M: Yes, it must be three or four years. I haven't visited you since I called about my will. You helped me with that, you remember？ W: Yes, I remember. Do you want to make any changes in your will？ M: I don't think that will be necessary, but you'll tell me if it is. I left everything, you remember, to my wife, and after her death, to my son Jerry. I've about $15,000 in shares of industrial companies. These bring in, after paying tax, about ＄1,125 a year. Well, I'm earning a good salary now, and I shall get a good pension from my employers, so my wife and I can live fairly comfortably with this extra income, I want to buy some land and build a house for my son; he will need a house when he gets married.

M: Yeah, and what's frustrating is that I'm studying the nineteenth century British Empire in all three classes, but I can't just write a single paper for all three.

What can I do to repay you？ W: You want to write up my chemistry paper for me？ M: I'd love to, but I've never taken chemistry, so I'm not sure you'd like the results.

M: Well, the 1992 Maastricht Treaty proposed a single currency between the European Union. The participating countries decided on the name "Euro' at a summit in Madrid in 1995 and the currency was launched on January 1, 1999. W: What is it worth？ M: When the Euro was launched in 1999, one Euro was worth 1.17 US dollars or 71 British pence. However, the weakness of the Euro zone economies compared with that of the United States, combined with the inexperience of the European Central Bank in dealing with the international markets, has meant that since its launch the value of the Euro had declined significantly. In December 2001, one Euro was worth little more than 89 cents or 63 pennies, a 20 percent drop on its initial value. W: Do you think it will affect the daily life of ordinary people？ M: I suppose so. For example, one of the major headaches for participating countries has been the con version of public telephones, vending machines, and shopping trolleys to accept Euro coins. Al though a conversion process has been in full swing since before 1999, there are reports that some countries are not ready for the Euro. W: So what does it look like？ M: There are seven notes designed by the Austrian artist Robert Kalina. The designs show the "seven ages" of European development, with windows and gateways on the front, and bridges on the back. In addition, there are eight coins designed by the Belgian artist Luc Luycx. All Euro coins are round, but have differences in composition, weight, thickness, and milling to ensure that the blind can easily distinguish between them. On the front there is a European design, common to all coins, and on the back a "national" design from the central bank of issue. Despite the "national identities'', all coins can be spent throughout the Euro zone regardless of their origin. (36) A．1992 B．1995 C．1999 D．2001

M: Thank you, Miss Carlyle, I'm in bad need of such suggestions because, to be frank, my company, although small, is rapidly expanding. And please, call me Len. So, what are your recommendations for my new organizational structure？ W: Call me Mary. First, let's start with your operation here. You should set up separate Administrative, Clerical, Back office, and Support functions. There's too much work for your personnel to wear more than one hat any more. M: Yes, they're already overworked. But that will entail more Managerial functions, won't it？ W: That's right, Lea, and you'll need at least two new managers for separate Marketing and Product Development departments. M: OK, Mary. What else？ W: I think you'll need an Executive assistant to help you deal with corporate affairs. That should do it for your headquarters here, but since your business is no longer just local, I also suggest setting up a regional office in the south. M: What about personnel there？ W: You'll need the same basic functionality as here, on a reduced scale. Product Development is only needed at headquarters for now. Your regional head can manage all functions there initially, but will probably need an assistant, also. And that's it! M: Thanks for your advice, Mary. You do help a lot. Looks like I'll need that assistant right away to help me set all this up! (23) A．A personnel manager. B．A business consultant. C．A secretary. D．An assistant.

M: Could you elaborate on that, Mr. Hopkins？ Q: Where does this conversation probably take place？ (14) A．In a conference room. B．In a factory. C．On board a ship. D．In a hospital.

M: Yes, I was driving home from work. It was about 5:15, and there was a blue car in front of me. We were both driving along Harbor Road when a small white Ford suddenly shot out of a side road. It shot right in front of the blue car. The driver tried to stop, but it was impossible. He ran into the white Ford. W: I see. Now, how fast was the car in front of you going when the accident happened？ M: The blue car？ 30 miles an hour. Certainly no more than that. W: And the white Ford shot out without any warning？ M: Yes, that's right. W: Then, how can you be sure the blue car was only doing 30？ M: Because I was only doing 30, and the blue car wasn't going any faster than I was. W: Are you sure of that？ M: Yes, I am. I'm positive. W: How can you be so positive, Mr. Atkins？ Were you looking at your speedometer when the accident happened？ M: Of course not. I was looking at the road ahead. That's how I managed to see the accident! W: Well, if you weren't looking at your speedometer, how can you possibly be sure how fast you were going？ M: Because I never go faster than 30 on that road.
