考查的语言技能

听力部分作为接受活动的测试形式，要求考生应能听懂内容涉及较为广泛的谈话、演讲和广播电视节目，以及与自己专业有关的讲座、讨论、辩论、演讲和论述。考生应能：

（1） 理解主旨要意；

（2） 获取事实性的具体信息；

（3） 理解明确或隐含表达的概念性含义；

（4） 进行有关的判断、推理和引申；

（5） 理解说话者的意图、观点或态度。

（6） 辨别说话者的语气。

PETS第五级听力试题分析

1．题材特点：PETS第五级的测试对象是具有大学或研究生的学业，通常在大专院校教书，或在科研院所从事科研工作，或准备申请国家奖学金去国外进修人员，参试者属于高层次知识分子或高层次管理人员，他们取得英语水平的认可后，便作为中高级访问学者的备选对象，由国家公派出国学习、讲学、参加国际研讨会。基于这一测试目的和考生群体，PETS听力材料的选材不再是涉及日常生活中的购物、求医、就餐、问路、住宿、乘车等一般题材，而主要是围绕学校、学习的话题较多，此外还涉及讲英语国家的社会文化，包括教育、体育、风土人情、历史地理等方面的普通知识，及有关人文科学、社会科学、自然科学等其他方面的不太专的专业知识。如大纲样题听力部分共五篇文章，全部是校园生活话题，请看其具体内容：

第一篇 关于学生到国外后和导师讨论如何选课、如何确定研究课题；

第二篇 校方向新来的学生介绍学校图书馆设施情况；

第三篇 有关选课的话题；

第四篇 学生在课堂上作presentation，介绍英国文学家George Orwell的生平；

第五篇 来美国学习的外国留学生情况，包括来自于哪个地区、学什么专业等。

通过上述分析可见PETS五级听力材料的题材是有一定范围的，并不是天文地理、包罗万象，从这个意义上讲，PETS五级与TOFLE类似，因为考 TOFLE的人目的也是出国学习，只不过资金来源不同而已。我们的考生群体都有过校园经历，尽管外国大学与中国大学不同，但是毕竟同属于一个领域范畴，了解这一点有助于我们攻克PETS五级听力一关。

2．用词范围 一篇文章或会话所采用的词离不开主题。PETS五级听力围绕校园生活这一主题，就必然选用与学校、学习有关的特色词汇和词组。如大纲样题中下列词重复较多：attend a lecture, take a test, select a course, English proficiency, study for a degree, library, resource center, presentation, register, course enrollment等，考生把握住这一点，就可以做到心中有数，不再盲目了。

3．特定场景既然PETS五级听力从内容上以校园生活为中心，那么所涉及的场景都是学校的主要场所，如：图书馆，教室，实验室，学生宿舍甚至食堂等。此外，难度比较大的恐怕是那些课堂上讲授的或讨论的内容，上面提到的第四篇即属于这一类，但一般说来属于某一领域的普通知识，不会太专。当然，如果考生知识面宽，兴趣比较广泛，这一部分也不会构成太大障碍。

call the shots; call one's bluff

我们经常会问别人：你们家里谁说了算？也就是谁作最后决定。美国人经常说：to calls the shots。   

To call the shots也就是作最后决定、下命令。To call the shots的原来意思是：军官下令部队开枪。但

是现在to call the shots已经在口语中常常出现。请听一个公司雇员在讲他公司里的事：   

"The three partners who own our company are supposed to have equal say in running it. But one of

them, old Mister Johns, is the one who calls the shots and tells us what to do."    

他说："我们公司三个老板在经营方面应该是有同样发言权的。但是最后做决定的总是老约翰先生，每次

都是由他来告诉我们干什么。"    

有些男人很不喜欢女人当他们的领导，但是有时也无可奈何。下面就是一例：   

"Some men in the office thought no woman could be strong enough to be boss. But a week after Miss

Smith took charge, they learned she was going to call the shots and they'd better listen."    

