To: Pat Hobby
From: Nick Adams
( 1 ): RECOMMENDED PURCHASE OF THREE AAA-VIDEO CASSETTE RECORDERS
( 2 ):
( 3 )
The purpose of this report is to recommend the purchase of three new VCRs.
( 4 )
We need these VCRs in Management Development Training Department for the following reasons:
1.Currently, our two ABC VCRs (purchased in 1990) break down
approximately twice per week. When this occurs, they are unusable for ten
hours per week and cost the department $150 each for weekly repairs.
2.Our department has acquired four new trainers. We offer 25 percent more
management development courses this year than we did last year.
Enrollment has increased 115 percent. These factors, coupled with the
increased use of video presentations, require working VCRs.
( 5 )
Our vendor contacts are as follows:
ABC Electeck XYZ Inc. AAA Electronics
Steve Ross Jay Rochlin Karen Allen
415-628-9704 415-489-7286 415-459-3872
( 6 )
( 7 )
The following criteria were considered when I compared the three top selling VCRs:
1.Maintenance –We need to purchase a VCR heater which comes with a
frequent service agreement.
2.Service Personnel—The service people should be trained by the
company that sells the VCR.
3.Warranty –The warranty should be for at least one year.
4.Cost—The VCR should cost no more than $1,000.
( 8 )
The following table compares the top three electromagnetic heater I researched:
Table Criteria Comparison
Criteria AAA ABC XYZ
Maintenance Quarterly Biannual No Options
Service Personnel AAA Certifies Subcontracted No option
Warranties 1year Parts 90 Days Parts 1year Parts
and labor and labor and labor Cost $950 $899 $1,500
( 9 )
Although the ABC and XYZ VCRs are good pieces of equipment, neither meets all our criteria. In particular their service personnel are not trained by the VCR manufacturers. Also the X YZ VCR, our current model, is the most expensive and offers the fewest service options.
( 10 )
Given the combination of cost, service contracts, and warranties, AAA is our best choice for purchase. With three new AAA VCRs, we will be able to offer more efficient and effective seminars to a greater number of company personnel. We recommend that purchase and delivery be effected by Sept. 15, 1997.

III.Summary writing
Directions: Write a summary of the following story. Write the answer on the Answer Sheet. (20%)
The story goes that some time ago, a man punished his three-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and he became infuriated when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree.
Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy." He was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found the box was empty. He yelled at her, "Don't you know that when you give someone a present, there's supposed to be something inside the box?"
The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said, "Oh, Daddy, it is not empty. I blew kisses into the box. All for you, Daddy."
The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness. It is said that the man kept that gold box by his bed for years and whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.
In a very real sense, each of us as humans has been given a gold container filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, friends, family, or God. There is no more precious possession that anyone could hold.

英语写作试题（一） I. Supply the missing paragraph (20 points) The following passage is incomplete with one body paragraph missing. Study the passage carefully and write the missing paragraph in about 100 words. Make sure that your tone and diction are in unity with the passage provided. Attaining Success in College Succeeding in college is not only important to getting and education, but also crucial in this day and age to success in the work place. To me, the three most important things for attaining a successful college experience are having smart classroom conduct, taking advantage of campus resources, and making college the first priority. _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ Making good use of campus resources is also of great importance to college success. The school library has many resources for the growth of the students’ mind. With computers and copy-machines for individual use, computer labs and writing labs are there not just for learning purposes but also for actual help with writing papers. The “office hours” will help the students build a close relationship with their professors and give them access to the professors’ mind. From the professors the students can acquire possible extra information that may put them ahead of their study. All these resources are free, since they are funded by student tuitions. So taking good advantage of the resources can only make the students’ education more attainable. Finally, any students who want to assure success must establish school as the top priority. Personally I have watched some students slowly loosen up; I have seen a pattern of partying and a lack of motivation. Many of the freshmen have no idea why they are in college, and their “eyes” often tell it all. This world is so rich in distractions that it is hard to keep a strong focus, especially if one is just starting his or her academic career. It is said that the first semester is often the most “unsuccessful” one. This certainly rings true for me. I made mistakes in this regard and eventually learned that, to achieve success, school must always be placed above other things. In my college experience, I have observed and learned how to achieve success. I wish someone had told me earlier the importance of having that smart classroom conduct, of fully utilizing the school resources, and of making college my top priority. Then, my college beginnings would not have been so rocky and tough. II. Write an outline (20 points) Read the following passage carefully and compose a “topic outline” for it. Smell Smell, as a means of nonverbal communication, is important. Odor communicates not only when we are face to face with another person, but also when the other personis not present. People from different cultures may have different attitudes toward body odors. Most people in the West respond negatively to what they consider bad odors such as body odor, breath odor, or
