【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】Man: The big news this year without doubt has been the reallocation of resources within the company. Some departments now have much less to spend and have had to lose a considerable number of staff but others are expanding at great speed and are recruiting new people almost every week.

【答案解析】Woman: It would have made a great difference to next year's budget. We would be able to afford a significant increase in the wage bill, even create some new positions, but now things aren't looking so good. It's hard to believe they decided to cancel.

【正确答案】 G

【答案解析】Man: I think things are going to be different from now on. I'm not sure that they'll be any better but at least we should know what's going on. Uh, look at the schedule he's given us for next month: two meetings a week minimum and a daily update on departmental activity on the network. I like Mr Renalds, but you must admit he wasn't very good at office communications.

【正确答案】 E

【答案解析】Man: I'm looking forward to it. I know we see each other every day and it'll be the same old faces, but I think it's a good opportunity to get to know each other better. I understand they decide to do something different every two or three months, which I think is excellent. It's surprising that nobody's thought of this before, you know.

【正确答案】 H

【答案解析】Woman: It's made a big difference already, before I used to spend ages looking things up in menus. And now it's all there right in front of me, Sally and I can get things done in half the time now. That leaves us plenty of time to do all the other administrative work that we never used to have time for. In fact, I don't know why I objected so strongly to having it in the first place.
