Porter: Speaking.

Philips: Mark Philips here. I’ve just had a memo from Jenny Hobbes about Diet Crus.

Porter: Again？ I thought we’d taken the decision about that a year ago.

Philips: Well, she’s pointed out that there are about ten different brands on the shelves in the south-east at the moment. When we talked about it before there were only two or three.

Porter: Yes, the market was very slow. I still don’t think people are really interested in diet drinks, since there are so many things labeled as “diet”.

Philips: Well, er, I just thought you could check out the figures with, er, Daisy. I think she could get hold of a market survey.

Porter: All right, I’ll see what she comes up with.

tions about the new official standard weight that you purchased.

M: I'd be happy to help you. What would you like to know？

W: First of all, how was the standard weight used？

M: Well, the people in our department use it to check the scales all over the country. The department of weights and measures, we are a government agency. It's our responsibility to see that all the scales measure a kilogram accurately so this is the way we use to adjust the scales.

W: How did you check the scales before？

M: We have an old standard weight that we used to use. It had to be replaced because it was imprecise. You see it was made of poor quality metal that was too porous. It absorbed too much moisture.

W: Oh. So when the weather was humid it weighed more and when it was dry it weighed less.

M: Exactly. And that variation can affect the standards of the whole country. So our department had the new weight made out of higher quality metal.

W: How much did it cost？

M: About 45 thousand dollars.

W: 45 000 dollars？ For one kilogram weight？ That's more expensive than gold. Is it really worth that much？

M: I'm sure it is. Industries depend on our government agency to monitor the accuracy of scales so that when they buy and sell their products there is one standard. Think of the drug industry, for example, those companies rely on high accuracy scales to manufacture and package medicine.

What is the conversation mainly about？

A．How to care for precious metals.

B．A standard unit for measuring weight.

C．The value of precious metals.

D．Using the metric system.

orried that I might have something more serious, such as high blood pressure.

M: Well, we'll check that out, of course, but first, tell me when you had your glasses changed. It really sounds more like eye strain.

Q: What does the man suspect？

(13)

A．That the woman has high blood pressure.

B．That her headache is caused by her glasses.

C．That the woman is suffering from stress.

D．That the woman has very serious headaches.
