Make a non-firm offer after reading the following given letter of initial inquiry． Dear Sirs,

We have learned from Smith and company of Birmingham that you manufacture a range of high-fashion handbags in a variety of leathers.

We operate a quality retail business and although our sales volume is not large, we obtain high prices for our goods.

Would you please send me a copy of your handbag catalogue with details of your prices and payment terms？

We would find it most helpful if you could also supply samples of the various skins from which the handbags are made.

Yours faithfully,

A．They understood that many things in the world are "fixed," but in art, we can make things alive by giving them some movement, by providing several perspectives．

B．Traditionally in China everyone is against monotony and routine,in art, one expresses this rebellious attitude towards monotony and routine by having more than one perspectiv

E．

C．They believed that Dao gave life to ten thousand things, so to understand Dao we need to analyze those many things and in art, we can do that by having several perspectives．

D．Chinese seek to find dynamic Dao in the movements． Thus an artist tries to express Dao dynamics by constantly changing that point of perspective in the painting

but they just pass their exams, while some others may spend much less time on their books but do much better in exams. How could this happen？ People used to think that hard work is the only way to success. But now they have understood that smart work can make them succeed too. Hard workers don’t mind working for long hours, while smart workers always think of several different answers to these questions, such as “Why should I suffer this？ ” or “Isn’t there a way to do this？ ” Thanks to these people, we can use computers instead of the abacus now. progress in every field is the direct result of “trying to find a better way ” by smart workers. There was a large soap factory in Japan. Once it received an unusual letter from someone who complained that there was no soap in the soap in the soapbox he bought.How could empty soapboxes go out of the factory？ The engineers checked the producing and packing. The producing was fine, but in about ten thousand soapboxes, the packing machine let an empty soapbox go. There was no need to spend a lot of money repairing the machine for such a small problem. The engineer soon worked out a solution. He put a huge X-ray machine and two large computers to find out the empty soapboxes. After teaching the workers how to use it, he sat down in his seat, exhausted.

“Sir, we could have solved the problem in a much simpler and cheaper way, ” a worker sa id.

“Really？ How？”

“We can put a huge fan near the packing machine. The wind coming from the fan will blow away the empty boxes, leaving the other boxes with soap. ”

See, this is smart work. In order to succeed, we should not only work hard like the engineer, but also think smart like this worker.

vy suitcase. They could not find a porter, but a young man offered to help them with the case.

"Where are you going？" he asked.

"To London," they told him. "Our daughter is getting married and we have a lot of presents. That's why our case is so heavy."

The young man suggested that they have a cup of coffee before the train left, and he would meet them at the platform. They agreed. And five minutes before the train left they went to the platform. The man wasn't on the train, either. The train left.

A 16-year-old South Dakota boy who became lost while hunting and spent 16 hours alone in the Black Hills National Forest says he was scared but still managed to make a survival plan. Austin DuVall, of Rapid City, became lost on Nov.3 while hunting with his father. He ran after a deer, and soon found himself alone. “I ran after a deer, but I didn’t get it,” he said. “Then I was really lost.” He had only his hunting rifle(步枪) and the clothes he was wearing. He had no food or water and had nothing that could help him find his way to safety. “I knew that no one could hear me. I decided to just sleep and get up in the morning and find safety,” he said. Austin climbed up on a rock and slept through the night. Then he awoke and relied on skills he learned in a hunter safety course. He followed a stream to an occupied cabin. The couple there called his parents and cooked him a breakfast. “ It’s probably one meal I’ll never forget for the rest of my life,” he said. After DuVall’s disappearance, a lot of emergency officials and more than 100 volunteers went searching for him. “He wasn’t sitting there waiting for someone to come and find him,” said his father, Steve DuVall. “We didn’t find him; he found himself.” Mike Kintigh, regional supervisor for the Game, Fish & Parks Department, said one or two hunters will go missing each year, but rarely for more than 24 hours. “We’re a little bit unique in the Black Hills as it’s hard to get lost for a very long time. That’s because we’ve got so many roads here compared to the Rocky Mountains,” Kintigh said. “You can certainly spend a very uncomfortable night in the woods like Austin did.” 小题1:After Austin realized he lost his way, he ___. A．was very nervous but excited B．cried aloud for help C．tried to find a safe place D．decided to sleep in the wild 小题2: Who saved Austin according to his father？ A．The couple in the cabin. B．Emergency officials. C．Volunteers. D．Himself. 小题3:From what Mike Kintigh said, we learn that _______. A．if someone gets lost in the Rocky Mountains, it is hard to find a way out B．too many people go missing in the Black Hills every year C．the rescue team is skillful enough to find the lost people in less than 24 hours D．people who are lost in the Black Hills have to spend a night in the woods

