14、China during the past few years and taking hold of ever-increasing retail(零售)market share, an official survey indicates. The State Economic and Trade Commission(SETC)survey shows that the annual sales volume of Chinas 20 biggest chains leapt last year by 43 percent and the number of their retail sto
15、res rose by 46.7 percent, while sales for the whole retail market grew by 10.1 percent. Shanghai Lian Hua Supermarket Company holds the top position with 14.06 billion yuan(US $ 1.7 billion)in sales and 1,225 retail stores. The statistics indicate that the biggest stores are swallowing more market s
16、hare, leaving little development space for medium and small stores, said analysts(分析家). Analysts also note that almost all the giant chains have their headquarters in East China, but they are likely to explore western regions in the near future. With Chinas entrance into the World Trade Organization
17、, its market is attracting overseas retailers too. The country is committed to opening gradually its retail business, and as a result, more chain stores from outside China will have a share of the pie.

So he turns on his radio. Then he eats breakfast. As he eats,
23、he reads his e-mail and reviews his to-do list. Then he sits on the sofa and thinks about an article he needs to write. Wait a minute! Radio? Breakfast? Sofa? What kind of workplace is this? Well, actually it is Johns house, and he is a telecommuterhe works at home, communicating with the workplace
24、through the Internet. Like John, millions of peopleand their employerare finding that telecommuting is a great way to work. Telecommuters can follow their own schedules. They work in the comfort of their homes, where they can also look after young children or elderly parents. They save time and mone
25、y by not traveling to work. Their employers save, too, because they need less office space and furniture. Studies show that telecommuters change jobs less often. This saves employers even more money. Telecommuting helps society, too, by reducing pollution and traffic problems. Jobs that are suited t
26、o telecommuting include writing, design work, computer programming and accounting(会计). If a job involves working with information, a telecommuter can probably do it.（分数：10.00）(1).From the passage we know that John does his job_.（分数：2.00）A.by telephoneB.in his officeC.away from homeD.through the Inte

Some parents complain that their children do not show them proper respect, while children complain that their parents do not understan
30、d them at all. What has gone wrong? Why has the generation gap appeared? One important cause is that young people want to choose their own life style. In more traditional societies, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to many people that their parents
31、like, and often to continue the family occupation. Parents often expect their children to do better than they do, to find better jobs, to make more money, and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, however, the high wishes that parents place on their children are another cause of t
32、he generation gap. Finally, the high speed of social changes deepens the gap. In a traditional culture, people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society today the knowledge of lifetime may be out of use overnight.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, children today expect their parents to_.（

35、ifetime_.（分数：2.00）A.is still very much valuedB.becomes out of date quicklyC.is essential for continuing family occupationD.helps the young generation to find a better job(5).A proper title for this passage would be_.（分数：2.00）A.Parents Viewpoints On Generation GapB.Relationship Between Family Members
36、C.Generation Gap Between the Young and the OldD.Difference Between Traditional Culture and Modern KnowledgeThere are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals. Short-range goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such go
37、als can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possible months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, our long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we sho
38、uld date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed. The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-range goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any
39、 time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase. Long-range goals may
