News (page 82)

Questions 1 through 3 refer to the following news report. The desperate situation in East Africa continues, as the United Nations appealed for an additional twenty million dollars. The money will be used to buy more trucks and spare parts to speed up distribution of supplies to the victims of East Africas famine. The food and medicines donated by concerned governments are piling up at the local ports. There are plenty of supplies for the time being, but because of a lack of transportation, it is difficult to move the supplies out to the areas where they are most needed. UN spokespeople say that if the food cannot be moved to the approximately 10.8 million famine victims, distribution of grain will be cut in half within three months. Questions 4 through 6 refer to the following news report. Japans high savings rate is a drag on the Japanese economy and on the rest of the world as well. For decades this high savings pattern provided inexpensive investment funds to businesses, which helped spur Japans high economic growth. But there is a downside to a high savings pattern because it results in the scarcity of consumer loans. Further, a high savings rate reduces the value of the yen on the international market. This expands Japans trade surplus, which in turn causes protectionist pressures in other countries, making it difficult for Japan to sell its products abroad. So, while the high savings rate may have been seen as a good thing for the Japanese economy at one point, in the long run it has been proven to have numerous negative effects. Questions 7 through 9 refer to the following news report. The Kenyan Minister of Trade paid an unannounced visit to Uganda last weekend for talks with that countrys president. The two officials discussed the improvement in

trade relations between the two countries over the last six months. Commercial affairs have dominated the attention of the respective embassies here since the first trade pact was signed last January. A new pact is expected to be signed before the end of the year, opening up further trade opportunities between the two countries. It is believed that the Kenyan minister and the Ugandan president discussed the terms of the new pact, although the exact details of their talks have not been officially released.

Weather (page 84)

Questions 1 through 3 refer to the following weather report. The pollen count hit a record high today. The last time it was this high was ten years ago. The lack of precipitation this spring has caused the pollen to remain in the air longer than usual. As several species of flowering trees are blooming this month, this is the worst time of year for tree pollen. This means that millions of area residents will have difficulty breathing and will experience symptoms similar to a cold or bronchitis, including nasal congestion, coughing and sneezing, and red, irritated eyes. Unfortunately for allergy sufferers, no new rain is expected for the next two weeks. Those affected by these conditions are advised to stay indoors in an air-conditioned environment. If it is necessary to spend time outdoors, a protective mask should be worn. Tomorrow the count will be even higher. Questions 4 through 6 refer to the following weather report. Cyclone-strength winds have been battering the islands today. This condition, unexpected at this season, will prevail for the next 36 hours. The strong winds have impeded communications between the islands. Telephone lines are down throughout the region, and all boat travel has been suspended. Emergency regulations are in effect. All island residents are advised to remain in their homes and to avoid any unnecessary travel. People in need of emergency assistance are advised to contact their local police station. Emergency staff will be available around the clock. The National

There were scattered showers and thunderstorms throughout the Pacific Northwest region today while the central and southern Pacific coast continued to enjoy dry weather and fair skies. Pleasant as the sunshine is, the southern region could use some of the weather its northern neighbor has been experiencing. The region has gone over three months without any precipitation, and there is none forecast for the near future. Local farmers have expressed concern about the effect these conditions will have on this seasons crops. If these conditions continue much longer, there will be serious consequences for the agricultural sector.

beautiful shores of Lake George. Spring is our busiest season, so make your reservations now. Questions 25 through 27 refer to the following news report. Mayor Albert Spark called a special press conference at 7:00 last night to announce an increase in the city sales tax. The sales tax will be increased to 8 percent starting on the 15th of this month. The extra revenue generated by the tax increase will be used to build a new soccer stadium, the mayor said. Several groups were present at the conference to voice their concerns about the mayors plans. Members of the Downtown Business Association believe the money would be better spent on repairing downtown streets and improving the parking situation. We desperately need a new city parking garage, said Cecil Miller, president of the association. The School Parents League expressed concern about overcrowded city schools and would like to see money spent on new school construction. The City Consumers Union is not in favor of any tax increase at all. This new tax represents a real hardship to the needier members of our community. It will make it more difficult for many families to buy even basic necessities, explained Agnes Overall, director of the organization.

And not only that, its closer to the train station and easy to get downtown from here. If we can advertise great access to public transportation, more people will attend. Well, we still have six months to plan, so hopefully it hasnt been booked yet. Six months isnt that much time considering everything we have to do.

