Question Fifteen I have made a reservation for a flight to New York for next week. And I have to pass on the details of this flight to my American friend so that he can book a room for me during my business visit. So could you tell me what time it is in New York?
Question Sixteen Look at the rear-view mirror and the side-view mirror to make sure that no one is coming. You may turn your head to look back, too. Now the gauge on the dashboard says the engine is war, so you can put it into drive.
Question Seventeen Winter will be here in no time, so we have to know that your radiator fluid can withstand freezing point. This gauge will tell us how low the temperature can go before your car's radiator fluid freezes.
Section Two. Questions 18 to 22. Question Eighteen It's amazing to think that the thin thread from cocoons can be woven into such beautiful cloth. This kind of cloth is light and comfortable to wear. So it's often used to make pajamas, shirts, etc. We call it "the Cloth of Kings."
Question Nineteen I think I can pick up some of these items on this Prescription List without your help. Let me see ,two bottles of aspirin ,a roll of adhesive tape ,and a box of Contac.
Question Twenty Black might look too serious for young people of your age. Why don't you try this violet colour in large. You can use the dressing room over there to try it on, if you like. This style suits you.
Question Twenty-one . Vitamin C is certainly one of the most important substances our bodies need. But it's not the only one we need. If you really need to supplement your regular diet ,I suggest you try one of these multivitamins.
Question Twenty-two Only man has the power of speech, and all men have it. The power of speech is one of the most important possessions of the human race. It makes possible the exchange of ideas between men possible as well as the transmission of ideas from father to son.
Part Three. Questions 23 to 30.
Interviews conducted by members of the ECE, (Economic Committee of Europe) with enterprises engaged in third-market cooperation have identified several areas in which problems occurred. Many of these problems are characteristic of the particular industrial sector in which the cooperation takes place and cannot be generalized to supply to other sectors.
When vehicles and machinery made under cooperation arrangements are launched on new markets, substantial modifications may have to be made in basic features. Such changes may be dictated by a lack of servicing facilities for the prescribed frequency of service for the standard model and an operating environment that is different form that prevailing in either of the partner's home markets. Since acceptance of the product in question by the client depends upon the manufacturer successfully satisfying his specifications, the partners must closely coordinate their ordering procedures in such a way that these changed specifications are communicated in time to the manufacturing plants. If the producing enterprise has a long lead time as a result of internal planning procedures, it may find it difficult to make the necessary changes in the standard model during the time available, to the detriment of its relations with clients in the third market. Clearly, this is an area in which effective managerial techniques can prevent such problems from arising. |
