单选题Keep Your Chin Up! By Charlie Adams
May 26, Vulcan City-More than a thousand summer job-seekers are expected to attend the sixth annual Vulcan City summer job fair to be held in the Vulcan City Convention Center. The fair is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. tomorrow.
Last year, 1,500 job-seekers attended the fair, which is co-sponsored by local companies and Vulcan City Chamber of Commerce. Applicants expect to fill more than 500 seasonal job openings. About 80 employers will be represented at this year"s job fair. They will be searching for workers for Vulcan City"s tourism and hospitality industries.
Howard Barns will pack 40 resumes and put on a bright grey suit. He will go there and look for work at a job fair. Mr. Barns graduated from college last year, but he still cannot find a suitable job. Even so, he is optimistic. "I think I will meet a good employer tomorrow," said Mr. Barns, who lives in Vulcan City, "You know, I am young, and I don"t have to worry so much about my future. I think things will be better tomorrow."
The state"s unemployment rate, while still high at 6.5 percent as of March, is dropping and surveys show that confidence in the economy is growing. That"s right! Someone says "Worry is pulling tomorrow"s clouds over today"s sunshines." Keep your chin up!
单选题From: Gemma Hutchison, GMOTo: Paolo Santos, Hilton FinancialSubject: DeliveryDear Mr. Santos, First of all, I'd like to apologize for the mix-up with your company's order yesterday. As I understand it, you received 10 ink cartridges fewer than you requested and an additional box of printer paper, as well. At GMO, we pride ourselves on our attention to detail, so I immediately began an investigation. It turns out that a member of the administration team caused the problem. He confused your order with that of another firm with a similar name, Hillman Finance. This sort of mistake is unacceptable, and I have given that employee an official warning about his performance. I can assure you that all staff members will take the utmost care to ensure your order is processed correctly in future. The good news is that the correct shipment is now on its way. It should arrive sometime tomorrow afternoon. Please make sure a company representative is on hand to sign the delivery invoice at that time. I understand that our error has caused your firm significant distress, since you are now running low on stationery supplies. As compensation, I am willing to offer a 30% rebate on this order, as well as a $50 credit on your next order with us. I hope that these terms are satisfactory. Regards, Gemma Hutchison — GMO

单选题Greetings, investment enthusiast! Our records tell us that you recently purchased an issue of Queensland Business Weekly from a local TMM Books outlet. We hope you'll take a moment to tell us what you thought of QBW in the comments field below. Comment(s): ______ Queensland Business Weekly has been called "the best source of investment information in northeastern Australia" by EconomyWatch.org. Each week, we bring readers the top headlines from the world of investment banking, interviews with successful venture capitalists and up-and-coming small business owners, and lucrative investment picks from our highly experienced editorial staff. Did you know that a year subscription to QBW can save you up to 60% off the newsstand price? To receive your one-year subscription for the low price of $39.99, simply fill out the information below and mail this form to our subscription office. Or, to find out more, call us at (07) 555-0200, or send us an email at subscriptions@qbw.com. Name: ______ Address: ______ Telephone: ______ Credit Card: ______ From: William Hillary To: Subscription Office, QBW Subject: Subscriptions To Whom It May Concern: My name is William Hillary, and I received your subscription form in the mail last week. I must say, I was impressed with issue #17-A, which I purchased at TMM Books. I particularly enjoyed the interview with the CEO of Righters Bank, Thomas Mansfield. He has been one of my personal inspirations ever since I got into the investment banking business, and I've read a few pieces in which he presented his philosophy so clearly. And, after hearing more about QBW, it does seem to be a high-quality publication. Unfortunately, I am unable to commit to a year's subscription at this time, as I already subscribe to a number of other business journals. I would, however, be interested in learning if you offer subscriptions for shorter durations—say, three or six months. Alternatively, I would like to know if you publish any online content and, if so, whether it is offered free of charge or if there is a subscription fee associated with it as well. And finally, I am curious whether you offer single issues for sale at prices below those found at outlets like TMM Books. - William
