OG里的原文蓝色，原jj用黑色。

 

128. The Following Appeared in a memorandum from the owner of Carlo’s Clothing to the staff:

 

“Since Disc Depot, the music store on the next block, began a new radio advertising campaign last year, its business has grown dramatically, as evidenced by the large increase in foot traffic into the store. While the Disc Depot’s owners have apparently become wealthy enough to retire, profits at Carlo’s Clothing have remained stagnant for the past three years. In order to boost our sales and profits, we should therefore switch from newspaper advertising to frequent radio advertisements like those for Disc Depot.”

 

(原jj: Disc Depot, a local music store has increased foot traffic into the store since it started radio advertising. The owners of Disc Depot are wealthy enough to retire. However, Carlo's Clothing's profits have been staganant for the past three years. Therefore Carlo's Clothing should switch from newspaper advertising to radio advertisement.)

 

97. The following appeared as part of an article in the local newspaper:

"Our factory in Cookville is our most advanced and efficient. It is capable of producing ten drill bits for each of production costs, whereas none of our other factories can produce more than seven drill bits per dollar of production costs. Therefore, we can reduce our overall drill bit production by devoting the Cookville factory entirely to drill bit production. Since reducing the production costs of individual machine parts is the only way to achieve our larger goal of reducing our overall production costs, dedicating the Cookville factory entirely to drill bit production and shifting all other machine part machine to our other factories will help us to attain that larger goal."

 

L钢琴厂：L钢琴厂生产高端手工钢琴，但近几年啦营业额下降了。但A钢琴厂这几年来推出的塑料电子钢琴卖的很好，因此我们应该引进新的塑料电子钢琴流水线。由于消费者对我们公司的品牌非常的熟悉，我们引进后一定会看到销售额急剧的提升。

貌似没有找到啊！讲一个高档连锁商店利润下降，所以要裁员，为了防止裁员损害其形象，经过调查（调查可疑），他们绝定在每个场所开一家咖啡店，以此增加收入

A3. 钢琴公司 从高档钢琴转做便宜的电子琴

The following appeared in a memorandum from the development director of the Largo Piano Company.

“The Largo Piano Company has long been known for producing carefully handcrafted, expensive pianos used by leading concert pianists. During the past few years, however, our revenues have declined; meanwhile, the Allegro Musical Instrument Company introduced a line of inexpensive digital pianos and then saw its revenues increase. In order to increase Largo’s sales and in fact outsell Allegro, we should introduce a line of digital pianos in a variety of price ranges. Our digital pianos would be likely to find instant acceptance with customers, since they would be associated with the prestigious Largo name.”

服装老板建议做电台广告

The following appeared in a memorandum from the owner of Carlo’s Clothing to the staff.

 

“Since Disc Depot, the music store on the next block, began a new radio advertising campaign last year, its business has grown dramatically, as evidenced by the large increase in foot traffic into the store. While the Disc Depot’s owners have apparently become wealthy enough to retire, profits at Carlo’s Clothing have remained stagnant for the past three years. In order to boost our sales and profits, we should therefore switch from newspaper advertising to frequent radio advertisements like those for Disc Depot.”

 

Carlo's服饰老板给员工的备忘录：

由于Disc Depot，相邻街区的音像店从去年开始新的电台广告，它的业务显著增长，从商店人流量的大量增加就可以看出。当Disc Depot的老板显然已经足够富有可以退休时，Carlo's服饰的利润3年来一直停滞不变。为了促进我们的销售和利润，我们应该像DiscDepot一样从报纸广告转向经常的电台广告.

44. The following is part of a business plan created by the management of the Megamart grocery store.

“Our total sales have increased this year by 20 percent since we added a pharmacy section to our grocery store. Clearly, the customer’s main concern is the convenience afforded by one-stop shopping. The surest way to increase our profits over the next couple of years, therefore, is to add a clothing department along with an automotive supplies and repair shop. We should also plan to continue adding new departments and services, such as a restaurant and a garden shop, in subsequent years. Being the only store in the area that offers such a range of services will give us a competitive advantage over other local stores.”

Megamart杂货店的管理层的商务计划：
由于我们在杂货店内加了药剂部分，今年我们的总体销售额增加了20%。显然，顾客主要关注的是一次性购物的便利性。在今后两年内提高我们的利润的最佳方法是增加一个成衣部门和一个汽车配件和维修商店。我们同时也应该在最后的纪念中继续增加新的部门和服务，比如餐馆，园艺商店。成为本地唯一的提供如此广泛服务的商店将给我们带来超越其他商店的竞争优势。

8. University VS Other kind of hospitals

 

AA：university hospitals  vs other kind of hospitals
       1.学校的医院fewer doctor, lower success rate, less profit and payment
       2.many doctors in university hospitals divides their time into teaching, researching and caring the patients.
      therefor, UHs have a lower quality of care than other kind of hospitals

 

9. Take Heart Fitness Center的商业计划

 

108. The following appeared as part of a business plan created by the management of the Take Heart Fitness Center.
“After opening the new swimming pool early last summer, Take Heart saw a 12 percent increase in the use of the center by members. Therefore, in order to increase the number of our members and thus our revenues, which depend on membership fees, we should continue to add new recreational facilities in subsequent years: for example, a multipurpose game room, a tennis court, and a miniature golf course. Being the only center in the area offering this range of activities would give us a competitive advantage in the health and recreation market.”

 

10. Cumquat Cafe 迁址是正确的

 

The following appeared as part of an article in the business section of a local newspaper: 

“The owners of the Cumquat Café evidently made a good business decision in moving to a new location, as can be 

seen from the fact that the Café will soon celebrate its second anniversary there. Moreover, it appears that businesses 

are not likely to succeed at the old location: since the Café’s move, three different businesses—a tanning salon, an 

antique emporium, and a pet-grooming shop—have occupied its former spot.” 

 

11. 公司转行

 

AA的题目是一个公司，原来在矿业行业，目前由于此行业demand下降，不景气，准备转为a new growth strategy,到科技行业，引用了许多科技行业今年盈利的证据。

 

12. centralization and profitability

 

AA2 centralization and profitability.

 

13. 商场 中年消费者

 

以下文字摘自一家金融杂志的观点栏目：

平均而言，中年消费者的零售商品消费额中有39%都花在了百货商店的商品和服务上，而对于年轻消费者而言这一比例仅仅为25%。由于在下一个十年内中年消费者的人数将显著增加，因此百货商店的商品零售额在此期间有望得以大幅增长。另外，为了更好的把握这个趋势，这些百货商店应该开始准备更多的用于吸引中年消费者的商品来取代那些吸引年轻消费者的商品。

 

14. Cereal

 

AA：讲公司有一种Cereal产品叫Breakfast Crunch，含有比市面上别的Cereal多20%的vitamine k，而且经过调查Breakfast Crunch的regular consumer里面，有70%反映同其他Cereal相比，他们prefer Breakfast Crunch的口味。然而Breakfast Crunch的销售情况却并不好，所以the author下结论说，他们应该spread word on the two figures, 同时改变产品的包装，更多的展示出他们产品的这两个特点。

New 1. Greentree Grocers
    

Greentree Grocers has been experiencing high sales volume but decreasing profit margin. Its customers are wealthy people looking for gourmet food and luxury shopping experience, so it must cut costs without hurting the customers' shopping experience. So it plans to layoff 10 employees per store and eliminate expensive displays and free samples. In addition, it will partner with XX Cafe to have a coffee shop in each store. This is supported by a recent survey that the Grocers and the Cafe attract similar types of customers. The conclusion is that Greentree Grocers will experience high sales volume as well as high profit margin
