It's certainly clear that winter is starting to take its grip on the continent. Berlin on Wednesday, mostly cloudy and very cold, and -2 degrees for your high. Brussels, Belgium, a little warmer at one degree, partly sunny. London, 5 degrees for your high, mostly cloudy throughout the day. In Paris, your high temperature is 0 degrees on Wednesday, partly cloudy as well. Rome, 8 degrees for your high, with periods of clouds and sunshine. And Vienna, Austria, -2 degrees on Wednesday, cloudy and of course cold. Athens, Greece, a little warmer at 10 degrees, periods of clouds and sunshine on Wednesday. Belgrade, Yugoslavia, 1 degree for your high, mostly cloudy. Istanbul, 5 degrees, and partly sunny. And Kiev, Ukraine, -7 degrees, and you can expect snow. Moscow, -9 degrees on Wednesday, also snowy. And in Prague, the Czech Republic, -4 degrees with snow flurries, so sounds like typical of weather for that area of the world. Let's look at what we have here in Washington D.C., no snow yet, but it will be coming.D.As 1998 ends and people look forward to the last year of the century, the World Almanac spoke with experts about what comes next. Almanac editorial director says the experts believe the next century will bring lots of changes."Warm, of course, that our climate is going to continue getting warmer. That's the subject, by the way, of another new article on the 1999 World Almanac. The greenhouse effect, exactly what causes it, and what steps to be taken to, um, perhaps, to alleviate global warmings. I've seenrecently that 1998 is going to go down as the warmest year ever on record. And so that's going to be a major issue of the next century, and possible tremendous consequences of the global warmings, whether it is rising sea levels affecting the coastal areas; changes in climate zones affecting what crops can be grown, and in what regions. This is potentially a very significant trend to be watched."E.Major ocean storms in the northern part of the world usually develop in late summer or autumn over waters near the equator. They are known by several different names. Scientists call these storms cyclones when they happen just north or south of the equator in the Indian Ocean. In the western Pacific Ocean or the China Sea, these storms are called typhoons. In the eastern Pacific and Atlantic Ocean, they are called hurricanes.Part II El EinoSatellite readings confirm that conditions are right for another El Nino, a cyclic weather pattern that affects the global climate."El Nino's normally show up about twice a decade and it lasts about 12 to 18 months, bringing warmer weather to parts of the earth. Some regions become wetter than usual, others drier. The El Nino, which began in 1991 has lingered through this year. Although several years might have been expected to pass before the next one, an American-French satellite observing the oceans has found a sign that El Nino may come back quicker than expected."'These kinds of things still happen.' This is Brig Jacker, an oceanographer of the US Naval Research Laboratory in Mississippi."'Every year is unpredictable. One year might be El Nino year, one year might not. Generally El Nino's come in four year cycles. But there's nothing to say that you can't have two El Nino years in a row.'"El Nino's begin with the decline of winds pulling cold water away from South America's west coast to around the equator. This allows warm water in the western Pacific Ocean to expand eastward toward the America's. At the same time, the clouds and rain over the warm water move eastward too. Radar aboard the American-French satellite detected the hint thatsuch water movement began in early August and reached South America two months later. It saw a ripple called a 'Calvin wave' moving slowly eastward. Such pulses sometimes give rise to El Nino conditions in the eastern equatorial Pacific."El Nino's can change the weather around the world, but how much depends on its strength.A strong one in 1982 and 1983 has been linked to droughts in Australia and Indonesia, rains and flooding in South America, and unseasonably warm weather in much of the United States. But even the mild El Nino that began in 1991 has caused trouble. It has been associated with devastating floods in the US southeast last year and in the US midwest this year. El Nino's are hard on the South American fishing industry. The warm waters prevent nutrients rich cold water from rising to the surface, causing fish stocks to become depletive. Mr. Jacker said a new El Nino apparently would be mild but he is not betting on it yet."The US Naval oceanographer says predictions are difficult because the strength of El Nino depends on how winds affect the 'Calvin wave' that has moved across the Pacific."Part III Lick ObservatoryIt’s about an hour’s drive from the outskirt s of San Jose, California, near the upper side of the state’s high-technology region known as “Silicon Valley”. As a visitor drives up the narrow winding road past red flowers, and eucalyptus trees, one of the first two seismographic stations in the world, it’s almost a surprise to glimpse the largest dome of Lick Observatory’s eight telescopes. Overlooking the world of computer age manufacturing are telescopes from the turn of the century which help shape our understanding of the universe.The huge d ome, housing Lick Observatory’s giant, one meter wide reflecting telescope, is one of the few instruments in motion this morning on Mount Hamilton. At the 1260-meter summit of Mount