Questions 156-158 refer to the following job announcement.

The Green Yorke Collective

Editing Manager
The Green Yorke Collective is looking for an editor to supervise a staff of expert writers for its online
music publication, Stereo Brain. The editor will check over the work of our writers and decide which
topic to pursue for each month’s online issue. Upon being hired, he or she should also immediately assist
with the conversion of our formerly print magazine’s format to make it compatible with our new Web
site, as well as helping us to fill our newly opened positions for part-time columnists, and determining the
publication’s goals for the coming year.

The successful applicant should not only have a deep knowledge of current music, but should also be able
to tailor that information specifically to an online audience. He or she should attempt to seek out exciting
new bands that have not been discovered yet, and not just focus on groups that are already successful. We
would rather employ someone who will take big chances and fail than someone who just plays it safe all
of the time. Finally, he or she needs to be familiar with much more than just rock music, as we plan on
expanding the scope of our magazine to encompass a larger variety of music.

In order to apply, please send your resume with a full description of your work history to Francine Palance
at fpalance@stereobrain.com. You should make sure to include ideas for new features that you would like
to add to our Web site. Although we will consider a candidate’s writing experience, please do not send us
a writing portfolio or articles you may have written previously, as we will be basing our decision mainly
on the vision you plan to bring to the site. We will be accepting applications until we have filled the
position.

Questions 161-164 refer to the following article.

First Oil, the leading national brand of motor oil, announced price increases this week. -[1]-. This is the
first price increase in over a decade for the motor oil company. First Oil’s share of the market is over 30
percent, so the price increase may significantly affect the overall cost of motor oil.

-[2]-. A spokesperson for the company said that while they had tried to keep prices down for years, the
recent surges in the price of oil have made it impossible to keep the same price point. Managing to charge
the same price for over a decade was already highly unusual. -[3]-. Some suggest that First Oil’s low price
was the main reason for their lead in the market.

The cost increase may allow other competing brands to attract more customers. Prices will increase to $10
per quart, which is a fairly significant increase. -[4]-. They have always charged an average of 2~3 cents
more per quart. First Oil previously charged $8.50 for a quart.

increase? Oil’s success?
(A) A competitive advantage (A) It

The local business community gives annual awards for the “Best Company to Work For” in the

first time. The company makes lightweight bicycles that are sold in over 20 countries worldwide. It
has been in business for over 15 years, and relocated to Harris County last year. In 2005, the firm

Companies are considered for awards based on average salary, vacation time and health benefits.
Rightway paid the highest average salary to entry-level workers in the area and scored above
average on the amount of vacation time provided and the quality of their health care plan. It also
received high marks for employee morale, corporate culture and growth potential.
Rightway is currently the only bicycle maker that keeps all of its manufacturing in the U.S. It does
use some parts made overseas, but all final construction is performed here in Harris County.

Questions 172-175 refer to the following article.

Price Warehouse, a new discount department store, is holding a sneak preview sale on Friday,
October 1st at their new facility in River Bend. The company has stores in over 30 cities nationwide,
but this new 50,000 square-foot location is the first in the western half of the country.

Price Warehouse has been very successful in other cities, offering discounts on surplus stock and
last-season items purchased in bulk from other, more expensive department stores. The company
has shown growth in each of the past five years and expects to hire over 100 new employees at the
River Bend location. There are expected to be additional business effects resulting from the new
store’s opening. Other merchants in the area anticipate an increase in business, and several retail
locations have been rented by national restaurant chains and other retailers. This could in turn mean
additional new jobs in the area. The local chamber of commerce has stated that they are “extremely
pleased” to have Price Warehouse in the city, especially for the potential economic impact.

There will be special prizes and giveaways at the event, as well as a coupon for 20 percent off of any
single item in the store for the first 100 shoppers. Shoppers are advised to get there early, as a high
turnout is expected for the event. The store is located on the corner of Sandy Way and 3rd Avenue,
and there is a large multi-level parking garage on the south side of the building.

It is that time of year again where we begin planning our company’s year-end celebration dinner.
We were very pleased with the private room, courteous service, and delicious food provided by the
Floating Lotus last year and would like to book the same room and make the same arrangements for
this year.

Our celebration will be a bit bigger this year— the recent opening of a new branch office means there
will be approximately 120 guests in attendance—and we would like to offer our guests a vegetarian
option as well this year.

