0 Smart business travelers today are staying at the airport to do business. Rather than
00 waste of time in traffic as they try to reach city center venues , business people
34 are using conference facilities on the offer at airports . Busy executives are also
35 staying there overnight to avoid the difficulty of getting there for take an early morning
36 meeting . And it makes senses for our international meetings to be held at airports . It is
37 principally through the improvement in airport hotels that has enabled this
38 development to take place . Today these mini-conference centers provide services are
39 designed for business travelers , look like a quick check-in and round-the-clock restaurants,
40 so they can get to work as quickly as possible . They are also less expensive place
41 than their city center counterparts. Not long years ago, airports hotels were
42 uncomfortable , unattractive and inconvenient for as far as the business traveler was
43 concerned . Yet now that there is strong interest , as travelers become aware of the
44 new facilities . Demand for small meeting rooms is huge , usually for interview or one-
45 to-one meetings , where executives fly in and out of the same day. The age of the
airport is upon us .

Answers：34 THE 35 TAKE 36 OUR 37 THROUGH
38 ARE 39 LOOK 40 PLACE 41 YEARS
42 FOR 43 THAT 44 CORRECT 45 OF

详细解释：00 waste是及物动词，后面直接跟上名词，of多余。
34 on offer是固定结构，类似的有on sale / on exhibition等。
35 介词后要用V- ing形式， 用for短语表示目的， 动词take多余。
36 这里是是“国际性会议”，并不是指谁的，所以our是干扰词。
37 这是一个强调句，强调主语,如果用了through后面的 has的主语就是介词短语through the improvement了。所以，through是多余的。对于强调句，解决的方法就是去掉It is …that后看句子主干是否完整正确。
38 这一题应该联系下一行，删除are后是用过去分词作后置定语。
39 这里要用like，表示举例说明，look是多余的，可以根据句意判断出。
40 place没有必要，与前面的主语they也不一致。
41 not long ago是固定结构，years是多余的。
42 as far as是一个连词词组，而for是介词，后面接的是句子,应该去掉for。
43 句子没有“既然”的意思，用了that造成句子意思有悖于原文。
44 这一行没有错误。
45 这里of是多余的，应该去掉，用the same day做状语。当然，如果是四六级的题目，我们也可以把of改为in，用介词短语作状语。但BEC中没有这种改法。

35 hard.” she says. “I don’t think I had any of chance of winning. When I heard my
36 name , my legs were so weak I could only hardly stand up .”she laughs. So
37 how is “the best” personal assistant chosen from a group of so extremely good
38 and very different from individuals ? The final decision was reached after
39 day-long session of tests , interviews and exercises . Garrard believes of
40 the skills she uses in her job helped her how to perform well. For instance ,although

Answers： 34 THAT 35 OF 36 ONLY 37 SO
38 FROM 39 OF 40 HOW 41 CORRECT
42 OUT 43 UP 　 44 WILL 45 BE
详细解释：00 seem不能用于seem sb. to be 结构。代词me是多余的。
　　　　　34 混用了find用于宾语从句和复合结构的句型，that是多余的。
35 any后面直接跟上名词，当后面含有定冠词，形容词性物主代词或人称代词宾格的时候要加上of，如：any of the / their products , any of them .
36 only和hardly不可以同时使用,根据句意，应该删除only。
37 含有”极端”意义的词不与so连用。
38 当表示两个事物相比较的时候，我们会用different from，在这里并没有比较，所以不用加上from。
39 在the skills she uses in her job helped her how to perform well中she uses in her job是一个定语从句，省略了that或which，去掉从句后the skills helped her how to perform well.是一个句子，所以believe后不可以加上of。
40 考察help sb. to do sth.结构.how跟well不可以同时使用,因为well回答了how
41 这一行没有错误。
42 try to do 试图/努力做某事。
43 close up是“倒闭”的意思，而文中“关闭，关门”的意思，即“暂停营业”。
44 时间,条件,让步状语从句用一般现在时表将来.
45 be动词后的动词要用现在分词或过去分词，不可接动词原形，所以，句子中的be是多余的，在这里用动词原形即可。

CHECKOUT OPERATORS
0 Supermarket checkout operators sit at electronic tills and fill in the prices of the
00 customer’s goods . This is now done by “scanning”, pass each such item over
34 a device that reads the bar-code on it and automatically registers it down in the
35 till . They may weigh some products , such as for fruit , on scales near the
36 till . When all the goods will have been scanned ,the till provides a total and the
37 operators take payment in the cash , by cheque or by credit or debit card , and
38 give a till receipt and any more change required . They provide bags , often
39 help to pack purchase , and change paper till rolls as being necessary
40 They also make it sure they have enough change , credit card forms ,and carrier
41 bags . Operators ring a bell or buzzer to summon for a supervisor to help
42 with problems , and put notes and cheques into bags for periodic collection .
43 They enter into their personal details in the till , so that their performance can be
44 analyzed later . The system offers supermarkets an efficient way of handling with a
45 large number of customers purchasing many products and helps to keep checkout
queues to a minimum .

THE COST OF NOT TRAINING
0 Training is not a cost . It’s an investment . It really doesn’t matter that what we pay
00 for an investment . What is relevant is what we get in return . One of the easiest
34 ways is to put an organization’s future at risk would be to view training primarily as
35 a cost , and therefore provide with substandard training that operates only as a
36 temporary solution . Many companies attempt to quantify as the results of training. For
37 example , a person paid $50,000 a year who wastes just one hour a day costs the
38 organization between $6,250 per year . So if the organization sends 25 people for
39 training and they all receive the same benefit , this would equal from $156,250
40 savings per year . A few of years ago , training , apart from showing employees
41 what the basics of doing the job , was an optional extra for most organizations .
42 Today this is no longer than the case . If we continue doing what we do in the same way ,
43 most of us and our organizations will become obsolete within the five years . This is
44 because of our competitors are helping their staff to become more effective through
45 training . They understand that if the real price of not training is the company falling
behind as a result .

INCREASING CUSTOMERS LOYALTY
0 Customers are not revolutionaries. They are attracted to be the certainty of knowing that
00 what they buy it will be good value for money or will perform a particular task effectively.
34 They are cautious but their loyalty , without once achieved , is the key to business success.
35 Brands can help to create customer loyalty by providing us a signpost to certainty and
36 safety . Ideally , when a customer sees off a product , it leads to a range of positive thoughts
37 so that the product is being bought . Unfortunately , only a small number of products have
38 reached to this level . While everyone in business is aware of the need to attract and
39 retain customers , that they often overlook the second , more important , half of the
40 equation . In the excitement of beating against the competition and securing orders,
41 managers often fail to ensure that the customer remains a customer . It has been
42 estimated that since the average company loses between 10 to 30% of its customers
43 every year and this only recently have organizations started to wake up to these lost
44 opportunities and to calculate the financial implications . Established customers often
45 buy more and, in the addition , they may also provide free word-of-mouth advertising.
