Questions 68 through 71 refer to the following notice.
Notice to All Employees
As part of our “Good Health” policy, we wish to inform our employees of the new no-smoking
policy in the office. In order to create a clean working environment, smoking is no longer allowed
in the office break-room or in the restrooms. All offices, of course, remain no smoking areas. The
only area in which smoking will be allowed is the new smoking lobby near the parking area.
Although this is outdoors, it is a covered area. Therefore it is possible to use it in all weather
conditions. Also, we are not allowing smoke breaks longer than five minutes for every hour
period. This means that smokers may take a five-minute break each hour of work or a ten-minute
break every two hours of work. We will not be monitoring workers, but we do expect you to stick
to this timing. For a cooperative office atmosphere, we need workers to feel that everyone is

SUBJECT: Evaluation of PSI Seminar in Salt Lake City
After attending the Professional Secretaries International Convention in Salt Lake City, July 20-25,1
recommend that at least one support staff member have the opportunity to attend each year. The
information distributed at the convention is extremely valuable and will be beneficial to all support staff at
Western Bank. This was the third time I have attended a PSI convention, but it was the first time my
attendance has been subsidized by Western Bank.
The sessions ranged from technical to practical to personal. Even with the variety of the sessions, nearly
all workshops discussed expanding and enhancing the contribution of secretaries in the workplace. The
sessions I attended were as follows:
1. Office Automation in the 21" century
2. Anatomy of a Merger
3. How to Get Your Article Published in The Secretary
4. Secretarial Stress: The Hidden and Controlling Factor
Over 50 companies exhibited the latest in office technology, demonstrating everything from fax
machines to filing systems. The convention was truly outstanding, and I consider it an essential part of my
professional development. I will be sharing what I learned with the other office professionals at Western
Bank at our monthly meeting later this month.

(A) She thinks it is unreasonable.
(B) She hopes the Judith will reconsider.
(C) She thinks it is a wonderful idea.
