参考范文：Stated-owned business or Joint venture

　　Upon graduation, virtually all college students will confront the problem of the career choice，which is truly a tough choice. Students' opinions differ greatly on this issue. Some hold that there is no better way to get a decent job than working in a stated-owned business which will guarantee my life after retirement, but others take the attitude that a joint venture outweighs any other jobs as it may provide higher income for employees.

　　As to myself, I prefer the latter view. A joint venture, especially a high-salary joint venture, exerts a tremendous fascination on a great number of people, with no exception to me. Although it might be impossible to make sure my retirement pension is good enough, high-salary is exactly what I need just now. In my view, our career choices largely depend on where we want to stay for the rest of life. For me, metropolis is the place where I can grasp loads of opportunities and achieve my personal dreams. As I hold the view that live in the moment, not the future, and also in order to finance myself in some aspects such as the transportation, the house-renting, or social activities, a joint venture can satisfy my needs for the consumption I mentioned above.

　　In short, a joint venture is the first and only consideration in my choice of career.

　　Section A - 2

　　Rescue efforts were underway Thursday morning for 17 miners who were stuck in an elevator below ground at a Cargill rock salt mine near Lansing, New York, according to Marcia Lynch.

　　Public information officer with Tompkins County’s emergency response department, emergency workers have made contact with the miners via a radio. And they all appear to be uninjured, said Jessica Verfuss, the emergency department’s assistant director.

　　Crews have managed to provide heat packs and blankets to the miners so that they can keep warm during the rescue operation, Verfuss said. Details about what led to the workers’ being trapped in the elevator went immediately available. The mine, along New York’s Cayuga Lake, processes salt used for road treatment. It produces about 2 million tons of salt that is shipped to more than 1,500 places in the northeastern United States, the rock salt mine is one of three operated by Cargill with the other two in Louisiana and Ohio.

　　Q3. What does the news report say about the salt miners?

　　Section A - 3

　　The U.S. Postal Service announced today that it is considering closing about 3,700 post offices over the next year because of falling revenues.

　　Facing an $8.3 billion budget deficit this year, closing post officers is one of several proposals the Postal Service has put forth recently to cut costs. Last week, for example, Postmaster General Pat Donahoe announced plans to stop mail delivery on Saturdays, a move he says could save $3 billion annually.

　　“We are losing revenue as we speak,” Donahoe said. “We do not want taxpayer money. We want to be self-sufficient. So like any other business you have to make choices.”

　　Dean Granholm the vice president for delivery and post office operations said the first waves of closings would begin this fall. He estimated that about 3,000 postmasters, 500 station managers and between 500 and 1,000 postal clerks could lose their jobs.

　　Q5.What is the U.S. Postal Service planning to do?

　　Q6.What measure has been planned to save costs?

　　Q7.What will happen when the proposed measure come into effect?

　　Conversation 1

　　A: Mrs. Hampton, we've got trouble in the press room this morning.

　　B: Oh dear. What about?

　　A: One of the press operators arrived an hour and a half late.

　　B: But that's a straightforward affair. He will simply lose part of his pay. That's why we have a clock-in system.

　　A: But the point is the man was clocked-in at 8 o'clock. We have John standing by the time clock, and he swears he saw nothing irregular.

　　B: Is John reliable?

　　A: Yes, he is. That's why we chose him for the job.

　　B: Have you spoken to the man who was late?

　　A: Not yet. I thought I'd have a word with you first. He's a difficult man, and I think there's been some trouble on the shop floor. I've got a feeling that trade union representative is behind this. The manager told me that Jack Green's been very active around the shop the last few days.

　　B: Well, what do you want me to do?

　　A: I was wondering if you'd see Smith, the man who was late, because you are so much better at handling things like this.

　　B: Oh, alright. I'll see him. I must say I agree with you about there being bad feelings in the works. I've had the idea for some time that Jack Green's been busy stirring things up in connection with the latest wage claim. He's always trying to make trouble. Well, I'll get the manager to send Smith up here.

　　Q8. What will happen to the press operator who was late for the work according to the woman?

　　Q9. What does the man say about John who stands by the time clock?

　　Q10. Why does the man suggest the woman see the worker who was late?

　　Q11. What does the woman say about Jack Green?

　　Conversation 2

　　A: Our topic today is about somethings that foreigners nearly always say when they visit Britain. It's 'Why are the British so cold?' And they're talking about the British personality – the famous British 'reserve'. It means that we aren't very friendly, we aren't very open.

　　B: So do you think it's true?

　　A: It's a difficult one. So many people who visit Britain say it's difficult to make friends with British people. They say we're cold, reserved, unfriendly...

　　B: I think it's true. Look at Americans or Australians. They speak the same language, but they're much more open. And you see it when you travel, people - I mean strangers - speak to you on the street or on the train. British people seldom speak on the train. Or the bus. Not in London, anyway.

　　A: 'Not in London'. That's it. Capital cities are full of tourists and are never very friendly. People are different in other parts of the country.

　　B: Not completely. I met a woman once, an Italian. She's been working in Manchester for two years,

　　and no one - not one of her colleagues - had ever invited her to their home. They were friendly to her at work, but nothing else. She couldn't believe it. She said that would never happen in Italy.

　　A: You know what they say – 'an Englishman's home is his castle'. It’s really difficult to get inside.

　　B: Yeah. It's about being private. You go home to your house and your garden and you close the door. It's your place.

　　A: That's why the British don't like flats. They prefer to live in houses.

　　B: That’s true.

　　Q12. What do foreigners generally think of British people according to the woman?

　　Q13. What may British people typically do one the train according to the man?

　　Q14. What does the man say 内容过长，仅展示头部和尾部部分文字预览，全文请查看图片预览。 longevity and happiness. Red can be found everywhere during Chinese Spring Festival and other joyous occasions. Cashes often in red envelopes are sent to family members or close friends as gifts. Its popularity can also be attributed the fact that people accociate it with Chinese revolution and Communist Party. However, it does not always equal to good luck and joy in that the name of the dead used to be written in red. Using red ink to write names of Chinese people were seen as an offense.