Remember the Stone Age days of research back in elementary school and middle school？ We would spend countless hours digesting the information we could find on index cards. Do you recall using those ancient com- puters that ran with the Gopher program or some generic database whose name connoted a marmot that could take half an hour to find Moby Dick？

Well, all I have to say can be summed up in five words: Thank God For The Internet! Screw going to the library! I have access to dozens of databases, journals, and collections of literature right at my fingertips. I can complete all of my research at home and no longer must run amok in the library, stressing out while trying to find Shakespeare’s The Tempest or some other book, all the while trying to block out the noisy study groups who have forgotten what the "silence policy of libraries" means.

If you recall the flood epidemic that hit Colorado State University just a couple summers ago, that natural disaster wreaked havoc all over campus. A large portion of journals and texts were located in our libraries' basement which completely filled up with about 10 feet of rain water in a matter of hours.

The Lory Student Center’s basement was also flooded and that was where the university bookstore was lo- cated. This forced almost every professor to order new textbooks and that really put a dent in our wallets. Many students here, myself included, still have to face the disappointment of searching for a particular book or journal for a last minute paper, only to find out that the certain item was a casualty of the flood.

Thanks to the Internet, the university implemented the Inter-Library Loan system. Several universities around Colorado have generously aided us in our research endeavors by loaning any resource we need for at least two to three weeks. All we have to do is type in a request and five other university libraries automatically search for that information.

Without this program, I may have failed several papers and projects. I would have had to spend my nights running from public library to public library around the state just to find a certain article or novel. The World Wide Web has also given us the capability to order any textbook at a much lower price than the university bookstores charge. Hey, we're all college students and we're usually broke, so anytime we can find a deal or discount that will save us a few bucks, we will gladly take it.

And last but not least, for those of us who are constantly homesick, have a special someone far away or still want to keep in touch with pals, we have e-mail. Like most of you, I moved away from home to go to school and my high school friends spread out across the globe. Instead of wasting money on stationery and envelopes and stamps (which seem to increase in price about every year), I can chat with everyone through the Internet. Plus, scanning has allowed us to send pictures to our sweethearts, friends, and family who have forgot- ten what we look like. So, I’m asking everyone to get on their hands and knees and to pay homage to the telecommunications god, the Internet.

The word "havoc" in the third paragraph means

A．great concern.

B．widespread horror.

C．long-lasting influence.

D．great damage or destruction.

Dear Sirs,

RE: COUNTER-OFFER FOR MOUNTAIN BICYCLES

Thank you for your letter about the offer for the captioned mountain bicycles．Although we appreciate the quality of your bicycles, their price is too high to be acceptable．Refering to the sales contract No．8998, you will find that we ordered 1000 bicycles with the same brand as per the terms and conditions stipulated in that sales contract, but the price was 15% lower than your present price．Since we placed the last order, price for raw materials has been decreased considerably．Retailing price for your bicycles here has also been reduced by 5%．Accepting your present price will mean great loss to us, let alone profit．We would like to place repeat orders with you if you could reduce your price at least by 15%．Otherwise, we have to shift to the other suppliers for our similar request.

We hope you take our suggestion into serious consideration and give us your reply as soon as possible.

Yours truly,