Hamilton is a small village of 55 permanent residents, some of them students in a one-room school house. But most at the research complex are visiting astronomers catching their first hours of sleep in an old dormitory after a night’s work at the telescopes. Reminton Stone, director of operations at Lick Observatory has worked at the top of Mount Hamilton for three decades. Now a part of the University of California, Lick Observatory got its name from a wealthy businessman who never studied astronomy as Mr. Stone explains: “And he came to San Francisco, just before the gold rush and he made a huge amount of money on real estate. When he died, he specified that some portion of his estate should be used to build the largest and most powerful telescope yet made and which was a 36 inch at that time. And at his own request he is buried at the base of the telescope. So this is a memorial to himself.”The telescope with its one-meter-diameter reflecting lens was the largest telescope in the world for seven years following its completion in 1888. And today, it’s still the second larg est telescope of its kind. Although the one meter reflecting telescope is still used for some research, it’s hard to adapt today’s electronic instruments to the old historic telescope. Now, it is used mostly as an educational tool for teachers and the thousands of visitors who come each year. While the other telescopes at Lick Observatory are connected to electronic imaging devices that allow the astronomers to view celestial objects on television screens, the 19th century telescope allows direct viewing wi th the human eye. It’s one of the few giant telescopes in the world that still requires some users to sit out in the cold under the dark sky and the dome. That brings a feeling of nostalgia to Reminton Stone.“I really do miss being able to see the s ky, and seeing these wonderful data appear in the computer screen is really nice, but it’s very divorced from the reality, from the universe. I miss a lot being in a dark place in these fields to look up to see the stars. We go out every now and then if we are working at..., we’re at the control room, we do go out to keep track of the skies, where the clouds are, and so forth, but one loses the romance and one gains greatly the efficiency. It’s a trade-off.”Astronomer Reminton Stone, who manages the Lick Observatory complex at the top of Mount Hamilton, California.Part IV More about the topic: The National Clim atic Data CenterMore and more people need to know about the weather. Anyone wanting information about past weather conditions can turn to a center supported by the United States government.The National Climatic Data Center reportedly has the world's largest active collection of weather information. The National Climatic Data Center or NCDC was formed in 1951. It was established as a record center for America's Department of Commerce. Its headquarters is in thesouthern city of Asheville, North Carolina.The NCDC collects weather records gathered by a number of weather observers and the United States government agencies. The Department of Defense, the National Weather Service and the coastguard are among those providing weather information. The center also collects weather records from around the world. Some information held by the NCDC is only a few hours old. Other records are a lot older. For example, the office has written weather observations made by early American diplomat Benjamin Franklin and by the third President of the United States Thomas Jefferson. Today modern scientific equipment including satellites, radar and solar radiation systems help people learn about the weather. Information collected by airplanes and ships also is used. The NCDC organizes this information and helps prepare it for publication and other uses. The center assists in the production of written records, weather maps and pictures. The information also is shared by computer, microfilm and telephone. The NCDC produces several publications about earth environment. One has monthly and yearly records about weather conditions in about 270 American cities. Another publication has monthly reports from 1 500 observation stations around the world. It also has information from about 800 upper air stations which measure weather conditions at all levels of the atmosphere. The National Climatic Data Center receives requests for information from all over the world. Last year the center reportedly had more than 900 000 requests from government officials, business owners, weather researchers and the general public.Part V Do you know…?Scientists say the weather event known as El Nino is ending. Scientific instruments have shown that the Pacific Ocean waters warmed by El Nino are becoming cooler. Many weather experts are expecting the change in ocean temperatures to lead to conditions known as La Nina. El Nino means the little boy in the Spanish language. La Nina means the little girl.La Nina develops when winds near the western coast of South America strengthen. This causes cold air to form near the Pacific coast of Peruand Ecuador. Unusually low water temperatures in the eastern Pacific Ocean are evidence of La Nina. Ocean surface temperatures there drop almost 4°C. La Nina is strongest during winter months in the northern part of the world. It usually lasts one to two years. La Nina's effects can be just as severe as those of El Nino.Recently weather experts met in Colorado to exchange their findings about La Nina. The National Center for Atmospheric Research organized the conference. The experts agreed that the colder Pacific Ocean waters might influence weather conditions around the world. La Nina could make some places drier than normal and others wetter. Some reports presented at the conference said Southeast Asia is likely to receive a lot of rain during the present La Nina, so could South America, Central America and Africa. The northwestern part of Canada and the United States could be wetter than normal. The studies found that the southern United States could be warmer and drier and more severe storms are possible in the western Atlantic Ocean.。

