单选题Pakistan Society Daffy Thursday, November 1 After several months of public discussion, the Lahore City Council has approved the construction of the Crescent Cloud Office Complex in the central downtown area. The Council was persuaded by the architectural designs presented by Southwest Asia One Development Corporation. The corporation's CEO, Rasoul Qureshi, showed how the construction of the 49-floor Crescent Cloud would draw over $7oo million in investment, as it would convince more international corporations to establish their regional headquarters in the building. The tall office complex would also be a way to raise the global profile of both Lahore and Pakistan. Not everyone agreed with the plan, however. The Beautiful Lahore environmental group had campaigned intensively against the Crescent Cloud, proposing a new park in the downtown area instead. In an interview with the Pakistan Today TV program, Beautiful Lahore director Madran Khaur said, "I understand that the new complex is good for the nation's economy. Like all Pakistanis, I want to see a rise in our GDP. However, citizens also need places to relax and enjoy themselves in peaceful settings. The proposed city park would have provided that. I and the other members of our organization will continue to pressure the Council to give us the sort of urban greenery that we need." Ground will be broken at the construction site on January 3 and the complex is expected to take 18 months to complete.

单选题NOTICE: New regulations regarding abuse of printing Last year, the management set up new rules to encourage employees to cut down on unnecessary printing fees. However, there has been a rash of abuses of the printing policy. Therefore, in order to control the cost, management has decided to enforce more stringent regulations that are required to be adhered to by everyone, including the management. Starting today, the management staff will meet to discuss and begin drafting up the new policy. We will post new rules outlining the new printing policy as soon as it becomes available. Once it is complete, please read it carefully. Anyone in violation of the new rules will be considered behaving in a disorderly manner and will be penalized accordingly. Your cooperation and self-discipline is highly requested. Thank you. The Management Team 2010.08.14 NEW PRINTING POLICY Effective as of 08/18/2010 Due to the fact that our overhead costs have far exceeded our budget, we had to get to the root of the problem. Shockingly, most of our costs came from printing. A further, detailed look made us realize that too many of our 1,000 employees were wasting paper by making unnecessary copies. This, of course, has increased our paper usage, but it has also resulted in our using more of the very expensive ink cartridges as well as the repair work that has followed. Over the past month, this has occurred at a rate that is not acceptable. Therefore, the following rules will go into effect immediately starting tomorrow for everyone in all departments. This problem is serious, so anyone caught in violation of the rules below will be reprimanded, suspended, or even dismissed. Your full cooperation is requested. 1) All departments will be assigned an access card. It will record the date and time to keep track of the number of copies your department staff makes. Managers in each department are responsible for keeping track of who uses the card by keeping a record book. 2) For bulk copies over 100, you must get advance approval from your department head. 3) Any department believed to be making unnecessary copies will be approached. Upon investigation, a warning may result to the person being accused. 4) A second warning may result in suspension without pay or, in this worst case, being dismissed from your position.* 5) Each department may pick up an access card from the reception desk after filling out a form. * With second warning, your manager and the general manager will meet to discuss the proper handling of the situation.
