10、tHarrison Fontentot, Public RelationsFROM: Mike GonzalezSUBJECT: Three Ways to Increase Ramcos Community InvolvementDATE: March 5, 2019At our planning session in early February, our division managers stressed the need to generate favourable publicity for our new Ramco facility in Mayfield. Knowing t
11、hat such publicity will highlight Ramcos visibility in Mayfield, I think the companys image might be enhanced in the following three ways.CREATE A SCHOLARSHIP FUNDRamco would receive favourable publicity by creating a scholarship at Mayfield Community College for any student interested in a career i
12、n technology. A one-year scholarship would cost $6,800. The scholarship could be awarded by a committee composed of Ramco executives. Such a scholarship would emphasize Ramcos enthusiastic support for the latest technical education at a local college.OFFER SITE TOURSGuided tours of the Mayfield faci
13、lity would introduce the community to Ramcos innovative technology. These tours might be organized for academic, community, and civic groups. Individuals would see the care we take in protecting the environment in our production and equipment choices and the speed with which we ship our products. Of
14、 special interest to visitors would be Ramcos use of industrial robots working alongside our employees. Since these tours would be scheduled in advance, they should not conflict with our production schedules.PROVIDE GUEST SPEAKERSMany of our employees would be excellent guest speakers at civic and e
15、ducational meetings in the Mayfield area. Possible topics include the advances Ramco has made in designing and engineering and how these advances have helped consumers and the local economy.Thanks for giving me your comments as soon as possible. If we are going to put one or more of these suggestion
16、s into practice before the facility opens in mid-April, well need to act before the end of the month.1.

A letter of proposal.C. A letter of recommendation.D. A letter of complaints.BSome plants get so hungry tha
19、t they eat flies, spiders, and even small frogs. Whats more amazing is that these plants occur naturally (in special environments) in every state. In fact, theyre found on every continent except Antarctica.Youve probably seen a Venus flytrap. Its often sold in museum gift stores, department stores,
20、and even supermarkets. A small plant, it grows 6 to 8 inches tall in a container. At the end of its stalks (茎) are specially modified leaves that act like traps. Inside each trap is a lining of tiny trigger hairs. When an insect lands on them, the trap suddenly shuts. Over the course of a week or so
21、, the plant feeds on its catch.The Venus flytrap is just one of more than 500 species of meat-eating plants, says Barry Meyers-Rice, the editor of the International carnivorous (食肉的) Plant Society s Newsletter. Note: Despite any science-fiction stories you might have read, no meat-eating plant does
22、any danger to humans.Dr. Meyers-Rice says a plant is meat-eating, only if it does all four of the following “attract, kill, digest, and absorb” some from of insects, including flies, butterflies, and moths. Meat-eating plants look and act like other green plants - well, most of the time.All green pl
23、ants make sugar through a process called photosynthesis (光合作用). Plants use the sugar to make food. What makes “meat-eating” plants different is their bug-catching leaves. They need insects for one reason: nitrogen. Nitrogen is a nutrient that they cant obtain any other way. While almost all green pl
24、ants on our planet get nitrogen from the soil, “meat-eating” plants cant. They live in places where nutrients are hard or almost impossible to get from the soil because of its acidity. So theyve come to rely on getting nitrogen from insects and small animals. In fact, nutrient-rich soil is poisonous
25、 to “meat-eating” plants. Never fertilize them! But dont worry, either, if they never seem to catch any insects. They can survive, but theyll grow very slowly.4. According to the passage, carnivorous plants _.A. only grow in wild fieldB. are rare to seeC. are as common as fliesD. cannot grow on Anta
26、rctica5. Venus flytrap preys on insects with _.A. its numerous long an thin stalksB. a container where it growsC. its insect-catching leavesD. the lining of tiny trigger hairs6.

