Dear Sir / Madam,
I live next to your school in Grasmere Road and I am writing regarding the very bad behaviour of some of your younger students. In addition to this,I should like to bring to your attention to the irresponsibility of certain members of your staff when supervising (監(jiān)督) students,evening activities.
Firstly,concerning the students' behaviour,I should like you to make it very clear to those students walking along Grasmere Road towards the station that my front garden is not a place where people are allowed to leave their rubbish. When they leave school in the afternoons,they pass my house and throw empty cans,waste paper and even cigarette packets(although most of them are below the age for smoking) on my grass.
Could you also please ask your students not to .... shout and use bad language in the street,as this is harmful to the reputation of both your school and the area?
Regarding certain members of your staff,you are perhaps unaware of the fact that their evening activities sometimes continue well beyond ten and the noise is too loud. Last Thursday night the noise did not stop until 10:30 pm. Surely the members of i staff supervising these activities could bring the events to a close at a suitable moment.
I know that I am speaking for many families in the area when I ask you to speak to your students and staff about these matters.
Should they continue to be so inconsiderate,I shall be forced to take matters further and shall have no choice but to write to the council(地方議會) .
Yours faithfully,
Mrs J Barker

閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D) 中,選出最佳選項。
A
Called “the man who shaped America” and “the father of modem industrial design”, Raymond Loewy must be one of the most influential designers of all time. He revolutionized the industry,working as an adviser for more than 200 companies and creating designs for everything from packaging to refrigerators,from cars to the insides of spaceships.
Loewy's designs all had one thing in common. They were shaped by the MAYA principle — Most Advanced Yet Acceptable. His idea was that people will not accept solutions to design problems if the solutions are too different from current designs.
Loewy started his career in industrial design in 1929 by re-designing a copying machine for the British manufacturer, Sigmund Gestetner. The 28-year-old designer completed the task in three days and the design of the machine lasted for the next 40 years.
The Gestetner copying machine was the beginning of many designs which used streamlining (流線型) . He described this as “beauty through function and simplificationHe spent the next 50 years streamlining everything from postage stamps and company logos (商標(biāo)) to the insides of stores. The famous Greyhound bus and Studebaker car show his use of streamlining in action.
He is perhaps most famous for his re-design of the Lucky Strike packaging. In 1940,the President of the Lucky Strike Manufacturing Company,George Washington Hill,bet Loewy $50,000 that he could not improve the appearance of the green and red Lucky Strike packets. Loewy accepted the challenge. He changed the background of the packet from green to white. Then he put the red lucky strike target on both sides of the packet. This made it more eye-catching and greatly increased sales. It is now recognized as a design classic.
Loewy's logo design aimed at “visual retention(視覺保持)”.He wanted to make sure that anyone who saw the logo,even for a short while,would never forget it. He designed many highly visible logos for famous companies such as Shell Oil,Exxon,Greyhound and Nabisco.
By the mid 20th century,his industrial design firm was so famous that he could say “the average person,leading a normal life ... is bound to be in daily contact with some of the things,services or structures” designed by his firm.