1Shopping and Banking OnlinePart I Getting readyB. Spot dictation. Fill in the banks with the words you hear.Tapescript:We have just two more days to “shop till you drop” till Christmas, and that typically means a lot of last minute shopping. And though buying with a mouse is still tiny compared to shopping with your feet online retailing is more popular than ever.Christmas shopping in the street is great sometimes. But when you’ve just got to get a bunch of shopping done and you want to have something to send to a third-party location, it’s much better online.In the U.S., online shopping is predicted to be 30% ahead of last December, while mails can expect less than a 6% increase in sales. In Britain, Europe’s biggest e-tailing market, online gift-buying is expected to grow by 50%, with $8 billion worth of goods sold through the net in the November to January period.C. Listen to a news report. Supply the missing information.Part ⅡA. Main problems of online shopping●Long time waiting for delivery or even no delivery (about 8%) after ordering●No clear information about delivery charges● A danger that customers’ personal information would be sold to a third party (as manyas 87% of the sites)●No policy on returning goods (about 47% of the companies)●No confirmation of the order (about 35% of the sites ) and the dispatch (as many as87% of the sites)●No money back more than four months after returning goods (in two cases)B Now listen again. Complete the summary.Summary:The survey shows in spite of the convenience and choice offered by Net shopping there are still many obstacles that prevent consumers from shopping with complete trust. One of the biggest problems is to build consumers’ trust in buying online. It takes time for the Internet to become mature as a retail channel when it gives support to trust relationships with guarantees of payment and service.Part ⅢBanking at homeA. Outline1.

Why can “online banking” compete of customers“Online banking”offers convenience which appeals to the kind of customer banks want to keep.3. What kind of customers do banks want to keepBanks most want to keep people who are young, well-educated, and have good incomes.Part ⅣB. Now listen to an interview discussing English and American good customer services.Part ⅤTapescript:“Everybody loves a bargain,”this is a common American saying. A bargain is something you buy for less than its true value. It is something you might not buy if it costs more. One person’s useless ugly object can be another person’s bargain. So many Americans put it outside with a “for sale” sign on it and they have a yard sale.Just about anything can be sold a yard sale: clothing, cooking equipment, old toys, tools, books and chairs, even objects you think are extremely ugly or useless. You may have an electric light shaped like a fish. You may greatly dislike its looks, but it may be beautiful to someone else. Usually the seller puts a price on each object. But the price can almost always be negotiated. The price of a table, for example, might be marked ＄10. But the seller may accept 8. If the table has not been sold by the end of the day, the seller probably will take much less.Some people go to yard sales because it is part of their job. They earn their livings by buying old things at low prices then selling them at higher prices. Many others, however, go to yard sales just to have fun. They say it is like going on a treasure hunt. Sometimes they really do find the treasure.Ned Jaudere did. The Boston Globe newspaper says Mr. Jaudere has been collecting native American Indian objects since he was a young man. Last year, he stopped at a yard sale in the northeastern city of Worcester, Massachusetts. He paid $125 for what everyonethought was an old wooden club. Mr. Jaudere thought it was something else. Two days later, he confirmed that the club had been used by the Wampanoag Indian leader known as King Philip. King Philip used it during his war with the white settlers at eastern Massachustetts in 1675. The historic weapon had been stolen from a museum in 1970 and had been missing ever since. Mr. Jaudere learnt the war club was valued at about $150000 but he did not sell it or keep it. Mr. Jaudere returned the club to the museum near Boston, Massachusetts from which it was stolen.Questions:1.Which of the following is a common American saying2.What can be sold at a yard sale3.Why do people go to a yard sale4.When was the old wooden club stolen5.What was the real value of the club6.Why was the club at a great value2Hotel or B&BPart ⅠGetting ready1.English breakfast is hot food: fried egg, fired bacon, porridge, etc.2.Continental breakfast consists of coffee, tea, rolls, jam and honey—nothing cooked.3.Half-board includes dinner, bed and breakfast.4.Full-board is the room plus all meals.5.V AT stands for Value Added Tax.Part ⅡA touch of home1.

