(1) reforming the way they do business是动名词短语作宾语。动词begin的宾语也可用不定式，可改为...begun to reform the way they do business；they do business作名词way的定语从句。

☆reform ( n. & v.)改革，改进，悔改。如：① The reform and open policy has brought us Chinese people a rich and colourful life. 改革开放的政策给我们中国人民带来了富裕和丰富多彩的生活。② We must reform the outdated rules and regulations. 我们必须改革那些过时的规章制度。③ He promised to reform if given another chance. 他答应只要再给他一次机会就一定悔改。

　(2) 名词way(方法)后面的定语从句的关系词可用that代替in which，也可以如上句一样不用任何关系词。再如：① They way(that／in which)you're doing is completely crazy. 你这么干法，简直是发疯了。② I liked the way(that／in which)she organized the meeting. 我喜欢她组织会议的方法。

　【拓展】

in this／that／the way中的介词常可省略；way后既可跟"带to的动词不定式"结构作其定语，也可跟"of + -ing"结构作其定语，两者之间没有多大的区别；另外，不要混淆in the way(挡道)，on the way (在途中)和by the way(顺便说)。请看如下例句：① I think you're putting it together (in) the wrong way. 我认为你把它装错了。② Do it any way you like. 你爱怎么干就怎么干。 ③ There was no way to prove that he stole the money. 没有办法证明他偷了钱。④ There was no way of proving that he stole the money. 没有办法证明他偷了钱。⑤ Please don't stand in the kitchen door - you're in the (my) way. 请别站在厨房门口 - 你挡了我的路。

　(3) do business (with...) (与......) 做买卖，做生意，做交易。We're doing a lot of business with foreigners now.现在我们跟外国人的买卖量很大。

7. E-commerce, or business done on the Internet, is becoming more and more popular. 电子商务，或者说在因特网上所进行的贸易，越来越受到人们的青睐。(p.43 Reading 'Business' 第2行)
