To discourage motorists from leaving their cars in the streets all day, parking meters are used. When you park at a meter, you will pay a coin. This pays for a certain amount of time. The meter re cords this and it shows when the time that you have paid for is finished. If the car is still there then, you have to pay a fine.
Traffic wardens look after the meters. They walk around the streets and check that every meter shows that money has been paid for the car parked there. If a meter registers" time expired", the motorist who has left his car there is fined. Of course, the traffic :warden cannot wait for the owner of car to return. He carries a block of printed forms, and on one of these he writes down all the details, such as the registration number of the car, where it is parked, how much the driver must pay and where he must send the money. He leaves this form. on the car where the driver will be able to see it easily; he usually pushes it under one of the windscreen wipers so that it will not blow away. And in case it rains before the motorist returns, the form. is put in a little plastic envelope to protect it. When the driver comes back, he gets an unpleasant surprise, but it is his own fault for leaving his car too long at a parking meter.

What Is An Limited Company
When a limited company has started for trading, you do not invest in shares by
giving more capital to the company. You buy for them from one of the shareholders.
34 If it is a public limited company, shares can be bought and sold freely, usually
35 at a Stock Exchange. If the company is doing well and paying high dividends,
36 then you might pay more than the face value of the shares. If what it is doing badly
37 you might pay less than the face value of the shares. The price you pay at the Stock
38 Exchange for your shares is their market value. If that the company fails, it will
39 stop trading and go into liquidation. This means that all the company's property and
40 equipment must be sold and the money from the sale will be used to pay for all
41 its debts. The shareholders may lose the money they paid for the shares. If the
42 company still does not have enough money to pay all its debts, the shareholders
43 do not have to pay any more money. In other words, the shareholders' liability for
44 debts is limited to the value of their shares. On the other hand, if when you are an
45 owner of a business, which is not limited, when business fails, you will go bankrupt

I did not get what I wanted when I did not ask for it. We had cubicle (小隔间) offices and window offices.I sat in the cubicles with several male colleagues. One by one they were moved into window offices, while I remained in the cubicles, several males who were hired after me also went to offices. One in particular told me he was next in line for an office and that it had been part of his negotiations for the job. I guess they thought me content to stay in the cubicles since I did not voice my opinion either way.
It would be nice if we all received automatic pay increases equal to our merit, but “nice” isn’t a quality attributed to most organizations. If you feel you deserve a significant raise in pay, you’ll probablyhave to ask for it.
Performance is your best bargaining chip (筹码) when you are seeking a raise. You must be able to demonstrate that you deserve a raise. Timing is also a good bargaining chip. If you can give your boss something he or she needs (a new client or a sizable contract, for example) just before merit pay decisions are beingmade, you are more likely to get the raise you want.
Use information as a bargaining chip too. Find out what you are worth on the open market. What will someone else pay for your services?
Go into the negotiations prepared to place your chips on the table at the appropriate time and prepared touse communication style. to guide the direction of the interaction.

听力原文: Most reliable companies pay close attention to customers' mails, particularly from dissatisfied customers. But writing letters to a company is one thing; getting the company to do what you want is another. And it requires a certain amount of know-how to persuade a manufacturer to repair your broken toaster or to make an adjustment on your mishandled airplane reservation.
First, you must observe certain principles. The most important is that you must deal with a reliable company. If you buy something from a fly-by-night retailer, you have to accept the fact that you have thrown away your money.
Second, if the product carries a warranty, be sure that you understand its terms. The warranty is an insurance policy, and the customer pays for that insurance when he pays for the product. If a product becomes defective a few weeks after the warranty has run out, some companies may make the adjustment, only for the sake of good will.
Third, let the company know in no uncertain terms that you are disgusted with its product or service, more often than not, customers who write in anger sometimes forget to include important information that the company needs in order to correct the situation. If that information is lacking, all the anger in the letter will get you nowhere. On the other hand, a simple, calm, factual and reasoned letter can usually help you to achieve the desired end.

B.Make sure that the product carries a warranty.
C.Deal with a reliable company.

听力原文:M: There's a letter here for you, Mum.
W: Thanks, John. Oh, no, not another telephone bill. I hope it is not as much as last time.
M: How much is it?
W: $130.94 for three months. How can it be so much? Tour father and I hardly make any calls. You must have been using the phone all the time.
M: Only to speak to my friends.
W: John, I don't think you realize just how much it costs when you telephone your school friends, and you speak to them for so long, especially during the day. Why can't you call them after 6 pm when it is cheaper. Your father is going to be upset when he finds out.
M: I'm sorry.
W: Well, being sorry just isn't good enough. I've told you often enough not to use the telephone so much. If you had to pay the hill, you wouldn't be so irresponsible with the telephone. You see your friends every day. Why do you need to phone them up as well?
M: But I do have something important to phone them sometimes.
W: OK, if you still take so long speaking to them, you'll have to pay half of this bill out of your wages from your Saturday job.
M: But Mum, that's not fair.
W: Then, I may have to get one of those phone locks and I'll keep the key, then you won't be able to make any calls.

M: When do the fees have to be paid?

M: If I haven't received the financial aid I am expecting, is it possible for me to register anyway?

听力原文: There are several different kinds of insurance and many people purchase insurance for various purposes. Insurance provides protection against risks. But not all people know a lot about insurance. So I'll introduce four most common insurance today. They are: automobile insurance, homeowner's insurance, health insurance, and life insurance.
Automobile insurance: drivers must be financially responsible for any damage done by their vehicles. This means that if you are involved in an accident in which someone is injured or there is significant property damage, you must be able to pay for the damages. You can buy different types of automobile insurance including liability insurance and collision insurance. Because this can be very costly, drivers purchase automobile insurance.
Homeowner's insurance: because most homeowners could not afford to replace their home if it were destroyed, they carry insurance to cover. the value of the home and its contents. A homeowner's policy may include protection against any or all of the following: fire, lighting, windstorms, explosions, theft, and flood. Health insurance: health insurance will pay for medical bills in the event of an accident causing injury. There are three basic categories of health-care coverage. Major medical-expense coverage is designed to protect against large unpredictable medical expenses. Disability income insurance provides cash benefits to the policyholder for living expenses if the policyholder is unable to work.
Life insurance: life insurance is purchased to protect dependents of the policyholder in the event of his or her death. There are four basic types of life insurance. Term insurance insures the lite of the policyholder for a specific period of time, usually one to five years. Whole life insurance builds up a cash value over the years. Endowment life insurance provides both protection and savings, with most of the emphasis on savings. The primary purpose of this type is to build up savings for some future purpose such as supplementary income during retirement.