他说："办公室里有些男的雇员以为没有一个女子有足够的能力来当领导。但是，在史密斯小姐主管工作

一个礼拜以后，他们知道她说的话就是命令，因此还是服从她为好。"    

下面我们要给大家介绍的一个常用语是to call one's bluff。To call one's bluff就是揭露某人虚张声势的

做法。这个俗语来自美国人喜欢玩的扑克牌游戏。有时你手里的牌很坏，但是你想让别人认为你手里的

牌好极了，可是别人不相信你，对你进行挑战，这就是to call one's bluff。你听听一位打牌老手是怎么说

的：    

"Sometimes you can scare the other players out of the game with a bluff and 'steal' the pot with a

worthless hand. But it can be very expensive if another   player calls your bluff."   

他说："有时候你可以虚张声势把其他牌友吓住了，这样你就偷偷地用一手坏牌赢了钱。可是，要是另一

个打牌的人不相信你，向你挑战，那你就可能会输不少钱。"    

To call one's bluff这个说法现在已经不局限在打牌上了。下面这个例子是一个公司的经理在对他的助手

讲话：   

"One of our salesmen asked for a raise in salary today, and said he'd have to leave if we didn't give

him a raise. But I called his bluff--I told him no, and wished him good luck. Then he said he'd stay on

with us because he liked working here so much."    

他说："我们公司的一个推销员今天要我给他加工资，说要是我们不给他加工资，他就不在这儿干了。但

是我没上他的当，拒绝了他的要求，还祝他好运气。于是他就改口说他非常喜欢这儿的工作，愿意在这

儿继续做下去。"   

今天我们讲的两个俗语是：to call the shots和to call one's bluff。To call the shots是下命令、做最后决

定。To call one's bluff是揭露某人虚张声势的做法。

沃伦·巴菲特被喻为“当代最成功的投资者”。在历史上伟大的投资家中，巴菲特以他敏锐的业务评估技术引人注目。石油大王约翰·D·洛克菲勒、钢铁大王安德鲁·卡内塞和软件大王比尔·盖茨都有一个共同特点，即他们的财富都来自一种产品或发明。巴菲特却是个纯粹的投资商，他从零开始，仅仅从事股票和企业投资，成为20世纪世界大富豪之一。在40年的时间里——从艾森豪威尔时代到比尔·克林顿执政，无论股市行情牛气冲天抑或疲软低迷，无论经济繁荣抑或是不景气，巴菲特在市场上的表现总是非常好。在战后美国，主要股票的年均收益率在10％左右，巴菲特却达到了28．6％的水平。如果一个人在巴菲特职业生涯开始投入1万美元并且坚持到底，那么到1994年年底，财富将会达到f亿美元。巴菲特丰富的人生经历和充满扭力的人格，巴菲特简单质朴却又奥妙无穷的投资哲学和投资策略吸引着众多的投资者月企业的管理决策者。他们每年一次像圣徒一样到奥马哈朝圣——聆听巴菲特的投资分析。这如同埃尔·沃斯音乐会或宗教复活节一样，成了美国每年的一件大事。金融界的人士把巴菲特的著作视为《圣经》，犹如念布道的经文一样背诵巴菲特的格言。

　　师从本·格雷厄姆

　 　沃伦·巴菲特1930年8月30日出生在美国内希拉斯加州的奥马哈。他的父亲霍华德·巴菲特是当地的证券经纪人和共和党议员。从最初开始，沃伦就超乎年龄地谨慎，他被母亲称为"很少带来麻烦的小孩"。小沃伦对数字有着与生俱来的迷恋。他常私小伙伴们这样消磨整个下午的时间：俯瞰着繁忙的路口，记录下来来往往的车辆的牌照号码。暮色降临以后，他们就回到屋里，展开粮马哈世界先驱报》，计算每个字母在上面出现的次数，在草纸上密密麻麻地写满变化的数字。1929年美国经济大萧条使父亲霍华德的证券经纪人工作陷入困境，致使家里的生活非常桔据。母亲常常克扣自己以便让丈夫和孩子吃得更饱些。直到沃伦开始念书的时候，这种状况才渐渐好转。经历了这些艰辛的岁月之后，他便怀有一种执著的愿望，想要变得非常富有。他在5岁之前便有了这个念头，而且自那以后，这种念头就从来没被抛弃过。沃伦曾坐在小学的太平梯上，平静地对他的好友们说他将在35岁以前发财。他从来没表现出自吹自擂，头脑发涨的迹象，他自己也对此深信不疑，有人曾问他为什么想赚那么多钱，沃伦答道：“这倒不是我想要很多钱，我觉得赚钱来看着它慢慢增多是一件很有意思的事。"

