Woman: Well, I wouldn't say to keep out evil spirits. That sounds so superstitious. But I would say, it's a system of arranging all the objects around you at home or at work in such a way that they are in harmony and balance with nature in the way that feng shui teaches us to do then, therefore you are in harmony and balance and so is your life. Man: Now this is something that is very important in Asia. In fact, it's part of the architecture of buildings how the staircases go up, where buildings are aligned, what is your particular interest in it？ Woman: Yes, feng shui is huge in Asia, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong. Even though it's officially frowned upon as a superstition, it's also huge here in the U. S. , no less than the Donald. Donald Trump, the billionaire real estate developer, doesn't make a move without it. He would no more start working on a building project without a feng shui master than he would without, if it was in L. A. , without.., a seismologist to tell him that the building would stay up in an earthquake. Umm. That's because.., these observations that amount to feng shui have developed over thousands of years and they work, as Donald Trump says. Man: How have you designed your house？ I mean, you say this is for how to change your life. Did you choose your home because of feng shui？ How did you set it out？ Woman: We didn't choose our home because of feng shui. We chose our home because it was what we could find at the time. I am lucky enough to have a great view out the window at the far end of my office. And I was going to put my desk facing out the window, and... uh... but I would've had my back to the door. Yet it's a bad idea to arrange your desk in this way according to feng shui, and actually anybody who comes into your office can surprise you. You're constantly off guard. So I turned my desk, so I still had the view at one hand and I had the door and the rest of the room at the other hand, and then I kind of put the other furniture in the office where it worked around that. Man: That is true. By the way, how did you develop your interest in feng shui？ Woman: I came at this topic pretty skeptically as a journalist, hard-bitten journalist that I was. I did a piece for the Los Angeles Times a few years ago on feng shui as real estate phenomena, because major deals rise or fall on good or bad feng shui. And then a few years later, I got a call from Villard Press, asking me to write a good, basic and accessible handbook on this topic. And I said, "Why, sure!" And, so then, I really got more deeply into it, started to study it. My friends would sort of lean in, look at me with one eyebrow up, and say, "Yeah, but do you believe this stuff？" And I would say, "Oh no! But don't quote me." Now, based on just simple things I've done and also lots and lots of people I talked to for the book, I'd have to say, it works and at the very least, it couldn't hurt. Man: When you walk into a building, are you able to sort of immediately sense whether it has good feng shui or not..., a good flow of the ch'i？ Woman: Yes, and so are you. Anytime you walk into any room, you get a feeling about whether you feel good about being there or not so good. You know, maybe your mood's a little peppier or maybe you're more relaxed..., whatever. It's just a positive reaction you get when you're in the midst of good feng shui Man: Well, I wish you good feng shui as you move through San Francisco here. Woman: Thank you.

You can get fined nowadays, you know, for not wearing your seat belt. W: Yes, sorry, I forgot. Could I open this window？ M: Well, I’d rather you don’t if you don’t mind. It gets very draughty when you open that window. But you can open the back window. W: Is it all right if I go to sleep for a while？ M: Yes, of course.

M: You are not going to give it up, are you？ W: No way, I'll never find another apartment around here. But I don't like the idea of paying three months' rent on an empty apartment, either. M: Perhaps you could sublet it. W: Yes, but who to？ M: An old colleague of mine, Jim Thomas, is coming here to do some research this summer, from June to August. Perhaps you could sublet it to him.

The most important part of dog-care is cleanliness. Not only does the dog have to be kept clean, but his environment should also be clean. The bed he sleeps in can be made with anything like a rug or a dog mattress. Proper feeding is also important for your dog's health. A dog should be fed in the same place and on a regular schedule. If your dog refuses to eat, don't force him. Remove his food and don't feed him again until his next regular feeding. Food should never be left before a dog for more than 30 minutes. One important thing that many dog owners forget is exercise for the dog. Vigorous exercise helps build strength and keeps the dog healthy. A regular walk at a fixed time of the day is enough to help a smaller dog live a healthier end happier life.

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: Thanks. As you know, he had been sick for some time before he passed away, so we were somewhat prepared. W: So, how's your grandmother taking it？ M: Oh, it's been really hard on her. I don't think you get over something like that. W: Yeah, I'm sure. My heart really goes out to her. Uh, so how's your grandmother going to be able to manage things alone？ M: Well, financially, grandmother will be able to live a secure life from now on. I mean, grandfather had life insurance and substantial investments in property and stocks, so returns on those should take care of her. But our main concern at this moment is her emotional state. She's really down, so a call now and again should brighten her day. W: So, what are the funeral arrangements？ M: Well, some of the family members will get together on Tuesday morning for a private memorial service, but there will be a viewing in the afternoon from 2:00 to 3:00, followed by the funeral service. W: I wish there was something I could do for you. M: Well, actually, there is. You know, grandfather really admired you a lot, and before he died, he asked if you'd sing a musical number at the funeral. W: Really？ I'd be honored. M: It would really mean a lot to the family. W: Sure. Then, see you on Tuesday. M: Okay, see you then. (20) A．He fell ill and passed away unexpectedly. B．He died in a traffic accident.