Please contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss our reservation options. We would like to
hold the event on Saturday, December 29.

Todd Valentine

Dear Mr. Valentine,

Thank you for your kind comments about our restaurant. We work very hard to provide the ultimate
dining experience for every one of our guests, so I am glad to hear you had such a wonderful time
during your special event last year.

As you may know, I was not a member of the Flying Lotus staff last year, so I am missing some
important information regarding your event. First, which private room did you use? We only have
the Japanese Garden room (capacity: 150) available the night you requested, and so I hope that is
the room you would prefer. Also, which entrees were you served at last year’s event? Our menu has
undergone some major changes, so if one of your requested dishes is no longer available, I will see if
I can work with the chef to re-create it for your special event.

I am available Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Please call me when you have time to
discuss these and other details.

Sincerely,
Arnold Sampson
Special Events Coordinator
Floating Lotus Restaurant, 555-2554

Date: 26 May

Dear Mr. Oswald,

I am one of the organizers of the Hartford Book Fair, which is held every summer in the town of
Hartford. We have made two changes to the event this year: the fair will take place in Hartford
Library for the first time, and it will last for one day longer than usual. In addition to the sale of a wide
range of books, the event will feature various guest speakers. These speakers include authors, book
critics, publishers, and editors. Please see the attached file for a tentative schedule of talks.

We expect this to be a very well attended event. It will be sponsored by several prominent local
businesses and receive extensive coverage in newspapers and magazines. Therefore, this would be
an outstanding opportunity for you to promote the novel you are currently writing, and we would be
happy for you to read an excerpt at the fair, if you wish to do so.

If you are interested in participating, please look at the schedule and let me know your preferred
speaking time slot.

Subject: Houses For Sale
Date: September 5

Hello,

I’d like to find out what houses you currently have available in the Oakglen area. As a medical sales
representative, I spend much of my time visiting prospective clients throughout the state, so I’m
planning to sell my current house and find a home that is more centrally located. My cousin referred
me to your company, and she told me you work hard to find each client’s ideal home.

What I am looking for is house in Oakglen that is priced at less than $350,000. I’d prefer one that has
two bedrooms and at least 1,300 square feet of living space. Also, I need a double garage, as both
my husband and I drive. I’ll be near your agency on several occasions next week, so I’d like to stop
by to discuss suitable properties. When would be the best time for you? I can drop in on Thursday,
September 8th, or the following day.

I look forward to receiving your reply.

Dear Ms. Robinson,

Thanks for your interest in using our agency to help find a new home. I’m pleased to hear that we
were recommended to you by your cousin. We’ve only been in business for a few months, so we
have to work hard to compete with the well-established agencies in the area. Word-of-mouth is a
valuable way for us to reach new clients.

I’d love to speak with you regarding available properties. You mentioned meeting on Thursday, but I’m
afraid I’ll be out of town. Let’s make it Friday, instead. Let me know what time you’ll be available. In
the meantime, please check our Web site to have a look at our properties. I believe we have several
in the Oakglen neighborhood.

Important Notice for Parents

The Baby Guardian Smart Click 3, one of the most popular infant car seat models currently on the
market, has been found to be defective. As such, anyone who has purchased this product should
return it any Baby Guardian retail outlet immediately.

This particular model has been found to contain a defect that affects the harness adjuster button,
and this poses a significant safety hazard. The harness adjuster button may stay stuck in the “release”
position after the harness is tightened. This allows the shoulder harnesses to loosen, thereby
allowing a child to move freely in the seat. A loose harness will not adequately protect a child in the
event of a motor vehicle crash.

To find your nearest Baby Guardian store, call us at 555-6672.

Dear sir/madam,

I just wanted to provide some feedback regarding the Smart Click 3 I bought about three months
ago. So far, I’ve been very satisfied with the product. I often take my child with me in the car, so I
use the car seat almost every day. When I bought it, it only took me a few seconds to click it into
position, and it didn’t budge once it was in my car! The cushioning is not quite as thick as I would’ve
liked, but it’s good enough. I recently heard that a fault was found in this model, but I haven’t
returned my car seat, since the issue does not seem to affect the one I bought. Overall, I’m definitely
a happy customer, and I hope Baby Guardian keeps up the good work.
