SUBJECT: Three Ways to Increase Ramco’s Community Involvement
DATE: March 5, 2019
At our planning session in early February, our division managers stressed the need to generate favourable publicity for our new Ramco facility in Mayfield. Knowing that such publicity will highlight Ramco’s visibility in Mayfield, I think the company’s image might be enhanced in the following three ways.
CREATE A SCHOLARSHIP FUND
Ramco would receive favourable publicity by creating a scholarship at Mayfield Community College for any student interested in a career in technology. A one-year scholarship would cost $6,800. The scholarship could be awarded by a committee composed of Ramco executives. Such a scholarship would emphasize Ramco’s enthusiastic support for the latest technical education at a local college.
OFFER SITE TOURS
Guided tours of the Mayfield facility would introduce the community to Ramco’s innovative technology. These tours might be organized for academic, community, and civic groups. Individuals would see the care we take in protecting the environment in our production and equipment choices and the speed with which we ship our products. Of special interest to visitors would be Ramco’s use of industrial robots working alongside our employees. Since these tours would be scheduled in advance, they should not conflict with our production schedules.
PROVIDE GUEST SPEAKERS
Many of our employees would be excellent guest speakers at civic and educational meetings in the Mayfield area. Possible topics include the advances Ramco has made in designing and engineering and how these advances have helped consumers and the local economy.
Thanks for giving me your comments as soon as possible. If we are going to put one or more of these suggestions into practice before the facility opens in mid-April, we’ll need to act before the end of the month.
1.If Ramco establishes a scholarship, it will _____.
A.benefit students at colleges in Mayfield
B.highlight Ramco’s support for the latest technical advances
C.be offered to MCC students interested in a career in technology
D.be jointly awarded by Ramco executives and college professors
2.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.Site tours of Mayfield facility can be arranged at any time.
B.The three measures are scheduled to be carried out in mid-April.
C.The three measures are sure to create favourable image for Mayfield.
D.Guest speakers will talk about Ramco’s advances in designing and engineering.
3.What type of writing is this passage?
A.A letter of introduction. B.A letter of proposal.
C.A letter of recommendation. D.A letter of complaints.

There are thousands of products of all colors and shapes in a supermarket, making you believe that they are worth a try. How? Packaging (包装) is the silent but persuading salesman .
There on the shelves, each bottle, can, box, and jar has been carefully designed and measured to speak to the inner self of the consumer (消费者), so that is buying not only a product but also his belief in life. Scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found that the look of the package has a great effect on the “quality” of the product and on how well it sells, because “Consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package. Many products are packages and many packages are products,” as Louis Cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers’ feeling for packaging, noticed.
Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of eye movement have shown that colors draw human attention quickly. Take V8 for example. For many years, the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that it is very good for your body. And the word “green” today can keep food prices going up.
Shapes are another attraction. Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness, because these shapes are pleasing to both the eye and the heart. That’s why the round yellow M signs of McDonald’s are inviting to both young and old.
This new consumer response (反应) to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers that people buy to satisfy both body and soul.
1.According to the passage, ________ seems to be able to persuade a consumer to buy the product.
A. the pleasing color of the package
B. the special taste of the product
C. the strange shape of the package
D. the belief in the product
2.If a package or a product is round in shape, it can ________.
A. bring excitement to the consumers
B. attract the consumers’ attention
C. catch the eye movement of the consumers
D. produce a happy and peaceful feeling
3.“And the word ‘green’ today can keep food prices going up.” This sentence suggests that consumers today are ________.
A. starting to notice the importance of new food
B. enjoying the beauty of nature more than before
C. beginning to like green vegetables
D. paying more attention to their health
4.It can be inferred from the passage that V8 is a kind of ________.
A. vegetable dish B. healthy juice
C. iced drink D. red vegetable

Have fun making decisions．

Every life-changing decision we make in our life shapes our current reality. Let’s talk about a few ways that you can use for reference when making your own life-changing decisions.
Realize the power of decision making. Before you start making a decision, you have to understand what a decision does. 1. When you decide to pick up a cigarette to smoke it, that decision might result in your picking up one after one later on to get that same high feeling.
Carry your decision out. It’s pointless to make a decision and just keep it in your head 2. If you want to make real changes in life, you have to apply action to your decision until it’s completed.
Tell others about your decisions. Telling other people what we’re going to do can make us follow through. For example, if you decide to become an early riser, you can go to a forum and tell people that you will wake up at 6 a.m. and keep on it. 3.
Learn from your past decisions. It’s common that you are going to mess up at times when it comes to making decisions. 4. Ask yourself what is good or bad about your decision and what you will do to make a better decision next time.
5. For example, if you made the decision to lose ten pounds by next month through aerobics (有氧运动). You don’t have to just do aerobics. You can be open to losing weight through different methods of dieting as long as it helps you reach your goal in the end.
A.Maintain a flexible approach.
B.Enjoy the process of making decisions.
C.That’s the same as not making a decision at all.
D.It always takes a lot of time to make a decision.
E.Any decision that you make causes a chain of events to happen.
F.So, instead of beating yourself up over it, learn a lesson from it.
G.You’re able to accomplish this because you feel it an obligation to keep your word.
