【正确答案】A: Escaping the hustles and bustles of the city is a pursuit in vogue. Conference centers are catering to this desire too. That's why so many of them are located in tranquil parks. I've seen the narrow streets surrounding a conference center jammed all day long, which is a negative example. I would choose a place to hold the meetings where people can come and go with ease. To select the right location is always important in doing business. For a conference center, a company-intensive downtown area is not a bad choice. But there's also a trend to move towards the suburbs.
B: Whether the atmosphere is lively or not is up to the host's coordination. For instance, he can designate someone to lead the way in applauding to break awkward silences. Chinese people are famous for hospitalities. We usually give a grand banquet to entertain distinguished guests. Chinese cuisine is delicious and healthy, and most visitors will enjoy it. Besides eating and drinking, our guests need more. To liven things up, we'd better call up a host of singers, dancers and even acrobats if possible to offer them a pleasant surprise.
