听力文本如下:

Alex says that the participants “have graciously agreed to share their time with us.”

The word “graciously” (graciously) means generously, kindly, or very thoughtfully.

If someone graciously accepts an invitation, it means that he or she did so very kindly and politely.

Then Alex introduces himself as the CEO of Vision Corporation.

“CEO” means Chief Executive Officer; this is the person who leads a business, like a president, but more important.

Some other titles you may hear related to leaders in a company are “CIO,” which “stands for” (or means) Chief Information Officer, and “CFO,” which is the Chief Financial Officer.

Then Alex begins introducing the other participants.

He says that on his “immediate right” is Ms. Hannah Graff.

To say that she is on his “immediate (immediate) right” means that she is right next to him on his right-hand side.

And note that Alex uses Hannah's title, “Ms. ,” because this is a formal meeting.

“Ms. ” is the most common title for a woman, whether she is married or not.

You won't hear “Mrs. ” or “Miss” as much anymore in formal business meetings.

In the informal meeting you'll see that people call each other by their first names.

Alex says that Hannah “has been a visionary leader in coordinating the focus groups.”

A “visionary (visionary) leader” is someone who has many new, creative, and intelligent ideas.

“Visionary” comes from the word “vision,” which means a plan for the future.

“Visionaries” usually refer to people who are very creative.

“Visionaries” today might be thinking about flying cars or space travel.
