Kleanit
Bravo Murillo, 320

Spain
Dear fellow computer user,
A word of advice: It’s time to clean out your computer. If you’re like me, you
don’t remove documents that are no longer necessary. You never know when
you may need a file so you don’t throw it away, right? E-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 keeps 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 project
or routine tasks.
Why don’t you try it? I’ll send you a trial copy and if you aren’t satisfied,
you can send it back. If you are as impressed as I am, and you will be, send
your check for $32.50 at your earliest convenience.
Have a nice day
Robert Horstma
CEO

According to the fax, what prompted Mr. Horstma to sell Kleanit?
16


His email responses
His poor computer skills
His need for money
His satisfaction with the product
71. What suggestion is made in his fax?
A.
To buy new computers
B.
To send less mail
C.
To print out documents
D.
To purchase new software
72. According to the fax, what effect does clutter have on a computer?
A. It operates slowly.
B. It runs out of space.

C. It stops working.
D. It erases files.
A.
B.
C.

Wednesday, March 14 at 11 A.M. At the meeting, we will discuss ways to further the
presence of Fields Sports' apparel through special events, sponsorship, celebrity

Questions 77-79 refer to the following article.
Green Garden Café recently opened downtown and is offering a variety of handcrafted
sandwiches, along with homemade soups and ice cream. All food served at the café is
made from pure organic ingredients. Sandwiches are made with 100% whole-grain bread,
which is baked in the café’s kitchen.
Dinners are lining up to try Green Garden’s sandwiches for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
“One of our best sellers is our breakfast sandwich”, explains café owner Melissa
Whitehead. “It’s not your typical bacon-and-cheese concoction. Instead, we combine eggs
with fresh vegetables and serve it on fresh-baked bread. Customers can’t seem to get
enough of it”.
You won’t find the usual ham, turkey, or roast beef sandwich among the café’s offered

fare. In fact, all the food they serve is 100% vegetarian. There sandwiches are filled with
fresh vegetables, locally made cheese, or a combination of both. “Customers enjoy our
soups and ice cream, but what they really come here for are the sandwiches”, says
Whitehead. “That’s our most popular item”.
Give the Green Garden Café a try next time you are downtown. You won’t be
disappointed. The café is open six days a week: Monday-Friday from 9 AM to 9 PM and
Saturday from 11 AM to 4 PM.

ME MORAN DU M
Liberty Legal Services 302 Pine Street, Suite 2300
Los Angeles, CA 80214
Dear Colleagues,
I am writing to introduce the newest member on our staff. Andrea Langley comes to us

straight out of Hanfard Law School, where she graduated at the top of her class. As is
typical of our new lawyers, she will spend her first six months here working with various
people in the office.
This month Andrea will be working with Karen Jackson in our real estate division. Next
month she will work with Larry Dean in licensing. That is as far as we have her schedule
planned. If any of you have some time to spend with Andrea and have some interesting
projects coming up, please let me know and we may be able to arrange for her to work
with you. Please keep in mind that we do not want an intelligent and eager young lawyer
like Andrea doing busy work. Her mind is much more useful to us than that.
Please take a moment to stop by Andrea’s desk and introduce yourselves. And congratulate
her for passing her exam.
Thanks,
Scott

difficult case that I think would be a good learning experience for her; I could use the
help while she’s making her rounds.
The case I want her for is a mergers and acquisitions case. It’s for a merger between two
high-powered technology companies. Due to their backgrounds, it will require a fair
amount of paperwork. There will also be a lot of research required, and I think it would
give her a real taste of what most work in mergers and acquisitions is like.

If it’s okay with you, would you please run it by Andrea? We’d really love her down in
this office for a few weeks.
Thanks,
Nancy Strong.
