BFor 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.

共用题干Lifetime Employment in Japanese CompaniesIn 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

共用题干How Technology Pushes Down Prices1 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 120zportion 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 workforceB:huge portionsC:large quantitiesD:their moneyE:a good bargainF: minor brands

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.Most Americans surveyed believe that preschools should also attach importance to ()A、problem solvingB、group experienceC、parental guidanceD、individually-oriented development
