Bartel Manufacturing, Inc.
301 San Andreas Street
Oakland, CA 94621

October 11
Daniel Rhee
Home Country Family Foods
175 Calle del Sol
Cupertino, CA 91031

Dear Mr. Rhee:

Thank you for your interest in Bartel’s food packaging technology.

As we discussed in our telephone conversation, Certain Seal is well suited to the

needs of a
mid-to-large-scale food processing company. It is designed to handle large volumes
and can be
customized for almost any size or shape of food product.
Certain Seal also lengthens the shelf life of your products. As you know, one of
the biggest
causes of food spoilage is excess air left in vacuum-sealed packages. Our system
is especially
effective in eliminating this threat. In the September issue of Industry World
magazine,
comparison testing indicated that Certain Seal removed excess air more efficiently
than similar
vacuum packaging systems (such as the Sigillare 100 produced by TYT Industries)
Food quality is ensured further by the packaging material itself. For the Certain
Seal system,
we use an especially durable plastic that protects foods throughout the freezing,
shipping, and
reheating processes.
This is just an overview of some of the benefits of our technology. I will go into
greater detail
in my October presentation at your office. In order to tailor the presentation to
your needs, I
would like to know more about Home Country’s production requirements. Please
contact me
at our main offices in Oakland at (510) 555-0115 between 9 AM and 6 PM.
Sincerely,
Julie Chan
Sales Director

55. What is most likely Ms. Chan’s goal?

(A) To sell a product to Mr. Rhee’s company
(B) To ask Mr. Rhee for marketing advice
 (C) To interview Mr. Rhee for Industry World

MEMORANDUM
To: All employees
From: Yvonne Nguyen, office manager
Subject: The Clean Earth Program

We actively encourage staff participation in our recycling efforts, “The Clean

Earth Program.”
Many among our staff have been involved with the program since it started nearly a
decade ago,
but some newer employees may not be familiar with it. To that end, I’d like to
meet with
everyone this Friday at 5 P.M. in Staff Room B and show you how the program works.
Attendance is mandatory, and it will take about 20 minutes to run through
everything.

Before we meet, there are a few things you should know. We’re very lucky in that
we could
enlist the help of D&S Removal Services for our recycling needs. They have
provided us with
the big recycling container you see beside the photocopier as well as
comprehensive pick-up
service. You may place any recyclable items – from folders to cell phones to old
printers – into
this box for collection. However, we ask that you return used ink cartridges to
our office
manager, Marge Glowacki, for refilling. If you would like a small container to use
by your desk,
you can request one by calling David Lembke in custodial services at X-5822.
 Through the Clean Earth program, we are striving to recycle at least 70% of our
office waste.
The program got off the ground when our media room librarian, Douglas Yoon, needed
to
 dispose of 200 of our old seminar videotapes. He contacted a friend of his at D&S
Removal
Services, and they immediately set up the convenient pick-up program we have now.
This
means, by the way, that you are welcome to toss your unwanted home videotapes into
the big
collection box for recycling. We hope everyone will do their part in meeting our
recycling goals.

Thank you!
Yvonne Nguyen
Office manager

Market Focus Inc. – Be a Product Tester
Home Community Join
Test products! Earn money! Influence business and industry!

Becoming a product tester for Market Focus Inc. is a great way to earn money, make
your
opinions heard, and even pick up insight into the world of market research. Here
are the answers
to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about product testing.
What kind of company are you, and what do you do?
We are a full-service market research firm that does innovative product tests for
a broad range
of clients including such award-winning companies as Hanson Foods. The company was
founded by market research pioneers David and Beverly Clawson nearly 40 years ago.
We were
nearly bought out by the large firm DK Research last November, but David and
Beverly instead
passed Market Focus Inc. down to their sons, Jeff and Daniel. So, for us, market
research
remains a family affair. We are also a proud member of the National Association of
Food
Engineers.
I want to be a product tester. What do I do next?
Once you are registered to become a product tester for Market Focus Inc., your name
will be
placed on an availability list. When you are chosen for market research, you will
be notified by
phone or e-mail. You will then come to our facility on Logan Street to participate.
Depending
on the study, you may test food items, toys, cell phones, or even large appliances.
To sign up
with us, click the “join” link in the upper right and fill out the electronic
registration form. The
information you provide will go directly to our database, so note that we are not
able to accept
e-mailed applications.
I’ve been chosen for a product test. How does it work?
First, our recruiter will inform you how much your test pays. You will then be
given the survey
forms at our first floor reception area, and go to our research room across the
hallway. The 200-
seat eating area of this modern facility also serves as a working restaurant which
is open for
lunch daily from 11 A.M. to 3 P.M. Please note that you may not bring your own food
and drink
into the room, as it is a controlled environment. For the convenience of families,
there is a
children’s playroom next to the research room. Most of our tests last about an
hour.
How often can I participate in product tests?
Names are chosen by a computer at random, based on factors including age and
product
preferences. You might participate in product tests once or twice in a short time
period, and then
several months will pass before your next test. Some people get called more than
others, but at
most you may do the tests 3-4 times a year.
I’m available for a product test. Can I call you and take part in one?
We’re afraid not. Part of market research is having a random group of participants.
But please
do free to call us to confirm that your contact information is up-to-date.

