(Question)
Read the following conversation and answer the question. M: Can we make you an offer? We would like to run the campaign for four extra weeks. W: Well, can we summarize the problem from my point of view? First of all, the campaign was late. It missed two important trade affairs. The ads also did not appear into key magazines. As a result, the campaign failed. Do you accept that summary of what happened? M: Well, the delay wasn't entirely our fault. You did in fact make late changes to the specifications of the advertisements. W: Uh, actually, you were late with the initial proposals so you have very little time and in fact, we only asked for small changes. M: Well whatever, can we repeat our offer to run the campaign for 4 extra weeks? W: That's not really the point. The campaign missed two key trade affairs. Because of this, we are asking you either to repeat the campaign next year for free, or we only pay 50% of the fee for this year. M: Could we suggest a 20% reduction to the fee together with the four week sustention to the campaign. W: We are not happy. We lost business. M: I think we both made mistakes. The responsibility is on both sides. W: Ok, let's suggest a new solution. How about a 40% cut in fee, or a free repeat campaign? M: Well, let's take a break, we're not getting very far. Perhaps we should think about this. Question: What does the woman propose as a solution to the problem? - Extend the campaign to next year. - Cut the fee by half for this year. - Run another four-week campaign.
(Answer)
Cut the fee by half for this year.

Ques: Read the following conversation and answer the question. M: Dear audiences, today we'll talk about divorce and its effect on children. Our guest is Jennifer Benzes. Thank you for coming, Jennifer. Do you mind saying something about your divorce? W: No. I got divorced years ago. Even worse, I got divorced when I had small children. M: Have you thought of the effect divorce may have on your children? Their needs can be forgotten as parents are struggling to re-establish their lives. W: Of course, we have. We are definitely more aware of the impact on children. After all we are not famous people who trade spouses like shoes. For most of us divorce is not entered into lightly. We all suffer. Anyway, we try to comfort our children. M: How? W: We tell them we love them and will always do. M: You haven't thought of saving the marriage? W: Yes, we have. We would do anything to spare our children pain. But you know, fixing a marriage is not like changing a tire. Family conflicts may take hold like a cancer.

Parents quarrelling and fighting all day may do more harm to their children. M: What do you want society to do for you? W: Understand us, not curse us. More importantly, they should help us share the loss and build a better future. Question: What does the woman think of fixing a marriage? - Every means should be tried before some marriages are fixed. - Some marriages can never be fixed. - A fixed marriage is not easily broken any more.

Ques: Read the following conversation and answer the question. W: I don't understand how the inventor earns money from the invention. After all, anyone can copy and sell it. Really, what is a patent? A piece of paper? A philosophy? You can't see it. M: I am glad you asked that. Actually when an inventor has a patent, it's enforceable by the laws in the country where the inventor developed the invention. If anyone makes and sells the product then the inventor can take them to civil court. W: What can the inventor expect to receive if he sues and wins? M: Well, there are different things the court could do, but there's no guarantee. There's a good chance the court could award him compensation and orders to stop the manufacture and sale of goods. It may well be that the goods would be ordered to be destroyed. W: Can the other person being sued do anything to help themselves? M: That's the beauty of the whole thing. Ignorance of the law doesn't count, I'm afraid. However, the other person can counter-sue pretending that they were actually the original inventor. W: You said the inventor is protected by the laws of the country. Is everything equal? Do all countries have the same law? M: No, they're not all equal. You're right. It's only in theory. It is being worked on. The World Trade Organization has developed an agreement, Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights, which makes sure that the patent is valid for 20 years. W: That doesn't make sense. Twenty years is a long time. M: Actually, it does. It's believed that inventors make and sell goods faster after they register the patent because there's a 20-year limitation on the patent. On the other hand, other inventors can use the information the inventor disclosed when the product was registered. Giving the information is all part of the deal. W: Cool. Question: Why can the woman hardly understand that an inventor earns money from the invention? - Piracy is an easy thing to commit. - Invention usually needs heavy cost. - Patent is useful but not practical.
Ans:
Piracy is an easy thing to commit.
