听力原文:W: Hello, Gary. How're you?
M: Fine! And you?
W: Can't complain. Did you have time to look at my proposal?
M: No, not really. Can we go over it now?
W: Sure. I've been trying to come up with some new production and advertising strategies. First of all, if we want to stay competitive, we need to modernize our factory. New equipment should've been installed long ago.
M: How much will that cost?
W: We have several options ranging from one hundred thousand dollars all the way up to half a million.
M: Ok. We'll have to discuss these costs with finance.
W: We should also consider human resources. I've been talking to personnel as well as our staff at the factory.
M: And what's the picture?
W: We'll probably have to hire a couple of engineers to help us modernize the factory.
M: What about advertising?
W: Marketing has some interesting ideas for television commercials.
M: TV? Isn't that a bit too expensive for us? What's wrong with advertising in the papers, as usual?
W: Quite frankly, it's just not enough any more. We need to be more aggressive in order to keep ahead of our competitors.
M: Will we be able to afford all this?
W: I'll look into it, but I think higher costs will be justified. These investments will result in higher profits for our company.
M: We'll have to look at the figures more closely. Have finance draw up a budget for these investments.
W: All right. I'll see to it.

听力原文: Thank you all for coming to this meeting on such short notice. As you know, our lease on this building is due to expire at the end of the year, and I've been looking and looking for new premises. I've searched everywhere, but I just couldn't find any place to match our current location. We've been here for over fifteen years now, and Barker's Books has become an institution. Being so close to the university, we have the perfect location. So, imagine my relief when I heard by chance that the shoe store across the road from us is moving out to the new shopping center. I contacted the property manager straight away, and I've secured a two-year lease from January 1 on that space with only a modest increase in rent. We've got a lot of work ahead of us with the move, but I'm sure we can handle it.
What is the purpose of the announcement?
A.To notify customers of a store closing
B.To inform. staff of a merger with another company
C.To announce pay increases for employees
D.To announce a new location for a store

听力原文:M: Well, Cynthia, (19) our frost semester at university is almost over. I can't wait for the holiday.
W: Me too, Edward! Why don't we go somewhere far away and forget these lectures and essays and all that hard work?
M: Sounds good to me. Now, how long will we have before we have to be back here on campus for the next semester?
W: We've got about six weeks, I think.
M: How about if we go to the coast? It would be great to do some swimming and surfing there.
W: The coast would be good, but let's look at our other options. There are the mountains. They're nice and cool at this time of year. And we can do some bush-walking. (20) There's also the desert, which I really enjoyed last year.
M: What about going to Sydney? I've never been there and they say it's a great city to visit. Visitors may do lots of things there and have a good time, I've heard.
W: I agree. Sydney would be. good but there are too many tourists there at this time of year. And I'd rather get away from the tall buildings and the cars. There are enough of those around here. I vote for mountains.
M: All right, then, let's do that. (21)Now we have to decide where we're going to stay and how we're going to get there.
