[单项选择]Quite apart from any awkwardness in the way he handled the hostile bid by rival Oracle for the firm he was running, Craig Conway seems to have been an unpopular CEO of PeopleSoft, a large enterprise-software company. Three managers who reported directly to him were apparently close to resigning in frustration, and the board was unhappy about "mis-statements" he made to analysts. So even though there was no "smoking gun", as the board put it, Mr. Conway was fired on October 1st and replaced by the firm’s founder, David Duffield.
Mr. Duffield’s brief is now to address Mr. Conway’s perceived shortcomings and his obsession with fending off the $ 7.7 billion takeover bid from Oracle.

[单项选择]Our friend, Nick, declared the other day that he thought that the British climate was wonderful, but the British weather was terrible. He went on by pointing out that the British climate was a temperate (温和的) one. "This meant," he said, "that you could always be certain that the weather would never be extreme, at any rate not for any length of time, never very hot and never very cold." He quite rightly pointed out that the rainfall in Britian was not very heavy. "Why then," he asked, "has the British climate such a bad reputation (名声)" He answered by saying it was because of the extraordinary (非凡的), unreliable weather. There was no part of the year at which you could be certain that the weather would be dry or wet, clear or dull, hot or cold. A bad day in July could be as cold as a mild day in January.
Indeed you could feel cold at almost any time of the year. Nick blamed drafty (通风的) British houses for this, but agreed that you could also blame the small amount of sunshine and a
