第3题：From: Leslie Wade To: Gregor Slavic Subject:DesignCompetition Hi Gregor, I just received word about an upcoming design competition for the new convention center in Vancouver. If you haven’t heard about it already, please visit www.vancouvercenter.co.cc for more details. The city government, which is commissioning the project, is looking for a bold and innovative design. I immediately thought of you when I read the specifications, as you’re a talented young architect with a unique style and vision. I know you don’t have much experience with this sort of contest, but I’m sure you can produce a winning design. This could be a major contract for our firm so, if you can succeed, it might also take your career to the next level. The closing date for entries is Friday, the 19th of September. I know you are currently working on the project headed by Gary Hutchinson to redesign theEdmonton Shopping Mall, but I think you should still have plenty of time to put together a good design. If you want to meet with me to brainstorm ideas, just let me know. Regards, Lesley Wade From: Gregor Slavic To: Leslie Wade Subject: Re:DesignCompetition Dear Ms. Wade, Thank you for alerting me to this exciting opportunity. It sounds like the organization running the competition is looking for something new and fresh. That’s an interesting challenge for an architect, and I would relish the opportunity to work on an entry. Unfortunately, however, that may not be possible. The work on theEdmonton Shopping Mall project has been delayed by several weeks due to a hold-up in the building consent process. We are working as fast as we can, but it is very frustrating. To be honest, I think the only way I will be able to produce a competition-winning design is that another associate at the firm takes my place on theEdmonton Shopping Mall project. That way, I can concentrate all my efforts on the Vancouver convention center. Perhaps you should talk to the project supervisor to work out a solution. I look forward to hearing back from you about this. Kind regards, Gregor Slavic What is Mr. Slavic frustrated aboutA．Project delays B．Schedule clashes C．Management policies D．Client relations

第4题： TENSING INC、STOCK SPLIT Tensing Incorporated, the hi-techCalifornia company specializing in data storage systems, has announced that it will be proceeding with a two for one stock split this Monday. On October 1st, Tensing shareholders will receive one additional share for every share that they already hold in the company. CEO JuliusBarnaby said that the split was decided after the spectacular rise in the Tensing stock price over the last six months. "We’ve had a great year so far and I’m very confident that the demand for our software solutions will remain strong." The dramatic rise is due to Tensing’s expansion into overseas markets. The company’s systems have now been adopted by over 135 major international corporations and further growth is on the horizon. At the close of the stock market on Friday, Tensing stock was trading at 70 dollars, a 50% increase over last year. Splitting the stock will make more shares available to investors at half the current price, but it will not increase the overall value of a shareholder’s investment.As finance specialist J.J. Holmes ofBroker Securities points out, "a stock split does little more than offer shareholders two share certificates instead of one. Tensing has doubled its stock volume and halved the share value.But at 35 dollars, it’s a more tempting buy." What would you rather have: a twenty dollar bill or two tens Why has Tensing stock risen 50% since last year A、The company transferred its headquarters. B、Financial specialists promoted the stock. C、The company has had increased sales abroaD、 D、The company has cut its costs in half.