Cezanta’s Move

Atlanta (United News Service)—Atlanta-based Cezanta Air, the nation’s number four
airline,
announced today that it will cut its domestic airfares significantly. The company
is hoping that
by offering its new promotional fare plan, the carrier will be able to increase
its customer base
and win a greater share of the market. The company promises to charge no more than
$300 for
a one-way economy ticket or $500 for a one-way first-class ticket. The new plan
also includes
the reduction of various ticketing fees and the elimination of several less-
traveled routes at the
end of this year. Cezanta hopes that these changes will raise revenue over the
long term. The
company is also planning to update its airplanes’ interiors and redesign flight
attendants’
uniforms.

Buford Valley Daily News

WILL NEW AIRLINE STRATEGY FLY?
by Ken Daly
Faced with weak revenues, rising labor costs, aggressive pricing from small,
discount
competitors, and most notably high fuel costs, several major air carriers have
struggled
 mightily in the past three years. They have experimented with a wide variety of
marketing
strategies without much success. Recently, Cezanta cut its ticket prices by
nearly 50 percent.
However, it is unlikely that this strategy will result in a major increase in
profits for the
airline, as most of the other large airlines will probably cut their prices to
follow suit. Some
analysts are actually expecting Cezanta’s revenues to fall in the upcoming year.
With fuel
prices expected to continue rising and with the cost of fuel accounting for
nearly 40 percent of
all carriers’ operating expenses, any increase in passenger traffic is unlikely
to offset the
decrease in ticket prices. The one sure thing is that, after December, consumers
flying out of
Buford Valley will no longer be able to take advantage of Cezanta’s price cuts.
96. What is suggested about the airline industry?
(A) Operating costs have recently gone down.
(B) Smaller airlines often offer very low prices.
(C) Ticketing fees will be eliminated.
(D) Airlines have increased the amount spent on advertising.
97. What does Cezanta Air plan to do?
(A) Reduce the number of its international flights
(B) Expand its service on less-traveled routes
(C) Eliminate business-class and first-class seating
(D) Modernize the inside of its aircraft
98. What does Mr. Daly suggest?
(A) Other airlines will try to match Cezanta’s prices.
(B) Smaller airlines will be bought by their larger competitors.
(C) Cezanta’s revenues will increase right away.
(D) Passengers’ opinions influence aircraft design.
99. According to analysts, what is the industry’s greatest challenge?
(A) Outdated equipment
(B) Rising fuel costs
(C) Customer satisfaction
(D) Improving safety
100. What can be inferred about Buford Valley?
(A) It ¡s close to Atlanta
(B) It is the site of a new airport.
(C) Cezanta will move its headquarters there.
(D) Cezanta will not fly there next year.

Questions 73-75 refer to the following notice.

Dear Customers,
After 45 years in business, Ghearey Garden Goods locked its doors for the final
time on Saturday,
January 10. As many of you know, I purchased a farmhouse in the country several
years ago, and I
had been driving three hours a day to get to the store and back (Mỗi ngày lái xe 3
tiếng đi đến của
hàng và quay về). While I am saddened to walk away from this business, it is just
no longer
sustainable for me to spend so much time in transit.
My grandfather, Timothy Ghearey, who built the business nearly 60 years ago before
handing it
off to me, always said that his favorite part about running a retail store was
serving the needs of his
community. I echo this sentiment. Words cannot express how much joy I have received
from
interacting with all of you, and I want you to know how much I value your dedicated
support over
all these years.
Thank you for understanding what a truly difficult decision this was. But while the
physical
Ghearey Garden Goods location is closing, a ghearygardengoods.com will remain
resource for
home gardeners through our Web site. I will keep adding educational blog posts and
articles as I
have time. (Chúng tôi sẽ tiếp tục thêm những bài viết mạng vào báo chí dạy làm
vườn.)
Thank you for your support!

