How Technology Pushes Down Prices
1 Prices have fallen in the food business because of advances in food production and distribution tech-
nology.Consumers have benefited greatly from those advances.People who predicted that the world would
run out of food were wrong. We are producing more and more food with less and less capital.Food is there-
fore more plentiful and cheaper than it has ever been.Spending on food compared with other goods has fallen
for many years,and continues to drop.
2 Supermarkets have helped push down prices mainly because of their scale.Like any big business,
they can invest in IT systems that make them efficient. And their size allows them to buy in bulk.As super-
markets get bigger,the prices get lower.
3 Huge retail companies such as Wal-Mart have tremendous power and they can put pressure on pro-
ducers to cut their margins.As a result,some producers have had to make cuts.In recent years,Unilever
has cut its workforce by 33,000 to 245,000 and dropped lots of its minor brands as part of its"path to
growth"strategy.Cadbury has shut nearly 20 per cent of its 133 factories and cut 10 per cent of its 55,000
global workforce.These cuts help keep costs down,and the price of food stays low.
4 Does cheap food make people unhealthy?Cheap food may encourage people to eat more.Food corn-
panies certainly think that giving people more food for their money makes them buy more.Giving people bigger
portions is an easy way of making them feel they have got a better deal.That is why portions have got larger
and larger. In America,soft drinks came in 80z(225 g)cans in the past,then 120z(350g),and now
come in 200z(550g)cans.If a company can sell you an 80z portion for$7,they can sell you a 120z
portion for$8.The only extra cost to the company is the food,which probably costs 25 cents.
5 Now companies are under pressure to stop selling bigger portions for less money.But it is hard to
change the trend.Some food producers have reduced__________.
A:their workforce
B:huge portions
C:large quantities
D:their money
E:a good bargain
F: minor brands答案：D解析：文章第一段的主题句是第一句。这段主要讲食物价格下降的原因是生产和分配技术 的发展。
文章第二段主要讲的是超级市场因为规模大，能引进先进技术，故能提供低价格的 商品。
由文章第三段主题句“Huge retail companies...can put pressure on producers to cut theirmargins.”可知，超级零售商能迫使生产商降低商品价格。
文章第四段讲的是，食品公司给顾客提供每份量大的商品，能很容易使顾客感觉到他 们得到了一个大的折扣，这样顾客会买更多的商品。因此每份量大的食品价格便宜。
文章第二段提到“And their size allows them to buy in bulk.”其中in bulk = in large quantities。
文章第三段提到“As a result, some producers have had to make cuts."make cuts的意思 是“降价”。
文章第三段提到“Unilever...dropped lots of its minor brands...”由此可知答案为F。
文章第四段提到“Giving people bigger portions is an easy way of making them feel they have got a better deal.”其中a better deal = a good bargain。 -

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage. In a time of low academic achievement by children in the United States, many Americans are turning to Japan, a country of high academic achievement and economic success, for possible answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find. In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is put on academic instruction. In one investigation, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents (答问卷者) listed “to give children a good start academically” as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. In contrast, over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices. To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese schools do not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as persistence, concentration, and the ability to function as a member of a group. The vast majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents. In the recent comparison of Japanese and American preschool education, 91 percent of Japanese respondents chose providing children with a group experience as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. Sixty-two percent of the more individually oriented (强调个性发展的) Americans listed group experience as one of their top three choices. An emphasis on the importance of the group seen in Japanese early childhood education continues into elementary school education. Like in America, there is diversity in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential development. In large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary and secondary schools. Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the children’s chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated schools and universities. Several more progressive programs have introduced free play as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing in some Japanese kindergartens. Why do some Japanese parents send their children to university-based kindergartens?（）
- A、They can do better in their future studies.
- B、They can accumulate more group experience there.
- C、They can be individually oriented when they grow up.
- D、They can have better chances of getting a first-rate education

