PERCHTA APPOINTS NEW CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER
VIENNA, February 4 - Perchta Incorporated, one of Austria's largest department store chains, recently named former vice president for operations Leonie Gruber as its new chief operating officer. Ms. Gruber replaced Johann Mueller, who retired on January 28 after 35 years of service to the company.
In her new post, Ms. Gruber will be responsible for all of Perchta's day-to-day sales, marketing, and service operations. She will also play a key role in developing strategic retailer-supplier relationships, which will ensure Perchta's flexibility in the constantly changing marketplace.
Ms. Gruber has more than 20 years of experience in operations management and strategic communications. Since she joined Perchta as a marketing supervisor 12 years ago, she has been instrumental in securing the company's position as an industry leader.
"I believe Perchta has the potential to become one of Europe's premier retail chains." Ms. Gruber said during a telephone interview. "As we open our first overseas branch in Argentina in June, I look forward to contributing to our company's continued success."

From: Esther Schwarz Date: February 5 Subject: Leonie Gruber article Hi Franz, As you know, I've been organizing a portrait photo exhibit of some of the country's most successful business executives. I read your article yesterday about Leonie Gruber's recent promotion at Perchta Incorporated, and I was wondering if you could give me her phone number and e-mail address. I'm interested in featuring her as a subject in my exhibit, which will be launched in the same month that Perchta's Argentine branch opens. Thanks, and I hope you can accommodate my request. Esther Schwarz

单选题
When will Ms. Schwarz launch her photo exhibit?
【正确答案】
D
【答案解析】解析：本题需要综合考虑两篇文章的内容后做出选择。题目是问施瓦茨女士何时(When)举办影展。这就需要我们首先到第二封施瓦茨女士写的邮件中去寻找线索。 第二封邮件中提到“…my exhibit，which will be launched in the same month that Perchta’s Argentine branch opens．”，可知Perchta公司在阿根廷的分公司开张的那个月施瓦茨女士将举办影展，这是第一条线索。但我们还不知道Perchta公司在阿根廷的分公司何时开张。第一篇文章中提到“…we open our first overseas branch in Argentina in June…”，由此可知其开张时间是在6月，这是第二条线索。 结合这两条线索，可推断施瓦茨女士将在6月举办影展，故选(D)In June。
