单选题The Bond Street Journal folds, to Reemerge Online Hornbull Corporation has announced it will cease publication of The Bond Street Journal, effective January l, ending the newspaper"s 60-year run as the nation"s leading source of financial news. On the company"s Web site, CEO Jack Diamond explains that the newspaper will continue to exist, but only in cyberspace. "With the excessively high cost of printing daily, the board of directors wisely decided to pursue an Internet-only strategy first proposed two years ago," he said. It was further revealed that The Bond Street Journal"s 200,000 subscribers would automatically receive free subscriptions to the online version of The BondStreet Journal. Hombull will still publish its most popular monthly titles, Observer, Magnate, and Livret, which continue to enjoy significant newsstand sales. Among the remaining industry players, Deep Blue"s Oracle is expected to emerge as The Bond Street Journal"s successor, although most observers believe it is only a matter of time before all print publications make the transition online.

单选题 Questions 172-174 refer to the following article. Surveys have found that wages and benefits are not always the major determining factor for employees who are looking to move between jobs. David Bikowski is a case in point. Last year he was laid off from his production job at a factory where he had worked for close to eight years. After several months of searching for a new job, he found employment at another factory in a nearby town. Although he would earn $100 a week less in the new position than he did at his old one, he took the job. He has a family to support and couldn't afford to stay out of work much longer. Just a few months after starting at his new position, he received an offer to return to his old job at his old salary. Bikowski decided to turn the offer down. Why? Because, he says, he finds that his new workplace is much less stressful than the old one. "We've been able to get by on what I've been earning at Strathmore (his new employer), and I know I'll be getting the usual raises as time goes on," he explains. "And it's better for my family in ways that money can't pay for. I'm more relaxed when I get home, I have better quality time with my kids. That's worth more than money to me." Bikowski represents a growing sentiment among the country's workforce. More and more workers are looking for less stressful lives, sociologists say. Work conditions are often given equal weight with wages and benefits when job decisions are made.

单选题Tylo Manufacturing Group Settlesby Road # 19 London 94E 29F United Kingdom Vicente Diaz, CEO SouthMex Machine Tools Inc. 1490 La Plaza De Rosas Mexico City, Mexico 317-VJ2 October 13 Dear Mr. Diaz, I watched you with interest the other day on the Business Now talk show. I haven't seen you since we were at Michigan Bend University together, so I was certainly surprised to find you'd become so successful so quickly. You stated on the show that your company, SouthMex Machine Tools, sells equipment and services that are superior to any other company in maximizing factory productivity. I saw that you were able to defend that opinion even against challenges from the host and other show guests. I also noticed how you talked a bit about new technologies that your company has designed for manufacturers not only in South America but in North America, Europe and Asia. I must confess that your company's performance statistics and technological breakthroughs were very impressive-and they fit our own business needs. Indeed, regarding those needs, we are asking suppliers to present competitive offers on October 29 at our Chicago engineering office. The selected company will take care of our requirements globally. After seeing you on TV, I would like to invite your company to participate as well. Companies participating must explain in detail why they would be best suited to supply our factories, including providing samples of their most advanced equipment and detailed fee schedules. Our current suppliers have of course been welcomed to join this process, including our major one in Bangalore. However, the successful candidate company will be the one that provides the most compelling terms, not necessarily the one we have worked together the longest with. If you do plan to come, please contact me at the e-mail address below. I look forward to hearing from you, and perhaps visiting your headquarters the next time I'm in Mexico City. Regards, Anndd Frye Arnold Frye, CEO Tylo Manufacturing Group arnoldl@tylogroup.co.uk
