FC: Well, rye been looking at our payment terms, in other words how long we have to wait for payment, we must reduce the average delay in payment. It's nearly 45 days now from the date we send out the invoice. We've got to get it down to near 30 days. It's not easy. The Sales people always argue it is better to wait for payment rather than lose a customer, but I think we can tighten up on reminders, statements and so on.
MD: What about our payments to suppliers?
FC: Well, that's more difficult. We are a small firm dealing with large suppliers. They don't have to help us. Still, maybe one or two of our older suppliers could give us better payment terms.
MD: Right, let's look at some more general cost cutting measures we can take. I'm interested in support services such as training and personnel development.
PM: Look, I must say something here. We simply mustn't cut these services. They are our long term investment in people.
MD: Maybe, but we've got to reduce costs some- how. We can't cut in the production area. I...
PM: True, but our training budget is already very limited. Most of the training programmes are long term.
MD: I’m not saying we have to stop any existing programmes, but perhaps we should look carefully at future training courses.
PM: Well, I can let you have details of what we plan. I think you'll see that they are all worth- while investments.
MD: I'm sure. Anyway, let me have the programme and we'll discuss it later. We'll have to stop now. I’ve got another meeting at 2.
PM: I must go too. I've got a meeting straight away.

Section B
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.
At some time in your life, you may have a strong desire to do something strange or terrible. However, chances are that you don't act on your impulse, but let it pass instead. You know that to commit the action is wrong in some way and that other people will not accept your behavior.
Perhaps the most interesting thing about the phenomenon of tabo0 behavior. is how it can change over the years within the same society, how certain behavior. and attitude once considered taboo can become perfectly acceptable and natural at another point in time. Topics such as death, for example, were once considered so upsetting and unpleasant that it was a taboo to even talk about them. Now with the publication of important books such as On Death and Dying and Learning to Say Goodbye, people have become more aware of the importance of expressing feelings about death and, as a result, are more willing to talk about this taboo subject.
One of the newest taboos in American society is the topic of fat. Unlike many other taboos, fat is a topic that Americans talk about constantly. It's not taboo to talk about fat; it's taboo to be fat. The "in" look is thin, not fat. In the work world, most companies prefer youthful-looking, trim executives to sell their images as well as their products to the public. The thin look is associated with youth, vigor, and success. The fat person, on the other hand, is thought of as lazy and lacking in energy, self- discipline, and self-respect. In an image-conscious society like the U.S., thin is "in", fat is "out".
It's not surprising, then, that millions of Americans have been obsessed with staying slim and "in shape". The pursuit of a youthful physical appearance is not, however, the sole reason for Americans' fascination with diet and exercise. Recent research has shown the critical importance of diet and exercise for personal health. As in most technologically developed nations, the life style. of North Americans has changed dramatically during the course of the last century. Modem machines do all the physical labor that people were once forced to do by hand. Cars and buses transport us quickly from point to point. As a result of inactivity and disuse, people's bodies can easily become weak and vulnerable to disease. In an effort to avoid such a fate, millions of Americans are spending more of their time exercising.
From the passage we can infer taboo is ______.

A. a strong desire to do something strange or terrible
B. a crime committed on impulse
C. behavior. considered unacceptable in society's eyes
D. an unfavorable impression left on other people
