主题：Irish round towers
1. One possibility is that the towers were built as forts to protect against foreign invaders such as the Vikings of Scandinavia. Local people could hide themselves and their valuables inside the towers and wait for an attack to end. This theory is supported by the fact that the doors are located in an unusual place. Instead of being placed at ground level, the doors are located several meters above 　　the ground. Local people would have been able to enter a tower only by climbing a ladder that could then be pulled up into the tower. This unusual design would have allowed them to keep invaders out in the event of an attack.	1. First, recent discoveries suggest that the towers probably were not forts. Turns out that the high placement of the doors was structurally necessary. You see, all tall buildings need a strong foundation to support the heavy weight above them. Modern tall buildings usually have deep, thick underground walls as foundations, but Irish round towers lack underground foundations. 　　Instead, their builders made the tower stable by filling the lower part of the building with soil and stones. Several meters of soil and stones were usually piled inside the bottom of the towers. And this meant the doors had to be placed several meters above ground level. But this had nothing to do with defense.
2. Another possibility is that the towers once housed metal bells that could be rung loudly to send messages to the local population. At that time, many European towns had bell towers, which were used for communication, so it is possible that the round towers served the same purpose. In fact, in the Irish language, the traditional name for the towers sounds exactly like an Irish word that literally means “bell house.” This strongly suggests that the round towers indeed functioned as bell towers.	2. Second, it's true that the Irish word for bell house sounds like the traditional name for round towers, but the name for the towers also sounds very similar to the Irish word for stone house. The round towers were the only significant stone buildings in Ireland at the time. So it actually makes sense that they would have been called stone houses. Because both words sound nearly the same. It's difficult to know which word was the original name for the towers. Additionally, there is no archaeological evidence that the towers originally had bells in them.
3. A third possibility is that the towers functioned as watchtowers. Historians have pointed out that watchtowers were usually high structures built to allow for observations of the surrounding areas. Since all Irish round towers are tall buildings, it is possible that they were built to provide a high place from which guards or watchmen could see enemies, local inhabitants, or visitors approaching from afar.	3. Finally, watch towers were usually constructed so that guards could see far in all directions. But the Irish round towers were not generally built this way. For instance, one tower stands at the bottom of a narrow valley, where it's mostly surrounded by hills much taller than the tower itself. This location makes it difficult to see for any distance, because the nearby hills block the view. Another indication that the round towers were not watch towers is that each tower has only a few small windows that provide views in certain directions, but not others.

　　Doctor Achebe: We've been discussing the process of starting a new business, and one of the most critical aspects of this process is staffing. That is, deciding which people to hire. Please discuss the following question: ls it better for new businesses to hire experienced veterans of the industry or to staff the business with younger employees who are right out of university? Why do you think so?

　　Kelly:I think a company should staff a business with the most experienced employees possible. lf you're starting a new business, you need people around you who know what they are doing and can quickly get the business up to speed. Spending time training inexperienced people will slow you down.

　　Andrew:I understand what Claire is saying, but if you are starting a new business, you want people who are particularly enthusiastic and energetic. Who better than a recent graduate to bring those qualities to the job? You would be guaranteed an ambitious hard worker.

　　In the fast-paced and competitive world of business, it is crucial for new companies to hit the ground running and make a strong impact in order to survive and thrive. One surefire way to ensure success is to hire experienced veterans of the industry who bring a wealth of knowledge, expertise, and connections to the table. While young, fresh graduates may have the energy and enthusiasm, they often lack the practical experience and real-world skills that are essential for navigating the complex landscape of business. One of the main advantages of hiring experienced veterans is their ability to mentor and guide younger employees. Their years of experience have equipped them with valuable insights and lessons learned from past successes and failures, which they can pass on to the next generation of workers. This mentorship can significantly accelerate the growth and development of a new business, ensuring that mistakes are avoided and opportunities are maximized. Furthermore, experienced veterans are often well-connected within the industry, with a network of contacts that can open doors and create opportunities for the company. These connections can lead to partnerships, collaborations, and new business ventures that may not have been possible without their expertise and relationships. On a personal note, I once worked for a startup company that decided to staff the business with a young, inexperienced team. While we were eager and enthusiastic, we struggled to navigate the challenges and complexities of the industry, often making costly mistakes that set us back. It wasn't until we hired an experienced veteran as our CEO that we began to see real progress. His guidance, wisdom, and connections were invaluable in helping us overcome obstacles and achieve success.