Carnivorous plants cannot grow in acid soilB. Carnivorous plants can grow in nutrient-poor soilC. Carnivorous plants will die if they cannot c
28、atch any insectsD. Carnivorous plants can get nitrogen from nutrient-rich soilCWhen my mother died a few years ago，we looked through boxes in which she had lovingly stored her childrens lives. Handwritten report cards from grade schoo1. News cuttings about games. Postcards from summer camps. And so
29、many photos：birthdays，graduations，weddings and trips to wonderful places.After my fathers death，I found many handwritten pity letters from his friends. Rereading them once a year，I am transported back to the time I miss so much. Of course，I received many emails about Dad as well，but I wouldnt begin
30、to know how or where to find them. Besides，personal messages are more meaningful when presented in the hand of the sender.My kids，now in their 20s，have mostly digital keepsakes. Increasingly they rely on Facebook to store memories. Their letters from college，sent by email，are long gone. Many photos，
31、never printed，have disappeared. I really worry that for them.In Andrew Hoskinsnew book Digital Memory Studies，he concludes，“Despite the gradual disappearance of photographs，letters and other objects that are reminders of people and past experiences，their keeping is like holding on to those people an
32、d experiences. ”Digital items offer nothing of the kind.Mark B. McKinley explained that collecting physical memorabilia(值得纪念的事物)can serve as a means of control to bring out a comfort zone in ones life，calming fears and easing worries. Its no wonder that children are fond of collecting thingsits impo
33、rtant to their development.One mother says，“My Son collects pieces of broken stones. ”The kid might become a great geologist or a successful businessman. But will his mom print out a photo of that unique collection? Will his degree in geology be memorialized on paper，or will he be given a digital di

To offer direct support to the boy.C. To encourage readers to share their ideas.D. To show her worry about the los
37、s of collecting.DIs Paperless Office Really Paperless?A rising economy increased paper sales by 6 to 7 percent each year in the early to mid-1990s, and the convenience of desktop printing allowed office workers to indulge anything and everything. In 2004, Ms. Dunn, a communications supplies director
38、, said that plain white office paper would see less than a 4 percent growth rate, a primary reason for which is that some 47 percent of the workforce entered the job market after computers had already been introduced to offices.For office innovators, the dream of paperless office is an example of hi
39、gh-tech arrogance（傲慢）. Todays office service is overwhelmed By more newspapers than ever before. After decades of development, the American government can finally get rid of the madness on paper. In the past, the demand for paper has been far ahead of growth in the American economy, but the sales ha
40、ve slowed markedly over the past two to three years, despite the good economic conditions.“Old habits are hard to break,” says Ms. Dunn. “There are some functions that paper serves where a screen display doesnt work. Those functions are both its strength and its weakness.” Analysts attribute the dec
41、line to such factors as advances in digital databases and communication systems. Escaping our craving for paper, however, will be anything but an easy affair.“Were finally seeing a reduction in the amount of paper being used per worker in the workplace,” says John Maine, vice president of a paper ec
42、onomic consulting firm. “More information is being transmitted electronically, and an increasing number of people are satisfied that information exists only in electronic form without printing multiple backups.”To reduce paper use, some companies are working to combine digital and paper capabilities
43、. For example, Xerox is developing electronic paper: thin digital displays that respond to a stylus, like a pen on paper. Marks can be erased or saved digitally. Even with such technological advances, the increasing amounts of electronic data necessarily require more paper.“The information industry
44、today is composed of a thin paper crust surrounding an electronic core,” Mr. Saffo wrote. The growing paper crust is most noticeable, but the hidden electronic core is far larger and growing more rapidly. The result is that we are becoming paperless, but we hardly notice at all. “Thats one of the gr
45、eatest ironies of the information age,” Saffo says. “Its just common sense that the more you talk to someone by phone or computer, it inevitably leads to a face-to-face meeting. The best thing for the aviation industry was the Internet.”12. Which of the following statements is NOT a reason for the s
46、lowdown in American paper sales?A. Workforce with better computer skills.B. Slow growth of the U.S. economy.C. Changing patterns in paper use.D. Changing employment trends.13.
