Bravo Morillo, 320
Portal 4-2,
28020 Madrid
Spain
Dear fellow computer user,
A word of advice. It's time to clean out your computer. If you're like me, you do not remove
documents that are no longer necessary from your computer. You never know when you need a
file, so you don't throw it away. Right? Electronic mail messages pile up, too, creating a huge
warehouse of obscure file names.
I found that a simple software package called Kleanit gets rid of everything I don’t need and
keep the things I do. I was so impressed with this package that I decided to share it with others.
No longer do those bothersome extra messages and computer files waste processing time and
cause my computer to perform inefficiently. Kleanit makes sure that the only files in my
computer are files that relate to my current projects or routine tasks. Why don’t you try it? I’ll

send you trial copy and if you aren’t satisfied, send it back. If you are, and yo u will be, send your
check for $32.50 at your earliest convenience.
Have a nice day,
Robert Horstma
CEO

56. According to the fax, what prompted Mr. Horsta to sell Kleanit?
His email responses
His poor computer skills
His need for money
His satisfaction with the product
57. What suggestion is made in this letter?
To buy new computers
To send less email
To print out the document
To purchase new software
58. Besides documents, what else clutters memory on most computers?
Operating instructions
Help files
Electronic mail messages
Directories
59. What effect does clutter have on a computer?
The computer operates slowly.
The computer runs out of space.
The computer stops working.
The computer erases files.

Question 63- 66 refer to the following article.
If you want to advance in your career, you will have to make some careful decisions about which
jobs you take. Evaluate a job offer for the value it has to your career. It may mean sacrifices at
first. You may have to move to a different region or a different country to get a job that is right
for you. You may have to work late hours, at least temporarily. You might even have to take a
lower salary for a job that offers you the experience that you need. But you should never accept a
job if it is not related to your career goals. Accepting a job that it not within your career path will

not give you the training or experience you need or want. You will find yourself frustrated in
such a position and consequently will not perform your best. This will have an effect on the
people around you, who will not feel as if you are being part of the team. The best advice is to
think carefully before accepting any position and make sure the job is one you want to have.

63. What is the most significant factor in evaluating a job?
Location
Salary
Value to your career
How much you will you like it
64. What is NOT mentioned as sacrifice for a valuable job?
Moving
No benefits
Bad hours
Low salary
65. What kind of job should you never accept?
One not related to your career goals
One that requires a long commute
One that has a negative effect on people around you
One that makes you work hard
66. What is wrong with taking a job outside your career path?
You will earn less.
You won't perform as well.
People will give you advice.
You will be stuck on a team.
