He looked good, on paper. He was their top choice. In fact, for this year there were no other prospects. The list was very short. It was McDeere, or no one.
The managing partner, Royce McKnight, studied a dossier labeled "Mitchell Y. McDeere-Harvard." An inch thick with small print and a few photographs; it had been prepared by some ex-CIA agents in a private intelligence outfit in Bethesda. They were clients of the firm and each year did the investigating for no fee. It was easy work, they said, checking out unsuspecting law students. They learned, for instance, that he preferred to leave the Northeast, that he was holding three job offers, two in New York and one in Chicago, and that the highest offer was ＄76,000 and the lowest was ＄68,000. He was in demand. He had been given the opportunity to cheat on a securities exam during his second year. He declined, and made the highest grade in the class. Two months ago he had been offered cocaine at a law school party. He said no and left when everyone began snortihg. He drank an occasional beer, but drinking was expensive and he had no money. He owed close to＄23,000 in student loans. He was hungry.
Royce McKnight flipped through the dossier and smiled. McDeere was their man.
Lamar Quin was thirty-two and not yet a partner. He had been brought along to look young and act young and project a youthful image for Bendini, Lambert & Locke, which in fact was a young firm, since most of the partners retired in their late forties or early fifties with money to bum. He would make partner in this firm. With a six-figure income guaranteed for the rest of his life, Lamar could enjoy the twelve-hundred-dollar tailored suits that hung so comfortably from his tall, athletic frame. He strolled nonchalantly across the thousand-dollar- a-day suite and poured another cup of decaf. He checked his, watch. He glanced at the two partners sitting at the small conference table near the windows.
Precisely at two-thirty someone knocked on the door. Lamar looked at the parmers, who slid the resume and dossier into an open briefcase. All three reached for their jackets. Immar buttoned his top button and opened the door.
Which of the following is NOT the firm's recruitment requirement？
A．Marriage.
B．Background.
C．Relevant degree.
D．Male.
TEXT D
The law firm Patrick worked for before he died filed for bankruptcy protection a year after his funeral. After his death, the firm's letterhead properly included him: Patrick S. Lanigan, 1954-1992. He was listed up in the right-hand corner, just above the paralegals. Then the rumors got started and wouldn't stop. Before long, everyone believed he had taken the money and disappeared. After three months, no one on the Gulf Coast believed that he was dead. His name came off the letterhead as the debts piled up.
The remaining partners in the law firm were still together, attached unwillingly at the hip by the bondage of mortgages and the bank notes, back when they were rolling and on the verge of serious wealth. They had been joint defendants in several unwinnable lawsuits; thus the bankruptcy. Since Patrick's departure, they had tried every possible way to divorce one another, but nothing would work. Two were raging alcoholics who drank at the office behind locked doors, but nevertogether. The other two were in recovery, still teetering on the brink of sobriety.
He took their money. Their millions. Money they had already spent long before it arrived, as only lawyers can do. Money for their richly renovated office building in downtown Biloxi. Money for new homes, yachts, condos in the Caribbean. The money was on the way, approved, the papers signed, orders entered; they could see it, almost touch it when their dead partner—Patrick—snatched it at the last possible second.
He was dead. They buried him on February 11, 1992. They had consoled the widow and put his rotten name on their handsome letterhead. Yet six weeks later, he somehow stole their money.
They had brawled over who was to blame. Charles Bogan, the firm's senior partner and its iron hand, had insisted the money be wired from its source into a new account offshore, and this made sense after some discussion. It was ninety million bucks, a third of which the firm would keep, and it would be impossible to hide that kind of money in Biloxi, population fifty thousand. Someone at the bank would talk. Soon everyone would know. All four vowed secrecy, even as they made plans to display as much of their new wealth as possible. There had even been talk of a firm jet, a six-seater.
So Bogan took his share of the blame. At forty-nine, he was the oldest of the four, and, at the moment, the most stable. He was also responsible for hiring Patrick nine years earlier, and for this he had received no small amount of grief.
Doug Vitrano, the litigator, had made the fateful decision to recommend Patrick as the fifth partner. The other three had agreed, and when Patrick Lanigan was added to the firm name, he had access to virtually every file in the office. Bogan, Rapley, Vitrano, Havarac, and Lanigan, Attorneys and Counselors-at-Law. A large ad in the yellow pages claimed "Specialists in Offshore Injuries." Specialists or not, like most firms they would take almost anything if the fees were lucrative. Lots of secretaries and paralegals. Big overhead, and the strongest political connections on the Coast.
They were all in their mid- to late forties. Havarac had been raised by his father on a shrimp boat. His hands were still proudly calloused, and he dreamed of choking Patrick until his neck snapped. Rapley was severely depressed and seldom left his home, where he wrote briefs in a dark office in the attic.
26. What happened to the four remaining lawyers after Patrick's disappearance？
A. They all wanted to divorce their wives.
B. They were all heavily involved in debts.
C. They were all recovering from drinking.
D. They had bought new homes, yachts, etc.