Now we operate in more than 100 other countries.Junior Achievement is the world’s oldest, largest, and fastest growing economic educational organization. It began in 1919 in Springfield, Massachusetts. The group’s first program was for high school students after school hours. Its goal was to show young people how businesses are organized and operated. The students learned by forming their own companies. Local business people advised them.First, the students developed a product. Then they sold shares in their company. They used this money to buy the materials needed to make the product. They produced the product and sold it. Finally they returned the profits to the people who owned shares in the company. The Junior Achievement “Company Program” was very successful. It continues to teach young people about American business by helping the operate their own companies.In 1974, Junior Achievement began teaching students in their classrooms aboutbusiness. Today, there are programs for students of all ages from 5 to 18. More than 2700000 American students are involves in Junior Achievement. They are taught by more than 85000 business advisors who are not paid.Junior Achievement has programs for young school children ages 5 through 11. V olunteer business advisors teach the main rules of successful businesses. They teach how businesses are organized. They teach how products are made and sold. They also teach about the American economy, the system of money, industry and trade. And they teach students how the economy affects their families and their communities.Junior Achievement has programs for middle school students ages 12 to 14. A volunteer business expert teaches the students once a week. One program is called “Project Business”. It is about economic theories. Students learn about supply and demand. They learn about corporations. And they learn about world trade.Another Junior Achievement program for 12 to 14-year-old students is called “the Economics of Staying in School”. It is for students who may be thinking about leaving before completing high school. These students learn the importance of continuing their education. First they play a game. The game shows what kinds of jobs people have. It shows how much education is needed for each job. And it shows how much money each job pays. The students learn that workers with more education get better jobs and earn more money. Then the students learn how much money they need to buy the things they want. They realize that they probably will not earn enough money if they do not finish high school.7Fame and FortunePart ⅠB.

He began to think that the computer would someday become a valuable tool that could be used in every office and home. Bill Gates returned to Seattle where he established the Microsoft Company in 1975. It employed only three workers. Microsoft developed computer software for established American companies, like General Electric and Citibank. Soon Microsoft was working with the International Business Machines Company known as IBM.

Always buy goods from well-known and trustworthy companies. Deal with companies which offer customer service, a complaints procedure and have a refund policy.Talk to merchant. E-mail and wait for reponses. Take down the addresses and phone numbers of those companies and make sure they are real by calling them up before buying any products and services.Ensure secure connection. Since buyers must submit personal information like number and expiry date of the card there are fears over security. Deal with sites that apply strict safety measures that require shoppers to give specific data known only to card holders before making the transaction.Be extra careful at a cybercafe or other public connection.Part II Net shopping under fireThere is an urgent need for e-commerce rules to boost confidence in buying online. Consumers International, a federation of 245consumer organizations — including the UK's Consumers Association —said its survey showed that there were still obatacles to shopping online with complete trust.The study, funded by the European Union, involved buying more than 150 items from 17 countries. Each consumer organization taking part tried to find one site in its own country and one abroad to buy a selection of items. These included a dictionary, a doll, jeans, a hairdryer, computer software and hardware, chocolates and champagne.The key findings were:Eight of the items ordered took more than a month to reach their destination and at least 11 (eight percent) never arrived.Many sites did not give clear information about delivery charges.Only 13% of the sites promised that they would not sell customers' personal information on to a third party.Only 53% of the companies had a policy on returning goods.Only 65% of the sites provided confirmation of the order and only 13% told customers when their goods had been dispatched.In two cases,customers are still waiting for their money back more than four months after returning their goods.Louis Sylvan, vice-president of Consumers International, said, "This study shows that, although