JOHN: Have you had a chance to look over the contract?
LORRIE: Yes.I've read it carefully.
JOHN: And do you have any questions?
LORRIE: No.But the contract stipulates that I will teach 22 hours a week.Will you have that many classes for me right away?
JOHN: No, probably not.For the first two weeks you may teach 10 or 15 hours.
LORRIE : But my salary will be 1 100 dollars a month.Will you pay me that much for the first month? Because, I mean, I won't be working so many hours.
JOHN: I understand.That's why I didn't write the date on the contract.For the first two weeks, we will pay you according to the hours you teach.When you have 22 hours of classes, then the contract will take effect.Is that alright with you?
LORRIE: Oh, so I don't sign the contract today.Is that right?
JOHN: I don't want you to misunderstand, Miss Briggs.We are very serious about hiring you.We want you to teach for us.We usually do contracts this way because it is more convenient.
LORRIE: I can accept that.
JOHN: Good.And your benefits will begin immediately.
LORRIE: Even my health insurance?
JOHN: Yes.We will apply for your health insurance tomorrow.And your free membership in the club starts today if you like.
LORRIE: I have a few questions about the free membership.
JOHN: What would you like to know?
LORRIE : Is my membership the same as paying club members? I mean, can I get discounts at club hotels?
JOHN: Absolutely.The only difference is in the restaurant and bar vouchers.
LORRIE: What are bar vouchers?
JOHN: Paying club members get around 300 dollars a year in restaurant vouchers.The vouchers can be used in the restaurant or the lounge.But we don't offer vouchers to employees.
LORRIE: But according to the contract, employees get a discount in the restaurant.
JOHN: That's fight.So in a way, it is cheaper for you than for the members.You get more benefits than they do.
LORRIE: So, for now, you want me to keep a copy of the contract.But we won't sign it yet.Is that right?
JOHN: Yes.I've prepared the contract just so that you understand everything, so that you understand the terms.
LORRIE: I understand.And according to the terms on the contract, I am happy to accept this job.I look forward to it.
JOHN: I'm very pleased.We look forward to having you here, Miss Briggs.

M: Good morning, Cindy.
W: Roberta, what exactly do time management consultants do?
M: Well, Cindy, it's all about helping people to organize their work in an ef fective way: maximum efficiency; minimum stress.
W: Hah, sounds like something I need. Who are your clients?
M: Um, mainly business people, but I've also worked with politicians, civil servants and university lecturers.
W: Um, quite a range, then. And what sort of things help people to organ ize their time? I suppose punctuality is important.
M: Um, yes and no. It's easier to finish a meeting on time if it starts on time. But in international contexts, you do have to be aware of cultural differences.
W: For example?
M: Well, in Britain big, formal meetings usually start on time, but less for mal meetings often begin a few minutes late. In Germany, on the other hand, people expect all meetings to begin on time; In some countries, er, for example, in Latin America, there's a more relaxed attitude. So, you d6 have to adapt to circumstances.
W: Um, it sounds like even if you manage your own time very well, you still can't control what other people do.
M. Well, you can set limits. If you're meeting a friend who always arrives late, you can say, "Well, I'm going to wait for 15 minutes. If they aren't there by then, I'll leave,"
W: Hmm. I've got one friend who's always late. I don't think I'd ever see her if I did that.
M: Hah, but people who are always late are the ones you need to set limits with. If they know that you won't wait, then, perhaps they'll make an effort.
W: Isn't that rather harsh?
M: No, not really. Someone who constantly turns up late is putting a low value on your time. Let them know you've got other things to do. And I'm not suggesting you do that with everyone just the persistent latecomers.

Section III Reading Comprehension
(60 minutes)
Part A
Directions :
Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET1.
Text 1
Inflation has just exploded. The real problem is that we have an underlying rate of inflation-an impetus of wages chasing prices-of maybe 9 percent that is heading towards 10 percent. There also have been tremendous shocks in energy ,food and housing prices ,making it worse.
By the end of the year ,we will be in a situation where year in ,year out, we can look forward to at least 10 percent inflation. And the question will be: How much worse will oil ,food and housing prices make that?
The situation has degenerated to the point that the only way to turn it around is to think of some very extreme changes in policy. A policy of gradualism ,where you're talking about a mild re- cession and another l t0 2 million people unemployed ,won't make much difference. Postponing ac-tion just means that inflation presses further and is even more difficult to deal with.
You have to start with revenue and monetary restraint. All the burden now is on monetary poli-cy. We should shift to a much more restrictive revenue policy and an easier monetary policy. To be Significant ,the 1981 budget should be cut by at least 20 billion dollars from 616 billion President Carter proposed. That's a major cut in government programs-and very hard to do. It's impossible if you save defense and all the programs indexed for changes in the cost of living.
So it means cuts across the board in every area-including the indexed programs ,such as So-cial Security and food stamps. State and local-government revenue-sharing programs are another ma-jor candidate. You've also got to reopen the 1980 budget and cut that.
Then I would favor wage and price controls to break the impetus of the wage-price interaction .In order to get quick results ,l 'd set the standard around 5 0r 6 percent for both wages and prices .Basically ,you're aiming to cut the rate of inflation in half the first year. There would be no excep-tions ,but you would focus on large corporations and .major labor settlements.
For the special sectors where the big shocks have occurred ,controls won't work .lnstead ,you need additional policies in each one of those areas.
There are no cheap or easy solutions to the inflation problem. My answer is to take all the things that everybody wants to do ,and instead of choosing among them ,do all of them. We've got to think in terms of a comprehensive program.
41.ln the author's opinion ,the high inflation rate in the US was accompanied by
[ A] energy crises.
[ B ] mounting wages.
[ C] housing shortage.
[ D] shrinking market.
