Good morning, everyone. This is an important update regarding our second-quarter earnings. We've seen remarkable growth, with revenues exceeding projections by 15%. Net profit has also seen a substantial increase of 22% compared to the same period last year, largely driven by strong international sales and a streamlined operational efficiency. Our expansion into new markets is proving highly successful. While we're pleased with these results, we remain focused on future endeavors. We're particularly excited about the potential of our new digital platform, which we anticipate will further boost our Q4 performance. We also want to remind our shareholders that our annual general meeting is scheduled for next month, where we'll delve deeper into our strategic roadmap. Details regarding the meeting, including virtual access for those unable to attend in person, will be circulated shortly.

📝 答案解析 — 雖然文章中提到了第二季營收的亮眼表現，但並沒有提及年度股東大會的召開時間。題目問的是「年會」的預定時間，在提供的文章片段與選項中，都沒有直接或間接的資訊可以回答這個問題。考生需要辨別文章內容與問題的關聯性。
💡 應試技巧 — 聽/讀對話或廣播時，要特別注意所有與「會議」、「會議時間」、「會議日期」等相關的關鍵詞。即使文章內容有其他數字或報表資訊，也要確保與問題核心（即會議時間）的連接。
📊 錯誤選項分析 — X) 下一季 — 文章是關於第二季的營收報告，並沒有提及下一季的任何會議安排。X) 下個月 — 文章內容集中在第二季的財務表現，並未提及任何特定月份的會議。X) 第四季底 — 文章沒有提供任何關於第四季或年底會議的資訊。
