M: Well, (23) it's a rather simple project at the beginning. It would consist of only one production line, but we could expand it afterwards.

M: Including loans? I would say in the area of two million US dollars.
W: I see.
M: How much would you like to invest in this project?
W: (24) As a general practice we lay out 51 percent of the overall investment. This includes, of course, capital, factory, buildings and equipments, things like that.
M: That seems reasonable. Now let's come to the time frame. How long does the venture run?
W: How long would you want?

W: The contract is renewable and can be extended if both sides agreed.
M: How long do the board members serve?
W: I would say Five years.
M: (25) The chairman would be the legal representative.
W: Yes. A management office would be brought forth and would be responsible for the day to day running of the joint venture. So far as the management is concerned, you might appoint the manager and the chief engineer of the project. And we might appoint their deputies.

During the winter they would be quite happy, but every summer a lot of their relatives used to spend holiday in their house, and it was much cheaper than staying in hotel. Finally one day in June Mr. Richards complained to a clever friend of his who lived in the same place. “One of my wife’s cousins is going to bring her husband and children and spend ten days with us next month again. How have you prevented all your relatives from coming to live with you in summer?” “Oh,” the friend answered, “that is not difficult. I just borrow money from all the rich ones, and lend it to all the poor ones. After that, they seldom come again.” Hearing this Mr. Richards smiled.

[A] it was cool in summer
[B] they might spend less money
[C] they were more welcome
[D] it was a comfortable place
The Pek Wine Steward prevents wine from spoiling by injecting argon, an inert gas, into the bottle before sealing it airtight with silicon. Mr. Luzaich, a mechanical engineer in Windsor, Calif—in the Sonoma County wine country—first tallied the costs of his reasonable consumption in October 2001. "I'd like to come home in the evening and have a glass of wine with dinner", he said. "My wife doesn't drink very much. so the bottle wouldn't get consumed. And maybe I would forget about it the next day, and I'd check back a day or two later, and the wine would be spoiled". That meant he was wasting most of a $15 to $20 bottle of wine dozens of times a year.
A cheek of the wine-preservation gadgets on the market left Mr. Luzaich dissatisfied High-end wine cabinets cost thousands of dollars—a huge investment for a glass-a-day drinker. Affordable preservers, meanwhile, didn't quite perform. to Mr. Luzaich's liking; be thought they allowed too much oxidation, which degrades the taste of a wine.
The solution, he decided, was a better gas. Many preservers pumped nitrogen into an opened bottle to slow a wine's decline, even though oenological literature suggested that argon was more effective. So when he began designing the Pek Wine Steward, a metal cone into which a wine bottle is inserted, Mr. Luzaich found that his main challenge was to figure out how best to introduce the argon.
He spent months fine-tuning a gas injection system. "We used computational fluid dynamics to model the gas flow", Mr. Luzaich said, referring to a computer-analysis technique that measures how smoothly particles are flowing. The goal was to create an injector that could swap a bottle's oxygen atoms for argon atoms; argon is an inert gas, and thus unlikely to harm a nice Chianti.
Mr. Luzaich, who had previously designed medical and telecommunications products, also worked on creating an airtight seal, to secure the bottle after the argon was injected. He experimented with several substances, from neoprene to a visco-elastic polymer (which he dismissed as "too gooey"), before settling on a food-grade silicon.
To save wine, a bottle is placed inside the Pek Wine Steward, the top is closed, and a trigger is pulled for 5 to 10 seconds, depending on how much wine remains. When the trigger is released, the bottle is sealed automatically, preserving the wine for a week or more. The company says. "We wanted to make it very easy for the consumer", Mr. Luzaich said. "It's basically mindless".
The device, which resembles a high-tech thermos, first became available to consumers in March 2004, and 8,000 to 10,000 have been sold, primarily through catalogs like those of The Wine Enthusiast and Hammacher Schlemmer The base model sells for $99; a deluxe model, which also includes a thermoelectric cooler, is $199.
According to Gregory Luzaich. the disadvantage of modest drinking is______.
A.damaging the liver
B.costing much
C.breaking marriages
D.spoiling the wine
听力原文:Travel agent: Good morning. Can I help you sir?
Mr. Adams: Yes, good morning. Er, my name is Adams. I am going to a conference in Sydney in July.
Travel agent: Yes. How long for?
Mr. Adams: I expect to be there for about three weeks.
Travel agent: I see. Well, there is an excursion fare.
Mr. Adams: How much would that be?
Travel agent: 795 pounds. That allows you one stopover, one stopover outside Australia.
Mr. Adams: Only one stopover?
Travel agent: Yes, (7[B])that's a restriction on excursion fares, one stopover and not in Australia.
Mr. Adams: I see. Well, I suppose it would be nice to have a stopover in the far east somewhere, Hong Kong or Bangkok. Hm. And there's another point. Er, I'm going with two friends and we have got a friend in Perth in Australia. Now we all know him and it would be very nice to visit him on the way back to London after the conference.
Travel agent: Sorry sir. (8[C])You've got to remember, no stopover in Australia on the excursion fare. Of course, you could pay the full fare.
Mr. Adams: Mm. No, I don't really want that.
Travel agent: Or, well, there is something else you can do. You could take a single ticket to Sydney, that's 400 pounds, (9[B])and a ticket from Sydney to Perth, about 150 pounds, and then another single Perth to London ,that's about four hundred and twenty. That's much less than the full fare. But remember, no stopovers allowed on single flights, so you wouldn't be able to go to Bangkok or Hong Kong.
Mr. Adams: I see. Well, I'd just fly directly back to London. But look, if you don't mind I think (10[D])I'll talk it over with my friends first and I'll come back in a few days' time. Urn, I hope they'll come to Perth with me. I'd really like to see my friends. Anyway, um, I'll see you later.
Travel agent: That's fine. I'll see you next week perhaps. Goodbye.
Mr. Adams: Bye.
What is the disadvantage of an excursion fare?
A.More expensive than the usual price.
B.Only one stopover allowed.
C.Having only one Australian stop.
D.Many restrictions on it.
