We’ve been friends ever since we (meet) ______ at school.

Dear Sirs, First, we would like to recap our discussion with you regarding market position of “Peony“ brand toilet rolls in Pakistan. We explained to you in detail about the problems faced by dealers in marketing the above item. Your delegation also had the opportunity to personally listen to the comments of individual dealers. We now summarize the market position as follows. Toilet paper is not used by a majority of the population of our country. In fact, it is not customary to use toilet paper for domestic purposes. Consumption of this product is mostly limited to hotels, restaurants, some offices, and a very small fraction of private households. Having said that, there is a still bigger problem which has to be solved in order to maximize sales. Your corporation ships the goods from Qingdao mostly on transshipment vessels via Hong Kong and Singapore. Due to the limitations of this shipping method, the goods usually arrive here four or five months after shipment from Qingdao. A recent example is a lot of 285 cartons that was shipped to us on vessel “Yatlung“ from Qingdao on 19 November 1978. These goods actually reached us near the end of April 1979, over five months after the shipment was originally made. We have enclosed herewith copies of the shipping documents showing this fact. In view of this problem, we urge you to begin shipping your goods on direct vessels or with shipping companies that offer express service, so that dealers can repeat their orders after receipt of a consignment(交货), and we can sell more of your product in Pakistan. Meanwhile, thank you for your attention and we wish to assure you of our usual best attention and efforts in facilitating and encouraging sales of “Peony“ toiletpaper in Pakistan.What is the letter about? It’s about problems with sales of ______ in Pakistan.

What is unique about camels? The camel is an animal that can survive many days ______.How long could you live without food or water? One or two days maybe? The camel is an animal that can survive many days without food or drink. Camels would have great problems if they couldn’t do this, because most of them live in very dry parts of the world. A camel is a rather strange-looking animal. It has a hump on its back and big flat feet. Each part of its body helps keep the camel alive in a place where little else can live. A camel can store extra food or fat in its hump. This food can keep it alive for many days. The flat feet of a camel do not sink in soft sand. And its hard mouth can even chew up sharp desert plants! Long eyelashes keep sand out of the camel’s eyes. Camels do not really like people, but they are a big help to humans just the same. Desert peoples use camels the way that we use cars. They ride on camels and use them to carry things across the hot sand. Camels are sometimes called “ships of the desert“. Q11. What is unique about camels?

Increasingly over the past ten years, the general population(and especially young people) has become aware of the need to change its eating habits, because much of the food we cat, particularly processed foods, is not good for our health. Conversely, there has been a growing interest in natural foods: foods which do not contain chemical additives and which have not been grown using chemical fertilizers widely used in farming today. Natural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruits and grains which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matter. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This type of farming is a natural process compared to farming with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount—but not the quality—of goods grown in commercial farming areas. Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in a healthy environment. Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are mechanized farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins. There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar. This is actually a nonessential food! In large quantities, it can actually be harmful, and it does seem to be addictive: the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last two centuries. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals and no fiber. It is significant that nowadays fiber is considered to be an important part of a healthy diet. In white bread, the fiber has been removed. But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables. It is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet contains large quantities of unrefined flour and vegetables certain diseases are comparatively rare. Hence the emphasis has been placed on the eating of whole meal bread and more vegetables by modern experts on “healthy eating“.The main purpose of this article is to ______. show the difference between processed foods and natural ones explain how natural foods may be better for us compare the difference between processed foods and natural ones point out the problems with modern farming

Japanese “salary men’ tend to work under great stress, it is said. But a survey of 200 salary men aged 20 ～ 40 in Tokyo, conducted by the Marketing Bureau of Nippon Co. in August 1996, found that as much as 65 percent attach priority (优先考虑) to a relaxed life. For them, “mental health“ comes before “stressful work“. By contrast those who prefer to work hard even under stress accounted for only 35 percent. By age bracket (分类), there were remarkable differences. Half of the salary men in their forties declared they wouldn’t avoid stressful work, whereas a relaxed life was the choice of 76 percent of those in their twenties. How do they get rid of stress? “Drinking“ and “engaging in sports“ were mentioned by most in both the “relaxed“ and “stressful“ groups. A contrast between the “relaxed“ and “stressful“ groups: those who prefer to work under stress account for (46) . those who prefer to have a relaxed life account for (47) .
