Huntsville(June 10)-When JNC Film Studio decided to change its business focus from animation movies to action movies, the company determined to consolidate production facilities and operations. Currently one of the largest film studios in the Midas City is an 80-year-old local film company with more than 120 employees.

Next week on June 15, Mr. Williams will give a presentation at the Huntsville Community Center. Many business owners will be invited to hear his upcoming project.

MEMO

To: All apartment residents
From: Devonshire Apartment Management Office
Date: November 30
Subject: DAMO update
Dear residents,
The winter is around the corner. In an effort to save energy, Devonshire Apartment Management Office (DAMO) has resolved to implement energy-saving measures in our apartment buildings.
Over the past three months the DAMO has upgraded electrical wiring systems, replaced traditional lights with energy-efficient lights in the parking garage, and installed solar-screen shades on south-facing windows in every building. The DAMO chief manager James Stevenson reports that these measures have resulted in a 20 percent reduction in our monthly energy use.
To help us further reduce the apartment"s energy consumption, Mr. Stevenson suggests the following guidelines:
1. Set the furnace thermostat at 68 degrees or lower. 3 percent to 5 percent more energy is used for each degree the furnace is set above 68 degrees.
2. Caulk windows, doors and anywhere air leaks in or out. Do not caulk around water heater and furnace exhaust pipes.
3. Clean or replace furnace filters regularly, following manufacturer"s instructions.
4. Fix defective plumbing or dripping faucets. A single dripping hot water faucet can waste 230 gallons of water a month. That not only increases water bills, but also increases the gas or electric bills for heating the water.
Mr. Stevenson will be conferring with every resident over the next two months to explore additional ways of conserving energy. Tenants will be contacted about setting up a time for this meeting.
24. 
What is the purpose of the memo?
A To notify apartment tenants of a power cut
B To introduce a new apartment manager
C To discuss energy-saving efforts at the apartment buildings
D To give some tips for car parking
25. 
What is NOT a suggestion made by Mr. Stevenson?
A Thermostats should be set no higher than 68 degrees.
B Windows, doors and anywhere air leaks in or out should be sealed.
C Defective plumbing or dripping faucets should be repaired.
D No more than 230 gallons of water should be used in winter months.
26. 
What task was completed by the Devonshire Apartment Management Office in the past 3 months?
A Purchasing new furnace systems for all tenants
B Replacing furnace filters at no cost to residents
C Improving the electrical wiring system in the office park
D Installing new water faucets in every apartment
27. 
The word "resolved" in paragraph 1, line 2, is closest in meaning to
A decided
B refused
C improved
D needed
28. 
What is a stated goal of Mr. Stevenson?
A To purchase upgraded thermostats
B To replace all defective furnace systems