在父亲当选国会议员后，巴菲特随全家迁往华盛顿。当沃伦几乎连刮脸都不会的时候，他就在这个陌生的城市里奔波，为自己事业的起步做出努力。他如饥似渴地读着每一本可以搞到手的商业类书籍，钻研着企业财务报表，研究着股票图表。关于他是股票投资专家的猜测之语纷纷流传到学校，连老师们都干方百计想从他那里挖出一些关于股票的知识。尽管那时他还从未在股市上有过任何漂亮的业绩，然而人们都觉得他是内行。他有某种与生俱来的东西，并不仅仅是早熟的渊博，还在于他那种把知识以合乎逻辑的方式表达出来的本事。他似乎有超常的洞察力，他谈论一件事情的方式让人深信他确实很清楚自己究竟在说些什么。初到华盛顿，沃伦便找了一份投递烨盛顿邮报》和村代先驱报》的工作。不久，沃伦就拥有了五条送报路线，每天早上约有500份报纸要送。沃伦把他的送报"生意"做得红红火火。他每个月可以挣到175美金——这可是许多全天工作的年轻人的收入。沃伦积蓄起挣来的每一毛钱。14岁的巴菲特就有了敏锐的商业头脑：他把花25美元钱买的旧弹手球机放到理发店里，然后把它租出去，第一天他就用这台机器赚了14美元。大约一个月之内，他和伙伴就在三家理发店里设置了弹子球机。生意火极了，他们又扩大到7家，每周有50美元的收入。这样沃伦有了自己的第一个"公司"——威尔森角子机公司。后来沃伦又和这位伙伴合资了350美元，购买了一辆1934年产的劳斯莱斯轿车，之后以每天35美元的价格出租。1947年沃伦高中毕业时，他已分发了近60万份报纸，靠勤劳和智慧积攒了6000美元。

      在以后的大学3年中，沃伦一边干着几乎是全时的工作，一边打着桥牌，而功课也拿到了地毕业时他的积蓄达到9800美元。其间他阅读了本·格雷厄姆的经典著作：峨明的投资者》。这本有关证券投资的著作对巴菲特而言"就像找到了上帝所在"。为此巴菲特大学一毕业就离开家乡奥马哈，只身来到纽约，进入哥伦比亚大学商学院师从他敬仰的本·格雷厄姆。

    格雷厄姆被认为是金融分析的开山鼻祖。他为择股奠定了方法论的基础，在此之前，它与赌博这门伪科学毫无差别。格雷厄姆的第一个贡献是明确了投资的定义，格雷厄姆的第二个贡献是提出了普通股投资的数量分析方法。“安全空间法”是他数量分析法的典型代表。

     在哥伦比亚大学学习期间，巴菲特如饥似渴地钻研着格雷厄姆的这些理论。他得到了格雷厄姆在哥伦比亚执教22年来淮一给过的A"，在巴菲特后来可以称得上真正的"投资"的实践中他继承、检验并发展了这些理论，使其日臻完美。　　

1951年，在哥伦比亚大学毕业后，巴菲特回到奥马哈，到父亲的交易部巴菲特一福尔克公司做股票经纪人。在巴菲特一福尔克公司他取得的最大进展不是在投资业上，而是在戴尔·卡内基的公开课上。在课上，他学到了在大庭广众之中谈吐自如的本领。以后，通过在奥马哈大学教《投资学原理》，他使自己的这种本领日臻完善，这种本领对他日后的投资至关重要。1954年，巴菲特前往纽约到恩师格雷厄姆的投资公司——格雷厄姆一纽曼公司任职。由于格雷厄姆的保守态度，使他拒绝对公司进行任何主观的分析，而是乐于坚持自己的教学准则。这常使投资公司出现持币待投的现象，从而丧失了许多机会。巴菲特意识到这一点并开始研究质量因素对公司内在价值的影响。为此他会亲自到公司拜访，探寻一家企业比另一家更成功的秘密。尽管格雷厄姆并不赞成巴菲特的做法，但巴菲特还是把这些研究结果默默地用在自己的投资上，他取得了比格雷厄姆一纽曼公司更高的投资收益率。从1950年离开大学校园以来，巴菲特的个人资本已由9800美元激增到了14万美元。1956年，格雷厄姆退休后，投资公司解散，巴菲特带着他14万美元的"赌注"重返奥马哈。