buying items over the Internet can benefit the consumer by offering convenience and choice, there are still many obstacles that need to be overcome before consumers can shop in cyberspace with complete trust."Chris Philips, Marketing Manager at a London based e-commerce security company commented, "This study confirms the difficulties of establishing consumers' trust in the Internet as a shopping experience. With statistics like these and Visa claiming 47% of disputes and fraud cases were Internet-related, it is little wonder that Internetcommerce is not producing the profits predicted two or three years ago. Trust takes time to build, and the Internet will not mature as a retail channel until trusted brands, like the banks for example, start to offer ways of supporting trust relationships with guarantees payment and service."In September, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development will hold a meeting to discuss a set of international guidelines for electronic commerce.Part III Banking at homeMany people dislike walking to the bank, standing in long lines, and running out of checks. They are dissatisfied with their bank's limited hours, too. They want to do some banking at night, and on weekends. For such people, their problems may soon be over. Before long, they may be able to do their banking from the comfort of their own home, any hour of the day, any day of the week.Many banks are preparing "online branches," or Internet offices, which means that people will be able to take care of much of their banking business through their home computers. This process is called interactive banking. At these online branches, customers will be able to view all their accounts, move money between their accounts, apply for a loan, and get current information on products such as credit cards. Customers will also be able to pay their bills electronically, and even e-mail questions to the bank.Banks are creating online services for several reasons. One reason is that banks must compete for customers, who will switch to another bank if they are dissatisfied with the service they receive. The convenience of online banking appeals to the kind of customer banks most want to keep —people who are young, well-educated, and have good incomes. Banks also want to take advantage of modern technology asthey move into the twenty-first century.Online banking may not be appropriate for everyone. For instance, many people do not have computers at home. Other people prefer to go to the bank and handle their accounts the traditional way. Even though online banking may never completely replace a walk-in bank, it is a service that many customers are going to want to use.Part IV More about the topic: Secret of Good Customer Service In Britain they ask you, "Are you being served?" Whilst in America they tell you to "Have a nice day." But what is the secret of good customer service? From Harrods in London and Saks New York, we're going to find out the dos and don'ts of selling protocol.The reason that Harrods has been so successful over a hundred and fifty years is two fold. First of all they've offered their customers the products they want to buy in a pleasant environment. But secondly and more importantly, the level of customer service that they've given their customers, before sale, during sale and after sale, has been second to none. I think it's fair to say that if you compare the British with our cousins elsewhere in the world that we are actually quite a reserved lot. To a certain extent there are a lot of shrinking violets in this country who would rather just do their own thing. They'd rather wander around and browse and if they do need any help eventually, ask for it. So I think the way that we approach our own U.K. based customers is actually slightly different to the way we know we need to approach. For example, an American customer, or indeed a Japanese customer, or a Middle Eastern customer, who all have different ways of doing things.Well in serving different, I guess, nationalities, you do take very different approaches. With Europeans, for example, you do kind of let them take a look at everything. See what's being on offer and then ask them if they need any help. I think they'd probably much moreprefer to come to you, rather than you so much to go to them. The American customer very much expects you to go to them, approach them, show them alternatives. Well I think maybe the more European or British customer can be almost turned off by that if someone is seen to be too aggressive, maybe too anxious to make a sale.It's most important that the first contact, the first initial meeting with the customer is a good and successful one because on that basis, the customer will make up their mind what they want to do next.I quite like the English sales assistants because they definitely have better thing to do than talk to you, which I like. It's very terrifying when you go to America. "Can I help you?" they're like licking you. You're just like, "No, I'm fine. I just want to look." That puts me off. I love the