Part-time employees get two and a half days off. They also get a day of sick leave each year. Thats not very much. Most people need more than that. That means theyll likely end up having to take some unpaid leave. Well, Im afraid that parttimers never get the same benefits as full-timers.

Questions 71 through 73 refer to the following weather report. This will be a good weekend to stay home and repair any cracks in your walls or windows before winter. The sunny weather weve been enjoying all week will end tomorrow. In the north were expecting heavy rains beginning on Friday, with a possibility of flooding by evening. Rain will continue throughout Saturday and Sunday, with winds picking up on Saturday afternoon. This is bad news for the annual fall parade, which is scheduled for 2:00 on Saturday. If youre planning on bringing your children out to enjoy the parade, make sure everyone dresses in warm clothes. Bring umbrellas and perhaps even an extra blanket to cover up with. Fortunately, its not cold enough yet to snow, so you shouldnt need your hats and mittens. As is typical for this time of year, hurricane activity off the coast is the cause of the bad weather. Fortunately, the hurricane is expected to veer west and will not directly hit our northern region. Use this weekend to read a good book or do jigsaw puzzles, not to go hiking or camping.

Questions 41 through 43 refer to the following conversation. Woman I need to hire a temporary secretary. My regular secretary has a vacation coming up. And Rick is out sick. Hes been in the hospital for five days now. Oh, no. Will he be there much longer? I know youre coming up to your busy season. The nurse said he could go home tomorrow. But hes still quite weak and will be out of work for a while longer. Thats too bad. Man

Thats great. Did it take him long to install the machine? I spent about two days trying to figure ours out before I hired some help. It didnt take him too long. Only about four or five hours Id say. And I used to spend at least an hour a day washing dishes. I bet your kids are more willing to help out with the loading and emptying.

Questions 50 through 52 refer to the following conversation. Man They took a survey last month to see how many people watched the Olympics on TV. The results were published this week. Did you see them? No, I havent read the paper all week. We watched a bit of the Olympics this year, but only the events we were interested in. According to the survey, only 33 percent of the population watched the Olympics at any given time. Ill bet that number changed when it was an important hockey game. Even I watched the hockey games, and I dont know much about the sport.

Questions 56 through 58 refer to the following conversation. Man 1 Are you looking for your newspaper, Mr. Chen? It was delivered before 8:00 this morning, but the office manager borrowed it. Great. Im almost ready to take my coffee break, and Id like to have something to read. Ill get it for you now. Thanks. Tell him I dont mind if he keeps the soccer scores.

Questions 65 through 67 refer to the following conversation. Man You may not believe this, but postal rates have gone up again. Again? Thats the second time this year. Well, theyre threatening to raise them once again in another six months. Soon itll cost over a dollar just to mail a postcard. Well, not for a while yet. Stamps for postcards will still be under 50 cents even with the price hike. Its the packages that will end up costing so much.

Questions 59 through 61 refer to the following conversation. Woman As usual, well close the shop for two days after the holidays. We always take inventory during the shutdown. We have to take a look at what we have in stock before the nice weather kicks in. It must take a lot of work to go through all of those office supplies. We do the same thing every year, so its a pretty standard procedure. The hardest part is finding places to put things when they arrive. That does sound difficult!

Questions 68 through 70 refer to the following conversation. Woman My new employee started a week ago, and hes very friendly and gets along with everyone. Hes just not very good with debits and credits. Perhaps you should send him to school for a few months training. I think the local community college offers that kind of course. Theres not enough time. The office is understaffed already. It will be better in the long run if your staff is properly trained. Studies show that 50 percent of employees quit within three months if they dont receive proper training.

Well, I guess you just didnt make smart investments. I have a financial planner who I trust. I never make any decisions without first consulting him.

Questions 71 through 73 refer to the following weather report. This is Terrance Stevens with your Kingston weather report. We have been experiencing unseasonable weather throughout the month of April with very little rainfall and minimal cloud cover. The blue skies and warm temperatures have had us questioning whether summer was going to arrive before spring this year. This is the mildest and driest April on record for over 15 years. However, for the

