Memo

To: Jennifer Martin, Sports Equipment Manager

From: Clive Wilbur, Management Committee Chairperson

Re: June 25 Annual General Meeting

I know that you will be unable to attend this year's meeting on the 25' so I am sending you

the agenda now. Please take a look at it before the meeting and give me your opinion onthe items.

We have decided to resurface the tennis courts and need to choose from three contractors.

I will send you their price lists and a voting form later. Everyone at the meeting will have

a chance to vote. As you know, we have suffered a lot of broken windows recently. I

would appreciate it if you could fax me your ideas on how to deal with this problem. The

fourth item on the agenda refers to renting equipment. We will limit rentals to one hour on

weekends and two hours during the week. Only members will be able to rent equipment

on weekends. This brings us to the next item: all members will be required to show their

membership card in order to use the sports center at a discounted price.Please send me your thoughts as soon as possible, and I will talk to you in person when

you get back from your vacation.

Questions 6 through 9 refer to the passage below.This is a chart of the Food Pyramid. The Food Pyramid serves as a basic guide to make

healthy food choices. If you take a look at the guide you can easily see which food groups

you should be eating. According to the pyramid, most of your daily food should consist of

breads, rice, and cereals. These are the foods in the bottom level of the pyramid. Almost

equal to these, but not quite as much, should be vegetables and fruits. Therefore, you can

feel free to go ahead and eat lots of fruit and vegetables every day. Servings of meat, fish,

eggs, and dairy foods, which include milk and cheese, should be much smaller. Sugar should

be the smallest portion of all. Of course, your daily nutritional needs will vary according to

your activity level and life style. You do not have to follow the Food Pyramid, but it is agood way to be sure you will get the healthiest benefits from your daily food. If you keep a

copy of the pyramid stuck to the door of your refrigerator, it will remind you to plan your

daily meals wisely every time you go into the kitchen.

Questions 5 through 10 refer to the following paragraph.

Most people are afraid of sharks, but they usually do not know very much about them. For

example, there are 350 kinds of sharks, and all of them are meat eaters. Some sharks are very big.The whale shark is 50 to 60 feet long. But some sharks are very small. The dwarf shark is only 6

inches long.

Sharks are 100 million years old. In fact, they lived at the same time as dinosaurs. Today, sharks

live in every ocean in the world, but most sharks live in warm water. They keep the oceans clean

because they eat sick fish and animals. Most sharks have four to six rows of teeth. When a sharks

tooth falls out another tooth moves in from behind. Sharks do not have ears. However, they hear

sound and movements in the water. Any sound or movement makes the water vibrate. Sharks can

feel these vibrations, and they help the sharks find food. Sharks use their large eyes to find food,

too. Most sharks see best in low light. They often hunt for food at dawn, in the evening, or in the

middle of the night. Scientists want to learn more about sharks for several reasons. For example,

cancer is common in many animals, including people. However, it is rare in sharks. Scientists

want to find out why sharks almost never get cancer. Maybe this information can help people

prevent cancer too.
