B: I’m interested in the daily special. Can you tell me what it is?

A: Oh, that’s a good angle. But do you think that’s cover-page material?
B: It’s got an educational theme, and she’s interviewed people from many age groups for the story. l think it’ll attract a lot of readers who don’t normally buy our magazine.

A: Thanks. The owner, Amir, is such a great guy — I can always trust his recommendations. I’m hoping to buy a tent from him today.

In business news, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of aircraft engines. Quick Star, has been contracted to supply engines for the new SW20 airplane. In order to be able to produce the large number of engines required by the contract, Quick Star is planning to open another manufacturing plant at the beginning of September.

We’ve talked about the minor repairs and upgrades you will be making at the museum. Now, let’s turn our attention to the work you’ll do monitoring the thermostats in each gallery. Environmental control is extremely important to the museum. If the temperature and humidity are not kept very stable, paintings, books, and sculptures can be damaged.

Of course, that’s the last thing we want. Now, your work checklists say that you only need to check each thermostat once a shift, but I look at least twice a shift, especially in the summer. You’d be surprised by how quickly things change.

Hi, Franklin, it’s Saleisha. I just took a look at our taxi company’s online ratings, and the results were pretty disappointing. Customers had complaints about a variety of things, but apparently the biggest issue seems to be that our drivers just aren’t very friendly.

Remember, everyone can see our ratings online. If we want to keep our company in the market, we need to address this. So I have an idea why don’t we start giving a bonus to our taxi drivers who consistently receive high customer ratings? We could select a top-performing employee each month. I think it’d be worth a try.

89.What aspect of the taxi business did most customers comment on?

90.What does the speaker mean when she says, “everyone can see our ratings online”?

91.What does the speaker suggest? 

Welcome to this workshop on developing a business plan. Let’s start with a simple explanation of what that is. A business plan is a statement that describes your goals and how you plan to achieve them. A well-written business plan makes a good impression, and this is important for getting financial support from people willing to invest in your company.

Now before we look at some examples of effective business plans, l’d like to go around and have each of you share your prior work experience with the group. Now who would like to begin?

92.What is the topic of the workshop?

93.According to the speaker, why is it important to make a good first impression?

94.What does the speaker ask members of the group to do?

Hi Leon, it’s Hiroshi. I know you were planning to come with me to the yoga class at the fitness center, but I just checked the Web site, and I see the class is canceled today. There’s another class at the same time, so I’m going to take that one instead.

Do you still want to come? And afterwards, l’m meeting a couple of our coworkers at Reynold’s Café to see a jazz group perform — they’re supposed to be excellent. Let me know if you’d like to join us, and l’ll make a reservation for you. The group has won several awards, so I expect it’ll be crowded. Talk to you later.

96. Why is the speaker going to Reynold’s Café?

97. What does the speaker offer to do?

Now, let’s go over the sales data for our new dishwashers. After we ran our Internet ad campaign in July, we saw an increase in sales in all provinces. However, I think that our bestperforming market for this dishwasher has even more potential than what we predicted.

So, I suggest we start direct-mail advertising there next week to reach people who might not have seen our ad online. Helen from the marketing department is here to present some information about the mailing campaign.

98. What kind of products does the speaker’s company sell?