upcoming week, we advise you to carry an umbrella every morning. The rainy season will begin today. Afternoons will be dry and sunny, but if you take a walk, be home early; rains will begin again in the evening and continue through the night and morning. While the rain is good news for farmers and gardeners, some local citizens were hoping it might hold off a little longer. The annual bike-for-charity event is scheduled to start at 8:00 A.M. tomorrow morning, rain or shine. Though bikers will probably get off to a wet start, the roads should dry just in time for them to start coming through the finish line. The first few bikes generally roll in sometime around 1:00 P.M. Questions 74 through 76 refer to the following report. Something strange has happened at least once every year at about this same time, and this year is no exception. Two reports of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) were registered with police last week by two local residents. The man and woman, both of Harris Drive in Sydney, claim to have seen three spaceships land on their farm and then take off again a few minutes later. They described the spaceships as white and box shaped. After an initial survey of the land, no physical damage was reported. Police are investigating. Last year, Allan and Sue Reins, also of Harris Drive, went public with their UFO sighting. The couple was widely criticized by local citizens. Questions 77 through 79 refer to the following announcement. Power company reserves are extremely low at present due to the prolonged heat wave this area has been experiencing. The city has hit record temperatures four days in a row with the thermometer reaching 40 degrees Celsius. In addition, the citys air pollution alert is higher than it has ever been before. To combat the heat, people are running their fans and air conditioners night and day. However, if we dont all work to conserve energy, local utility workers say all power reserves will be used up by the end of the month. This has never happened before in our city, and we all need to work together to prevent a power crisis. City officials are therefore requesting that businesses only use their cooling systems in

the afternoon and that private homes use theirs in the evening and early morning hours. Retirement homes, hospitals, and schools are exempt from this request and should continue to use cooling systems during operating hours. Your full cooperation will be appreciated. Questions 80 through 82 refer to the following report. In a strange twist of events yesterday, a man actually bit a dog. According to observers, a black stray dog was lying in the sun near a bus stop when a city bus stopped to let passengers off. A dentist dressed in a red raincoat got off the bus and accidentally stepped on the dogs tail. The dog immediately proceeded to wrap his teeth around the mans leg in anger. By all accounts, only by biting the dog on the head could the victim get him to release his hold. Both dentist and dog are reported to be doing fine after short visits to their respective doctors. The dog has been placed in a New Jersey shelter, but it is unknown whether or not it will be adopted. Questions 83 through 85 refer to the following weather report. The meteorologists report that came to our radio announcers desk this morning reads: Inclement weather ahead. Precipitation imminent. Our translation: Another storm coming. Rain likely to happen without delay. This disappointing report comes as a surprise considering yesterdays blue skies and balmy weather. Our photographers caught people all over town yesterday leaving the office a few hours early to enjoy the beautiful afternoon weather. Before yesterday wed experienced 14 consecutive days of rain and only a few hours of sun. Though the rain has been great for the flowers and trees, we have had little opportunity to enjoy the blooming gardens in the past few weeks. Fortunately, next week theyre calling for record highs and sunshine. With a summer that seems like it might never arrive, thats something everyone has been waiting to hear. So it looks like you may need to get your umbrellas out one more time, but despite the precipitation records we have set this spring, theres hope that this rain wont

As your mayor, I am pleased to announce a free concert at City Hall next Friday at 8 P.M. The musicians are all local teenagers whove worked hard before and after school throughout the year to create a performance thats sure to be both a celebration and a success.

There are only 500 seats in the auditorium, so be sure to get your tickets earlyRoom 405, City Hall, or Room 400 at Morton Heights High School.

Ive been looking forward to your feedback. I worked really hard on it. Well, frankly that surprises me. Its a bit weak compared to what you normally are capable of. Theres not much new information in it, and its a little disorganized. Really? I know the organization could be better, but I thought the details were useful.

Questions 71 through 73 refer to the following advertisement. Its time for the annual clearance sale at Maurys! This is the sale that youve waited for all year. This week only, enjoy special prices on all shoes and clothing in the store. We have a special reduction on womens coats. Take one home today for just $250. Pay just $25 down and make no more payments for a year. Thats right, no payments for one whole year. This offer is only for customers who have a Maurys credit card. That could be you. If you dont already have a Maurys credit card, sign up when you visit the store and take your new coat home with you the same day. Visit us today. Maurys is the best department store in town! Questions 74 through 76 refer to the following announcement. I just want to add that Im glad everyone came to todays luncheon, and I hope you all enjoyed yourselves. I also want to send out my sincere thanks to our hosts, the consul general and Mrs. Singh, for their gracious hospitality in providing the catering and offering their home for todays event. Have you ever seen such a well-kept property? We are also thankful that unlike last year, the weather has cooperated today. Im sure you are all glad that we decided to take the chance and have lunch outdoors on such a fine day. Mrs. Singhs gardens are famous for having the first spring bulbs at least a week before any other garden in town. With this hospitality, it will be hard for any of us to leave today. Of course, I hope you can all join us in three weeks for our Spring Gala at the Forest Hills Resort. With Mr. and Mrs. Tallon hosting the event, the day promises to be a real adventure. If the Spring Gala is going to be anything like last year, I advise that you bring your walking shoes and dress appropriately for a day of activity. Questions 77 through 79 refer to the following recording. Attention all movie lovers. Cineplex Sunset is now showing a double feature of Moonlight over Lisbon and Speeding Faster. Moonlight over Lisbon is the story of a classical guitarist and

