问答题Briefly summarize the problem the speakers are discussing.
Then state which solution you would recommend. Explain the reasons for your
recommendation. SAMPLE RESPONSE
Score:______ "The woman has a problem. She lives in an
apartment off campus. She rides the bus to school, but the bus schedule doesn't
work well for her. Her class starts at seven o'clock, but the bus leaves at six
o'clock. She arrives at campus too early for her class. The speakers discuss
possible solutions to the problem. One solution is a bicycle. If the woman had a
bicycle, she could leave her apartment later because she would not have to get
up early to take the bus. I recommend that she gets a bicycle. I prefer this
solution because she could arrive at campus at a better time. Also, she could
ride her bicycle on a path by the river, which would be safe and
pleasant." 1. Does the response accurately summarize the
problem? What details from the conversation are included?
2. What opinion is stated in the response? What reason is given to support
this opinion? 3. Evaluate the sample response according
to the descriptions of the four levels on page 331. What score do you think the
response should receive? Why?

业务题就food irradiation是否应该被强制执行展开讨论Reading： 1. Irradiation improves the food safety. It can kill 90-99% pathogens and virus of food. 可以杀灭大多数的细菌，对人的身体很健康。 2. Irradiation can prevent food from spoiling. 可以延缓蔬果成熟的时间，保存更长久。 3. 虽然会导致营养流失，但是只占营养的10%，和其他食品加工造成的效应差不多，所以不算损害大。 Listening反驳： 1. 这样可能导致1%的病原体发展成超级病原体（因为抗体比较强，难杀灭）， 对人的身体危害更大。 2. 虽然可以防腐，但也阻止了水果的成熟。如番茄红色素沉淀说明成熟，但是辐射以后，番茄的绿色素就不会减少，红色素也不会增多了。消费者估不准究竟什么时候会熟，不敢购买。 3. Irradiation本身确实没有削减太多营养，但是在之后保存过程中，这种方法会使水果中的vitamin C 损失变快。放冰箱1周就会减少50%。而正常水果减少的就很少。

政府把基础设施卖给私企，并列举了以下好处：
1，能够获得充足的fund
2，由于政府的官员为了树立良好形象，而不愿意花钱来maintain，企业会帮助maintain。
3，企业会增加技术投资，提高技术含量
lecture
1，如果基础设施卖给企业，短期内获得资金，但是长期发展，政府的花费将更高
2，企业不会去maintain因为是短期利益，反而会将Infrastructure使用的更糟，professor距离说water system
3，由于政府将使用权转给企业，企业处在垄断地位，没有竞争力更不会投入资金提高技术含量
