City No Longer Offers Free Street Parking

By Martin Thinner

The local city council is set to introduce new parking regulations to help alleviate congestion
around downtown Queenstown. “Evening peak hours are when our streets are jammed,” said Tom
Gilligan, a representative on the Queenstown City Council. “Those from out of town come to our
downtown areas to enjoy our restaurants, theaters, and concerts. Like everyone else, they prefer to
avoid paid parking areas, so they drive around looking for a convenient spot, which, in turn, causes
congestion.”

“The system needs to change,” Mr. Gilligan said in response to the current parking pay system,
where payment on the street is required only from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. while there are no parking fees
at night. “We’d prefer to keep up with what other cities are doing, which require payment 24 hours
a day.”

If approved, this proposal will be the second in the last few months. May saw the introduction of
new parking meters, which now accept both coins and credit cards in addition to Queenstown
parking cards. The parking cards, which went on sale in June, can be obtained from local city
offices.

68. What is suggested about Queenstown?

(A) Its roads require resurfacing.
(B) It must find a new contractor for road construction.
(C) It has problems with traffic.
8/27 Mã đề: …
 (D) Its residents are offered free parking in city parking lots.

69. What is the city council considering?

(A) Installing security cameras in parking areas
(B) Outsourcing parking lots for residents
(C) Decreasing the hourly parking rate
(D) Commencing charging parking fees in the evening

70. What recently happened in Queenstown?

(A) Several downtown parking garages underwent renovations.
(B) The city council refurbished unused land for parking space.
(C) Parking meters were replaced.
(D) New options for parking payments were introduced.

71. The word “alleviate” in paragraph 1, line 1, is closest in meaning to

(A) aggravate

(C) reduce
(D) collapse

Product Review
Flairs Animal Furniture’s Forest Creek Doghouse

Last week, I bought the Forest Creek Doghouse. After receiving it only two days after ordering it
rather than the standard five, I was thrilled. For further instructions, I tried but failed to contact
Flairs Animal Furniture’s Customer Service Department after spending several infuriating days
trying to put it together. Eventually, I repacked the doghouse and returned it to Flairs.

Flairs described the Forest Creek Doghouse as an easy DIY kit that comes with the appropriate
tools to assemble it. This was definitely not the case. The screw fittings and markings were not
properly aligned. Thus it was impossible to line up the boards perfectly. This resulted in a warped
doghouse. The tools provided with the kit were poor, and one even broke while I was using it. All
four wall sides splintered as I was trying to connect the roof piece. In the end, Flairs refused to
supply me with free replacements for the doghouse and tools.

Unsurprisingly, this will be the last item I buy from Flairs Animal Furniture range of wooden

if the company will replace any parts damaged during assembly.

(D) All the wall boards of the doghouse broke.

75. What advice does Mr. Matthews give about purchasing a product from Flairs Animal
Furniture?
(A) To make sure to purchase a product from the Forest Creek range

bestseller The Lovely on February 23 at 1:30 PM. Jeanice Wallace describes this book as a “true-
life novel” written from the point of view of the author’s West Texan grandmother Lisa Carey.
The Carey Clan, including the author herself, has resided in Texas for over 2 centuries. The novel
chronicles Lisa Carey’s life as the spunky, energetic daughter of an ex-convict and a pious,

God-fearing mother who leaves home to see the country with a traveling circus. Bring your best

Dear Ms. Wallace,

We have a friend in common, Robert Green, who gave me your e-mail address. I hope that is

hoping there might be some chance you would be willing either to provide us with some insights
or discussion items or, even better, to join us in a lively discussion of your book.

Because you are a local author, we plan to read one of your books every year. In the past, we have
read your books August Moon and Spreading Her Wings. We would really appreciate anything
you might be willing to contribute to make our discussion of The Lovely as good as possible. I
heard that your new book will come out soon. I think it will be selected as the next book of our

JOB TITLE: Division of Design and Construction Instructor

JOB SUMMARY: The Division of Design and Construction at Rapids Vocational Training Center
will introduce students to the study of design and construction – integrated within a rigorous and
relevant core curriculum – that will enhance their mastery of academic skills and content. The
Division of Design and Construction will increase a student’s ability to think critically, analyze
information, express uniqueness and gain relevant knowledge that will prepare him/her for global
success.

** Preference will be given to the applicants who have published related books or have overseas
experience.

To whom it may concern,

I am writing to express interest in the Division of Design and Construction Instructor position you
have posted on your Center’s website. I am a licensed teacher in Michigan with 7 years’ teaching
experience.

Before becoming a teacher, I spent 3 years in the design and construction industry. I interned with
a prestigious architect firm in Grand Rapids, Michigan during college and was granted
employment upon my graduation. My degree from Michigan State University is in Drafting and
Design. After my 3 year stint in the world of architecture, I decided my true passion was teaching
and so returned to school to get my master’s in Education. Upon graduation, I was hired by Union

 City High School as their Drafting and Design teacher, where I have spent the last 7 years. While I
love my position at Union City High School, my husband’s work requires that we relocate and
thus I am applying for employment at your educational facility.

I have a passion for teaching young people and feel that the world of Design and Construction
opens their minds to a world of possibilities. I feel that my teaching philosophy falls in line with
your desire that the teacher should be able to enhance the students’ thinking and analyzing skills,
impart what makes them distinctive, and prepare them for a fruitful future.

Sincerely,

Megan Simpson
