Part ADirections: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1 You know you should do it, other people do it all the time. Maybe you’ve already done it but it wasn’t very satisfying, and you’d like to learn to do it better. I’m talking, of course, about having a business lunch. Don’t feel embarrassed if you are uncomfortable with the idea of sitting over a grilled chicken breast, talking to a prospective client. Most inexperienced, overeager launchers believe the main purpose of a business lunch is to either (a) conduct business or (b) eat lunch, and they’re unsure how to mix the two. Don’t worry! Business lunches aren’t about either business or lunch,they’re about building relationships. One of my business rules is "People do business with people they like. " Often, it’s not products, prices, or the company that makes the sale—it’s the person Business lunches are the perfect time for you and your client, supplier, or employee to get to know each other as people. This helps establish common interests and makes working together easier. The single most important thing you can do at a business lunch—even more important than picking up the tab—is listen. You don’t need a particular reason to ask someone to lunch, so don’t wait until for a certain occasion or issue. Don’t make it seem like lunch is going to be a sales call. Instead, try the straightforward approach, "We’ve been doing business together for almost a year. I’d like to take you to lunch and get to know you a little better." Or a little less straightforward, "I’m often in your area, how about having lunch sometime" Have the other person suggest a place to eat—"Is there a restaurant you’ve been wanting to try" Or if you have a limited budget, you choose a nice mid priced restaurant. Forget McDonald’s. If you’re thanking someone for an important order, take them to a really special, possibly new, restaurant. If you did the inviting, you pick up the tab, even if your guest says, "I can put this on my company’s credit card." But don’t have a scene arguing over the check. You can just say, "You can get the next one." Some companies have policies that don’t permit employees to be treated; in that case, split the tab. The following places might be good choices for a business lunch except______.
Text 2 In the USA, 85% of the population over the age if 21 approve of the death penalty. In the many states whcih still have the death penalty, some use the electric chair, which can take up to 20 minutes to kill, while others use gas or lethal injection. The first of these was the case of Ruth Ellis who was hanged for shooting her lover in what was generally regarded as a crime of passion. The second was hanged for murders which, it was later proved, had been committed by someone else. The pro-hanging lobby uses four main arguments to support its call for the reintroduction of capital punishment. First there is the deterrence theory, which argues that potential murderers would think twice before committing the act if they knew that they might die if they were caught. The armed bank robber might, likewise, go back to being unarmed. The other two arguments are more suspect. The idea of retribution demands that criminals should get what they deserve: if a murderer intentionally set out to commit a crime, he should accept the consequences. Retribution, which is just another word for revenge, is supported by the religious doctrine of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. The arguments against the death penalty are largely humanitarian. But there are also statistical reasons for opposing it: the deterrence figures do not add up. In Britain,1903 was the the record year for executions and yet in 1904 the number of murders actually rose. There was a similar occurrence in 1946 and 1947. If the deterrence theory were correct, the rate should have fallen. The other reasons to oppose the death penalty are largely a mather of individual conscience and belief. One is that murder is murder and that the state has no more right to take a lifer than the individual. The other is that Christianity advises forgiveness, not revenge. In paragraph 3,"deterrence"means______.
With the passage of time, the wave of change also spread to cities. The expression "one’s (67) on marriage" began to appear, as did the concept of "marriage as one of life’s many (68) ." The (69) of men still unmarried in their thirties reached about twenty percent in the national (70) taken in 1985, and the (71) of a "hard-to-get-married era" began to be much talked about. The figure apparently (72) 30 percent in 1995. (73) , the highest rate of male singles in their thirties was (74) in Tokyo, including that the (75) number of unmarried men was no longer a (76) rural problem. What about women The proportion of unmarried women in the 25 - 29 age (77) bracket has been increasing (78) about 5 percent every five years (79) it is now nearly 50 percent. What are the real reasons women (80) not to marry Early on, two were cited: women are now better educated and more women are interested in working outside the home. A Ministry of Education survey (81) in 1989 found that 35.8 percent of male high school graduates (82) to college or university (including junior college) — less than the 36.8 percent for female graduates. This was the first time (83) the ministry started such surveys that women had (84) men in going (85) higher education. (86) , the proportion of women with jobs outside the home reached 49.5 percent in 1989.
