It gives me great pleasure today to say a few words in praise of a man we will all miss very much. To be honest, I can’t imagine we will do without him when he’s gone. Bill Masters almost single-handed built up our sales force in the Houston area and developed the market position that we enjoy today. In only six years, he has brought the firm from a very low fifth position in the area sales to the point where we now outsell all but one of our competitors. Not only have we got 37 per cent of the market under Bill’s leadership; we are increas??ing our share with each passing month.

As you know, the company has moved Bill to northern California to work his sales magic in one of this company’s competitive areas. But we know that if anyone can do it, Bill Masters can, and I know you all join me in wishing him the best of luck in his new work.

The speech was made ________.

A. at a welcome meeting B. after someone died

C. when somebody was leaving D. when they had a new manager

One evening after dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Tisich called a family meeting. “We’ve had to make a difficult decision,” Mr. Trsich announced. “You see, your mother has been offered a post as codirector of a television station to Chicago, Unfortunately, the station is not here, After thinking long and hard about it, we’ve concluded that the right decision is to move to Chicago.”

Marc looked shocked, while his sister Rachel breathlessly started asking when they’d be moving. “It’s surprising. but exciting!” she said. Marc simply said. “We can’t go - I can’t leave all my friends. I’d rather stay here and live with Tommy Lyons!”

The Tisichs hoped that by the time they moved in August, Marc would grow more accustomed to the idea of leaving. However, he showed no signs of accepting the news, refusing to pack his belongings.

When the morning of the move arrived. Marc was nowhere to he found. His parents called Tommy Lyons’s house, but Mrs. Lyons said she hadn^’t seen Marc. Mrs. Tisich became increasingly concerned, while her husband felt angry with their son for behaving so irresponsibly

What they didn^’t know was that Marc had started walking over to Tommy’s house , with a faint idea of hiding Lyons’s attic （阁楼） for a few days. But something happened on the way as Marc walked past all the familiar landscape of the neighborhood: the fence that he and his mother painted, the tree that he and his sister used to climb, the park where he and his father often took evening walks together. How much would these mean without his family, who make them special in the first place? Marc didn’t take the time to answer that question but instead hurried back to his house, wondering if there were any moving cartons （纸板箱） the right size to hold his record collection.