The Story of Berkshire Hathaway's Billionaire Chairman
Warren Buffett is Born
Warren Edward Buffett was born on August 30, 1930 to his father Howard, a stockbroker-turned-Congressman. The only boy, he was the second of three children, and displayed an amazing aptitude for both money and business at a very early age. Acquaintances recount his uncanny ability to calculate columns of numbers off the top of his head - a feat Warren still amazes business colleagues with today.
At only six years old, Buffett purchased 6-packs of Coca Cola from his grandfather's grocery store for twenty five cents and resold each of the bottles for a nickel, pocketing a five cent profit. While other children his age were playing hopscotch and jacks, Warren was making money. Five years later, Buffett took his step into the world of high finance.
At eleven years old, he purchased three shares of Cities Service Preferred at $38 per share for both himself and his older sister, Doris. Shortly after buying the stock, it fell to just over $27 per share. A frightened but resilient Warren held his shares until they rebounded to $40. He promptly sold them - a mistake he would soon come to regret. Cities Service shot up to $200. The experience taught him one of the basic lessons of investing: patience is a virtue.
Warren Buffett's Education
In 1947, a seventeen year old Warren Buffett graduated from High School. It was never his intention to go to college; he had already made $5,000 delivering newspapers (this is equal to $42,610.81 in 2000). His father had other plans, and urged his son to attend the Wharton Business School at the University of Pennsylvania. Buffett stayed two years, complaining that he knew more than his professors. When Howard was defeated in the 1948 Congressional race, Warren returned home to Omaha and transferred to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Working full-time, he managed to graduate in only three years.
Warren Buffett approached graduate studies with the same resistance he displayed a few years earlier. He was finally persuaded to apply to Harvard Business School, which, in the worst admission decision in history, rejected him as "too young". Slighted, Warren applied to Columbia where famed investors Ben Graham and David Dodd taught - an experience that would forever change his life.
Ben Graham - Buffett's Mentor
Ben Graham had become well known during the 1920's. At a time when the rest of the world was approaching the investment arena as a giant game of roulette, he searched for stocks that were so inexpensive they were almost completely devoid of risk. One of his best known calls was the Northern Pipe Line, an oil transportation company managed by the Rockefellers. The stock was trading at $65 a share, but after studying the balance sheet, Graham realized that the company had bond holdings worth $95 for every share. The value investor tried to convince management to sell the portfolio, but they refused. Shortly thereafter, he waged a proxy war and secured a spot on the Board of Directors. The company sold its bonds and paid a dividend in the amount of $70 per share.
When he was 40 years old, Ben Graham published Security Analysis, one of the greatest works ever penned on the stock market. At the time, it was risky; investing in equities had become a joke (the Dow Jones had fallen from 381.17 to 41.22 over the course of three to four short years following the crash of 1929). It was around this time that Graham came up with the principle of "intrinsic" business value - a measure of a business's true worth that was completely and totally independent of the stock price. Using intrinsic value, investors could decide what a company was worth and make investment decisions accordingly. His subsequent book, The Intelligent Investor, which Warren celebrates as "the greatest book on investing ever written", introduced the world to Mr. Market - the best investment analogy in history.
Through his simple yet profound investment principles, Ben Graham became an idyllic figure to the twenty-one year old Warren Buffett. Reading an old edition of Who's Who, Warren discovered his mentor was the Chairman of a small, unknown insurance company named GEICO. He hopped a train to Washington D.C. one Saturday morning to find the headquarters. When he got there, the doors were locked. Not to be stopped, Buffett relentlessly pounded on the door until a janitor came to open it for him. He asked if there was anyone in the building. As luck (or fate) would have it, there was. It turns out that there was a man still working on the sixth floor. Warren was escorted up to meet him and immediately began asking him questions about the company and its business practices; a conversation that stretched on for four hours. The man was none other than Lorimer Davidson, the Financial Vice President. The experience would be something that stayed with Buffett for the rest of his life. He eventually acquired the entire GEICO company through his corporation, Berkshire Hathaway.
