Bangkok
Dear Ms. Veratanavanit,
I am writing to thank you for authorizing Mr. Shinawakra of your staff to arrange a very fruitful visit by fifteen graduate students and faculty from the Bangkok Business University to the Diwikar Oil and Gas Corporation. Mr. Shinawakra planned a very interesting round-table discussion in the morning with several of your senior executives responsible for strategy implementation, concentrating in particular upon consumer behavior, cost dynamics, and corporate social responsibility—some of my students' particular areas of interest.
After eating lunch with the group, Mr. Shinawakra presented a very professional summary of career opportunities in corporate Thailand, especially at Diwikar Corporation. As a former executive of Diwikar, I was pleased that he did such an excellent job representing the company. We were all extremely impressed by his professional demeanor and the attention he gave to many details of the visit.
Very truly yours,
Thaksin Panupong

To: Swichen King, General Manager
From: Samantha Louis, Office Manager
Date: November 28th, 2009
Subject: Purchase of a Microwave Oven
1. Introduction
At the monthly staff meeting on Wednesday, 26 November 2009, you requested information about the possible purchase of a microwave oven. I would now like to present these details.
2. Background
Since the move to the new office in Kowloon Bay, the staff has difficulty in finding a nearby place to buy lunch.
3. Advantages
Providing a microwave oven in the pantry would enable staff to bring in their own lunchboxes and reheat their food. Also, staff members are less likely to return to work late after lunch.
4. Staff Opinion
A survey found that staff would like to use the microwave oven.
5. Cost
Details of suitable models are given below: Brand Model Price
Philip M903 $136
Sharpe R-3R29 $108
Sony 6145 X $124
6. Request
If this meets with your approval, we would appreciate it if you could authorize up to $15 for the purchase of the microwave oven.

What is the original reason of buying a microwave oven for the staff？
A．The General Manager requested to do so at the monthly staff meeting on Wednesday.
B．It is difficult for the staff to buy lunch due to their moving to the new office.
C．The staff often bring in their own lunchboxes and intend to reheat their food.
D．Staff members are used to returning to work late after lunch.
They devised techniques to reduce the heavy bleeding during surgery, and they worked on better ways to prevent the recipient's immune system from rejecting the organ — an ever-present risk.
But the triumphs of the transplant surgeons have created yet another tragic problem: a severe shortage of donor organs. "As the results get better, more people go on the waiting lists and there's wider disparity between supply and need," says one doctor. The American Council on Transplantation estimated that on any given day 15 000 Americans are waiting for organs. There is no shortage of actual organs; each year about 5 000 healthy people die unexpectedly in the United States, usually in accidents. The problem is that fewer than 20 percent become donors.
This trend persists despite laws designed to encourage organ recycling. Under the federal Uniform. Anatomical Gift Act, a person can authorize the use of his organs after death by signing a statement. Legally, the next of kin can veto these posthumous gifts, but surveys indicate that 70 to 80 percent of the public would not interfere with a family member's decision. The biggest roadblock, according to some experts, is that physicians don't ask for donations, either because they fear offending grieving survivors or because they still regard some transplant procedures as experimental.
When there aren't enough organs to go around, distributing the available ones becomes a matter of deciding who will live and who will die. Once donors and potential recipients have been matched for body size and blood type, the sickest patients customarily go to the top of the local waiting list. Beyond the seriousness of the patients' condition, doctors base their choice on such criteria as the length of time the patient has been waiting, how long it will take to obtain an organ and whether the transplant team can gear up in time.
Which of the following is true according to the text？
A．All the patients whom Dr Starzl operated on died on the operating table.
B．To Dr Starzl it was very discouraging that his first liver transplant failed.
C．Many doctors had performed organ transplant before Dr Starzl.
D．Dr Starzl didn't give up even though he had failed in his attempts.

第二篇 Energy and Public Lands
The United States boasts substantial energy resources. Federal lands provide a good deal of US energy production, the US Department of the Interior manages federal energy leasing(租赁) both on land and on the offshore Outer Continental Shelf Production from these sources amounts to nearly 30 percent of total annual US energy production.
In 2000, 32 percent of US oil, 35 percent of natural gas, and 37 percent of coal were produced from federal lands, representing 20,000 producing oil and gas leases and 135 producing coal leases. Federal lands are also estimated to contain approximately 68 percent of all undiscovered US oil reserves and 74 percent of undiscovered natural gas.
Revenues from federal oil, gas, and coal leasing provide significant returns to US taxpayers as well as State Government. In 1999, for example, $553 million in oil and gas revenues were paid to the US Treasury, and non-India coal leases accounted for over $304 million in revenues, of which 50 percent were paid to State governments. Public lands also play a critical role in energy delivery. Each year, federal land managers authorize rights of way for transmission lines, rail systems, pipelines, and other facilities related to energy production and use.
Alternative energy production from federal lands falls behind conventional energy production, though the amount is still significant. For example, federal geothermal(地热) resources produce about 7.5 billion kilowatt-hours(千瓦时) of electricity per year, 47 percent of all electricity generated from US geothermal energy. There are 2,960 wind turbines on public lands in California alone, producing electricity for about 300,000 people. Federal hydropower facilities produce about 17 percent of all hydropower produced in the United States.
Because of the growing US thirst for energy and increasing public unease with influence on foreign off sources, pressure on public lands to meet US energy demand is becoming more intense. Public lands are available for energy development only after they have been evaluated through the land use planning process. If development of energy resources conflicts with management or use of other resources, development restrictions or impact moderation measures may be enforced, or mineral be banned altogether.
36 What is the main idea of this passage？
A Public lands play an important role in energy production.
B Public lands are one of the main sources of revenues.
C Public lands should be developed to ease energy shortage.
D Public lands store huge energy resources for further development.
