Brendan,
I think I found the perfect activity for Mr. Mendoza when he's visiting the Honolulu offices next month. Check out this Web site: www.oahusharkadventure.com
This might seem a little extreme, but we all know how much Mr. Mendoza loves the ocean and scuba diving. We bring him scuba diving on every trip he takes out here. But I also know that he's fascinated by sharks. The last time he was in Hawaii he was reading a book about them and would bring them up in conversation every chance he had. So I think this would be perfect for him — something different but something he would enjoy very much.
My brother-in-law went on a shark adventure through Oahu Shark Adventure when my sister and her family came to visit me last summer. He said it was very safe, very well organized, and an experience that he will never forget.
So what do you think? Perhaps we can discuss the idea with the whole team on Thursday. We can find out if we have any volunteers to go on a shark-viewing adventure with Mr. Mendoza — if we're all in agreement that it's a good idea.

Passage 2
The number of executive branch employees retiring this fiscal year, which ends next month, is on track to be nearly twice the total who retired in 2009, according to government figures. And the rate looks certain to _1_. In 2000, about 94,000 people age 60 and older worked for the government. Last year, the number was 262,000. The wave of retirement is helping to bring down the size of the federal _2_ and—where funding is available—could afford agencies the chance to hire younger workers with _3_ skills. The retirement of clerks could clear the way for experts in cyber security and information technology. But among those leaving are people with specific _4_ that cannot easily be replaced—for instance, nuclear physicists at the Energy Department and a large number of air traffic controllers who were hired three decades ago. And with most hiring on hold, the _5_ are already reshaping agencies that cannot replace most of the retirees or mentor and train new executives. In some corners of government, the challenge is grim. By 2016, _6_. 42 percent of the Department of Housing and Urban Development workforce will be _7_ to retire. At the Small Business Administration, it’s 44 percent. There is no _8_ retirement age for most civilian federal employees, but retiring is looking ever more attractive, employees say, with their salaries frozen for three years by Congress and public service _9_ by many politicians. “It finally got to the point where I got completely _10_ said Richard Swensen, 60, who retired from the Agriculture Department last year after 38 years. “You get weary of work that doesn’t pay off.”
A) abolished
B) payroll
C) mandatory
D) previously
E) crucial
F) departures
G) huddles
H) eligible
I) disappointed
J) criticized

第1空答案是:
听力原文:M: Hi, Jane...Say, are you OK? You've looking a bit tired.
W: Oh, I am. It's my neighbors.
M: Oh, so they're acting up again. Huh?
W: Unfortunately, yes, they are.
M: Loud music?
W: Not exactly. You've been to my apartment, right?
M: Yeah, I've been there once. It's a nice place.
W: Well, thank you. So you remember I live on the top floor. Well, last night, around eleven, my neighbors decided to go up on the roof of my apartment building!
M: The roof? Really?
W: Yeah. They had this guy in from out of town and they wanted to show him the view! Can you believe it? I'm soundly asleep, and all of a sudden I hear "stomp, stomp, stomp!" They're walking around on the roof. It sounded like my ceiling was going to fall in.
M: So what did you do?
W: Well, after about ten minutes, I got dressed and went up there to tell them to be quiet. I was so mad. Then of course after that, I couldn't go back to sleep.
M: Oh, don't you hate when that happens? You can't fall asleep, and then before you know it, it's morning and the alarm clock is going off.
