Attention All Employees
Due to the unusual cold snap in December, our gas bill for the month was the highest on record. In anticipation of further cold weather in January and February, Duvall Manufacturing is instituting the following energy conservation measures immediately until further notice:
All offices, storage rooms, and warehouses will lower their thermostats from 77℉ to 74℉ during working hours. After hours, all managers are responsible for reducing the temperature further to 70℉. Upon starting work, managers should raise thermostats to 74℉. This small measure is estimated to save the company at least $400 per month. The company advises the wearing of a sweater or vest to work.
All doors and windows must be secured after working hours in offices. This will reduce any unwanted drafts from further cooling buildings.
The factories will set thermostats to 70℉ on all shifts. The heat from the machines and human activity should make work there within the comfort range. Many factory workers already complain about the warm temperatures in their work spaces.
Our heating gas bill--and probably yours at home--is a major expense. Prices for liquefied gas have risen by more than 30% since last winter. Please help us to reduce costs and keep everyone at Duvall at work.
On what basis was the charge of $10,459.45 calculated

A．The current meter reading
B．The last meter reading
C．The next scheduled meter reading
D．Payment due

Subject: FYI--Company Soccer Match
All employees who will be participating in the company soccer match against Intercomtech should be aware that the time of the game has changed from 4:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. As a result, the shuttle bus that will be taking players to the field will leave 30 minutes later, at 3:45 p.m. rather than 3:15 p.m. Make sure that you arrive at least 10 minutes early to the south entrance to allow time to sign out and to board the bus. After the bus arrives at the playing field, there should be about 30 minutes to warm up before the game begins.
Spectators of the game must provide their own transportation. We hope that everyone who is not playing will attend and cheer their co-workers on. Let’s have lots of fans there to celebrate our team’s success. Thanks!

A major breakthrough was announced in the computing world yesterday as a new type of processor was released by the computing firm Smart Designs, Inc. According to Smart Designs, the new processor uses special technology to massively decrease the size of its components, allowing the power of as many as 100 top-of-the-line processors to fit into the space of one. While details of the new technology have not been released yet, a demonstration of a computer using the new processor was made yesterday at Compucon, an annual New York computer convention.
Founded by entrepreneur Jamie Smart in 1987, Smart Designs originally manufactured a range of computer products before focusing on their processor designs in the late 90s. It was announced that Smart, now CEO, will give a press conference later this week to describe plans for the production and sale of the new computer component, as well as more details of the advanced technology it relies on. However, analysts are already forecasting a price tag of over $2,500 per unit based on the demonstration at Compucon. Shares of Smart Designs, Inc. (NYSE: SMDG) have risen by 33 percent since the news was released.

Dear Ms. Daniels:
Thank you for your inquiry about our recipe page. It’s always great to hear from our magazine’s readers. Here’s what we have to say in response to your letter.
First of all, we suggest that you always consult a doctor and do your own research before eating anything you find questionable. That said, people have been eating raw eggs for years with only a handful of sickness cases. One thing to keep in mind before consuming any is how fresh your eggs are. It is advised that you only consume very fresh raw eggs. Otherwise, you might be asking for trouble.
As for your other question, sherry is a suitable replacement for rum or brandy when making eggnog. However, it’s best to test how well the flavor blends with the other ingredients before preparing a batch for guests. It is possible some of the other spices could interfere with the sherry’s original flavor.
Sincerely,
Joyce Billows
Joyce Billows
Editor in Chief
According to the recipe, what needs to be done in advance

Advisory on Blue Mountain Mite Infestation
Random tests conducted on potato fields by the Idaho State Agriculture Department have revealed the presence of the Blue Mountain mite in southern Idaho. Though short of a warning, we are advising all those living in those areas to be aware of the possible spread of these harmful arachnids.
The Blue Mountain mite inhabits sandy soil. In addition to causing damage to potato crops, this mite has been known to cause illness in humans. The Blue Mountain mite is nearly impossible to notice, especially as its light brown skin blends easily with that of the soil. It is mildly venomous. All those working in or near farms or handling agriculture products in the above-mentioned areas should take proper precautions. Where mite infestation is noticed, property owners should contact us by Internet or by our toll-free number: 1-800-544-MITE.
To: State Agricultural Officials
From: Varner Simmons
Subject: Possible Blue Mountain Mite Infestation
Date: 08:14 / August 13
Dear Sirs:
I think I may have Blue Mountain mite infestation on several hundred acres of my property here in Gooding. I’m a potato farmer, and I’ve noticed what I think are insect bites from time to time. However, I’ve never seen the insects. They leave a small hole with red dirt around it. I’m worried that this could be the Blue Mountain mite, but I’ve never been sick from them.
My crops have suffered an average amount of damage, but nothing out of the ordinary. Do you want me to prepare a few samples of my soil or potatoes, or will you do that yourselves Please contact me at home at 421-8001, or reply by e-mail. I’m awaiting your response. Thank you very much for your attention.
What is this advisory mainly about

A．An oncoming hurricane
B．Massive crop damage to potatoes
C．A serious traffic accident
D．A possible infestation of a pest