Questions 57-58 refer to the following article.

BAKERSVILLE (August 13)—As confirmed by today’s vote, the city’s building code is
getting a
shake-up. Among the changes to go into effect on November 3 are stricter fire
safety standards for
both commercial and residential buildings, enhanced insulation requirements, and,
most notably, a
requirement that 25 percent of newly constructed residential homes be equipped with
solar panels.

The solar initiative (cải tiến về năng lượng mặt trời) has been met with broad
support among
voters, lawmakers, and home builders. The new rule will increase the total amount
of green energy
produced and reduce dependency on fossil fuels. Supporters also say that increasing
demand for
solar panels and hardware will drive prices down, so that this technology will be
increasingly
affordable. Finally, though the building phase will be more costly than usual,
homeowners will
save on electricity bills in the long term.

The state will open a phone hotline to answer questions from builders, property
owners,
contractors, and other affected parties beginning on October 15 and continuing
through the end of
the year.

57. When does the new code become effective? (Khi nào luật/quy định mới có hiệu

Your Neighborhood Garden Center
Plant Care Tips
Effective plant care starts with choosing the right pot for your houseplant. Make
sure that there are
holes in the bottom of the pot to let water flow out.

Next, purchase soil from your local garden center. Store-bought potting soil
typically contains
fertilizer to help indoor plants grow (Đất để trồng trong chậu mua ở cửa hàng
thường chứa phân
bón giúp cây tăng trưởng). Using dirt from your own outdoor garden is risky. This
dirt can be
filled with insects, disease, and weeds, all of which can be harmful to indoor
plants.

After potting, pour water on the soil and flowers of your plant. Always check the
soil before
watering. If the soil is still moist, there is no need for more water.

To maintain a healthy plant, pinch or cut off parts of the plant that have turned
brown or withered
(Để cây khỏe mạnh, cắt tỉa những nhánh chuyển sang màu nâu hoặc héo). Doing so
helps to
facilitate new growth. Each spring, repot your plant in a larger pot to allow room
for the root
system to grow.

61. Why are readers advised to purchase soil (Tại sao độc giả được khuyên mua đất
sỏi?)?
(A) To avoid digging up their yards
(B) To promote plant growth (Giúp cây tăng trưởng)
(C) To support local garden centers
(D) To ensure that water is evenly distributed
62. What tip is NOT mentioned in the instructions? (Theo hướng dẫn, điều nào sau
đây k đúng?)

(B) Replace the pot every year.
(C) Feel the soil before adding water.
(D) Use a pot with holes in it.
63. The word “turned” in paragraph 4, line 1, is closest in meaning to
(A) built
(B) rotated
(C) disturbed
(D) become (+ Adj= turn+ Adj: chuyển sang/ trở nên/trở thành; turn brown: chuyển

nâu)

Questions 70-73 refer to the following email.

To: elvin.williams@gxtinvestments.com
From: barry.robledo@gxtinvcstments.com
Date: May 17
Subject: 301 N. Powell
Attachment: Photos

Elvin,
I walked through the property at 301 N. Powell Avenue today. I was able to see the
reception area,
the offices, and the kitchen, but the utility closet in the west hallway was
locked. I am sure an
inspector will be able to verify that the furnace and electrical circuit board in
that space are in good
working order should we choose to proceed with a purchase.

The building has all the space we need to accommodate our clients, including a
large parking area.
However, there are some issues that we will need to address (Tuy nhiên còn một số
vấn đề chúng
ta cần giải quyết) if we move forward: the carpet in the reception area is
discolored; some floor
tiles in the east hallway are cracked (một số gạch nền bị nứt); and there is
chipped paint in the
conference room. The small water stain on the ceiling of the conference room may
indicate a leak
in the roof. I have attached photographs of the problem areas.

Given the low price of the property, I think we should consider this location. We
could update the
space and still come in under budget. Our current lease expires in three months, so
we will need to
make a decision quickly. Let me know what you think.

Sincerely,
Barry Robledo
