16、INI-LECTURE Directions: In this section you sill hear a mini-lecture. You will hear the lecture ONCE ONLY. While listening, take notes on the important points. Your notes will not be marked, but you will need them to complete a gap-filling task after the mini-lecture. When the lecture is over, you w

Use the blank sheet for note-taking. 0 【听力原文】 English Business Letter Format Good morning, everyone. I believe that some of English majors wanna work for foreign trade companie
18、s after graduation. So today I will focus on English business letter format which are very useful. When a business that has letterhead stationery writes an English business letter, the first page of the letter uses paper with the printed letterhead and(1)succeeding pages, if any, use matching qualit
19、y and color sheets without the letterhead. A business with very good quality printing might generate the letterhead graphic with an image embedded in a word processor document.(2)An individual normally wont use letterhead stationery and wont attempt to fake it. An attempt at letterhead that produces
20、 a tacky result or that conveys pompousness produces effects that you want to avoid. In an English business letter, everything that you “type“ should be in the same typeface and in the same size. You should use “formal English“ and you should very carefully check your grammar and spelling. You shoul
21、d arrange things neatly.(3)You should consider the appearance of the letter “ at arms length“ as well as close up use white space to produce an attractive sheet. In a conventional English business letter you should see these parts, in order top to bottom. The first part is return address. This item
22、is the postal address of the author of the letter. Each line of it is left justified either at a tab stop that puts the information toward the right side of the page or the left margin. Normally the return address is at the top of the page, but you can move it down a little to improve over-all appea
23、rance.(4)Do not put e-mail addresses here if you need to convey an e-mail address, do it in the body of the letter. The second part is the date of the letter. It is aligned with the return address.(5)Formerly there was never white space between the return address and the date, but some current style
24、s allow blank lines. The third item, inside address, duplicates what goes on the envelope. It has the formal name of the intended recipient of the letter and that persons postal address. Each line of the inside address is left justified at the left margin. No email addresses appear here. You can put
25、 blank lines between the date and the inside address to fill the page better and to improve the “arms length“ appearance. (6)Next comes the salutation. This item formally addresses the recipient. If the addressee is not a friend, you should write “Dear Mr. Brown“ or “Dear Mrs. Smith“ or “Dear Ms. Jo
26、nes“ or “Dear Mr. Greene“ or the like. A letter to a close associate might say “Dear Mike“ or “Dear Sally“. There is at least one line of white space between the inside address and the salutation. You can put a little more to improve the over-all appearance. The fifth part is the core of the letter
27、the body. The body is single spaced. Ordinarily the body contains more than one paragraph. Avoid both extremely short and very long paragraphs. (7)You can use either indented paragraphs in which the first line is indented more than the rest or block paragraphs in which all lines begin at the left ma
28、rgin. With block paragraphs you must leave extra white space between paragraphs one blank line or one “empty paragraph“ is often used, but you can also use Words extra space before or after paragraph option: the extra space should probably not exceed the size of an empty paragraph. With indented par
29、agraphs, extra space between paragraphs is common, but optional. Indented paragraphs should be avoided if the return address was aligned at the left margin. Special effects like bulleted lists and paragraphs whose left and right edges are both indented should be used very sparingly avoid them as muc
30、h as you can.(8)Likewise, consider whether having your paragraphs fully justified, i. e. both left and right edges squared off, will make the letter look too much like a form letter or piece of junk mail. What comes sixth is the closing. This item is something like “Yours truly,“ or “Sincerely“. It
31、is normally vertically aligned with the return address. Next item is typed name of letter author, which is aligned with the return address, date, and closing. Leave enough white space above it for a signature. If you have a job title and this letter is being written as part of that job, it is common
32、 to type the job title directly below the typed name. An individual writing a letter normally doesnt include a job-title line. (9)Finally, if you are supplying copies to people other than the addressee, it is common to put a “cc“ list at the bottom left of the last page “cc“ originally stood for “ca
33、rbon copy“ to. It is assumed that you will keep a copy of the letter. When the letter is prepared by a professional typist, it is common for the initials of the typist to be supplied at her bottom. If there are enclosures, that fact is often noted there too. An individual writing a letter usually om
34、its these items. Furthermore, your instructor may have told you not to use a template. Do what your instructor told you.(10)Many of MS-Words templates appear to have been created more to show off weird or fancy effects that Word can do than to produce a well-done product useful to the ordinary user.
35、 Some of Words templates encourage you to produce a tacky document resist the temptation. If youre using Word 97, our friend “ Office Bob“ may pop up when you type the letters salutation. If your instructor told you not to use templates, decline “Office Bobs offer of help“. OK, todays lecture is ove
36、r. I hope it will enable you to know exactly how to write a business letter. Next lecture will be held on Monday. See you then. 【知识模块】 听力 1 【正确答案】 matching similar quality 【试题解析】 本题考查重要细节。根据句 (1)可知，第一页之后的部分用质量和颜色与之匹配的信纸，故答案为 matching similarquality。 【知识模块】 听力 2 【正确答案】 avoid 【试题解析】 本题考查重要细节。根据句 (2)可知

Just because you are staying at a hotel does not mean your exercise routine has to suffer although too often it probably does.
42、(1 - 1)Womens Healths contributing editor Lisa Drayer says there are many hotel chains catering to your every workout need. Lisa, good morning! Nice to see you. W: Good morning, nice to see you. M:(1 - 2)So this is a big thing for hotels right now. It is a growing trend. Why do you think that is? W:
43、 Well, you know, consumers have become increasingly health-conscious, so when we travel, we are looking for a hotel that not only has a comfortable bed and a nice lobby, but also one that will allow us to maintain our fitness routine while we are on the road. So because of this trend, Womens Health
44、took a look at some of the major hotel chains throughout the country, including Fairmont, Candlewood Suites, Hyatt, Hilton, Marriott and Westin, and what we found was that all these hotel chains had either improved their fitness offerings, or they had implemented brand-new ones. M: And you found tha
45、t a lot of their clients are looking for an outlet when they are on the road and dont want their routines to suffer. W: Absolutely not, especially because many of us travel a lot of the time. M: Yeah, increasingly. Alright, lets take a look at some of those offerings. We are going to begin with Hyat
46、t, and you really like the amenities from Hyatt, so why is that? W: Right. Hyatt is definitely one of the leaders in terms of their fitness offerings.(2 - 1)They now offer StayFit at Hyatt Gyms, open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. So basically you can work out any time a day.(2 - 2)And theyve also r
47、ecently partnered with Yoga Away, so they actually offer in-room yoga videos. In fact, even during their bedtime turndown service, they will give the guest a card with specific breathing instructions, and they will also guide the guest to a bedtime yoga video. So lots of yoga videos are available. M
48、: So no chop on the pillow. This is yoga. There is an alternative choice. W: Thats right. This is your bedtime yoga workout, and its free of charge.(2-3)The hotel will also provide yoga mats and balls, and a couple of other perks as well. Hyatt will also offer workout apparel delivered to your room
49、in under an hour, available for purchase. M: So no excuses for living at home. W: Thats right.(2-4)And you know, some guests will even get a wrist-top GPS monitor, so runners can easily navigate back to the hotel, also monitor heart rate, distance and calories burned. M: OK, weve got a lot to get to, so lets move past Hyatt and go on to Westin really quickly. Wha