Gross profit is the difference between what a business firm sells its product for and what it costs to produce that product. The merchant buys $ 200, 000 worth of merchandise during the year and sells it for $ 270, 000. His gross profit is $ 70, 000.

Expenses for operating the business come to $ 30, 000. Gross profit is $ 70, 000, and net profit is $40, 000.

As a boy, Sanders was much influenced(影响) by books about the sea, but by the age of fifteen he had decided to become a doctor rather than a sailor. His father was a doctor. So he was often with the doctors and got along very well with them. When he was fourteen, he was already hanging around the hospital where he was supposed to be helping to clean the medicine bottles, but was actually trying to listen to the doctors' conversations with patients in the next room.
During the war Sanders served in the army as a surgeon(外科医生). "That was the happiest time of my life. I was dealing with real sufferers and on the whole making a success of my job." In Rhodes he taught the country people simple facts about medicine. He saw himself as a life-saver. He had proved his skill to himself and had a firm belief that he could serve those who lived simply, and were dependent upon him. Thus, while in a position to tell them what to do he could feel he was serving them.
After the war, he married and set up a practice deep in the English countryside, working under an old doctor who hated the sight of blood. This gave the younger man plenty of opportunity(机会) to go on working as a life-saver.
When he was a small boy, books about the sea had made Sanders want to be ______.
A．a surgeon
B．an army man
C．a sailor
D．a life-saver
Section B – TWO questions ONLY to be attempted
Plantex is a large international pharmaceutical company which has been at the forefront of research into developing cures for many tropical diseases. The nature of its business means that continuous and significant financial investment is required for research and development activities, for which its shareholders expect sizeable returns.
At a recent meeting of the board of Plantex, the finance director, Rachel Tang, submitted a paper on integrated reporting ＜IR＞ for discussion and consideration. She advised the board that Plantex had only ever disclosed the minimum information which it was required to by law, but recent developments in the International Integrated Reporting Framework has made a very strong case for broadening the amount of published corporate information.
The primary objective of ＜IR＞ is to demonstrate the clear link between a firm’s competitive strategy, governance system and financial performance, alongside the social, environmental and economic context within which the firm operates. Rachel Tang claimed that by integrating these different areas, the board of Plantex would be in a far better position to allocate its valuable resources more effectively and thereby make more environmental and socially sustainable decisions.
The chairman was highly supportive of the proposal as he had been trying to encourage a corporate citizenship agenda at recent board meetings. He suggested that ＜IR＞ would demonstrate that Plantex took corporate social responsibility seriously by being more transparent, accountable and responsive to its stakeholders’ demands.
Rachel Tang further asserted that ＜IR＞ would have the effect of simplifying published financial information, with excessive detail being removed and critical information being highlighted. If Plantex voluntarily adopted ＜IR＞ , its shareholders, and other stakeholders, would better understand how the firm was really performing and so be able to make a meaningful assessment of the firm’s long-term strategy. This openness could encourage further investment and strengthen the firm’s competitive position.
The chief executive, Stanley Broadway, suggested that this all sounded very good in theory, but he found it hard to justify the extra expense without any recognisable return to shareholders. He said it was ‘just another costly management fad that distracted the company from its real purpose – making money for its shareholders!’
Required:
(a) Explain the concept of corporate citizenship and assess the rights and responsibilities of Plantex as a corporate citizen of society. (7 marks)
(b) Describe the differing opinions about integrated reporting of Rachel Tang and Stanley Broadway and assess them using the relevant Gray, Owen & Adams positions on social responsibility. (6 marks)
(c) (i) Describe the advantages to Plantex and its stakeholders of adopting . (6 marks)
(ii) Explain how using an approach will provide information about the six capitals including the resources and relationships on which Plantex depends. (6 marks)
(i) Mr Lee would subscribe RMB 70,000 yuan in cash and RMB 110,000 yuan in the form. of computer software. He should make the first payment of RMB 20,000 yuan in cash to the special account of the certified public accountant firm, and the remaining RMB 50,000 yuan plus the computer software would be contributed within one year upon the incorporation of the company.
(ii) Mr Wang would subscribe RMB 150,000 yuan in the form. of equipment and land use right and make all the capital contributions within six months upon the incorporation of the company.
(iii) Mr Chan would subscribe RMB 270,000 yuan in cash. The first payment of RMB 90,000 yuan should be made before the incorporation, the remaining RMB 180,000 yuan should be made in the third year upon the incorporation of the company.
Required:
Answer the following questions in accordance with the Company Law of China, and give your reasons for your answers:
(a) discuss whether the initial capital contributions made by the sponsors were in conformity with relevant provisions of law; (3 marks)
(b) discuss the total amount of capital contributions in currency; (3 marks)
(c) state whether the time arrangement of making capital contributions by the three sponsors respectively was in conformity with the relevant provisions of law. (4 marks)
