The next time you try for a high-ranking post,you could let your possible boss listen to a recommending(推荐)phone call"made"by US President Ceorge W.Bush or British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Of course,neither of them could really do that for you--you would just"borrow"their voices.
AT&T labs will start selling speech software that it says is so good at reproducing the sounds of a human voice that it can recreate voices and even bring the voices of long-dead famous people back to life.
The software,which turns printed text into speech,makes it possible for a company to use recordings of a person′s voice to say things that the person never actually said.
Possible customers for the software,which is priced in the thousands of dollars,includes telephone call centers,companies that make software that reads digital(数字的)files aloud,and makers of automated voice devices(装置).The advances raise several problems.Who,for example,owns the rights to a famous person′s voice?Some experts even believe that new contracts(合同)will be drawn that include voice-licensing clauses.
"And although scientists say the technology is not yet good enough to commit fraud(假冒),would the synthesized(合成的)voices at last be able to trick people into thinking that they were getting phone calls or digital audio recordings from people they know?
Even Mr Fruchterman,one of AT&T labs′possible first customers,said he wondered what the new technology might bring."Just like you can′t trust a photograph any more."he said,"you won′t be able to trust a voice either."

With the help of the speech software it is most possible

A.to improve a famous person's speech
B.to say what you want in another's voice
C.to make a speech much more easily
D.to help you to find a better job

Angry customers tend to aim their dissatisfaction and complaints at staff members. If this happens to you, you should remember that they are actually expressing their dissatisfaction about the company and not about you as an individual. But if you wish to be successful in any business, then you have to learn how to handle angry customers. Listed below are a few guidelines to help you develop your own personal strategy for dealing with angry customers:

Never argue back. You must stay calm and aim to satisfy the customer even in the most difficult situations. It is only by agreeing with their view point and suggesting a possible solution that you will resolve the situation and send the customer away happy.

Use your ears more than your mouth. Make sure you listen more than you speak. By listening carefully, you will be able to understand why the customer is complaining, so that satisfactory steps can be taken.

Show that you care: Use every opportunity to express your apology and understanding. You have to show that you will do everything within your power to try and resolve the situation. This exhibition of your concern will win the customer over. There will be a significant change in their behavior.

Control your anger and be patient. Learn to relax and calm yourself. Having patience with your customers and with yourself will go a long way in winning over hostile customers.
