Read the following conversation and answer the question. W: Tom, as the manager of a company selling green products, you are now quite a successful businessman. When did you know you wanted to have your own company? M: My family left Budapest in 1986 and settled in Canada where a lot of my friends' parents were highly successful businessmen. It seems so cool, so in high school, I started a web-designed company and learned a lot from that experience. W: How did you find the money for your present company then? M: We've raised 18 million dollars from about 50 people. We're finally making money. I own 6% of the company and all employees get their shares. W: By the way, what aspects of your life are green? M: I'm only mildly green. I do simple things and I'm a huge biker. I biked cross Canada. W: Do you think you have ever done anything wasteful? M: We're always doing something wrong, but then, that will allow us to learn and grow. When I first started out, we made all the products ourselves, but that was a mistake. Now we work with other companies. We provide the materials, the product development and the design. They make the products then.

Question: Read the following conversation and answer the question. Woman: What are you reading, Bill? Man: It's this week New Scientist. Why? Woman: I was just wondering. It looks interesting.

It usually has articles or stories about current affairs about science, as well as papers about new development in research. I'm reading about new telephone that allows you to see the person you are speaking to as well as see him. Woman: Oh, I heard about it. Is it on the market yet? Can I buy one? Man: No. Not this one. But the company has made other models to try on business. This one is special because its color and image is moving. Woman: Oh, that's interesting. Man: You see the first video phones. That's what they are called. They made in Japan. But they can only show still black and white image. So this video phone is much better than that. Mind you, I'm not sure I want one, would you?