his rise to fame. This film features awardwinning actor Bernardo Alves, who plays all of his own music. Speeding Faster, starring Elina Sarrafian and Umit Kaukonen, details the lives of two female race car drivers and the turns their careers take. Speeding Faster is a remake of the 1982 hit film Women and Wheels, based on the novel of the same name. Critics are saying that Sarrafian plays the role of Charlie even better than the original. Show times are at 6:00, 8:00, and 10:30 P.M. with matinees at 2:30 P.M. on Saturdays and Sundays. Questions 80 through 82 refer to the following announcement. The Thunder Bay Professional Firefighters Association will be holding their third annual art auction on Saturday, September 27, at 6:00 P.M. at the Labor Hall of Ontario. Two original oils by Buchtmann and Van der Marits will be up for bidding. There will be collectible sports cards, animation gels, and many prints by a wide range of contemporary artists. Some of the artists will be attending the event itself, including local watercolor artist Tanner Styles. Styles will be promoting his watercolor class, which is available for beginner and novice painters at the Thunder Bay Community Center. Also available are three sculptures by Ontario native White Cloud Lafayette, depicting life in the early part of the last century. Proceeds from the auction go to benefit fire safety awareness in Ontario. Unlike previous years, we will not be holding the additional silent auction for amateur art. There will, however, be amateur art on display in the lobby that will be available for purchase by donation. Tickets are $30 per person at the door of the Labor Hall. Dinner will be served. Questions 83 through 85 refer to the following weather report. Despite yesterdays forecast for warmer temperatures, it is going to be cold and dreary today with a high of 34 degrees Fahrenheit. A cold front has come in from the east and brought with it plenty of freezing rain and sleet. A call just came in saying that Highways 3 and 6, the two main arteries into the city core, are temporarily closed. A multi-vehicle accident in the westbound lane of Highway 3

is partially to blame for the closure, though it is unknown at this time whether the accident was weather-related. Alternate routes into downtown, including Main Avenue Bridge, are slow due to icy conditions and stalled vehicles. So if you plan on going out, you may want to leave your car at home today. Remember to dress warmly and take an umbrella. Questions 86 through 88 refer to the following announcement. During 1994, civil war destroyed much of Colberias economy, especially the infrastructure of the capital, Soloniki. Businesspeople fled the country, taking money and expertise with them. Most of them will not return. Colberia is richly endowed with fresh water, rain forests, and petroleum resources and had been a producer and exporter of timber, oil, and agricultural products. War, however, has greatly destroyed the economic good times that Colberia once enjoyed. Political instability now threatens its prospects for economic reconstruction and for the return of the two million refugees who fled to neighboring countries. In order to attract refugees back to the area, the government would have to first be able to guarantee that jobs, food, and safety would be a priority. However, many refugees have claimed that they will not return to their homeland no matter what incentives are offered. Questions 89 through 91 refer to the following message. You have reached Mainframe International, a global leader in propane technology. None of our workers are currently available to take your call. Our office hours are from 9 until 6 Monday through Friday and 9 to 12 on Saturday. The office also closes on statutory holidays. Please leave a message and your call will be returned on the next working day. Leave your full name, telephone number, and the purpose of your call. If you know the extension of the person you are calling and you want to leave a personal voice message, enter the three-digit code now. To access our product menu, where you can learn about Mainframe Internationals products and services, press the star key now. Here you will

