Simpson, since he took over the company in April. Mr.Simpson was unavailable for comment.
Questions 74 through 76 refer to the following announcement
(M) The office has always been a place to get ahead. Unfortunately, it's also a place where a lot of
resources are being wasted. Take a look around the next time you're at work. Notice how many lights are
left on after people leave. See how much paper is wasted, how much water is being wasted in the restrooms
Here are a few simple ways you can produce less waste at work: use both sides of the paper when writing
a memo, use old copy paper to write notes, turn off your light when you leave, set up a recycling bin
for cans and bottles and don't let the faucet run. This message is brought to you by 43 environmental groups

Questions 92 through 94 refer to the following recording
(W) Hi, Everett. This is Marina.I've spoken to the production team about the quality control issue and
they have agreed to set up a meeting on Friday to discuss it with the union. We're expecting a few
problems because it will affect working hours. In order to improve quality, we'll need to introduce
further checks and these will cut into production time, so it will be harder to maintain current levels
of productivity. The union might demand extra payment, and although we hope to avoid that, we are ready
for negotiations if it comes to that. An alternative might be to hire one or two extra workers but
frankly that is probably going to be more costly in the long run what with pension and health insurance
premiums. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know what is going on. Talk to you later.
Questions 95 through 97 refer to the following talk.
(M) Thank you everyone for coming to this last-minute meeting. I'm sorry to have to drag you away from
your work but something has come up, and I need to let you know about it without delay. As you know,
last week the health and safety inspectors came to give the factory its annual inspection. This is a
routine matter, and we have always passed with flying colors so no one was worried. However, it turns
out that the safety mechanisms on three of our cutting machines are faulty. Obviously, this is of great
concern and we have no choice but to stop production until these mechanisms have been repaired and have
passed a second inspection. We will be closing the factory for at least seven days, but you will all
receive full pay. The closure will take effect immediately.
Questions 98 through 100 refer to the following advertisement.
