AA 26 一个定位于高端客户的grocery store，想通过消减成本提高利润。所以建议每个store裁掉10个雇员，并不再设昂贵的展示品和免费的小样。另外，某个survey表明，该store和某个Cafe shop定位的客户群一样，所以建议和这家店建立partnership，即在商店中设一个coffee counter。 可以说的点有很多 27
The following appeared in a letter from a part-owner of a small retail clothing chain to her business partner: “Commercial real estate prices have been rising steadily in the Sandida Heights neighborhood for several years, while the prices in the adjacent neighborhood of  alm Grove have remained the same. It seems obvious, then, that a retail space in Sandida Heights must now be much more expensive than a similar space in alm Grove, which was not the case several years ago. So, it appears that retail spaces in Sandida Heights are now overpriced relative to those in alm Grove. Therefore, it would be in our financial interest to purchase a retail space in alm Grove rather than in Sandida Heights.” Discuss how well reasoned . . . etc. 28 The following appeared as part of an article in the business section of a local newspaper:
“The owners of the Cumquat Café evidently made a good business decision in moving to a new location, as can be
seen from the fact that the Café will soon celebrate its second anniversary there. Moreover, it appears that businesses
are not likely to succeed at the old location: since the Café’s move, three different businesses—a tanning salon, an
antique emporium, and a pet-grooming shop—have occupied its former spot.” 29 The following appeared in a memorandum from the CEO of a consumer electronics manufacturing firm to the head of the company's human resources department, who is responsible for hiring new employees: “Eight years ago, our firm’s profits were increasing with each new employee we added. We discovered that each employee had the skills and motivation to generate more revenue for the firm than his or her salary cost us. However, for the past two years, our profit margin has been falling, even though we have continued to add employees. Thus, our newer employees are not generating enough revenue to justify their salaries. We must not be hiring new employees with the same level of skills and motivation as those we used to attract. Clearly, then, failures in the human resources department account for our falling profits.” Discuss how well reasoned . . .etc. 30 The following appeared in the editorial section of a local newspaper. “In the first four years that Montoya has served as mayor of the city of San erdito, the population has decreased and the unemployment rate has increased. Two businesses have closed for each new business that has opened. Under Varro, who served as mayor for four years before Montoya, the unemployment rate decreased and the population increased. Clearly, the residents of San erdito would be best served if they voted Montoya out of office and reelected Varro.” 31 The following appeared as part of a business plan created by the management of the Take Heart Fitness Center. “After opening the new swimming pool early last summer, Take Heart saw a 12 percent increase in the use of the center by members. Therefore, in order to increase the number of our members and thus our revenues, which depend on membership fees, we should continue to add new recreational facilities in subsequent years: for example, a multipurpose game room, a tennis court, and a miniature golf course. Being the only center in the area offering this range of activities would give us a competitive advantage in the health and recreation market.”
32 “Over the past decade, the price per pound of citrus fruit has increased substantially. Eleven years ago, Megamart charged 5 cents apiece for lemons, but today it commonly charges over 30 cents apiece. In only one of these last eleven years was the weather unfavorable for growing citrus crops. Evidently, then, citrus growers have been responsible for the excessive increase in the price of citrus fruit, and strict pricing regulations are needed to prevent them from continuing to inflate prices.” 33 说S国贸易赤字。所以S准备提高sugar的sales，sugar是该国出口的主要部分。S打算降低sugar价钱，这样就能更好地与其他sugar出口国竞争。通过降低sugar价钱，sales aboad将提高，该国的贸易赤字将缓解 34（AI） “Employers should have no right to obtain information about their employees’ health or other aspects of their personal lives without the employees’ permission.” 35 The following appeared as part of an article in a magazine devoted to regional life. “Corporations should look to the city of Helios when seeking new business opportunities or a new location. Even in the recent recession, Helios’s unemployment rate was lower than the regional average. It is the industrial center of the region, and historically it has provided more than its share of the region’s manufacturing jobs. In addition, Helios is attempting to expand its economic base by attracting companies that focus on research and development of innovative technologies.”

30 providing the health care should be the foundamental responsibility of government 31 “If a nation is to ensure its own economic success, it must maintain a highly competitive educational system in which students compete among themselves and against students from other countries.” 33 “The value of any nation should be measured more by its scientific and artistic achievements than by its business successes.” Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the opinion stated above. Support your views with reasons and/or examples from your own experience, observations, or reading. “任何国家的价值应该更多根据它的科学和艺术成就来衡量而非根据它的商业成就。” 34 To preserve national securities, government should be authorized keep secrete any information they wish.
35 “People are likely to accept as a leader only someone who has demonstrated an ability to perform the same tasks that he or she expects others to perform.”Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the opinion stated above. Support your views with reasons and/or examples from your own experience, observations, or reading. 37 Constant innovation and changes within organization are as likely to damage as to improve
38 powerful business leader has far more opportunity to influence the community and the nation than does government official. 39 some people think people depend too much on computers while others argue that computers are continuelly improving our lives. 40 (好像是新题) 大意: Many people complain that people are more and more dependent on computers（原话). . But lots of people still believe that computers have been continually improving our lives (这是原话). 请参考In this age of automation, many people complain that humans are becoming subservient to machines. But, in fact,machines are continually improving our lives.” 41 Because significant technologies and demand for certain services changes, employees lose their jobs easily. It is the responsibility for employees to adjust themselves for such changes as individual worker, not government or the business
