he Clear Sound Communications takeover of
local telephone service, which was originally
welcomed with great optimism, now seems to
be heading down the road toward disaster,
Ever since Clear Sound bought out the FreeTel Company
just under six months ago, it has experienced loss of
income, loss of customers, and, perhaps worst of all,
the loss ofits reputation as a company that deivers
on its promises,
When Clear Sound came into the area, it prom-
ised that alls telephone customers would have access
to high-speed Internet service by the end of the year
Not only as the company falled to deliver on this prom-

count on it when you need it," a Gear Sound customer

priced, Clear Sound, onthe other hand, claims that such
problems are minor and not widespread. “Every com-
pany experiences an adjustment period,” explained

“Before one more year has passed, you can be certain
that all operations will be running smoothly and cus-
tomers will be 100% satisfied,” he said.

opportunity to gain work experience
abroad. IEP was founded by Margery Wilson
four years ago. “When I graduated from col-
lege,” she explained, “my dream was to work
abroad for one or two years, learn another lan-
guage, and experience living in another country.
I knew J wanted to do this, but I didn’t know
how to find a job abroad. That was six years
ago. At.that time, there were no employment
agencies that specialized in helping job seekers
like myself. So 1 decided to start my own.”
T= International Experience Project (IEP)
Since its beginnings, IEP has provided jobs for
several. thousand young professionals in coun-
tries all around the world. Knowing a foreign
language helps, says Wilson, but it isn’t a pre~
requisite for all jobs. In fact, many of the com-
panies that provide employment for her clients
also provide language training. IEP finds jobs
for people in all fields, from economics to sci-
ence to teaching, “All you need is a college
degree, an interest in other countries, and an
adventurous spirit,” says Wilson,

169. What is true of the soups at Green Garden?
(A) They are made with organic
reen Garden Café recently opened downtown and is offering a
Ge of handcrafted sandwiches, along with homemade soups
and ice cream. All food served at the café is made from pure
organic ingredients. Sandwiches are made with 100% whole-grain
bread, which is baked in the café’s kitchen.
Diners are lining up to try Green Garden’s sandwiches for breakfast,
lunch, and dinner. “One of our best sellers is our breakfast sand-
wich,” explains café owner Melissa Whitehead. “It’s not your typical
bacon-and-cheese concoction. Instead, we combine eggs with fresh
vegetables and serve it on fresh-baked bread. Customers can’t seem
to get enough of it.”
You won't find the usual ham, turkey, or roast beef sandwich among
the café’s offered fare. Infact, all the food they serve is 100% vege-
tarian, Their sandwiches are filled with fresh vegetables, focally
‘made cheese, or a combination of both. “Customers enjoy our soups
and ice cream, but what they really come here for are the sand-
wiches,” says Whitehead, “That's our most popular item.”
Give the Green Garden Café a try next time you are downtown. You
won't be disappointed. The café is open six days a week: Monday-

Questions 173-176 refer to the following art
job interview is your chance to make a good impression on a poten-
tial employer, and the way you dress is an important part of the
impression you make. It is not an occasion to show how fashionably
you can dress. Rather, it is the time to present yourself as a serious.
professional who conveys a sense of confidence. The colors you wear
help to give this impression. Choose dark colors such as black, navy
blue, or charcoal gray, and stay away from warm browns and greens.
In addition to a dark color, the suit you wear should have a conserva-
tive, neatly tailored cut.
Don't forget to pay attention to details. Your accessories are an
important part of your overall look. For men this means wearing ties
with simple patterns and quiet colors. Also, men should not wear any
type of jewelry, even of the highest quality gold or silver, except for a
wristwatch or tie clip. Women should wear plain earrings. Matching
necklaces or bracelets are permissible as long as they are not gaudy Me
or loud. Ey
Finally, make sure your feet are dressed as well as the rest of you eB
Avoid any kind of fancy footwear. Your footwear should look neat and fit By
you comfortably. You may think that no one will look at your feet, but if E=