The Influence of Benjamin Graham
Ben Graham - Buffett's Mentor (Continued)
Flying through his graduate studies at Columbia, Warren Buffett was the only student ever to earn an A+ in one of Graham's classes. Disappointingly. both Ben Graham and Warren's father advised him not to work on Wall Street after he graduated. Absolutely determined, Buffett offered to work for the Graham partnership for free. Ben turned him down. He preferred to hold his spots for Jews who were not hired at Gentile firms at the time. Warren was crushed.
Warren Buffett Returns Home
Returning home, he took a job at his father's brokerage house and began seeing a girl by the name of Susie Thompson. The relationship eventually turned serious and in April of 1952 the two were married. They rented out a three-room apartment for $65 a month; it was run-down and served as home to several mice. It was here their daughter, also named Susie, was born. In order to save money, they made a bed for her in a dresser drawer.
During these initial years, Warren's investments were predominately limited to a Texaco station and some real estate, but neither were successful. It was also during this time he began teaching night classes at the University of Omaha (something that wouldn't have been possible several months before. In an effort to conquer his intense fear of public speaking, Warren took a course by Dale Carnegie). Thankfully, things changed. Ben Graham called one day, inviting the young stockbroker to come to work for him. Warren was finally given the opportunity he had long awaited.
Warren Buffett Goes to Work for Ben Graham
The couple took a house in the suburbs of New York. Buffett spent his days analyzing S&P reports, searching for investment opportunities. It was during this time that the difference between the Graham and Buffett philosophies began to emerge. Warren became interested in how a company worked - what made it superior to competitors. Ben simply wanted numbers whereas Warren was predominately interested in a company's management as a major factor when deciding to invest, Graham looked only at the balance sheet and income statement; he could care less about corporate leadership. Between 1950 and 1956, Warren built his personal capital up to $140,000 from a mere $9,800. With this war chest, he set his sights back on Omaha and began planning his next move.
On May 1, 1956, Warren Buffett rounded up seven limited partners which included his Sister Doris and Aunt Alice, raising $105,000 in the process. He put in $100 himself, officially creating the Buffett Associates, Ltd. Before the end of the year, he was managing around $300,000 in capital. Small, to say the least, but he had much bigger plans for that pool of money. He purchased a house for $31,500, affectionately nicknamed "Buffett's Folly", and managed his partnerships originally from the bedroom, and later, a small office. By this time, his life had begun to take shape; he had three children, a beautiful wife, and a very successful business.
Over the course of the next five years, the Buffett partnerships racked up an impressive 251.0% profit, while the Dow was up only 74.3%. A somewhat-celebrity in his hometown, Warren never gave stock tips despite constant requests from friends and strangers alike. By 1962, the partnership had capital in excess of $7.2 million, of which a cool $1 million was Buffett's personal stake (he didn't charge a fee for the partnership - rather Warren was entitled to 1/4 of the profits above 4%). He also had more than 90 limited partners across the United States. In one decisive move, he melded the partnerships into a single entity called "Buffett Partnerships Ltd.", upped the minimum investment to $100,000, and opened an office in Kiewit Plaza on Farnam street.
In 1962, a man by the name of Charlie Munger moved back to his childhood home of Omaha from California. Though somewhat snobbish, Munger was brilliant in every sense of the word. He had attended Harvard Law School without a Bachelor's Degree. Introduced by mutual friends, Buffett and Charlie were immediately drawn together, providing the roots for a friendship and business collaboration that would last for the next forty years.
Ten years after its founding, the Buffett Partnership assets were up more than 1,156% compared to the Dow's 122.9%. Acting as lord over assets that had ballooned to $44 million dollars, Warren and Susie's personal stake was $6,849,936. Mr. Buffett, as they say, had arrived.
Wisely enough, just as his persona of success was beginning to be firmly established, Warren Buffett closed the partnership to new accounts. The Vietnam war raged full force on the other side of the world and the stock market was being driven up by those who hadn't been around during the depression. All while voicing his concern for rising stock prices, the partnership pulled its biggest coup in 1968, recording a 59.0% gain in value, catapulting to over $104 million in assets.

