Subject: Inspection,D4 toaster
Carlton, I’m doing a product testing on the ToastMasterD4Bread Toaster this week, and I’ve encountered a unit that gives me cause for concern. The product number isD4-230943-F, and I’ve found that when all four toaster slots are in use, the unit overheats to dangerous levels.Clearly, there is a problem with the temperature control apparatus, because according to the product specifications, the maximum heat yield should be well within safety limits.
I see here that an inspector from your department,ElisaChow, signed off on this unit when it came through her station last week. I’d like for you to speak with Ms.Chow and find out how this defect managed to make it past her scrutiny. I’ve already talked to Marshall Lander, the product designer, and he feels this is probably an isolated incident.But we need to get to the root of the problem before we send these toasters out into the market.

TheCouncil was persuaded by the architectural designs presented by SouthwestAsia OneDevelopmentCorporation. The corporation’sCEO, Rasoul Qureshi, showed how the construction of the 49-floorCrescentCloud would draw over $7oo million in investment, as it would convince more international corporations to establish their regional headquarters in the building. The tall office complex would also be a way to raise the global profile of both Lahore and Pakistan.
Not everyone agreed with the plan, however. TheBeautiful Lahore environmental group had campaigned intensively against theCrescentCloud, proposing a new park in the downtown area insteaD、In an interview with the Pakistan Today TV program,Beautiful Lahore director Madran Khaur said, "I understand that the new complex is good for the nation’s economy.

HooversBookstore, corner of Masby St. and 3rdAve., from 6 pm to 7 pm on May 13 World-renowned Indian author Madhu Gupta will be in the store to sign copies of her much-anticipated autobiography. The book, entitled Madhu, traces her life from the streets of Mumbai to her success as a novelist. It gives readers a chance to see inside the mind of this creative genius.
Ms. Gupta will deliver a short speech at the start of the event. She will then be available to sign copies of the book and chat with her fans. Tickets for this event are limited, so please visit HooversBookstore to reserve yours right away.
Madhu *****
Madhu Gupta’s long-awaited autobiography lives up to all expectations. She promised to write the book nearly a decade ago, but continued putting off the project because she claimed it was too difficult to write. Now that it is finished, it is not hard to see why she felt this way. The early chapters show that she had a very troubled childhooD、As a homeless orphan in Mumbai, she was in a desperate and dangerous situation. Her life changed when she was adopted by a kind elderly couple. Her new parents, Sanjeev and Sunita, taught her how to read and write, and she discovered a passion for language and literature.
Madhu is a deeply moving story. Like Gupta’s best works of fiction, it features vivid descriptions of particular scenes. The characters are also very clearly and cleverly describeD、What the story lacks, however, is Gupta’s famous sense of humor, especially in the first half of the book. There are no light or amusing episodes to keep the reader entertaineD、At a recent book signing at HooversBookstore in NewYork, Gupta admitted that she had intentionally made the tone as heavy and serious as possible because she wanted the book to be an intense emotional experience. She has certainly succeeded in her aim.
Madhu is not the sort of book you can pick up for a quick reaD、It is, however, a book that will challenge you and make you think deeply. In my opinion, Madhu is the best work of non-fiction published so far this year.
What is indicated about the author’s childhoodA．She was neglected by her adoptive parents.
B．She survived alone on the city streets for a while.
C．She often got into trouble with the authorities.
D．She grew up in a Mumbai orphanage.
