DATE: April 22
FROM: Andrew Kim
TO: Robert Dawson
SUBJECT: Grand Opening Ceremony
Hello Mr. Dawson,
It was really pleased to talk to you on the phone earlier today. As I hope I made clear to you, it is absolutely essential that we have the sound system package we ordered set up on time, as per the contract signed last week. Ceremonies begin on April 27 at 6:00 p.m. sharp. Your set-up schedule is to include a complete sound check. We don't need a repeat of last time.
Please note that due to construction, it is impossible to use Gate 1. So please have your trucks arrive at Gate 4, by 11:00 A.M. Our staff will call a construction foreman to escort you to the loading bays. In keeping with safety requirements, ensure your crew is equipped with safety vests and safety helmets, or our staff will ask them to leave the site.
If you have any special electrical needs, please contact Philip Jackson, our plant manager. His cell phone number is 604-555-4123.

SUBJECT: Re: Grand Opening Ceremony
Dear Mr. Kim,
It was good to have spoken to you yesterday in person. I wish to assure you that in my new position here at Perfect Sound I will try to provide you with as seamless a process as possible.
Our sound expert, Michael Johnson, is currently scheduled to arrive at 3:00 P.M. to run the sound check, which we think will give us plenty of time to ensure everything will be up and running by the 7:00 P.M. start time.
I note that our installation personnel will be required to wear safety vests and safety helmets. I think this requirement does not apply to Michael because he is not involved in the actual physical set-up.
As regards electrical needs, I have already e-mailed Mr. Jackson all the necessary information. Please feel free to call me at 556-7658 with any concerns you may have.
Thank you for selecting Perfect Sound!
Sincerely,
Robert Dawson
Vice President

SECTION B INTERVIEW
Directions: In this section you will hear everything ONCE ONLY. Listen carefully and then answer the questions that follow. Questions 1 to 5 are based on an interview. At the end of the interview you will be given 10 seconds to answer each of the following five questions.
Now listen to the interview.
听力原文: Sunglasses
Interviewer: Nowadays sunglasses are quite fashionable and are also very cheap. Unfortunately most of the sun admirers don't spend any thought on the quality of the glass itself. The following report will show that this is a mistake. The number of patients, which complain about pain in the eyes first and later also about headache, increases. This fact itself shows that there must be something wrong. Oculists and opticians have more and more patients, as Mr. Michael Johnson, president of the Oculists Association, is verifying during an interview with our reporter.
Mr. Johnson: The amount of eye discomfort is constantly increasing. We interpret this development as follows: Above all the quality of the so-called low-price sunglasses does not lead to the positive effect it should do. During a symposium in London in May oculists were complaining about the increasing number of eye complaints. They predicted that diseases like cataract would evidently increase. In the opinion of the oculists there can be several obvious reasons which are responsible for such a development. The exposure to the ultra-violet rays, those sunrays that are harmful to the eyes, has during the past few years evidently increased in our regions. This is mainly caused by the so-called expanding hole in the ozone layer. Being previously only a problem in the southern countries it is now also affecting us. More and more admirers of the sun spend their winter holidays in the south in order to enjoy the sun and the warmth. In these cases it is important to wear appropriate sunglasses, because the sun there is much stronger than in our regions. Another thing is that a lot of people, who visit the solarium in order to get tanned the year around, forget to wear appropriate protection glasses for the eyes. This also causes injuries in the eyes. But in particular the physicians criticized the wide spread usage of the so-called low-price sunglasses. They are trying to save money at a wrong place. Such low- price glasses do not sufficiently filter out the previously mentioned ultra-violet rays. That is why sunglasses should in every case be bought at an Optician. Good quality sunglasses are most important in the mountains and at the seaside. They are becoming more and more important because of the constantly expanding hole in the ozone layer. With regards to kids low-price sunglasses cause even more serious consequences. Although the pupil of a kid's eye isable to open and close faster than an adult' s eye, it still takes in more rays and therefore gets hurt more easily than the less sensitive adult's eye.
Interviewer: How much money does it cost for a pair of sunglasses appropriate for kids?
Mr. Johnson: You can buy sunglasses for kids at about 15 pounds. If fashion plays a role, that means if the glasses have to be fashionable, then the price will probably range higher. As for the adults, sunglasses should only be made of optical glass, which filters out the ultra-violet rays sufficiently.
Interviewer: A lot of people often complain about the weight of glasses.
Mr. Johnson: Today this should no longer be a problem. Thanks to the research work of the opticians, a new plastic-glass has been developed during the last few years, which is evidently lighter than before. That means that nowadays glasses with plastic-glass are more than half lighter than traditional glasses.
Interviewer: Mr. Johnson, we thank you for the interview.

A.eye disease sufferer

听力原文:W: Do you like to run?
M: Yeah, when the police are chasing me.
W: You know Kerron Clement?
M: Who?
W: Kerron Clement. He just broke the world record in the 400 meter.
M: Right.
W: Did you know that he's only 19 years old? Did you see it on the news?
M: I heard a bit about it.
W: Okay. Well, let's look at the rest. This Florida sophomore ran the 400 meter in 44.57 seconds at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships. He broke the mark of 44.63 seconds set by Michael Johnson in 1995.
M: Hey, I'm fast. I could beat him any day.
W: Yeah, only if there is a $ 20 bill blowing in the wind in front of you. Let's get back to the story now. Clement is from Trinidad and Tobago and moved to the United States when he was 13. He won the NCAA championship in the 400-meter hurdles and then won the world junior championship in the same event. At the junior championships, Clement competed for the United States after earning his U.S. citizenship last summer. He probably could have gone to the Olympics for Trinidad and Tobago last year, but preferred to become an American. Why do you think he wanted to become American?
M: Probably America is his new home and it has better living conditions than back home.
W: Yeah, something like that. He said he loves competition and he wants to train with the best in the world, the Americans.
Why does the professor mention $ 20 bill?
A.To confirm that the student is capable of beating Clement.
B.To show how sincere he is.
C.To give an example of how to run fast.
D.To make a joke about the student's comment.

M: Hi, Ms. Jennings. This is Michael Markinson, the Sales Manager of S.C.Johnson Son Corporation.
W: Oh, Mr. Markinson, you called yesterday.I'm sorry I was away at a business meeting yesterday.
M: That's all right. I'm calling to talk with you about some business.
W: Please go ahead.
M: I have studied the pamphlet of your product and I'm impressed with all the equipment the projector has.
W: That is our newly designed built-in projector.
M: I see. I'm thinking of ordering twenty sets.But there's one problem.
W: What's that?
M: Price. It is not possible for US to make any sales at this price.
W: $ 369 is about as low as we can go.
M: I'm afraid I can't agree with you there. Your price is higher than that of many other companies.
W: But considering the high quality, our price is very reasonable.
M: I don't deny that the projector is of top quality.If you could go a little lower, says 300 for each projector, I'd give you the order right away.
W: Well, I don't know if we can do it. Let me talk to our General Manager.
M: All right. When can I get a reply?
W: Well, I think I can give you a reply the day after tomorrow.
M: That's great. Thank you very much.
W: My pleasure. Goodbye!
M: Goodbye!
