听力原文:W: Hi, Tom. What are you reading?
M: Oh, hi, Tanya. This is a newspaper, the Community News. It carries only good news.
W: Oh, yeah. I think I've seen that.
M: Yeah, isn't it a great idea? I'm so fed up with all the bad news you read about all the time. It's about time someone offers some creative choice to the mainstream newspapers.
W: I don't know.., the problem with it is, if it's only good news, how do you know you're getting the whole story, and not just sugar-coated truth? It doesn't sound like objective journalism — that both sides of a story and all facts are being reported.

听力原文: As you know we've been working with the Maclachlan Group, who has been providing interpersonal-skills seminars to our staff. A lot of these seminars are very important for our staff because they deal with matters that are important everyday, such as conflict resolution, and time efficiency. But even though these seminars provided free of charge, I am hearing a lot of reports that say employees aren't attending these seminars because they just don't see any benefit to them. But of course, as managers we know that it may take time to see the advantages that extra training can provide. I think that these seminars are beneficial and that we should make every effort to encourage our staff to attend these seminars. The way to do that is to make these seminars more appealing. Therefore I propose we start holding these seminars at weekend resorts so that employees will be more interested in going.
Who is the speaker most likely talking to?
A.New employees
B.Loyal customers
C.Business owners
D.Department managers

M If you think about what I actually get paid for, it's the writing. I do a lot of thinking and analyzing, but in the end, I get paid for writing those reports you see every time you work with me.
W But don't you think it's overkill? I mean, does every project require so much documentation?
M Yes, I think it does. Everything we do has to be approved by several people. The documentation helps decision makers understand what they're approving. It also helps us, in case they later want to change something.
What skill does the man say his job mainly involves?
A.Writing
B.Speaking
C.Analyzing

B.Organizing the woman's papers
C.Examining the woman's invoices
D.Speaking with one of the woman's clients

Re: Need for New Memo Format
I've noticed that we don't seem to be able to communicate important changes, requirements and progress reports throughout the company as (141) as we should. I propose developing one consistent memo format, recognizable by all staff as the official means of communicating company directives.
While I know this seems like a simple (142) , I believe it will cut down on needless e-mail, improve universal communication and allow the staff to save necessary information for later reference.
Please talk among yourselves to determine the proper points of memo writing and return the input to me by 12 noon. I will then send out a notice to the entire staff (143) the new memo format.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this.

Is the Tie a Necessity?
Ties, or neckties, ha ve been asymbol of politeness and elegance in Britain for centuries. But the casual Prime Minister Tony Blair has problems with them. Reports suggest that even the civil servants may stop wearing ties. So, are the fa mously formal British really going to abandon the neckties?
Maybe. Last week, the UK's Cabinet Secretary Andrew Turnbull openly welcomed Atieless era . He hinted that civil servants would soon be free of the costliest 12 inches of fabric that most men ever buy in their lives.
In fact, Blair showed this attitude when he had his first guests to acocktail party. Many of them were celebrities (知名人士) without ties, which would ha ve been unima ginable even in the recent past.
For some more conservative British, the tie is a must for proper appearance. Earlier, Labor leader Jim Calla ghan said he would ha ve died rather than ha ve his children seen in public without Atie. For people like Calla ghan, the tie was asign of being complete, of showing respect. Men were supposed to wear Atie when going to church, to work in the office, to aparty - almost every social occasion.

The origin of the tie is tricky. It started as something called simply a "band". The term could mean anything around a man's neck. It appeared in finer ways in the 1630s. Frenchmen showed alove of this particular fashion statement. Their neckwear (颈饰) impressed Charles II, the king of England who was exiled (流放) to France at that time.When he returned to England in "1660, he brought this new fashion item along with him.

Then, clubs, military institutions and schools began to use colored and patterned ties to indicate the wearer's membership in the late 19th century. After that, the tie beca me anecessary item of clothing for British gentlemen.
But now, even gentlemen are getting tired of ties. Anyway, the day leers abit easier when you wake up without ha ving to decide which tie suits you and your mood.
