For any questions or concerns about this itinerary, please contact Sheldon Jones at Velocity Travel Agency. From: Rod Bohman To: inquiries@velocity.tom Subject: Itinerary Dear Sheldon, Thank you for sending me a copy of the itinerary for my trip to Hong Kong next week. I just have a couple of quick questions for you. Firstly, some urgent Business has just come up. I will need to Be in the UK on the morning of the 25th to lead a workshop on computer skills. It would Be Better if I could be there a day in advance to set up the facilities and meet with the organizers. Is it possible to make the necessary rearrangements to the schedule? Secondly, I do not recall requesting a Business class seat for either leg of the trip. If the business class seat on the flight from London to Hong Kong is complimentary—either Because I have been awarded an upgrade By the airline or Because Velocity is offering me a special benefit—then I am happy to accept this kind offer. However, if I am expected to pay extra for this leg of the trip, I would much prefer to sit in economy class. I hope you can illuminate this situation so that there is no misunderstanding. Rod Bohman

单选题 Questions 155-157 refer to the following article. These days, everybody buys computer software. Consumers purchase all kinds of software, from games for the kids to highly sophisticated professional programs and everything in between. Computer software has become part of everybody's daily life, and this is just one more thing adding to an ever-growing problem. The excessive packaging on computer software is joining catchy wrappers, durable plastic and cardboard boxes, plastic jugs, and other types of packaging in the trash. Everything we buy is packaged in one way or another. When we get our purchases home, we unwrap them and throw the packaging in the trash. It then ends up in the nation's garbage dumps. Communities all around the country are struggling with the problem of where to put all this waste. Much of this excessive packaging serves only to make the products more attractive to consumers. It catches the eye but does not really protect the goods from damage. Environmentalists are asking consumers to say "No!" to wasteful packaging practices. Please purchase only those products that come with a minimum of packaging or that are packaged in 100% recycled materials.
