Sports Wire

Rome, Italy
A recent report from the European Car Racing Association shows that many professional race car drivers suffer from chronic neck pain due to frequent quick acceleration and sudden braking during competitions. Drivers frequently accelerate their cars from 30km/h to 200 km/h in just seconds. The occupation also increases risk of spinal stress.

James Waters, professional driver since 1989 comments that he has experienced chronic neck pain for many years. The only remedy seems to be frequent massages and exercises designed to strengthen the neck muscles. Manufacturers of car restraint systems are also trying to design better safety belts to keep the neck more stable during acceleration and braking, a change we may not see in this sport for several years.

20. What can help lessen the stress related to car racing?
21. When may new designs in safety belts appear?

John Mallet [3:45 P.M.] Hi, everyone. You'll be happy to know that management gave me approval to send some of our people to the career fair at Duluth University next month.
Janet Chan [3:48 P.M.] That's excellent news. A lot of students have probably heard of our company, since Go-C Tech is such a short distance from the campus.
John Mallet [3:52 P.M.] Exactly, however, our budget is limited, so we need to decide which departments should be represented. We can't send everyone.
Melissa Kovac [3:55 P.M.] My marketing team recruited quite a few new people just last month. You can leave me out.
John Mallet [4:00 P.M.] I'll keep that in mind. And I think the accounting department should participate. Management feels that they will need more help when our purchase of Stanfield Incorporated moves forward. I'll speak to Susan Edwards about it.
Peter Mercer [4:01 P.M.] I need to supervise product testing in the research and development department for the next few months. Can I send someone in my place?
John Mallet [4:03 P.M.] Of course. Who do you choose, Peter?
Peter Mercer [4:05 P.M.] Amy Lintan. She doesn't have a lot of experience, but she's quite knowledgeable about our department's needs.
John Mallet [4:08 P.M.] That's fine. Perhaps someone who has been employed for a shorter time can provide a valuable perspective on what it is like to join our company.

34. What is indicated about Duluth University?
35. At 3:55 P.M., what does Ms. Kovac mean when she writes, "You can leave me out"?
36. What is implied about Go-C Tech?
37. Who will delegate a representative to the career fair?

I saw your advertisement for a minivan in the paper this morning. I've been looking for something that size. Is it still available?

 

Enrico Lopez 9:40
It is. Are you interested in seeing it and taking a test drive? I live at 2230 Sawyer Avenue, which is just off of Broad Street.

 

Sharon Van Deist 9:47
Oh, my apartment is nearby in Madison Heights on Finn Street. Are you in now? I can walk over and meet you at your place in about 15 minutes.

 

Enrico Lopez 9:51
I'm actually at the supermarket on Baird Avenue now, but I should be home within 30 minutes.

 

Sharon Van Deist 9:53
Okay, I'll be there at 10:30, if that works for you.

 

Enrico Lopez 9:54
That'll do.

38. What most likely does Ms. Van Deist want to do?

Cleaning a Laptop Computer

Clean your laptop computer efficiently and safely. Before anything else, make sure to unplug all the cords and remove the battery from your laptop. You will need a soft cloth, a can of compressed air, and a bottle of Leaders Cleaner.

Let’s start with the surface. Put a drop or two of Leaders Cleaner on the cloth and wipe all the sides of your laptop. —[1]—. Using a mixture of water and regular soap is fine, but Leaders Cleaner is a better choice as it evaporates almost immediately, eliminating the danger of liquid getting into your laptop. —[2]—.

Next up is the keyboard. Removing the keys and putting them in a bowl filled with water to clean them is an option. —[3]—. However, simply using a can of compressed air to remove the debris underneath the keys will do the job just fine. Cleaning the monitor should be the last step, so you can prevent the screen from getting dirty with the dust you create while cleaning other parts. —[4]—.

Click here to order Leaders Cleaner. A brief video of our expert performing the laptop cleaning is available here. Talk with technical experts and other registered members of Leaders Today about tech-related issues here.

40. What is indicated as the first step in cleaning a laptop?
41. According to the Web page, what is mentioned as a strongly recommended item when cleaning a laptop?
42. What is indicated about Leaders Today?
43. In which of the positions marked [1], [2], [3] and [4] does the following sentence best belong? “Furthermore, it is more effective at removing oily residues.”
