Choose the TRUE statements from the list below based on the dialogue you just heard.

There may be more than one correct answer!

Shmike committed labor abuses in Asia during the 1990s.

Susie says that Shmike was "guilty" of labor abuses in China, Vietnam and Indonesia in 1999. To be "guilty" of something is to be responsible for it (legally, financially, etc). A criminal is found "guilty" or innocent by a court of law. If Shmike was revealed to be guilty of labor abuses, they committed labor abuses.

Shmike produced sweatshirts in Asian facilities.

Susie says that Shmike's facilities in Asia were essentially "sweatshops". A "sweatshop" is a factory or manufacturing plant in which workers are exploited, abused or underpaid. The term "sweatshop" is unrelated to "sweatshirts", or any type of merchandise.

Shmike products were successful both nationally and internationally during the 1990s.

Susie says that Shmike's products were "dominant", meaning they were successful (even that they dominated the market) during the 1990s. Susie adds that the products were dominant both "domestically", meaning on a national level (or within the U.S.), and "abroad", meaning "overseas" (or outside the U.S.). "Domestic" and "abroad" are synonymous with "national and international" in this context, and "dominant" shares a close meaning with the term "successful".

Shmike was accused of overpaying their workers in Asia.

On the contrary, Susie says that Shmike refused to pay their Asian workers the money they were promised. This isn't an example of "overpaying", which is to pay more than what is expected or appropriate.

练习 2

Select the TRUE statements from the list below.

There may be more than one.

Bruno's room is far away from the main section of the ranch.

Warbuckle only drinks imported beer.

Bruno had a difficult flight.

Bruno wants to discuss business right away.

Select the TRUE statements from the list below.

There may be more than one.

Bruno's room is far away from the main section of the ranch.

This is a true statement. Warbuckle tells Bruno that he is "staying in the guesthouse". According to Warbuckle, the guesthouse is "past the stables", "left after the gazebo" and "about two miles down the trail" AFTER the sauna. Therefore, we can safely assume that the guesthouse is quite far from the Ranch House.

Warbuckle only drinks imported beer.

This statement is false. Warbuckle offers Bruno a beer and goes on to say "I don't have any foreign beer, of course, only American." "Imported beer" describes beer from another country or "foreign" beer. Warbuckle doesn't drink "foreign" or "imported beer" at all, he only drinks American or "domestic beer".

Bruno had a difficult flight.

This statement is false. Warbuckle asks Bruno, "how was your flight?" Bruno replies "no complaints". To "complain" about something means to express feelings of dissatisfaction. The idiom "no complaints" indicates that there were no problems, and in this context it means that Bruno had a smooth flight with no complications or problems.

Bruno wants to discuss business right away.

This statement is false. As soon as Bruno arrives, Warbuckle suggests grilling up some steaks and relaxing by the pool. Bruno then tells Warbuckle, "I'd like to find a place to put my suitcase down". Bruno is expressing a desire to put his suitcase down somewhere (in his room) before he starts to discuss things with Harold. "Right away" is synonymous with "immediately".
