A vital skill for anyone running a business it is the ability to communicate effectively. This is particularly important in a meeting where complex arguments
34 need to be put forward and where it is too vital to get the best out of the situation
35 and those present in as little time as possible. Before calling a meeting, ask
36 yourself if you actually need one, since so many are unproductive results and do
37 not really need to take place. Sending an email or by using another means of
38 communication, such as a simple phone call, might achieve the desired results in
39 half the time. Having established the need for a meeting, so inform those you
40 wish to attend and ask people to be punctual. Concerning the key to a good
41 meeting is an agenda, which needs to be sent out in advance and should state the
42 date, time and location. It should also contain the names of those ones who will
43 be present and setthat out, starting with the most important, the points for
44 discussion. Ask in advance for suggestions for items to be discussed about but
45 set a deadline for submissions in order to reduce the amount of time that has to be spent under \\'Any Other Business\\'.
《Meetings that work》，起作用的会议。文章讲的是开好一个会议应该注意哪些问题。
34题，it is vital to do sth.，做什么事情是至关重要的。too…to结构表示太而不能。从上下文和词组的用法来看，too是多余的。
35题，正确的。
36题，since so many are unproductive，是说的很多会议都没有效果。主谓宾很齐全，unproductive做形容词就可以修饰前面的meeting，results是多余的。
37题，完整的句子应该是Sending an email or by using another means of communication might achieve the desired results in half the time。介词by是多余的。有by，不仅后面的主语不对，也没有与前面的sending保持一致。
38题，正确的。
39题，这个句子的前后没有因果关系，去掉so
40题，Concerning the key to a good meeting is an agenda,主谓宾是齐全的，the key to a meeting是主语，is是谓语，an agenda是宾语，意思就是日程表是会议的关键。Concerning是多余的。
41题，正确的。
42题，those who固定的搭配，指代哪些人，ones是多余的。
43题，去掉插入成分starting with the most important，完整的句子是set(that)out the points for discussion。set out是词组，在这里是陈述、阐明的意思：present information or ideas in a well-ordered way in writing or speech.。所以that多余。
44题，discuss是及物动词，做讨论时直接用discuss，而不是discuss about。事实上，在discuss后面接about时的about一般都是做“大约的”意思讲，而不是一个完整的词组。所以此处about多余。
45题，正确的。

Financial Planning: the factors involved in deciding on appropriate pricing strategies
Suggested answers: a．In any single market three basic factors determine the boundaries of the pricing decision. The price floor, or minimum price, is bounded by product cost. The price ceiling, or maximum price, is bounded by competitive prices for comparable products and ability of customers to pay. Between the floor and ceiling for every product there is an optimum price, which is a function of the demand for the product and the cost of supplying the product. The international executive must develop a pricing system and pricing policies that 'address these fundamental factors in each of the national markets in which his company operates. b．In addition to developing a pricing system, the system must also be consistent with a number of uniquely international constraints. In addition to the diversity of national markets in all three basic dimensions—cost, competition, and demand—the international executive is also confronted by conflicting governmental tax policies and claims as well as government controls such as dumping legislation, resale price maintenance legislation, price ceilings and general review of price levels. Other factors affecting the international pricing decisions are the often surprisingly high international transportation costs, middlemen in elongated international channels of distribution, and multinational accounts demanding equal price treatment regardless of location. c．Pricing decisions have a major impact on a number of societal groups: consumers, customers, employees, stockholders, the public interest, and, of course, the competition. These interest groups are affected by pricing decisions, which in turn constrain the international executive. A widespread effect of international business is to lower prices. Within the corporation there are many interest groups and frequently conflicting price objectives. The divisional vice-president is concerned about profitability at the divisional level. Regional executives are concerned about profitability at the country level. d．The direction of international marketing seeks competitive prices in world markets.. The controller and financial vice-president are concerned about profits. The manufacturing vice-president seeks long runs for maximum manufacturing efficiency. The tax manager is concerned about compliance with government transfer pricing legislation, and company counsel is concerned about the antitrust implications of international pricing practices. With such a large number of divergent and often conflicting interests combined with the limitations of our existing measures of demand, it is premature to expect that we should be able to determine“optimal”prices in international marketing. A more feasible objective for the international executive is to formulate international pricing strategy and policy that will contribute rather than detract from company sales and profit objectives worldwide. 解析：constrain强迫，强制，束缚。optimum price最适当价格。 dumping倾销。antitrust反托拉斯。divergent分歧的，分开的。detract from贬低，减损。premature早熟的，仓促的。

Dear Manager, We write to introduce ourselves as one of the leading travel agencies in France. We are going to print a brochure to introduce some tourist attractions and accommodation facilities in Europe for distribution at Hong Kong International Tourist Fair this year. Would you like to advertise your hotel in our brochure? The rate is 1,000 for 1/2 page. We are looking forward to your early reply. Yours faithfully,

—Look at the charts and table below, on which you have already made some handwritten notes.
—Then, using all your handwritten notes, write the report for your Managing Director
—Write 120-140 words.
To: Chris Sutcliffe, Managing Director From: Lynn Dent Subject: Performance in November This report covers November's results in branches A-D, compared with those in October MO NTH LY TURN OVER Only branch A saw an improvement in turnover, which was probably the result of an advertising campaign in the local media. Neither branch B nor branch D reported any change, while in branch C turnover fell considerably STAFF TURNOVER The only significant changes in staff turnover were in branches C and D. In C it rose sharply, from 2% to 8%, mainly because of dissatisfaction with the new manager on the other hand, there was an improvement in branch D's previous high level of 10%. SALES BY PRODUCTTYPE Women's clothes, which are already the best selling goods, increased from 60 to 65% of total sales, at the expense 'of men's clothing. Children's clothes were unchanged, at 20%.
Dear Sirs,
The order mentioned above was delivered to our warehouse 2 days after it arrived in Chicago 8th Jan. and we regret that we have to complain about the conditions in which we received it.
In our order we stipulated that we required four dozen of your men's suits pattern CS/7, and in your invoice, No. CP/78, you charged us for this quantity, but it is clear that you have packed only three dozen in Case 3, 【B1】______ . We would therefore appreciate an explanation and your prompt action to send us the missing dozen suits.
Very much more serious is the condition of the ladies' trousers suits that you packed in Case 2. Of the six dozen that this case contains, 【B2】______ . It is quite clear that this is solely due to the totally inadequate way in which they had been packed for you had not lined the case with any waterproof paper. 【B3】______
【B4】______ , whereas in our order we had stated that we required your pattern CS/9 which is stated in your catalogue as being made up from heavy-weight material. There is no market here for tropical suits, and so we must emphasize 【B5】______ .
We must stress that the mistakes that you have made in this first order we have placed with you have caused considerable problems for us. We had hoped to include your products in the Spring Sale that is due to open at the end of February, but as it is, it is now clear that we shall not be able to do so. We wish to stress, therefore, that unless you take immediate action to correct the mistakes that you have made, 【B6】______ .
We now expect your prompt reply.
Yours,
Faithfully
A. please correct all the mistakes as soon as possible
B. that we expect you to replace these suits that have been wrongly delivered with those we ordered without delay
C. we shall certainly not consider further orders with you and shall report your company to the American Trade Promotion Office in New York
D. and we think the price is a little bit too high
E. forty have become very sodden in transit and most of these show signs of rotting
F. we are also surprised that you appear to have sent us three dozen lightweight gentlemen's suits in Case 1
G. we therefore expect your prompt action to remedy this situation
H. and there is no sign of the missing dozen in either Case 1 or 2
【B1】______
H
