Dear Sir,
    I have to travel every day from Souk Road to the airport. Two buses travel along their route (路線): the
number 49 and number 16. But by the time the number 16 bus reaches Souk Road it is always full, so I can't
get on it. I have to wait for the number 49, because sometimes there are empty seats on it.
    The timetable says that there are buses from Souk Road to the airport every ten minutes. If this is so, why
do I have to wait half an hour for a bus nearly every day?
    The regulations say that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where people are
waiting. Why do the half-empty buses go straight past me when I am standing at the bus stop?
    The regulations say that no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers and 20 standing passengers.
Yesterday I was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport. I counted the other passengers as they
got off. There were 129 of them.
    It is clear that our bus companies break the regulations and think little of their passengers. Can nothing be
done to make your service better? 
                                                                                                                                     Yours
                                                                                                                                    Tired passenger

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

If you need extra employment support because of a disability, your local job center put you in touch with one of their Disability Employment Advisers(DEA). Disability Employment Advisers can give you help and support regardless of your situation. They can help you find work or gain new skills even if you have been out of work for a long time, or if you have little or no working experience.

   Referral service

   Your DEA can offer you an employment assessment to identify what type of work or training suits you best and also offer you a work program designed to help disabled people, like the Job Introduction Scheme, WORKSTEP or Access to Work. The DEA can let you know about jobs that match your experience and skills and offer you more work information.

   Employment assessments

   An important employment assessment can help you identify your abilities. Your employment assessment will usually take place at your local Job centre. You will have an interview with your DEA, which is an opportunity for you to talk about your skills and abilities and any previous working experience you may have. As part of the assessment, you may be asked to carry out some practical tasks and written work. These tasks will be similar to common tasks involved in various types of work. The assessment may take half a day or longer, depending on your individual needs. The DEA will discuss the length of your assessment with you beforehand.

   After the assessment

   You and your DEA will talk about your assessment and agree on an action plan to help you achieve your job goals. Your action plan may include training or taking part in the “Work Preparation” program.
