18、assume the rise from 70p to 90p is a rise of 25 percent.M: Oh yes, I see.

Section BPassage 19As the new sales director
22、for a national computer firm, Alex Gordon was looking forward to his first meeting with the companys district managers. Everyone arrived on time, and Alexs presentation went extremely well. He decided to end the meeting with the conversation about the importance of the district managers to the compa
23、nys plans. “I believe we are going to continue to increase our share of the market,” he began, “because of the quality of the people in this room. The district manager is the key to the success of the sales representatives in his district. He sets the term for everyone else. If he has ambitious goal
24、s and is willing to put in long hours, everyone in his unit will follow his example.” When Alex was finished, he received polite applauses, but hardly the warm response he had hoped for. Later he spoke with one of the senior managers. “Things were going so well until the end”, Alex said disappointed
25、ly. “Obviously, I said the wrong thing.” “Yes”, the district manager replied. “Half of our managers are women. Most have worked their way up from sales representatives, and they are very proud of the role they played in the companys growth. They dont care at all about political correctness. But they
26、 were definitely surprised and distressed to be referred to as he in your speech.”Q26 Who did Alex Gordon speak to at the first meeting?Q27 What did Alex want to emphasize at the end of his presentation?10Q28 What do we learn about the audience at the meeting?Q29 Why did Alex fail to receive the war
27、m response he had hoped for?Passage 2The way to complain is to act business-like and important. If your complaint is immediate, suppose you got the wrong order at a restaurant, make a polite but firm request to see the manager. When the manager comes, ask his or her name. And then state your problem
28、 and what you expect to have done about it. Be polite! Shouting or acting rude will get you nowhere. But also be firm in making your complaint. Besides, act important. This doesnt mean to put on airs and say “do you know who I am?” What it means is that people are often treated the way they expect t
29、o be treated. If you act like someone who expects a fair request to be granted, chances are it will be granted. The worst way to complain is over the telephone. You are speaking to a voice coming from someone you cannot see. So you cant tell how the person on the line is reacting. It is easy for tha
30、t person to give you the run-around. Complaining in person or by letter is generally more effective. If your complaint doesnt require an immediate response, it often helps to complain by letter. If you have an appliance that doesnt work, send a letter to the store that sold it. Be business-like and stick to the point. Dont spend a
