23、r questions 9 to 13, choose from the list A to F what each speaker says. Use the letters only once. There is one extra letter which you do not need to use. Speaker 1: Not actually. Even when I am writing advertising copy, I am writing for myself, in a sense that I derive pleasure for making a well-c
24、rafted sentence or clearly stating a thought. But there wouldnt be much point in writing if someone else isnt going to read it. So the readers view comes into play pretty fast. Speaker 2: I never write for the reader even when I am writing how-to articles. I write in a manner that I wouldnt want to
25、be instructed. The way I see it is that I am my own biggest critic. If I can write for myself and be happy with it, I have satisfied the only critic that I have to live with. Nothing else matters. Speaker 3: For the most part, I write for myself because I dont know what readers will come my way and
26、what they might be interested in. I just write about what I think is interesting in a style I am comfortable with, and then hope for a readership that likes both. Actually I hope for any readership. Speaker 4: Definitely for myself. As I dont like reading nearly as much as writing, so I wouldnt have
27、 a clue how to please my readers. The readers come into play when I consider if I will offend people by saying this or that, or if the possible offence is worth the idea or thought I put out there. Speaker 5: When it comes to blogging, there is no reason why they have to be mutually exclusive. Other
28、 types of writing need to be more targeted. For marketing materials and ad copy, the reader must be foremost. Journaling is for oneself. And I doubt fiction can be successful unless the reader is foremost in the writers mind. That is the end of Part 2. You now have 20 seconds to copy your answers on

30、 your answers on the Answer Sheet. Inflation It is a matter of common observation that although incomes keep going up over the years, we never seem to become much better off! Prices are rising continuously. This condition is termed one of inflation, the money supply is becoming inflated so that each
31、 unit of it becomes less valuable. We have grown accustomed in recent years to higher and higher and higher rates of inflation. What could be bought ten years ago for one dollar now costs well over two dollars? Present indications are that this rate of inflation is tending to rise rather than to fal
32、l. If in the real world our money incomes go up at the same rate as prices one might think that inflation does not matter. But it does. When money is losing value it lacks one of the qualities of a good money-stability of value. It is no longer acceptable as a store of value; and it becomes an unsui
33、table standard of deferred payments. Nobody wants to hold a wasting asset, so people try to get rid of money as quickly as possible.

Food is cheap, plentiful, and tasty. All those readily available nutrients should make us a strong, healthy people.
36、 But for an increasing share of U.S. adults, life in the land of plenty is making them plenty fat. The percent of adults aged 20 to 74 who are obese based on their body mass index increased from 24 percent in the 1960s to 33 percent in 1988-91. By 1994, the share of all adults aged 20 and older who
37、are overweight climbed further, to 35 percent. Applying that rate to the adult population yields a total of 65 million U.S. adults aged 20 or older who were overweight in 1988-94. We dont get to blame the aging population, either. Overweight has become more prevalent among all age groups, not just t

Overweight people create marke
39、ts for large-sized clothing and weight-loss products and services. But Americans seem to be losing interest in weight-loss diets.