Dear Ms. Daniels:
Thank you for your inquiry about our recipe page. It’s always great to hear from our magazine’s readers. Here’s what we have to say in response to your letter.
First of all, we suggest that you always consult a doctor and do your own research before eating anything you find questionable. That said, people have been eating raw eggs for years with only a handful of sickness cases. One thing to keep in mind before consuming any is how fresh your eggs are. It is advised that you only consume very fresh raw eggs. Otherwise, you might be asking for trouble.
As for your other question, sherry is a suitable replacement for rum or brandy when making eggnog. However, it’s best to test how well the flavor blends with the other ingredients before preparing a batch for guests. It is possible some of the other spices could interfere with the sherry’s original flavor.
Sincerely,

From: Henry
Subject: Christmas Office Party
I just read a newspaper article on some high-quality, inexpensive speakers. I was wondering if we have enough money in the budget to buy a stereo set to play music for the upcoming Christmas party and other parties in the future. A company called Jazz Hipster makes great products, many of them using new technology that reduces wire hazards while providing great sound. Last year, Melinda tripped over a speaker wire, and many of our colleagues complained about the poor sound quality.
I think we can use money for this from the employees’ union budget and the company’s employees’ safety budget. I’m going to take a look at their showroom this weekend. I’ll follow up with you on Monday. In the meantime, why don’t you approach Martha about the possibility of purchasing a new sound system
According to the advertisement, what is the problem with traditional speakers

A．They are too costly.
B．They are too bulky.
C．They are too loud.
D．They are too cutting-edge.

Advisory on Blue Mountain Mite Infestation
Random tests conducted on potato fields by the Idaho State Agriculture Department have revealed the presence of the Blue Mountain mite in southern Idaho. Though short of a warning, we are advising all those living in those areas to be aware of the possible spread of these harmful arachnids.
The Blue Mountain mite inhabits sandy soil. In addition to causing damage to potato crops, this mite has been known to cause illness in humans. The Blue Mountain mite is nearly impossible to notice, especially as its light brown skin blends easily with that of the soil. It is mildly venomous. All those working in or near farms or handling agriculture products in the above-mentioned areas should take proper precautions. Where mite infestation is noticed, property owners should contact us by Internet or by our toll-free number: 1-800-544-MITE.

Dear Sirs:
I think I may have Blue Mountain mite infestation on several hundred acres of my property here in Gooding. I’m a potato farmer, and I’ve noticed what I think are insect bites from time to time. However, I’ve never seen the insects. They leave a small hole with red dirt around it. I’m worried that this could be the Blue Mountain mite, but I’ve never been sick from them.
My crops have suffered an average amount of damage, but nothing out of the ordinary. Do you want me to prepare a few samples of my soil or potatoes, or will you do that yourselves Please contact me at home at 421-8001, or reply by e-mail. I’m awaiting your response. Thank you very much for your attention.

Attention All Employees
Due to the unusual cold snap in December, our gas bill for the month was the highest on record. In anticipation of further cold weather in January and February, Duvall Manufacturing is instituting the following energy conservation measures immediately until further notice:
All offices, storage rooms, and warehouses will lower their thermostats from 77℉ to 74℉ during working hours. After hours, all managers are responsible for reducing the temperature further to 70℉. Upon starting work, managers should raise thermostats to 74℉. This small measure is estimated to save the company at least $400 per month. The company advises the wearing of a sweater or vest to work.
All doors and windows must be secured after working hours in offices. This will reduce any unwanted drafts from further cooling buildings.
The factories will set thermostats to 70℉ on all shifts. The heat from the machines and human activity should make work there within the comfort range. Many factory workers already complain about the warm temperatures in their work spaces.
Our heating gas bill--and probably yours at home--is a major expense. Prices for liquefied gas have risen by more than 30% since last winter. Please help us to reduce costs and keep everyone at Duvall at work.
On what basis was the charge of $10,459.45 calculated

A．The current meter reading
B．The last meter reading
C．The next scheduled meter reading
D．Payment due

A major breakthrough was announced in the computing world yesterday as a new type of processor was released by the computing firm Smart Designs, Inc. According to Smart Designs, the new processor uses special technology to massively decrease the size of its components, allowing the power of as many as 100 top-of-the-line processors to fit into the space of one. While details of the new technology have not been released yet, a demonstration of a computer using the new processor was made yesterday at Compucon, an annual New York computer convention.
Founded by entrepreneur Jamie Smart in 1987, Smart Designs originally manufactured a range of computer products before focusing on their processor designs in the late 90s. It was announced that Smart, now CEO, will give a press conference later this week to describe plans for the production and sale of the new computer component, as well as more details of the advanced technology it relies on. However, analysts are already forecasting a price tag of over $2,500 per unit based on the demonstration at Compucon. Shares of Smart Designs, Inc. (NYSE: SMDG) have risen by 33 percent since the news was released.
What was a result of the release of the new computer part

A．Jamie Smart was made CEO of the company.
B．Analysts valued the company at $2,500.
C．Smart Designs, Inc. stock rose by 33 percent.
D．100 top-of-the-line processors were built.
