15、n)in sales and 1,225 retail stores.The statistics indicate that the biggest stores are swallowing more market share, 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 a
16、re likely to explore western regions in the near future. With Chinas entrance into the World Trade Organization, its market is attracting overseas retailers too.

22、r John to start work. So he turns on his radio. Then he eats breakfast. As he eats, he reads his e-mail and reviews his to-do list.

23、s house, and he is a telecommuterhe works at home, communicating with the workplace 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
24、they can also look after young children or elderly parents. They save time and money by not traveling to work. Their employers save, too, because they need less office space and furniture.

25、ps society, too, by reducing pollution and traffic problems.Jobs that are suited to telecommuting include writing, design work, computer programming and accounting(会计).

Some parents complain that their children do not show them proper respect, whil
29、e children complain that their parents do not understand 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
30、 as their parents, to many people that their parents 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 pa
31、rents place on their children are another cause of the 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.51 According to the passage, c
32、hildren today expect their parents to_.（A）give them more independence（B） choose a good job for them（C） live together with them（D）make more money52 Parents often hope that their children will_.（A）make as much money as they do（B） be more successful than they are（C） choose jobs according to their own w

35、een Family Members（C） Generation Gap Between the Young and the Old（D）Difference Between Traditional Culture and Modern Knowledge55 There 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 o
36、n a daily basis. Such goals 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
37、short-term goals, we should 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
38、 for several years. Any 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 increas
39、e.Long-range goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing.
