Dear Ms. Pascal,

I would appreciate very much an opportunity to meet with you and demonstrate how my unique experience and education could be of particular advantage to your company’s future growth.

My practice last summer at Pascal Business Systems helped me focus on my academic and career goals. My fourteen weeks with your company involved sales support activities including preparing brochures and catalogs，coordinating trade shows，providing data and information to salespeople in the field，and interacting with customers.

During the past two semesters I have concentrated on developing my electronic publishing and business communication skills. I am confident that I Can improve the ways in which Pascal Business Systems provides support for field marketing representatives. This would include designing and maintaining an online catalog which could be coordinated with current inventories(库存清单).

I am available for an interview at your convenience and look forward to an opportunity to discuss ways to improve operations and communications with field locations and sales. Thank you for your kind consideration.

Sincerely，

Lourdes Santiago

. I find the result humiliating(使丢脸) to me. For it obliges me to give up my support for the Darwinian theory of the Ascent of Man from the Lower Animals; since it now seems plain to me that that theory ought to be replaced by a new and truer one, the Descent of Man from the Higher Animals.

In proceeding towards this unpleasant conclusion I have not guessed or speculated, but have used what is commonly called the scientific method. That is to say, I have subjected every hypothesis to the test of actual experiment, and have adopted it or rejected it according to the result.

Many men who have accumulated more money than they can ever use have shown a violent hunger for more, and have not hesitated to cheat the ignorant and the helpless of their poor savings in order to satisfy that appetite. I furnished a hundred different kinds of wild animals the opportunity to accumulate vast stores of food, but none of them would do it. The bees and certain birds made accumulations, but stopped when they had gathered a winter's supply, and could not be persuaded to add to it either honestly or by deception. These experiments convinced me that there is the difference between man and the higher animals: he is greedy, they are not.

Man is the only animal that robs his helpless fellow of his country—takes possession of it and drives him out of it or destroys him. Man has done this in all the ages. There is not an acre of ground on the globe that is held by its rightful owner, or that has not been taken away from owner after owner, by force and bloodshed.

Man is the Reasoning Animal. Such is the claim. I think it is open to debate. Indeed, my experiments have proven to me that he is the Unreasoning Animal. His record is the fantastic record of a maniac(狂热者). I consider that the strongest count against his intelligence is the fact that with that record back of him he still sets himself up as the head animal of the lot: whereas by his own standards he is the bottom one.

The writer claims that his theory is ______.

A．practical

B．objective

C．subjective

D．scientific

(b) Donald actually decided to operate as a sole trader. The first year’s results of his business were not as he had

hoped, and he made a trading loss of ￡8,000 in the year to 31 March 2007. However, trading is now improving,

and Donald has sufficient orders to ensure that the business will make profits of at least ￡30,000 in the year to

31 March 2008.

In order to raise funds to support his business over the last 15 months, Donald has sold a painting which was

given to him on the death of his grandmother in January 1998. The probate value of the painting was ￡3,200,

and Donald sold it for ￡8,084 (after deduction of 6% commission costs) in November 2006.

He also sold other assets in the year of assessment 2006/07, realising further chargeable gains of ￡8,775 (after

indexation of ￡249 and taper relief of ￡975).

Required:

(i) Calculate the chargeable gain on the disposal of the painting in November 2006. (4 marks)

lly，I am a mother.Not too long ago a male friend of mine appeared on the scene fresh from a divorce(离婚).He had one child，who is，of course，with his ex-wife.He is obviously looking for another wife.As I thought about him while I was cooking one evening，it suddenly occurred to me that I，too，would like to have a wife.Why do I want a wife？I would like to go back to school so that I can become economically independent，support myself，and，if need be，support those dependent upon me.I want a wife who will work and send me to school.And while I am going to school I want a wife to take care of my children.I want a wife to keep track of the children's doctor appointments.And to keep track of mine，too.I want a wife to make sure my children eat properly and are kept clean.I want a wife who will wash the children's clothes and keep them mended.I want a wife who arranges for their schooling，makes sure that they have an adequate(足够的)social life with their peers(同伴)，and takes them to the park，the zoo，etc.I want a wife who will take care of my physical needs.I want a wife who will keep my house clean.I want a wife who will keep my clothes clean，mended，replaced when need be，and who will see to it that my personal things are kept in their proper place so that I can find what I need the minute I need it.I want a wife who cooks the meals，a wife who is a good cook.I want a wife who will plan the menus，do the necessary grocery shopping，prepare the meals，serve them pleasantly，and then do the washing up while I do my studying.I want a wife who will care for me while I am sick and sympathize with my pain and loss of time from school.I want a wife to go along when our family takes a vacation so that someone can continue to care for me and my children when I need a rest and change of scene.If，by chance，I find another person more suitable as a wife than the wife I already have，I want the liberty to replace my present wife with another one.Naturally，I will expect a fresh，new life：My wife will take the children and be solely responsible for them so that I am left free.When I am through with school and have a job，I want my wife to quit working and remain at home so that my wife can more fully and completely take care of a wife's duties.My God，who wouldn't want a wife？
