146. The following appeared in a memo to the board of directors of a company that specializes in the delivery of heating oil.
"Most homes in the northeastern United States, where winters are typically cold, have traditionally used oil as their major fuel for heating. Last heating season, that region experienced 90 days with below-normal temperatures, and climate forecasters predict that this weather pattern will continue for several more years. Furthermore, many new homes are being built in the region in response to recent population growth. Because of these trends, we can safely predict that this region will experience an increased demand for heating oil during the next five years."

在冬季普遍甚为寒冷的美国东北部，大多数家庭的传统是用油作为主要燃料来取暖。上个取暖季，有90天的气温低于正常值，而且天气预报说这种天气将会持续好几年。此外，由于近些年来的人口增长，在此地区又新建了很多房子。鉴于这些原因，我们预计今后五年这个地区取暖用油的需求将会增长。

147. The following recommendation was made by the president and administrative staff of Grove College, a private institution, to the college's governing committee.
"We recommend that Grove College preserve its century-old tradition of all-female education rather than admit men into its programs. It is true that a majority of faculty members voted in favor of coeducation, arguing that it would encourage more students to apply to Grove. But 80 percent of the students responding to a survey conducted by the student government wanted the school to remain all female, and over half of the alumnae who answered a separate survey also opposed coeducation. Keeping the college all female will improve morale among students and convince alumnae to keep supporting the college financially."
下面是Grove College(一家私营教育机构)校长和行政人员写给学校管理委员会的建议。
我们建议Grove College保留它的有百年历史的女校传统，不要招收男生。的确大部门教职员工投票支持男女同校，认为这样会增加招生人数。但是学生会组织的一项调查显示，80%的学生希望学校保留女校传统，并且在另外一项独立调查中超过一半的校友也反对男女同校。保持女校传统将会鼓舞学生的士气并且说服校友会继续资助学校。

150. The following appeared in a letter from a firm providing investment advice to a client.
"Homes in the northeastern United States, where winters are typically cold, have traditionally used oil as their major fuel for heating. Last year that region experienced 90 days with below-average temperatures, and climate forecasters at Waymarsh University predict that this weather pattern will continue for several more years. Furthermore, many new homes have been built in this region during the past year. Because these developments will certainly result in an increased demand for heating oil, we recommend investment in Consolidated Industries, one of whose major business operations is the retail sale of home heating oil."
