Margaret Ellis, Health Consultant Date: December 1, 2010 Subject. Improving Computer User’s Comfort Enclosed is the report, "Improving Computer User’s Comfort", which you asked me to prepare. The report summarizes current research on the effects of computers on health and recommends changes for our computer users. I interviewed over 60 employees of Far East Trade Development Company in the last six months and consulted with health experts in eye and wrist fatigue. I also reviewed all the current literature available for computer health hazards (危险). My recommendations are as follows. 1. Anti-radiation (防辐身) screens should be available for computer monitors. 2. Devices to support the wrist of the computer user should be used to help maintain proper wrist position during computer use and possibly reduce the risk of wrist illnesses. 3. Employees need adjustable chairs which can give their backs a stronger support. For the technical possibility of designing the anti-radiation screens, you may consult Mr. Joseph Miller, and for the specific application of wrist-support devices, you may consult Mr. Benjamin Stone, Technical Department.

Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.Task 1Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 to 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Experts say children can begin learning a second language in preschool, and should begin before the age of ten to take advantage of young children’s natural ability to acquire language. This advantage is lost by the time most children encounter (遇到) a foreign language in the classroom, in middle school or high school. Dr. Noble Goss, an assistant professor of Spanish and German at Harding University in Arkansas, says, "As a father of bilingual (双语的) children (My wife is Mexican), I know that not only it is easy for children to learn one or more languages, but they have an amazing way of separating them out more successfully than you would think. " If a child hears two languages early, he accepts both equally. But if given a chance to speak both, can they be fluent in both Not everyone agrees that early childhood is the only time to start a language, however. Reeves, the chairman and founder of the Center for Performance Assessment in Denver, Colorado, points to the Defense Language Institute’s success at training adult students to speak other language fluently. "The frequently quoted argument that post-adolescence (青春期后) is too late to acquire foreign language skills is still a mystery," says Reeves. Still, if children are going to devote the six years or so of study it takes to master a second language, starting early just makes sense. The reason why adults lose the skills in learning foreign language is______.
A. adults lose interests in foreign language learning
B. adults are less confident than children
C. adults are afraid of making mistakes in learning foreign languages
D. unknown until now
Task 5Directions: The following is a business letter. After reading, it, you should give brief answers to the 5 questions (No. 56 to No. 60) that follow. The answers (in no more than 3 words) should be written after the corresponding numbers on the Answer Sheet. October 8, 2010Dear Sirs, Many thanks for your offer (报价) dated August 26th for leather shoes and for the illustrated catalogues you very kindly sent us. We appreciate the high quality of your goods, but unfortunately we are not in a position to accept the offer on your terms. Your prices appear to be on rather high side and they will leave us little or no margin of profit. As you may know, this is an area in which the principal demand is for goods in the medium price range, and leather shoes of the same quality from some other suppliers are now available in this market at much lower prices than yours. Some suppliers even offer a special discount of as high as 20% on orders exceeding $15 000. Much as we would like to do more business with you, it is rather difficult for us to accept the prices you offered. Unless you can reduce your prices by 10%, we will have no choice but to satisfy our requirements elsewhere. It is highly appreciated if you will give the matter your due consideration and allow us the discount as we suggested. We await your early reply. Yours faithfully, Charles Austen Why cannot Charles Austen accept the supplier’s prices Because he will get little ______.