今天的美国习惯用语: ，我们再给大家介绍两个和狗，也就是和dog有关的习惯用语。

(1)To let sleeping dogs lie，从字面上来看，这个俗语的意思就是不要去惹正在睡觉的狗，因为睡着了的狗不会咬人。换句话说，也就是：要是采取什么行动会给自己或别人带来麻烦，那么最好还是保持现状，不要采取行动。下面是一个妇女在给她的朋友提出劝告：    
"If I were you, I would not tell Nellie you saw her husband having lunch with another woman. It might have been perfectly innocent, so I'd let sleeping dogs lie."   
她说："要是我是你的话，我就不会去告诉内利你看见她丈夫和另一个女人一起吃午饭的事。也许他们根本就没有什么事，所以你还是别惹麻烦。"    
下面这个例子说明每个人在采取行动前需要慎重考虑，要想到可能产生的后果：   
"Can you prove that your neighbor stole your lawnmower? If not and you call the cops, he could make real trouble for you. Better to let sleeping dogs lie!"   
这句话的意思是："你有证据证明你的邻居偷了你的割草机吗？要是你没有证据，又去报了警，他可以给你制造好多麻烦的。你还是算了吧！"    

(2)下面我们要给大家介绍的一个俗语是：Every dog has his day。Every dog has his day这个俗语的意思是：每个人总会有实现自己愿望的一天。比如，一个公司职员很想被提升，但是，他的愿望没有实现，而另一个同事却被提升了。回到家里，他的妻子听到这一消息后对他说：   
"Darling, I know how upset you are that you didn't get the promotion. But don't take it too hard--your turn will come. You know what they say--every dog has his day!"    
他的太太说："亲爱的，我知道你因为没有被提升而感到很不高兴。你可别把这件事看的太重了。你以后会有机会的。就像他们说的：人人都有得意之时嘛。"   
下面的例子是关于一个作家找不到出版商出版他的作品，于是他的朋友就劝他：   
"Okay, so this publisher sent back your manuscript. There are plenty of other publishers. You'll find one who'll buy it--remember, every dog has his day!"    
这个朋友说："行了，就算这个出版商把你的手稿退了回来，那还有好多出版商呢。你会找到一个愿意接受你作品的出版商的。别忘了，人人都会有机会的。"   
今天我们讲了两个和狗，也就是和dog这个字有关的俗语。第一个是：to let sleeping dogs lie，这是不要采取什么行动来改变现状，因为改变现可能会惹麻烦。我们讲的第二个俗语是：Every dog has his day，这是人人都会有实现愿望时候的意思。

to be led by the nose
under your nose   

今天我们要讲的习惯用语是和鼻子，也就是和nose这个字有关系的。鼻子是我们的嗅觉工具，也是我们的呼吸器官，是人体的一个重要组成部份。英语里有不少成语和俗语等习惯用语都和鼻子有联系的。比如to follow your nose是一直走的意思，或者是随着你闻到的味道去找什么东西，或什么地方。又比如to pay through the nose是指付出很高价钱。

在这次节目里,我们要介绍另外两个和鼻子有关的习惯用语。第一个是 to be led by the nose。To be led by the nose是一种很不愉快的经历。它的意思就是一个人全部在别人的控制之下，就像一头牲口被人用绳子牵着鼻子走一样。那末to be led by the nose在一般情况下的用法是怎么样的呢？下面这句话就是一个例子：

例句-1："Ed's wife is a strong-minded woman and leads him around by the nose."
这句话的意思是：“埃德的太太是一个个性很强的人，埃德简直就是被她牵着鼻子走。”

