2007年阅读Text 4第一段：
Just as bosses and boards have finally sorted out their worst accounting and compliance troubles, and improved their feeble corporation governance, a new problem threatens to earn them – especially in America –the sort of nasty headlines that inevitably lead to heads rolling in the executive suite: data insecurity.
1. 词汇
① lead to sth：to have sth as a result“导致，造成（某种后果）”
② heads rolling的表达来自短语heads will roll (for sth)：used to say that some people will be punished because of sth that has happened有些人将（为某事）受到惩罚。
③ suite: a set of related things (for example, rooms, matching furniture, computer programs, etc.) or a group of people who work for or help an important person.“一套（房间、家具、软件等）；随员，随从” executive“经营管理的；有执行权的，行政的” executive suite在本句中意为“行政随员，管理层”。
2. 句子结构
句首Just as ... corporation governance是时间状语从句（详解见书中分析）。主句的结构是a new problem threatens to earn them the sort of nasty headlines，that引导定语从句，修饰headlines，定语从句的完整形式是：headlines（主语）inevitably lead to（谓语） heads rolling （宾语） in the executive suite（宾语的后置定语）。破折号中especially in America是地点状语，说明earn them nasty headlines的情况在美国常发生。
翻译：当老板和董事会终于解决了最糟糕的财务和规章问题并加强了公司管理力度之后，一个新的问题——数据安全问题——正威胁着他们，使他们出现在令人讨厌的（尤其是美国的）头版头条新闻中，公司管理层进而不可避免地受到惩罚。 |
