A: I've come about your offer for bristles.
B: We have the offer ready for you. Let me see... Here it is. 100 cases of Tsingtao Bristles, 57mm, at... pounds sterling per kilogram, CIF European Main Ports, for shipment in June, 2009. The offer is valid for three days.
A: Why, your price has soared.It's almost 25 % higher than last year's. It would be impossible for us to push any sales at such a price.
B: I'm a little surprised to hear you say that. You know very well that market for bristles has gone up a great deal in recent months. The price we offer compares favourably with quotations you can get elsewhere.
A: I'm afraid I can't agree with you there. I must point out that your price is higher than some of the quotations we have received from other sources.
B: But you must take the quality into consideration. Everyone in the trade knows that China's bristles are of superior quality to those from other countries.
A: I agree that yours are of better quality. But there's competition from synthetic products, too. You can't ignore that prices for synthetic bristles haven't changed much over the years.
B: There's practically no substitute for bristles for certain uses. That's why demand for natural bristles keeps rising in spite of cheaper synthetic ones. To be frank with you, if it were not for the long-standing relationship between us, we would hardly be willing to make you a firm offer at this price.
A: Well, we'll have a lot of difficulties in persuading our clients to buy at this price. But I'll have to try, I suppose.

调) the long hours, bad weather, low life expectancy and high price of many goods. In a study of ten of the largest European countries, Britain, which was considered a popular country to live in, now comes last followed by Ireland, with France and Spain topping the table. Though British families enjoy the highest income in Europe, they still have to fight with a high cost of living, with fuel, food and alcohol all costing more than the European average. With the high price of petrol, the UK is the second most expensive country in Europe. However, diesel (柴油) is more expensive in the UK than anywhere else in Europe. The report by the websiteuSwitchanalyses 10 European countries against 17 different benchmarks(基准点), from the price of gas, electricity, fuel, food and drink to the money each country spends on education, health to working conditions and the weather. The top three countries are France, Spain and Denmark, with Sweden, Ireland and Britain coming eighth, ninth and tenth respectively. The study comes less than a week after the United Nations moved Britain out of the top 20 list of mostdesirablecountries to live in for the first time. Although France and Germany were at the beginning hit hard by the global financial crisis, both have officially got out of the trouble, while Britain has yet to prove this has happened. Later this week, despite (尽管) signs of recovery in the housing market and rising sales, unemployment is still expected to have climbed to above 2.5 million for the first time since 1994. 小题1:Which country has the best quality of life in Europe according to the report?

"I guess it helps,' she says wryly(表情冷漠地)."You know, you go home and you try on a new mascara, and I guess a male CEO can't do that." She's joking, of course, but there's some truth to what she says.
Glamorous, poised and always impeccably (无瑕疵的) dressed, Jung knows what women want and how to sell it to them.That’s what has made her one of the most successful CEOs----male or female----in recent years.And that’s what placed her at number four in the ranking of the 50 Most Powerful Women in Business, an annual survey by “Fortune.” The top on the list is Carly Fiorina, chairman and CEO of Hewlett-Pachard Company, a US computer hardware company.The oldest child of Chinese immigrants, Junggrew up speaking both English and Mandarin Chinese.She received a BA in English literature from Princeton University in 1979.After graduation, Jung joined themanagement trainee program at Bloomingdale’s (a world-renowned department store).She later joined I.Magnin (the premiere retail (零售) house in the US), in San Francisco, becoming senior vice president and general merchandise manager.In 1993 Jung became a consultant (顾问) for Avon, famous for selling beauty products door to door through sales representatives known as “Avon Ladies”.When Jung, now 43, took over Avon in November 1999, the company was in deep trouble.During the greatest economic boom in history, its stock was crumbling (崩溃).As fewer women wanted to go out onto the streets selling Avon products, its sales decreased.But Jung surprised a lot of people.Over the past 20 months she has overhauled (检查) nearly everything about the way Avon does business: How it advertises, manufactures, packages, and even how it sells its products.Most surprising, she has done it not by abandoning the seemingly outdated Avon Lady, but by reviving (使再流行) her.Under Jung, more Avon Ladies are signing up than ever before.6 Since Jung joined Avon, sales have risen by 30 per cent, profits by 40 per cent and the stock price has dramatically improved.And now, Avon is the second largest firm in the US headed by a woman, after Hewlett-Packard.
