Dear Sirs,
Re: Men's Sweaters
Thank you for your letter of May 18 and samples.
We appreciate the good quality of men's sweaters, but we find your prices appear to be on the high side and out of line with the current price in the market.It would leave us only a small profit on our sales if we accept the prices you quoted.
We appreciate the quality of your goods and would like to have the opportunity to do business with you, but we have also to point out that the men's sweaters are available in our market from several European manufactures.All the prices quoted by them are lower about 10% than yours for the same quality.Therefore we suggest you should make a reduction by 10%.
It is in view of our long-standing business relations that we make you such a counter-offer.We hope you will take our counter-offer into consideration favorably and fax us your acceptance immediately.
We are looking forward to your early reply.
Yours faithfully,
(Signature)

Dear Sirs,
This is to confirm your telex of 16 January, 2009 , asking us to make you firm offers for rice and soybeans CIF Singapore.
We telexed you this morning offering you 300 metric tons of polished rice at $2400 per metric ton, G&F Singapore , for shipment during March/April 2009. This offer is firm, subject to the receipt of your reply before 10 February 2009.
Please note that we have quoted our most favourable price and are unable to entertain any counter offer.
With regard to soybeans, we advise you that the few lots we have at present are under offer elsewhere. If, however, you were to make us a suitable offer, there is a possibility of our supplying them. As you know, of late, it has been a heavy demand for these commodities and this has resulted in increased prices. You may, however, take advantage of the strengthening market if you send an immediate reply.

听力原文: For all its benefits, television's influence has been extremely harmful to the young. Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world; that commercials lie in order to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. They believe and want to imitate what they see. They do believe that they will make more friends if they use a certain soap, or some other product. By the time they are out of high school, most young people have watched about 15,000 hours of television, and have seen about 18,000 killings or other acts of violence. How could they be choked to see the same in real life? All educators and psychologists agree that they "television generations" are more violent than their parents and grandparents. It is certain that television has deeply transformed our lives and our society. It is certain that, along with its benefits, it has brought enormous problems. To those problems we must soon find a solution because—whether we like it or not—television is here to stay.

Mr Blair hailed the capital's "brilliant" bid to host the games and said the event would provide a "wonderful legacy" for British sport.
He was addressing a reception at the High Commissioner's residence in Singapore, attended by a glittering array of sporting stars led by David and Victoria Beckham.
Mr Blair, speaking alongside Lord Coe and his bid team, told guests: "We are very proud of our country and we feel we can make the Olympic movement proud of this bid as well."
Dignitaries at the event included the Princess Royal, Sir Steve Redgrave, Daley Thompson, Jonathan Edwards, Sir Matthew Pinsent, Denise Lewis, David Hemery. Tanni Grey-Thompson and Sir Bobby Charlton.
French officials were earlier angered by critical comments about the centrepiece Paris stadium— the Stade de France — made by two Australian consultants to the London bid.
Jim Sloman, the former chief operating officer of the Sydney Games, and architect Rod Sheard, had claimed at a press conference that the arena was not ideal for athletics, prompting anger from the Paris bid team.
Though the French team decided not to make an official complaint, relations have been further strained following comments said to have been made by French President Jacques Chirac.
Speaking ahead of the G8 conference in Scotland, the politician reportedly told German and Russian leaders that all Britain has ever done for European agriculture is "mad cow". He is also quoted as telling diplomats: "We can't trust people who have such bad food."
Mr Blair, who is due to head off to the G8 summit in Scotland before Wednesday's International Olympic Committee vote, refused to trade barbs with French president Jacques Chirac.
What does "the event" in paragraph two refer to?
A.London's bid.
B.London hosts the 2012 Olympics.
C.The 2012 Olympics.
D.None of the above.