English sales assistant.So where have you experienced the very best in customer service?Umm, probably America. In terms of best as in, they give you so much attention it's almost embarrassing. They treat you, you know, the "have a nice day" thing. They' want to help you. They want you to buy, 'cause they often work on a commission basis. That's if you like best. But I prefer the ... like, being ignored.Tamara:I think England's still way behind in terms of, like America for example. I can call in America from London and they'll track the item down. It's not like, "Sorry madam we don't have that in your size."I just got the Gucci boots, which mine had actually broken. And in England they said, "Sorry" you know, that's it. So this woman in Los Angeles tracked them down and, in fact got them for me. That's because they work on commission. And the sooner we learn that, the better the service will get.So what do the Americans have to say? They may speak with adifferent accent. But is the sales pitch a foreign language to the rest of the world?I think part of the reason Americans are known as experts is that we tend to focus a lot more in the human side of selling, not the mechanical side, which is the register and knowing about the product. We really want to know about your lifestyle. We want to know about your family. We want to know about your income. We want to know about your occasions in your life. And that's very different outside of the United States. Our consumer actually is comfortable with forming a partnership with a sales associate and giving up that information, very personal information, very personal information. I think that best part about Saks sales associate training that we actually develop customers, five different types of customers and we videotape them and put them up in front of every new sales associate and say, "This is our customers." They're very different. Each one of them is a top customer at Saks but they shop in a very different way. A lot of stores in this industry really measure selling effectiveness by sales and quite frankly that's not what Saks is about. I think the way you measure good quality staff is by repeat business. Obviously if you have someone on your selling floor that has a clientele, that is the measure of a good sales associate.Part V Do you know…?"Everybody loves a bargain, "this is a common American saying.A bargain is something you buy for less than its true vale. It is something you might not buy if it costs more.One person's useless ugly object can be another person's bargain. So many Americans put it outside with a "for sale" sign on it and they have a yard sale.Just about anything can be sold at a yard sale: clothing, cooking equipment, old toys, tools, books and chairs, even objects you thinkare extremely ugly or useless. You may have an electric light shaped like a fish. You may greatly dislike its looks, but it may be beautiful to someone else. Usually the seller puts a price on each object. But the price can almost always be negotiated. The price of a table, for example, might be marked $10. But the seller may accept 8. If the table has not been sold by the end of the day, the seller probably will take much less.Some people go to yard sales because it is part of their job. They earn their livings by buying old things at low prices then selling them at higher prices. Many others, however, go to yard sales just to have fun. They say it is like going on a treasure hunt. Sometimes they really do find the treasure.Ned Jaudere did. The Boston Globe newspaper says Mr. Jaudere has been collecting native American Indian objects since he was a young man. Last year, he stopped at a yard sale in the northeastern city of Worcester, Massachusertts. He paid $125 for what everyone thought was an old wooden club. Mr. Jaudere thought it was something else. Two days later, he confirmed that the club had been used by the Wampanoag Indian leader known as King Philip. King Philip used it during his war with the white settlers at eastern Massachusetts in 1675. The historic weapon had been stolen from a museum in 1970 and had been missing ever since. Mr. Jardere learnt the war club was valued at about $150 000 but he did not sell it or keep it. Mr. Jaudere returned the club to the museum near Boston Massachusetts from which it was stolen.Questions:1. Which of the following is a common American saying?2. What can be sold at a yard sale?3. Why do people go to a yard sale?4. When was the old wooden club stolen?5. What was the real value of the club?6. Why was the club at a great value?Unit 2 Hotel or B&BPart I Getting readyB.

I'd like some information about tourist figures, please. First, about accommodation. What proportion of tourists stay in hotels? B: Well, in an average year 60% of tourists stay in hotels, but this year 35% are staying in hotels. A: What proportion of tourists stay in holiday camps?

B: Well, in an average year 15% of tourists visit the U.S.A., but this year 30% are visiting the U.S.A.. A: Now, about methods of transport. What proportion of tourists go by plane?

