Kamprad's wares included anything that he could sell for profits at low prices,including watches,pens and stockings.3 .IKEA first began to sell furniture through a mail-order catalogue in 1947.the furniture was all designed and made by manufactures near Kamprad's home.Initial sales were very encouraging,so Kamprad expanded the product line.Furniture was such a successful aspect of the business that IKEA became solely a furniture company in 1951. 4 .In 1953 IKEA opened its first showroom in Almhult,Sweden.IKEA is known today for its spacious stress with furniture in attractive settings,but in the early 1950s, people ordered from catalogues.Thus response to the first showroom was overwhelming:people loved being able to see and try the furniture before buying it.This led to increased sales and the company continued to thrive.By 1955,IKEA was designing all its own furniture.5 .In 1956 Kamprad saw a man disassembling a table to make it easier to transport.Kamprad was inspired.The man had given him a great idea:flat packaging.Flat packaging would mean lower shipping costs for IKEA and lower prices for customers.IKEA tried it and sales soared.The problem was that people had to assemble furniture themselves,but over time, even this grew into an advantage for IKEA.Nowadays,IKEA is often seen as having conno-tations of self-sufficiency.This image has done wonders for the company,leading to better sales and continued expansion.6 .Today there are over 200 stores in 32 countries.Amazingly,Ingvar Kamprad has man-aged to keep IKEA a privately-held company.In 2004 he was named the world's richest man.He currently lives in Switzerland and is retired from the day-today operations of IKEA.IKEA itself,though,just keeps on growing.______,and years later became a big company specialized in manufacturing and selling of furniture.A:IKEA began as a small store'selling all kinds of things of low pricesB:it is highly welcomed by bothC:Ingvar Kamprad showed interest in and talent for doing businessD:he lives happily in retirementE:Here they can see and and try the furniture they are going to buy F:Ingvar successfully manages the company all by himself

It seems obvious that you don"t give away your product for free but this is exactly what indie rock group The Crimea did earlier this year. The band"s reasoning goes like this: more people will download the free album than would pay for it. Therefore more people will heat. The Crimea"s music. These people will then pay money for concerts by the band and perhaps buy a T-shirt or other merchandise. If the band play regular concerts to crowds of 200 or 300 people they can make more money than they would from sales of a CD. There will always be some people who want something they can hold in their hands so they will release the CD into the shops too—but making money through sales of their music isn"t the top priority.The story illustrates the creative thinking going on in the music business in response to dramatic changes over the last few years in the way that people buy music. Sales of music digitally—to computer, phones and MP3 players rose to $2 billion in 2006—an increase of almost 100 percent on the previous year—yet overall record company sales are down. People are simply not buying CDs in record shops in anything like the numbers they used to.This trend looks set to continue, so the big question for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage the move to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling to unacceptable levels.There are both positive and negative signs. On the plus side, more and more people are buying music on mobile phones, which allows people to make impulse purchases—they can buy a song as soon as they hear it. Research by the UK mobile operator 3 suggested that 75 percent of 16 to 24-year-olds wanted to buy a track they liked as soon as they heard it. With so much competition for people"s disposable income, a product that you can sell immediately is a big advantage.The bad news for record companies, however, is the amount of music that is downloaded illegally. Piracy—usually in the form of cheaply copied CD—has long been an issue for the music business but the Internet means music can be copied and distributed freely through file-sharing sites on a large scale than ever before.It is this situation that leads bands to start giving away their music for free and promises to make the next few years a very interesting time in the music business.The Crimea hope to make money ().A、through CD salesB、by giving concerts and selling T-shirts and other merchandiseC、by selling merchandise on the InternetD、through sales of merchandise in shops
