单选题This notice concerns all employees who use the conference rooms. Starting immediately, you will need to officially reserve any conference room you wish to use. Any reservations of longer than three consecutive hours will require the written approval of your department manager. Reservation forms are available in the employee lounge. You must submit each form to your department secretary at least three business days in advance. If you need to cancel a meeting, please be sure to inform the secretary so that your reservation may be canceled as well. Any employees using the conference rooms without proper authorization will be asked to leave. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter. Joseph Mohammad Assistant Director of Operations From: Holly Graham ＜graham1917@nkkcompany.com＞ To: Joseph Mohammad ＜mohahello@nkkcompany.com＞ Subject: About the reservation of conference room Dear Joseph, I'm writing in response to your notice on reserving conference rooms. As a company sales manager, I have to say that my salespeople are not too happy with this sudden change in procedure. Please keep in mind that they are often away on business trips or working on other assignments that keep them out of the office for long periods of time. They simply don't have the time to check the schedule and make reservation like on-site employees. If one of our clients shows up unexpectedly, it will be embarrassing for everyone if we don't have a conference room available. I'd like you to consider making an amendment to the rule, allowing our sales force to reserve conference rooms at short notice. Thanks. Holly Graham

单选题 Since the early 1930s, Swiss banks had prided themselves on their system of banking secrecy and numbered accounts. Over the years, they had successfully withstood every challenge to this system by their own government who, in turn, had been frequently urged by foreign governments to reveal information about the financial affairs of certain account holders. The result of this policy of secrecy was that a kind of mystique had grown up around Swiss banking. There was a widely-held belief that Switzerland was irresistible to wealthy foreigners, mainly because of its numbered accounts and bankers' reluctance to ask awkward questions of depositors. Contributing to the mystique was the view, carefully propagated by the banks themselves, that if this secret was ever given up, foreigners would fall over themselves in the rush to withdraw money, and the Swiss banking system would virtually collapse overnight. To many, therefore, it came like a bolt out of the blue, when, in 1977, the Swiss banks announced they had signed a pact with the Swiss National Bank (the Central Bank). The aim of the agreement was to prevent the improper use of the country's bank secrecy laws, and its effect to curb (遏制) severely the system of secrecy. The rules which the banks had agreed to observe made the opening of numbered accounts subject to much closer scrutiny than before. The banks would be required, if necessary, to identify the origin of foreign fund going into numbered and other accounts. The idea was to stop such accounts being used for dubious (可疑的) purposes. Also, they agreed not to accept funds resulting from tax evasion or from crime. The pact represented essentially a tightening up of banking rules. Although the banks agreed to end relations with clients whose identities were unclear or who were performing improper acts, they were still not obliged to inform on a client to anyone, including the Swiss government. To some extent, therefore, the principle of secrecy had been maintained.

单选题H It was the summer of 1965. DeLuca, then 17, visited Peter Buck, a family friend. Buck asked DeLuca about his plans for the future. "I'm going to college, but I need a way to pay for it," DeLuca recalls saying. "Buck said, You should open a sandwich shop." That afternoon, they agreed to be partners. And they set a goal. to open 32 stores in ten years. After doing some research, Buck wrote a check for $1000. DeLuca rented a storefront (店面) in Connecticut, and when they couldn't cover their start-up costs, Buck kicked in another $1000. But business didn't go smoothly as they expected. DeLuca says, "After six months, we were doing poorly, but we didn't know how badly, because we didn't have any financial controls. " All he and Buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs. DeLuca was managing the store and going to the University of Bridgeport at the same time. Buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York. They'd meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping the business running. "We convinced ourselves to open a second store. We figured we could tell the public, "We are so successful, we are opening a second store." And they did-in the spring of 1966. Still, it was a lot of learning by trial and error. But the partners "learn-as-you-go approach turned out to be their greatest strength. Every Friday, DeLuca would drive around and hand-deliver the checks to pay their suppliers. It probably took me two and a half hours and it wasn't necessary, but as a result, the suppliers got to know me very well, and the personal relationships established really helped out," DeLuca says. And having a goal was also important. "There are so many problems that can get you down. You just have to keep working toward your goal," DeLuca adds. DeLuca ended up founding Subway Sandwich, the multimillion-dollar restaurant chain.
