Übung 1

Icarus tells Bob that the Miracle software ...meets Delavigne's requirements.
This means that the Miracle software:

is highly regarded.

This is not what Icarus is referring to when he says that the Miracle software "meets our requirements". Something "highly-regarded" is recommended or well thought of.

fulfills the company's needs.

This is the best choice here. The expression "to meet our requirements" shares a very similar meaning with the expression "to fulfill our needs". Both phrases indicate that "expectations", "requirements" or "objectives" are being "met", "fulfilled" or "reached".

is user-friendly.

A user-friendly program is simple or easy to use. This is not what Icarus is referring to when he says that the Miracle software "meets our requirements"

Select the TRUE statements from the list below according to Mrs Lee's email.

There may be more than 1!

Mrs Lee is not willing to discuss production costs during Kevin's visit to ChinaCorp.

Mrs Lee thinks that her company can provide Delavigne with other products in addition to glass bottles.

ChinaCorp is having trouble meeting Delavigne Corp's production requirements.

Select the TRUE statements from the list below according to Mrs Lee's email.

There may be more than 1!

Mrs Lee is not willing to discuss production costs during Kevin's visit to ChinaCorp.

This choice is incorrect. Mrs Lee writes that her company's prices "are very competitive", and that she will "discuss this on Thursday". To be "willing (to discuss money)" is to be "prepared" or "happy" to do it.

Mrs Lee thinks that her company can provide Delavigne with other products in addition to glass bottles.

This is a correct choice. Mrs Lee writes that Kevin (and the Delavigne Corporation) "might be interested in other production services beyond the glass bottles." Mei-Tsing is saying that Delavigne may want other products "beyond" or "in addition to" the initial request of glass bottles. "Beyond" means "further", "past" or "more than". For example: Beyond my house, there is a large rooster farm.

ChinaCorp's workers are accustomed to working hours that often change.

This is a correct choice. Mrs Lee writes that ChinaCorp employees "are used to working irregular hours and shifts". Being "used to (working late)" is to be accustomed to it. Example: I am used to waking up early because I grew up on a rooster farm. "Irregular" hours are hours which change often, and are not always the same every day. "A shift" refers to the working hours of a worker. Example: My shift begins at 4AM.

ChinaCorp is having trouble meeting Delavigne Corp's production requirements.

This choice is incorrect. Mrs Lee writes that "ChinaCorp will definitely be able to take care of (DC's) production requirements," meaning that ChinaCorp CAN satisfy Delavigne Corp's requirements or needs. The expression "to meet (sbdy's) requirements" shares a very similar meaning with the expression "to fulfill (sbdy's) needs". To "have trouble (with a math problem)" is to have difficulties in solving it.
