Re: Changes at the Majestic
I’m happy to announce some exciting new changes in store for us here at the Majestic Theater. We will be closed to the public for renovations from Monday, August 9 to Friday, August 13. By the time we reopen for the Saturday matinee, the balcony in the main theater will have been made available for public seating once again, and the boxoffice will have been equipped with a modern ticketing system. It is important that everyone is aware of the following changes:
1. Because the balcony will no longer be available for storage, all of the cleaning supplies will from now on be kept in the employee break room, which will become even more crowded. I apologize for any inconvenience.
2. The new ticketing system will allow customers to purchase popcorn, drinks, and other items at the same time they purchase their movie tickets. They will be provided with vouchers that they can exchange for their purchase at the snack counter, which should shorten lines. All employees are required to attend the training session for the new ticketing system at 3:30 p.m. on August 13.
3. Our reopening will coincide with the start of the Daytime Summer Classics Film Festival, which will run from August 14 until the end of the month. As in previous years, festival tickets are half-off the price of tickets sold for regular evening features.
I would like to thank everyone in advance for helping to make this a smooth transition for our valued guests.
Mitzy Follop

解答
1. B
解析
看到"Changes at the Majestic"這個標題就可以約略地瞭解本文大概是在講哪方面的事了。第一題問的是"Why did Mitzy Follop write this memo?"文章開頭的第一、二句"Im happy to announce some exciting new changes … at the Majestic Theater. We will be closed to the public for renovations …"即可知，這是戲院「關閉整修」的通知。
選項(A)提到的"announce a new film festival …"「宣佈一個新電影節」，與"renovations"（重新裝修）無關，故不選。
選項(B)提到的"inform … recent developments."「通知最近的發展」與"announce some new changes"意思相符，為最佳答案。
選項(C)提到的"attract new customers …"「吸引顧客」與"new change"或"renovation"都無關，故不選。
選項(D)提到的"introduce new employees …"「介紹新進員工」也跟"new changes"和"renovations"無關，故亦不選。
2. B
解析
題目問的是，"What benefit of the new ticketing system is mentioned in the memo?"因此要找出"ticketing systems benefit"（新購票系統的好處）之相關資訊以回答問題。根據文中注意事項第一、二句"The new ticketing system will allow customers to purchase … at the same time they purchase their movie tickets. They will be provided with vouchers …, which should shorten lines."可知，新的購票系統可以讓顧客「在買票的同時可以順便買點心，並節省排隊時間」。
選項(A)提到的"Employees … free training."「員工免費訓練」，文中並未提及，故不選。
選項(B)提到的"Customers … faster service."「給客戶較迅速的服務」與「同一時間可買票和點心，並節省排隊時間」屬同意表達，為最佳答案。
選項(C)提到的"Staff … receive free tickets."「員工可以獲得免費票」文中並未提及，故不選。
選項(D)提到的"Movie-goers … receive discount."「看電影者可獲得小小的折扣優惠」，文中亦未提及，故亦不選。
3. C
解析
由題目"Which of the following problems might be caused by the renovations?"可判斷要找出的是：此"renovations"（裝修）可能會引發的"problems"（問題）。根據文中注意事項第一點提到的"… all of the cleaning supplies will from now on be kept in the employee break room, which will become even more crowded. I apologize for any inconvenience."可知，問題點在於「因堆放物品的關係，員工休息的空間會變小」。
選項(A)提到的"theater … closed … the end of … month."「戲院關閉的時間點」文中並未提及，故不選。
選項(B)提到"… balcony … be cleaned regularly."「包廂要定期清理」，而文中提到的是"… balcony … no longer … for storage"，兩者並不同義，故不選。
選項(C)提到"Employees … have less space …"「員工的空間變小」，正確地替換了"crowded"的意思，是最佳答案。
選項(D)提到"Customers … receive vouchers instead of tickets."「顧客會拿到兌換券而非電影票」，明顯混淆視聽，故不選。
4. C
解析
由題目"What is most likely true about the Summer Classics Film Festival?"可知要去找關於"Summer Classics Film Festival"的活動相關訊息。根據文章注意事項第三點提到的"the Daytime Summer Classics Film Festival, which will run …. As in previous years, festival tickets are half-off the price …."可知，Summer Classics Film Festival這個活動是一年舉辦一次的。
選項(A)提到的"… features … latest releases."「特色是有最新影片」在文中並未提及，故不選。
選項(B)提到的"It …be delayed …"「電影節會延後」文中也沒有被提及，故亦不選。
選項(C)"It occurs annually."正確地提到「電影節一年舉辦一次」，為最佳答案。
選項(D)"It … start at the end of the month." 說「電影節月底才會開始」，但文中提到開始的日期是"August 14"，並非月底，故為錯誤。