For several years，Americans have enjoyed teleshopping-watching TV and buying things by phone． Now，teleshopping is starting in Europe．ln a number of European countries，people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes，jewelry，food，toys and many others things．
Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden． For example，the biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries，and in one year it made $ 100 million．In France，there are two teleshopping channels，and the French spend $ 20 million a year to buy things through those channels．
In Germany，until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for one hour ev-ery day． Then the government allowed more teleshopping． Other channels can open for telebusi-ness，including teleshopping companies． German businesses are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things．
Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes． With all the problems of traffic in the cities，this is an important reason．But at the same time，other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping． They call teleshopping "just on the air． "Many Europeans usually worry about the quality of the things for sale on TV． Good quality is important to them，and they believe they can't be sure about the quality of the things on TV．
The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will be different from the American companies． They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell． They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers can-t touch or see in person．
( )26．In which country people can go teleshopping?
A． America and all the European countries．
B． Australia and some European countries．
C． The USA and many European countries．
D． America and many developed countries．
正确答案：C

Lifetime Employment in Japanese Companies
In most large Japanese companies,there is a policy of lifetime employment.What this means is that when people leave school or university to join an enterprise,they can expect to remain with that organization until they retire.In effect,the employee gets job security for life,and can only be fired for serious mistakes in work.Even in times of business recession,he or she is free from the fear of being laid off.
One result of this practice is that the Japanese worker identifies closely with his company and feels strong loyalty to it.By working hard for the company,he believes he is safeguarding his own future.It is not surprising that devotion to one's company is considered a great virtue in Japan.A man is often prepared to put his firm's interests before those of his immediate family.
The job security guaranteed by this system influences the way employees approach their work.They tend to think in terms of what they can achieve throughout their career.This is because they are not judged on how they are performing during a short period of time.They can afford to take a longer perspective than their western counterparts.
This marriage between the employee and the company-the consequence of lifetime employment-may explain why Japanese workers seem positively to love the products their company is producing and why they are willing to stay on after work,for little overtime pay,to participate in earnest discussions about the quality control of their products.All the Japanese company's products have high quality and lower price.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned答案：C解析：由第一段第三句“In effect , the employee gets job security for life , and can only be fired forserious mistakes in work.”可知，员工如果在工作中犯严重错误，就会被辞退，可见日本的终身雇佣制并非意味着员工可以在工作中犯严重错误。
根据第二段第四句可知，日本员工时刻准备着把公司的利益放在他的直系亲属的利益的前面。由此可知，日本员工把公司利益看得比家庭利益重要。
根据第二段第二句“By working hard for the company , he believes he is safeguarding hisown future.”可知，日本员工通过努力工作来保证他自己能够有个好未来。
根据第三段第一、四句可知，终身雇佣制会影响员工的职业选择，与西方国家的员工相比，他们在选择职业方面的目光更长远。
根据第四段可知，终身雇佣制使日本员工与公司关系亲密，这也使他们比较喜爱自己公司的产品。
本篇文章只在第四段提到了日本公司的产品，指出日本员工比较喜爱他们公司的产品，并在结尾处讲到，尽管加班费不多，日本员工也常常加班讨论产品质量的控制，可没有提到他们的产品是否物美价廉。
本篇文章主要介绍了日本的终身雇佣制以及终身雇佣制对员工的影响，而非对终身雇佣制的评价。 -

单选题Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage. In a time of low academic achievement by children in the United States, many Americans are turning to Japan, a country of high academic achievement and economic success, for possible answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find. In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is put on academic instruction. In one investigation, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents (答问卷者) listed “to give children a good start academically” as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. In contrast, over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices. To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese schools do not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as persistence, concentration, and the ability to function as a member of a group. The vast majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents. In the recent comparison of Japanese and American preschool education, 91 percent of Japanese respondents chose providing children with a group experience as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. Sixty-two percent of the more individually oriented (强调个性发展的) Americans listed group experience as one of their top three choices. An emphasis on the importance of the group seen in Japanese early childhood education continues into elementary school education. Like in America, there is diversity in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential development. In large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary and secondary schools. Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the children’s chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated schools and universities. Several more progressive programs have introduced free play as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing in some Japanese kindergartens. Why do some Japanese parents send their children to university-based kindergartens?（）AThey can do better in their future studies.
BThey can accumulate more group experience there.
CThey can be individually oriented when they grow up.
DThey can have better chances of getting a first-rate education
