26、 Simply being quiet is a growing appeal. Lots of business have appeared to meet a rising demand for quiet time, from silent weekend getaways to silent dining, silent reading parties and even silent dating. Silence can mean different things to different people. We are usually silent only with those closest to us. So there is something almost radical(不同凡响的)about the recent trend towards enjoying silence with strangers.
Mariel started a regular silent reading party in Dundee just under a year ago. Readers bring their books and meet in a bar, where they read together in silence for an hour or sometimes two and then put their books away to chat and have a drink. “When the reading party starts, everything goes quiet,” says Mariel, “ It’s a little bit surreal (超现实的), especially in what is usually a noisy bar. However, there is something special about sharing the silence with others. It offers a chance to escape from reality; everyone is so busy with work and with technology being ever present. An event like this gives people the opportunity to escape these things for a while.”
Honi Ryan is an artist based in Berlin who began hosting silent dinner back in 2006. The rules of the dinner are: no talking, no using your voice, no reading or writing, trying to make as little noise as possible, not connecting with technology, and staying for at least two hours. So far she has taken her silent dinner project to Mexico, the US, Australia and China. “It’s evident that the age-old connections we make over food do not depend on the words around it. Silence creates the space for the people and places involved to fill with whatever is needed; it is quite different from our usual social behaviors.”
【1】Why have lots of silent businesses appeared?
A.To satisfy people’s demand for silence.
B.To make people get close to each other.
C.To appeal to young people.
D.To change people’s old way of life.
【2】What can we learn about Mariel’s silent reading parties?
A.Readers can use their voice while reading.
B.Readers can be busy with their work.
C.Readers can connect with technology.
D.Readers can chat and drink after reading.
【3】The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to .
A.noise B.space C.silence D.food
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Escape from Reality. B.Enjoying Being Quiet.
C.Silent Reading Parties. D.Silent Dining Projects.
27、Wal-Mart is not just the world's largest retailer (零售商). It's the world's largest company, which sells in three months what number-two retailer Home Depot sells in a year.
Wal-Mart exercises its power for just one purpose: to bring the lowest possible prices to its customers. At Wal-Mart, that goal is never reached. The retailer has a clear policy for suppliers: On basic products that don't change, the price Wal-Mart will pay, and will charge shoppers, must drop year after year. But what almost no one outside the world of Wal-Mart and none of its 21,000 suppliers know is the high cost of those low prices. To survive in the face of its pricing demands, makers of everything from bikes to jeans have had to close US plants in favor of obtaining products from abroad.
Indeed, the real story of Wal-Mart, the story that never gets told, is the story of the pressure the biggest retailer constantly applies to its suppliers in the name of bringing us "every day low prices".
The giant retailer' s low prices often come with a high cost. Wal-Mart' s pressure can crush the companies it does business with and force them to send jobs overseas. Are we shopping our way straight to the unemployment line? Of course, US companies have been moving jobs offshore for decades, long before Wal-Mart was a retailing power. But there is no question that the chain is helping accelerate the loss of American jobs to low-wage countries such as Thailand.
People ask, "How can it be bad for things to come into the US cheaply?" Sure, it's great to have bargains. But you can' t buy anything if you' re not employed.
There is no question that Wal-Mart's drive to squeeze out cost has benefited consumers. By now, it is accepted wisdom that Wal-Mart makes the companies it does business with more efficient and focused. Wal-Mart itself is known for continuous improvement in its ability to handle, move, and track goods. It is legendary (传奇) for forcing its suppliers to redesign everything from their packaging to their computer systems. It is also legendary for quite straightforwardly telling them what it will pay for their goods.
【1】How do suppliers meet the requirements of Wal-Mart?
A.To sell even more goods in three months.
B.To cut down the employment rate sharply.
C.To charge shoppers at a much higher price.
D.To run the business in a well-organized way.
【2】Wal-Mart's low price policy results in ____.
A.more high-paying jobs
B.better designed packages
C.bigger profit of its partners
D.more jobless American workers
【3】What can we infer from the passage?
A.Still more quality goods will be provided.
B.The food you get at Wal-Mart costs least.
C.The value of Mal-Mart is over assessed.
D.Wal-Mart is a very demanding company.
【4】What's the best title for the passage?
A.The Fortune Wal-Mart Makes
B.The Wal-Mart you don't Know
C.The Biggest Retailer—Wal-Mart
D.The Money Saving Tip in Wal-Mart
