A
【答案解析】[解析] 71-73
Thank you all for attending today's meeting. I appreciate the fact that you are very busy, so I understand the sacrifice you have made today to be here. The reason we asked you here today is to discuss an alarming rise in the incidence of office property theft. This may seem like a minor matter, but every year this problem costs the company more than a million dollars. Starting tomorrow, we are going to interview everyone in the company to find ways this problem can be solved. If you have any suggestions we would prefer it if you can raise them at your one-on-one meeting, and not at today's meeting. Our security manager, John Bow, will be conducting the interviews and will contact you later in the day to schedule an interview. Thanks for your cooperation.

中级问题
简单的寒暄后有一句The reason we asked you here today is to...,很多人可能会把后面的话当成答案而选错。问题问的是更加具体的目的,最佳答案在中间部分的Starting tomorrow,we...be solved一句中。像本题一样在开头部分很难找到明确的主题的情况时有出现,一定要注意。
