But it is a great pity that we find there is something wrong with the refrigeration facilities.After we used it for several days, we find that food stored in the refrigerating compartment turned bad quickly. When we finally took the temperature of it, we were surprised to find that it was around 15℃, muchhigher than the standard temperature which should ranges from 0℃ to 9℃.

A good-quality computer should last longer and I was dissatisfied with it. So I called the Complaints Department, willing to discuss about the resolution. However, the girl who answered my phone gave me nothing but impatience and ignorance.To be honest, I was annoyed more by her attitude than the poor quality of the laptop. Therefore, I hope this girl would apologize to me sincerely after certain punishment.I believe, as the head of Complaints Department, you can come up with an acceptable solution before I turn to the legal department to defend my rights. An early response will be appreciated.Sincerely yours,Tina 3、[高分范文]NOTICEThe sports meeting to be held this Saturday has to be put off because of the heavy rain.

Many experts would argue that both these activities play a critical role in serving the community. The fundamental question, however, is: how does the community want or need to be served?In recent years universities have been coming under increasing pressure from both the governments, and the public to ensure that they do notremain “ivory towers”(象牙塔) of study separated from the realities of everyday life. University teachers have been encouraged, and in some cases constrained(强逼), to provide more courses which produce graduates with the technical skills required for the commercially useful purpose. If Aristotle wanted to work in university in the UK today, he would have a good chance of teaching computer science but would not be so readily employable as a philosopher. A postindustrial society requires large numbers of computer programmers, engineers, managers and technicians to maintain and develop its economic growth but “man”, as the Bible says, “does not live by bread alone.” Apart from requiring medical and s ocial services, which do not directly contribute to economic growth, the society should also value and enjoy literature, music and the arts. A successful musical play, for instance, can contribute as much to the Gross National Product through tourist dollars as any other things.1、Task 1Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40.

Different people go to stock markets. Some are rich, who want to get more money than they have. Others are not rich, who buy stocks and try to become rich. Still others buy stocks as part of their plan to save money. Of course, investing money in the stock market is not the safest way to make money. No one can tell exactly whether the shares will be doing well. The factory or the company may do badly. Then the stocks will go down, and investors will lose money. The stock may go up or down for a number of untold reasons.Everyone wants the stock to go up, but sometimes even if a factory or company does a good job, the stock may still go down. No wonder going to the stock market is often compared to gambling. All are anxious to make money by “gambling” in the stock market. Factories and companies that need money are pleased that so many people are willing to “gamble”.1、Task 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1.The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.There are stock markets in large cities in many countries.