A: What proportion of tourists take their own car?B: Well, in an average year about 20% of tourists take their own car, but this year about 30% are taking their own car. A: Thank you very much for your help.C.C:… so here's a brochure with the hotels in Midford. It gives you all the rates …T:I'm sorry, my English isn't so good. Can you explain this to me?C:Yes, of course. First of all we have the Castle Inn … here …it's the cheapest. It will cost you only ￡12 for a single room and ￡15 for a double. The price includes continental breakfast. If you want a full English breakfast you'll have to pay extra …T:What is this "English breakfast"?C:Oh, you know, hot food: fried egg, fried bacon, porridge …whereas the continental breakfast is coffee, tea, rolls, jam and honey — nothing cooked, you see.T:I think I would prefer the continental breakfast.C:Well, yes, that's included. And then we have the Dalton Hotel, more expensive, but very nice, a bathroom attached to every room. The Dalton charges ￡30 for a single room and ￡60 for a double. But there is no charge for children under 12 who stay in the same room as their parents.T:I won't have my children with me. But maybe my husband will come a little later …C:Well, the Park Hotel is very reasonably priced. ￡16 per person. Every room has a bath. There's a special rate of ￡25 which includes dinner, bed and breakfast — what we call half board. Or you can have full board, that's the room plus all meals for ￡29 per person per night.T:We would only want breakfast.C:I see. Mm … you could try the fourth hotel here, the Phoenix. It will cost you ￡28 for a double room with bath. Breakfast is ￡5 per person.T:Yes. But what about the extra money, what do you call it in English, the service...C:All these rates include a service charge of 10%. They also include VAT - that's Value Added Tax.T:If we come later in the year will it be cheaper?C:Yes. These are the rates for June to September. You would pay less at other times of the year.T:I'll talk about it with my husband. Thank you for explaining everything to me.C:You're very welcome.Part II A touch of homeBev Rose is a very good hostess. She tells the guests in her home there are sodas in the refrigerator, snacks in the kitchen, and videos next to the TV.But Rose's guests aren't out-of-town family or friends. Her guests are from all over the world. Rose's house is like a small hotel. It is called a bed and breakfast or B&B for short. The name of Rose's B&B is Suits Us.Rose and her husband have joined a growing number of people who are operating B&Bs in their homes. B&Bs offer the charm, comfort, and hospitality that is often missing in big hotels. That's why there are many people who would rather stay at a B&B than a hotel when they travel.There are about 15 000 B&Bs across the U.S. Each year they welcome millions of visitors. And the number is increasing. "I think guests are looking for the personal touch," said Pat Hardy, the director of the American Bed and Breakfast Association. "In a B&B, you don't have a room number. The owner knows who you are and helps you enjoy your trip," Hardy said. Travelers often want more than just a place to sleep. They like B&Bs because the owner takes a personal interest in them.Rose said one of the best things about owning a B&B is meetingall the different people. She loves watching the guests meet each other for the first time at breakfast. "It's really fun to stand in the kitchen and talk with my guests. Even though most of them have just met for the first time, the conversations at the breakfast table are really interesting and lively."Many B&Bs are older homes with interesting histories. Suits Us was built in 1883. The rooms are filled with antiques and 19th-century decorations. The Roses rent three of the upstairs bedrooms to guests. Every room at Suits Us has its own personality. The Roses have named several of the rooms for previous guests. For example, one of the rooms is named the Woodrow Wilson Room because the former U.S. President stayed there. Another room is called the Annie Oakley Room because the famous cowgirl was once a guest there.Bed and breakfasts aren't for everyone. Some people aren't comfortable staying in someone else's home. And other people don't care for the personal interaction. But for a quiet, romantic place to stay, many people are checking into bed and breakfasts instead of hotels. Once people have stayed in a B&B, they often find it hard to go back to hotels.Part III Renting a carA:Good afternoon. U-Drive-It rentals. May I help you?C:Hi, yeah. I'm interested in, uh, renting a car for the weekend, and I'm wondering if you have a special weekend rate?A:Yes, we do. [Mm-hmm.] Uh …what sort of car were you interested in?C:Well, we're a family of three and we have camping equipment. Now, I'm used to driving a small car, but I might need something a little larger because of the family and, uh …all the equipment that we have. A:Well, um … I could suggest a compact car for/to you.