JOHN: Have you had a chance to look over the contract?
LORRIE: Yes.I've read it carefully.
JOHN: And do you have any questions?
LORRIE: No.But the contract stipulates that I will teach 22 hours a week.Will you have that many classes for me right away?
JOHN: No, probably not.For the first two weeks you may teach 10 or 15 hours.
LORRIE : But my salary will be 1 100 dollars a month.Will you pay me that much for the first month? Because, I mean, I won't be working so many hours.
JOHN: I understand.That's why I didn't write the date on the contract.For the first two weeks, we will pay you according to the hours you teach.When you have 22 hours of classes, then the contract will take effect.Is that alright with you?
LORRIE: Oh, so I don't sign the contract today.Is that right?
JOHN: I don't want you to misunderstand, Miss Briggs.We are very serious about hiring you.We want you to teach for us.We usually do contracts this way because it is more convenient.
LORRIE: I can accept that.
JOHN: Good.And your benefits will begin immediately.
LORRIE: Even my health insurance?
JOHN: Yes.We will apply for your health insurance tomorrow.And your free membership in the club starts today if you like.
LORRIE: I have a few questions about the free membership.
JOHN: What would you like to know?
LORRIE : Is my membership the same as paying club members? I mean, can I get discounts at club hotels?
JOHN: Absolutely.The only difference is in the restaurant and bar vouchers.
LORRIE: What are bar vouchers?
JOHN: Paying club members get around 300 dollars a year in restaurant vouchers.The vouchers can be used in the restaurant or the lounge.But we don't offer vouchers to employees.
LORRIE: But according to the contract, employees get a discount in the restaurant.
JOHN: That's fight.So in a way, it is cheaper for you than for the members.You get more benefits than they do.
LORRIE: So, for now, you want me to keep a copy of the contract.But we won't sign it yet.Is that right?
JOHN: Yes.I've prepared the contract just so that you understand everything, so that you understand the terms.
LORRIE: I understand.And according to the terms on the contract, I am happy to accept this job.I look forward to it.
JOHN: I'm very pleased.We look forward to having you here, Miss Briggs.

Dialogue : Beautiful Packing
John: Glad to see you again, Sherman.
Sherman: Hi, glad to see you too.
John: Please, sit down.Would you like to try our new tea?
Sherman: Great! The main purpose of my visit today is to place another order of your Longjing tea.Actually, we will place regular orders from now.
John: Oh, it is a good news for us.I have the confidence that our tea won't make you disappointed.
Sherman: That is true.But before that, I'd like to talk something about the packing of Longjing tea.
John: Did you find any problems with the packing?
Sherman: No.My meaning is to improve the packing of your Longjing tea.There is no doubt that the quality of your tea is good.It is the packing that often gives the first impression on customers rather than the products themselves so we believe the packing is as important as the quality of the products themselves.
John: I agree with you.But could you be in details?
Sherman: Sure.Firstly, we believe the out-look of the package should attract customer.A beautiful packing is surely a great help in pushing sales.To be honest, your packing is not attractive enough to buyers.
John: Do you mean the color of the design should be more bright and eye-catching7
Sherman: Eye-catching with traditional Chinese style.You see, customers even can smell your culture before they open the box and drink the tea.As you know, one function of packing is to stimulate the buyer's desire to buy.
John: I'll pass your idea onto our designers and ask them to improve it.
Sherman: Thank you John.Secondly, if it is possible, we would like to advise you to improve your methods of packing.
John: Our packing is typical tin for tea.Any questions about this method of packing?
Sherman: I am thinking about how to let your packing speak for the good quality of the tea itself.Can we find some other packing ways to show off the appealing green and sl~ape of the tea?
John: We can leave an open window on packing.
Sherman: You get the point.
John: Thanks for your suggestion.

During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you ' re "hot". That's true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the morning. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this it so, but it leads to such familiar monologues(自言自语) as; "Get up, John ! You will be late for work again! "The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.
You can't change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you' re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract (对抗) your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won't change your cycle, but you' ll get up steam (鼓起干劲) and work better at your low point.
Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.
If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably______.
A.he is a lazy person
B.he refuses to follow his own energy cycle
C.he is not sure when his energy is low
D.he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening
