　　731 AWA汇总(二)

　　The following appeared as part of an annual report sent to stockholders by Olympic Foods, a processor of frozen foods.

　　“Over time, the costs of processing go down because as organizations learn how to do things better, they become more ficient. In color film processing, for example, the cost of a 3-by-5-inch print fell from 50 cents for five-day service in 1970 to 20 cents for one-day service in 1984. The same principle applies to the processing of food. And since Olympic Foods will soon celebrate its twenty-fifth birthday, we can expect that our long experience will enable us to minimize costs and thus maximize profits.”

　　AWA 说一个叫avia’ airline ，在一千个乘客里面就收到9个人关于他们 luggage handling procedure的投诉，然后说这个比例还不到百分之一，所以说明绝大多数的乘客是很满意的，所以不用去review这些procedure了，即使这样以后的乘客还是可以保证的而且increase。

　　The following appeared in an Avia Airlines departmental memorandum.

　　“On average, 9 out of every 1,000 passengers who traveled on Avia Airlines last year filed a complaint about our baggage-handling procedures. This means that although some 1 percent of our passengers were unhappy with those procedures, the overwhelming majority were quite satisfied with them; thus it would appear that a review of the procedures is not important to our goal of maintaining or increasing the number of Avia’s passengers.”

　　AWA 就是说BC这个公司，是搞mining tech的，然后这个行业不好，profits and price都decline，所以转向了 renewable energy tech，这样就能扭转profits和price的decline，可能还有其他因素不过现在脑子坏掉鸟，想不起了……;

　　AWA感谢spups 给出原文

　　The following appeared as part of a recommendation from the business manager of a department store.

　　“Local clothing stores reported that their profits decreased, on average, for the three-month period between August 1 and October 31. Stores that sell products for the home reported that, on average, their profits increased during this same period. Clearly, consumers are choosing to buy products for their homes instead of clothing. To take advantage of this trend, we should reduce the size of our clothing departments and enlarge our home furnishings and household products departments.”

　　AA是说那个水果价格七年前是5cents ,现在是30cents,所以水果涨价了，引发通胀了。要避免通胀，需要制定严格的定价规则。

　　The following is taken from an editorial in a local newspaper.

　　“Over the past decade, the price per pound of citrus fruit has increased substantially. Eleven years ago, Megamart charged 5 cents apiece for lemons, but today it commonly charges over 30 cents apiece. In only one of these last eleven years was the weather unfavorable for growing citrus crops. Evidently, then, citrus growers have been responsible for the excessive increase in the price of citrus fruit, and strict pricing regulations are needed to prevent them from continuing to inflate prices.”

　　AA作文一篇是卖汽车的，说如果给豪华车做广告全年销量包括便宜车都会增加，如果给便宜车做广告销量不会有太多增长，结论给高级车做广告吸引了很多顾客前来观赏同时也增加了其他车的销量

　　AWA：“A year ago Apex Manufacturing bought its managers computers for their homes and paid for telephone connections so that the managers could access Apex computers and data files from home after normal business hours. Since last year, productivity at Apex has increased by 15 percent. Other companies can learn from the success

　　The following appeared as part of an article in a computer magazine.

　　“A year ago Apex Manufacturing bought its managers computers for their homes and paid for telephone connections so that they could access Apex computers and data files from home after normal business hours. Since last year, productivity at Apex has increased by 15 percent. Other companies can learn from the success at Apex: given home computers and access to company resources, employees will work additional hours at home and thereby increase company profits.”

　　AA一道是说一种叫muscle monthly的杂志经常卖脱销，上面有一种健身机的图片。所以有人建议在本地的健身中心中装上这种机器，来maximize本地居民的fitness levels。

　　The following appeared in the letters-to-the-editor section of a local newspaper.

　　“Muscle Monthly, a fitness magazine that regularly features pictures of bodybuilders using state-of-the-art exercise machines, frequently sells out, according to the owner of Skyview Newsstand. To help maximize fitness levels in our town’s residents, we should, therore, equip our new community fitness center with such machines.”