[Mm-hmm.] Some of our compacts have … have large trunks, [OK.] or, uh …Oh, better yet, why not a small station wagon? [Oh, good.] Um …all our cars are current models and, uh, have automatic transmission.C:Oh, well, I'm used to driving a standard, but I guess there's no problem with automatic transmission.A:No, no. If you can drive a standard you can drive an automatic. [Mh-hmm.] Uh, now, listen, when were you … uh … interested in …in renting this?C:Uh, well, we'll be leaving on a Friday, that's the …let's see, that's Friday, July 7th, and then returning on the Monday. That would be the tenth.A:Mm-hmm. Well, let's see … uh … we have … uh … Oh! We have a Pinto station wagon for those dates. [Mm-hmm. Good.] Um … yeah, I think … I think that's your best bet.C:OK. Uh … well, then when would we have to pick up the car and when would we have to return the car to get that special weekend rate?A:Well, for the weekend rate you have to pick up the car after four o'clock on Friday afternoon [Uh-huh.] and then return it by ten o'clock on Monday morning.C:After four on Friday and returning by ten o'clock on Monday morning. [Mm-hmm.] OK. What … uh … uh, what would be the price for that?A:OK, now, our … our regular rate is seventy-nine ninety-five. [Ooh!] but the special weekend rate w…you can get that for fifty-nine ninety-five. [Oh, Great.] Um …now the first three hundred miles are free, [Mm-hmm…] after that it's twelve cents per mile.C:Oh, so it's twelve cents a mile extra after the first three hundred miles?A:That's right.C:OK. Uh …do you have any …um …rentals with unlimited mileage?A:Well, we do, but you can't get that special weekend rate.C:Uh-huh. OK. Well, then does the fifty-nine ninety-five - that was the rate, right? [Mm-hmm.] — does that include insurance?A:No … um … the insurance is ten dollars more, but I really recommend it.C:Yeah.A:OK, now there's a … there's a sales tax of eight percent, [Mm-hmm…] and … um … you have to return the car with a full tank of gas. [Uh-huh.] Also, we require a deposit of a hundred dollars.C:Oh boy. It sure adds up!A:Well, our rates are still the lowest in town.C:Uh-huh. OK. Well, I tell you what. I'd like to think about it, if that's right, and then I'll call you back…uh…A:Sure, that's fine. Uh, listen, when you …when you do call back, ask for Doug. That's me.C:OK. Well, thanks a lot. Doug. Goodbye.A:Take care.Part IV More about the topic: What Type of Room Do You Want?S: If the terms are favorable, we could come to an arrangement for regular accommodation. Now, I wanted to discuss the types of room with you, and rates for their use.M:Certainly. The rates I’ll quote to you first of all are what we call "rack rates" , that is the normal rates quoted to the public. But obviously we would discuss a discount rate for you. Now, as regards the rooms, they are all of a very high standard. All our rooms have central heating. Most of them are with bathroom, and they all have a washbasin and a toilet.S:That sounds fine. Can you tell me about your single rooms?M:Yes. Our single rooms are very comfortable, and the rates are very reasonable. I think you'd find them suitable for visiting staff of all grades. The rack rate is ￡40 a night.S: ￡40 a night …M:Yes. Or for real economy, let's suppose you have a sales conference. You could double up your sales staff and put them into twin rooms. That would work out very cheaply. The normal rate is ￡55 per twin or double room per night.S: Well, we might consider that possibility. But we also have some quite important visitors sometimes. Have you any really special accommodation we can offer them?M: Well, suppose you have visiting managerial staff. For something more luxurious, we can offer our Delphos Suite. It's delightful, and convenient for entertaining private guests. It has its own private terrace where guests can sit outside and enjoy the view over the lake …S: That sounds most attractive …M: The normal rate is ￡150 per night …S: ￡150.M: …but for total luxury, the finest accommodation of any hotel in this area, I can recommend our Bella Vista Penthouse. From the balcony, there's a magnificent view over the whole countryside.S: Oh, lovely.M: It has a bedroom connecting to a large sitting room, with a separate study, a bathroom, and a fully-fitted kitchen. It combines total luxury with total privacy. For example, if your Company Director and his wife wanted to stay for a few days it would be ideal.S: And the rate?M: The normal rate would be ￡220 a night.Part V Do you know…?Five U.S. hotels were voted among the world's top ten, with the Halekulani in Honolulu ranking first, a survey of Gourmet magazine readers released last Friday said.Coming in second was the Oriental, in Bangkok, Thailand, followed by Villa d'Este, Cernobbio, Italy; The Regent Hong Kong, and Hotel Ritz, Paris.The Greenbriar, in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia ranked No. 8. The 10th-ranked hotel was the Four Seasons Resort Nevis, in Charlestown, Nevis, West Indies.More than 150 hotels, resorts and inns in 27 countries and regions were ranked in general and specific categories that rated such things as dining, bars, pools, workout centers and romantic atmosphere. This is the third year that Gourmet, which has more than 5 million readers, has conducted the survey.Another U.S. hotel, the Mansion on Turtle Creek in Dallas, topped the list for restaurant dining, beating out the Connaught in London, Italy's Villa d'Este and Bangkok's the Oriental. The Four Seasons in Philadelphia was No. 5.In the specific category of best business hotels, the Regent Hong Kong ranked first as it has for the past three years. In other categories, Paris' Hotel Ritz with its Roman thermal baths was voted to have the best pools and The Green- briar in West Virginia was found to have the best workout center, golf and tennis.Unit 3 “Planting” MoneyPart I Getting readyC.