also learn about any special offers and promotions. If this is an emergency and you need to speak to someone immediately regarding a propane leak or gas fitting, call your local law enforcement number, or dial 911. Do not wait until our next working day to report toxic fumes. One of our on-call service personnel can be made available to you 24 hours a day through the police. Thank you for calling Mainframe. Questions 92 through 94 refer to the following talk. Thank you for attending this evenings talk. Were all concerned about a serious problem in our community, and Id like to share some solutions with you this evening. As youre all aware, the beauty of our coastal location brings a lot of tourist dollars into our area. Tourists enjoy seeing the wildlife, visiting the marina, and looking at our boats. However, in the past few months, the number of seals living in our harbor has drastically increased. This tremendous increase in the seal population is causing problems. Theyre loud and they like to climb onto our boats. In fact, last week one boat took on water and sank because so many seals were on it! Since there are laws against killing or harming seals, we need to take a creative approach to this problem. Here are some solutions that worked in another town. Questions 95 through 97 refer to the following news report. Today the Family Foundation announced its findings from a two-year study. The foundation studied schoolchildren in the United States, ages 6 to 18, and their use of computers. They learned that 98 percent of the children in the study have used a computer at least one time. Some of these children have computers at home, and some do not. More children from wealthier families, about 85 percent, have computers at home and frequently use them. The study also showed that by 12 years of age these children had more advanced computer skills than their parents. However, only 40 percent of children from low-income families have computers, and they dont use their computers as often. There are several possible reasons for this. One may be that these children have older

computers that need repairs, and another may be that they tend to have slower Internet connections, or none at all. There could also be a lack of family or school support. Parents of these children also tend to have little or no computer skills. The foundation plans to look into these reasons in the next study. Questions 98 through 100 refer to the following talk. Remember that your research paper is due on Wednesday. Today is Monday, so thats just two days away. Most of you have received a large amount of feedback on your work, both from your classmates and from me, and youve had the opportunity to take advantage of the excellent resources in our library.

However, if for any reason you have any additional questions, you can reach me over the phone or by e-mail. Of course, the easiest way to reach me is to talk to me after class. Im always here for at least 45 minutes after class, yet on most days I dont even have one student in to see me. I should note that, in general, students who discuss their papers with a professor during the final draft stage score higher than those who do not. Remember that your papers due at the beginning of the next class. That does not mean that you can sort your pages and check for spelling mistakes throughout Wednesdays class. Any paper handed in after I take attendance will be marked late. See you then!

expected to be granted as soon as next week as most city officials have expressed a favorable attitude towards the new factory because of the estimated 250 new jobs it will bring to the city. Acme hopes to begin construction of the new facility early next year. In anticipation of the announcement, residents of the area close to the planned factory site have been organizing for the past few weeks to oppose the plans, saying that it will make their neighborhood an unattractive place to live and negatively affect property prices. Questions 89 through 91 refer to the following announcement. May I have your attention please? We apologize that the subways are running behind schedule today due to the inclement weather. Subway number 7 will be arriving in the station in two minutes. This is an express train, making no stops between here and the downtown station. Please stand back from the edge of the platform to allow arriving passengers to exit the train before you attempt to board. Again, we apologize for the late trains. Questions 92 through 94 refer to the following announcement. The National Symphony Orchestra will be performing in our city next Sunday as part of the Summer Outdoor Entertainment series being held at City Park. As part of this event, students from the local music school will play along with the regular orchestra members. The performances will take place in the area behind the soccer fields. There will be two performances only. Tickets go on sale Wednesday at the City Theater box office. Tickets for the evening performance will be sold at the usual full price of $30 and will be half price for the special afternoon performance.

Questions 95 through 97 refer to the following weather report. Here is your weather report for Monday, May 8. Cloudy skies this morning will give way to rain showers by early afternoon. Rain will continue throughout the rest of the day and most of the night. Rain may be heavy at times and flooding in low areas is a possibility. Expect clearing by early morning. Tomorrow will be warm and sunny all day, which is good news for our citys school children, who will be enjoying their first day of summer vacation, and for commuters, who can expect an easy ride in to work with no delays caused by weather. High temperatures today will only reach about 70 degrees, with overnight lows in the 50s. Questions 98 through 100 refer to the following announcement. Thank you for coming to tonights event. I enjoyed chatting with many of you during the coffee hour. Now, Id like to introduce tonights speaker: Ethel McCoy, the nationally-known financial writer. She is the author of seven books and a columnist for the Daily Times newspaper. She will speak to us tonight on the topic of her most recent book, How to Start a Small Business Without Financial Ruin. Following her talk, Ms. McCoy will be available to sign books, which are for sale at the back of the room. Dont forget, at our next weeks meeting there will be no lecture. Instead, we will be showing the film Climb to the Top. In two weeks, we resume our regular lecture schedule. Also, there is nothing on the schedule for next months meetings, so please see me if you have any ideas.
