单选题To: Technical Support Team From: Sanchez, Hanna Sent: Wednesday, July 10 Subject: Business Technologies Seminar This message is to finalize the organizational details for the technical support team for next Monday's Business Technologies Seminar. Attached you will find the schedule with the names of technical assigned to the various conference rooms. Each session runs for two hours and made up of four 30-minute presentations. Presenters have been asked to designate a timekeeper to ensure that they do not exceed their time limits. Note that there is a break between each session, which should allow you sufficient time to prepare for the next speaker. Your job is to set up microphones adjust lighting, and address any other needs of the speakers. Speakers will not be videotaped, but several have to be recorded, so please be sure the recording equipment is in place and functioning properly. Also, room 106 does not have a computer on-site, but the presentation in the third session will require one. Fortunately, this is not a big problem because neither of the laptop computers in rooms 104 and 108 will be in use at that time. The technician assigned to room 106 for that session must remember to bring the laptop from one of those other rooms to room 106 and set it up. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

单选题Interspeed Moves In Lofton City residents will soon have yet another option when it comes to Internet service. The Sacramento-based firm Interspeed is planning to extend its service area to include commercial and residential districts in Lofton City starting next month. Competition in the telecommunications industry is fierce, with two major national providers already established in Lofton City and surrounding areas. However, Interspeed is confident of success, according to Art Wang, a company spokesperson. "Interspeed is going to offer consumers in Lofton City something new: top-of-the-line Internet service at affordable prices," stated Wang. While he decided to quote specific rates, it is assumed that Interspeed's basic service plan will cost consumers $18.95 a month, the same as the company charges in its other service areas. This would undercut the price of the current cheapest plan available in Lofton City, offered by WireTech, and would be well below the $27.49 charged by Imex Systems, Inc., for its most popular plan. May 18 Editorial Department Lofton City Herald 1154 Burton Rd. Lofton City, CADear Sir or Madame, I am writing in response to your article of May 16 entitled "Interspeed Moves In". I was very disappointed to see incorrect information presented about my company. Imex Systems, Inc. In your analysis of interspeed, you compared the price of its cheapest and most basic service plan to that of our most popular plan. However, because our best-selling service happens to be a high-speed option, the comparison was flawed and gave the false impression that Imex is a much more expensive provider than interspeed. If you had researched our prices, you would have seen that our basic plan costs $19.99 a month, which is nearly the same as the Interspeed plan you cited. Needless to say, we here at Imex are concerned about the effects this misinformation could have on our business. We expect your paper to take responsibility for the error and print a correction and apology as soon as possible. I would ask that you please contact me at 1-511-555-8011, so I may provide you with accurate information about the pricing of our services. Thank you, Candice Rigalotta Public Relations Department Imex System, Inc.

单选题Summer Travel Sale Figures published yesterday in a report on the national housing market show that consumers purchased more new homes in September than in any month yet this year. The increase of 14.1% over last month directly contradicts the predictions of market analysts. "It was a real shock to most of us," admitted Lashawnda Cassano, chief economist with the firm Capital Resources, LLTG. "New-home sales were down so much in August and July that we simply expected the trend to continue. But this changes everything." The report states that 71,000 homes were sold in the month of September. That is well above the figure of 62,000 sold in August and July's one of 64,000. Previous months had seen the number holding steady at around 68,000. These new numbers are sure to encourage investors, who have been hesitant to put their trust in the country's economy since last spring's downturn. All three national stock markets jumped up at least ten points on the news. The report is also likely to boost construction of new homes, as builders interpret it as a rise in consumer demand. However, if they react too enthusiastically, they risk flooding the market with new houses. Which could have the effect of pushing down prices and cutting into the profits of the real estate industry.

单选题Rase Chemical Corporation is proud to submit its entry to the annual Chemistry Innovation in Motion contest to be held in the Royal Park Hotel, Vancouver, Canada, September 6~10. Our entry introduces what we believe is an extraordinary product. The product is a new type of insulation material providing benefits that traditional housing insulation products do not offer. Thanks to its unique microstructure, the new material can keep houses up to 50 percent warmer in the cold winter months. This means that using our insulation will result in substantial reductions in consumer heating hills. In addition, our new insulation material is made without the harmful chemicals often found in other insulating products, making it safer to use and easier to dispose of. Moreover, the insulation functions well in all types of climates. Consumers living in humid or dry areas will equally benefit from our new insulation. We invite all scientists and observers to visit our information booth at the Chemistry Innovation in Motion contest and to meet Bernard Cho, CEO of Rase Chemical Corporation, who will be giving a presentation on the product at 9:00 A.M. on September 9.
