From: Terrance Hartley, Vice-president To: Charles West, Senior Marketing Manager Date: Friday, August 24, 09:28 Subject: Inventory Dear Mr. Hartley, I would like to suggest that we increase our stock of Kubota products this coming holiday season and decrease our SpacerX inventory. Based on our research, we project holiday sales of Kubota products could be over 45% higher than SpacerX products even though the goods are often considered comparable in quality and SpacerX is actually much lower in price. I was e-mailed yesterday by Ivana Krsycewski, who offered us additional wholesale discounts on SpacerX products. These discounts do indeed make the SpacerX attractive from a price perspective. She also reminded us that SpacerX won several awards at the Berlin Electronics Show last year. Nevertheless, based on our projections above we believe we would still earn more income from Kubota than SpacerX. That being the case, I was thinking of adding these products to our current store product line. Kubota Prince office and home office copier Kubota Sparrow2 Fax

How many Power Savers items did Li Mei Fong purchase? A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】这道题问的是“数量”,所以我们应该仔细看看调查表。由调查表可以了解一些“Power Savers”和“Li Mei Fong”的相关信息。由开头可以得知,“Power Savers”是商店的名字,“Li Mei Fong”是商品的购买者。调查表中记录了“Li Mei Fong”购买的三种商品。此外,在“Other”一栏中还写着“I also bought another item”,所以加起来一共是4件。因此是(C)。

What does Charles West suggest doing? A. Asking for discounts B. Expanding selection C. Delaying a purchase D. Changing delivery schedules
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】这道题需要我们从文中找出Charles West的主张。答案其实就藏在第三段的“I was thinking of adding these products to our current storeproduct line”这一句中。(B)“Expanding selection”是对“addingthese products”进行的同义转述,因此(B)就是。实际上,在解这道题时,如果我们一看到邮件中所罗列的“Kubota”产品,就能发觉到这些产品似乎与题目有关联,那么也就能很快解出这道题了。所以在做题时,我们不妨偶尔也调动一下第六感,或许会帮我们提高答题效率呢。
