1. Which of the following would you rather be? Lawyer, veterinarian or restaurant owner. Explain your answer in details.

參考答案：

I would rather be a veterinarian for the following reasons. First of all, I love animals! It'll make me feel good about myself knowing I can take care of them and fix their problems. Animals don't know how to communicate by speaking like human beings do when in pain. Professional training is essential for giving animals the right treatment. Also, so many people have pets these days. And they're willing to go to extraordinary lengths to ensure the well being of their best friends. Therefore the demand for veterinarian is enormous. And the pay isn't bad at all from what I've heard!

2. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It's impolite to make calls or send text messages on a diner table. Explain in details.

參考答案：

I think it's not cool to use cellphones on dinner tables. If you're having dinner with friends and family, be with them. The family meal is a social event, not a food ingestion event. Even if your phone is in your lap, the people with you all know what you're doing when your eyes are focused on your lap. Just because it's a quiet activity, you're not fooling anyone. And then everyone's attention is on the fact that your attention is on your phone, not on them. Also, people nowadays are always connected; we rarely get a chance to have a face-to-face conversation with friends and families. Dinner tables are the ideal place for us to talk with our loved ones.

4. 閱讀：Joint Venture. 講的是公司合作的問題，兩個不同領(lǐng)域的公司，綜合業(yè)務(wù)，形成新業(yè)務(wù)

聽力：教授舉例，說一家電視新聞公司（TV news company）想建一個網(wǎng)站，這樣顧客就方便看到新的消息。但是公司沒有人才去建網(wǎng)站，不能提供news read online，所以他們決定和一家科技公司（technology group）合作，新聞公司提供資訊，科技公司提供技術(shù)運營網(wǎng)站（maintain website）。然后發(fā)展的很好，甚至網(wǎng)站可以吸引來廣告投資，這個是他們單獨存在時誰都辦不到的。

Key Points:
