B. 办公室工作
Brenda works for pany which produces furniture. She works in an office, which is just opposite the factory where the furniture is made. This is how she spends her day:
She works at puter (在电脑上工作) most of the time, where she writes letters and reports.
She answers phone calls, mostly from retailers (=shops selling the factory’s furniture 零售商).
She makes phone calls to retailers, and the factory making the furniture.
She sends invoices to customers. (=paper showing products sold and the money to pay 寄出发票)
She shows visitors around the factory (带来访者参观).
She does general paperwork (做一般性文书工作), .. filing reports, writing memos, answering letters.
She arranges meetings (安排会议) for her boss and other managers in pany.
C. 工厂的“生产车间”
This is where products are manufactured (=made 生产). Modern factories have fewer workers than in the past – this is because of automation (=machines do most of the work 自动化), and most factories use an assembly line (=an arrangement in which each worker makes a part of the product and then passes it on to the next person or machine 生产线).
On an assembly line, workers fit / assemble (组装) the different parts, and supervisors (=people in charge /control 监管人员) check / inspect / examine (检验) each stage to make sure the product meets the required standard (=is good enough 达到标准).
