Questions 7 through 9 refer to the following telephone message 
and advertisement.
[F-Br] Hello? Gary? It’s Nicky. Listen, I just saw an ad online for 
a coffee machine. I know you’ve been looking for one for 
ages for the staff room, but they’re so expensive. This one 
looks pretty good. It’s a Jenson Classic. That’s the one you 
mentioned you like when we spoke, but new they’re over 
£650. Anyway, this is less than a year old so is still under 
guarantee. I know you said £300 is your limit, but it has great 
reviews. All the teachers will love it! If you’re interested, I can 
e-mail you the link. Let me know soon, OK? Bye.
Questions 10 through 12 refer to the following excerpt from a 
meeting and chart.
[M-Am] So, as you can see from this chart, the latest round of 
restructuring will shake things up considerably. Vice 
Presidents will no longer report directly to the President. That 
should free up some time for Mr. Sanders to pursue high 
value deals and new contacts at board level. It sounds fine 
in principle, but until we know who will fill that key position 
then we won’t know exactly how it will work. I know Sales and 
Finance VPs are especially worried about how things will turn 
out. They’ve had a good relationship with the President and 
they’ll be sorry to lose it.

Track 108
[M-Am] Welcome to the World of Business. Our main story tonight 
is the news that Eileen Vicks, C.E.O. of Mundo Medical, 
is leaving the company to join rival PRC Chemicals. This 
shocking announcement was made at a press conference just 
ten minutes ago. Vicks has been at Mundo Medical for more 
than twenty years, steering the company from early difficulties 
to become the number two supplier of drugs to the U.S. 
market. Her departure raises questions of a merger between 
the two giants.