下面我们再来举一个例子。这是一个爸爸在给他的儿子提供一些忠告：

例句-2："Remember, Son, don`t let other people lead you around by the nose. You'll get along a lot better in life if you use your own judgment and do what you yourself think is the right thing."
这位爸爸说：“儿子，你可千万要记住不要让别人牵着你的鼻子走。要是你能用你自己的判断力，做你认为是对的事，那你的日子会过得好得多。”
  

下面我们要讲的一个词汇是 under your nose。举个例子来说吧：有一个人突然发现自己的眼镜找不着了，他到处找，楼上、楼下，找遍了家里每个角落还是找不到。最后，他的太太给他找到了。那眼镜就在他坐着看书的椅子旁边。他太太就会说：

例句-3："See, they were right under you nose all the time."
她说：“瞧，你的眼镜一直在你的鼻子底下。”

Under your nose的意思也就是一样东西离你很近，但是，你就是没有看到。

我们再举个例子来说明under your nose的用法：

例句-4："Did you read in the paper how bold that robber was at the art museum . he cut three paintings from their frameds and walked out with them right under the nose of the guards."
这个人说：“你有没有在报上看到关于那个去博物馆偷东西的贼有多么大胆的消息吗？他把三幅画从镜框里割了下来，然后就竟然在警卫的鼻子底下带出了博物馆。”

blow up
blow out   

对于学英语的人来说,英语的基本词汇和语法也许并不是最困难的。难的是许多英语字和词汇有好几种不同的意思。就拿blow这个字来说吧，它初看起来似乎很简单，不就是“吹气”的意思吗？是的，但是这个字还有其他好些意思呐。它可以指用拳头打某一样东西，可以指爆炸，突然发生的灾难，吹喇叭或其他乐器等等。在美国大学生经常用的一本字典里，blow这个字作为动词和名词加在一起总共有二十九种解释。我们今天来看一看两个和blow这个字有关的常用词汇。

第一个是blow up。Blow up这个词根据不同上下文可以作四种解释。最普通的意思是：用炸药炸毁什么东西。例如：

例句-1："The retreating German army tried to blow up all the bridges across the Rhine river to stop the Allied troops from crossing into Germany."
这句话的意思是：“正在撤退的德国军队设法炸毁莱茵河上所有的桥梁来阻挡联军越过莱茵河进入德国。”

另外blow up也可以指一个人发脾气或发火。我们来举一个例子：

例句-2："I really blew up when I learned my girl friend was going out with another man."
这是说：“当我知道我的女朋友还跟另外一个男朋友出去玩的时候，我可真火了。”

Blow up有的时候还可以解释成给气球吹气，给排球和汽车轮胎打气。比如一个人说：

例句-3："I have to stop at the gas station to blow up my front tires."
他说：“我得到加油站去给汽车的前轮打气。”

最后，放大照片也可以用blow up这个词。你可以到印照片的店里对售货员说：

例句-4："I 'd like 8 by 10 blow ups of these negatives, please."
这是说：“请你把这些底片放大成8X10那么大的照片。”
  

今天要讲的第二个和blow这个字有关的词汇是blow out。

Blow out和blow up 一样至少也有四个不同的意思。汽车轮胎炸了可以用blow out这个词。比如有一个人说：

例句-5："My car smashed into a tree when I had a blow-out."
他说：“当我的轮胎炸了的时候，我的车就撞到一棵树上去了。

Blow-out还可以解释为把火灭掉。比如，一个母亲对孩子说：

例句-6："You'd better blow out that candle before it sets fire to the tablecloth."
这位母亲说：“你最好还是把那蜡烛灭了吧，否则台布都要烧着了。”

在另外一种情况下，blow-out可以指电灯的保险丝断了：

例句-7："All the lights went off in the building and the elevators stopped when the master fuse blew out."
他说：“大楼的总保险丝一断，楼里所有的灯都灭了，电梯也停了。”

Blow out也可以指那种规模很大，排场很讲究的聚会。下面这句话就是一个很好的例子：

例句-8："When the Lees celebrated their 25th anniversary, they invited all their friends to a big blow-out at the best hotel in town."
他说：“当李家夫妇庆祝他们结婚二十五周年的时候，他们在当地最高级的旅馆里举行了一个规模盛大的聚会,把所有的朋友都请去了。”
