· Read the following passage below about a furniture retailer.· For each question (23-28), choose the correct answer.· Mark one letter (A, B or C) on your Answer sheet. {{B}}A BRIGHT FUTURE{{/B}} The furniture retailer, JRA. which has produced disappointing results recently, said that market conditions were at last improving. Sales rose by 7.3% in tile final quarter of 2006. after falling by 6.2% in the three months between July and September, and by 7.4% in the past quarter. Mike Turner, the managing director, said that. although the market remained competitive, orders had reached their highest level ever and with this promising news he thought that profit margins would reach 11% before the end of the next financial year. The company is also benefiting from the current low interest rates charged by the banks. Further savings were made when the company increased the proportion of furniture that it produced itself. This follows its takeover in May of tile Brimoon Furniture factory, which was suffering from serious financial problems. JRA will continue its expansion programme this year and expects to add four new stores to the existing fifty. These will all be in the south-west of UK. where it currently has only one store. The company aims eventually to have eighty large stores nationwide and then to concentrate on opening a number of smaller ones. This positive news was delivered together with the announcement of a 13% drop in profits to $30 million on sales of $386 million for the financial year. This fall was not as bad as forecasted—several analysts thought profits would be less than $12 million. Before becoming managing director of JRA. Turner had worked for Patton Points. Though Patton Points was once a leader in its field, it was in serious financial difficulties when Turner joined the company. Within three years, however, he had turned the company's annual losses into a $11 million profit. He is beginning to do the same at JRA.

THE NEW JUICE--JUJU Good news has finally arrived for all those people out there conscious of their health, and with a firm belief that their body is a temple. Scientific advancement in the field of juice makers has finally reached its height with the new Juice-Juju. The Juice-Juju is different from other orange juice makers as it uses every part of the orange itself. Yes, that's right -- even the peel, creating a delicious and healthy drink which can be enjoyed either as part of a physical exercise plan, or simply as an alternative to other less healthy drinks, such as coke and Lemonade. Old orange juice makers used to require four or even five oranges to make just a small glass of orange. The Juice-Juju solves that problem in an instant, and requires only half the amount of oranges to produce the same amount of juice as a normal orange juice maker. The Juice-Juju's special extra ingredients also ensure added vitamins and minerals are added to the drink, keeping the whole family healthy. The Juice-Juju will be available in the shops from next week at the low price of only $99. 99. Also available will be the Juice-Juju Deluxe at $299.99 which has been combined with a blender, providing the ultimate in food preparation and healthcare. Join the revolution! Buy a Juice-Juju!

· Read the passage below about Volkswagen.· For each question (23 -28),-choose the correct answer.· Mark one letter (A, B or C) on your Answer sheet. {{B}} The History of Volkswagen{{/B}} Ferdinand Porsche started work on the "people" car with money he received from the German government. In 1938 he returned to Germany, founded Volkswagen Gmbh and started production with his new American machinery in Wolfsburg, Lower Saxony. Commercial production stopped during the war and factory and its 9,000 workers fell into British hands in 1945. After the war the British helped the local economy by ordering 20,000 cars but decided not to take over the company as they did not think it had a future. Instead, Heinrich Nordhoff took over as Managing Director and the Volkswagen success story began. Within five years annual production went from 20, 000 to 230, 000 cars and the company founded its first South American subsidiary, Volkswagen do Brazil S. A. In 1949 the first exports to the USA arrived in New York, where they were described as 'beetle-like' and the VW Beetle legend was born. Thirty-two years later the 20 millionth Beetle rolled off a Volkswagen de Mexico production line. In 1960 Volkswagen became a public limited company valued at DM 600 m. The company continued its globalization by setting up its own production facilities in Australia (1957), Nigeria (1973) and Japan (1990) while expanding into the USA (1976) and Spain (1986) by buying car manufacturers. The company also Jet up a joint venture in China (1982). Political events at the end of 1989 gave VW the opportunity to move into central Europe, where it soon began production in the former East Germany and expanded into the Czech Republic. Today Volkswagen AG is Europe's largest car-maker with 242,770 employees and a turnover of $65 bn. With new versions of the world's two most successful cars, the Beetle and the Golf, the future for VW looks every bit as bright as its past.
