B

More People Are Leaving the Rat Race for the Simple Life

Time is more precious than money for an increasing number

of people who are choosing to live more with less—and liking it.

Kay and Charles Giddens, two lawyers, sold their home to

start a B&B hotel. Four years later, the couple dishes out banana

pancake breakfast, cleans toilets and serves homemade

chocolate chip cookies to guests in a B&B hotel surrounded by

trees on a hill known for colorful sunsets.

“Do I miss the freeways? Do I miss the traffic? Do I miss the

stress? No,” says Ms. Giddens, “This is a phenomenon that’s

fairly widespread. A lot of people are reevaluating their

lives and figuring out what they want to do. If their base is

being damaged, what’s the payoff?”

Simple living ranges from cutting down on weeknight

activities to sharing housing, living closer to work, avoiding

shopping malls, borrowing books from the library instead of

buying them, and taking a cut in pay to work at a more

pleasurable job.

Vicki Robin, a writer, lives on a budget equal to a fifth of what

she used to make. “You become conscious about where your

money is going and how valuable it is,” Ms. Robin says, “You

tend not to use things up. You cook at home rather than eat out…”

Janet Luhrs, a lawyer, quit her job after giving birth and

leaving her daughter with a nanny for two weeks. “It was not

the way I wanted to raise my kids,” she says, “Simplicity is not

just about saving money; it’s about me sitting down every night with my kids to a candlelit dinner with classical music.”

Mrs. Luhrs now edits a magazine, Simple Living, which

publishes tips on how to buy recycled furniture and shoes,

organize potluck dinners instead of expensive receptions, and

generally how to consume less.

“It’s not about poverty,” Mrs. Luhrs explains, “It’s about

conscious living and creating the life you want. The less stuff you

buy, the less money goes out of the door, and the less money

you have to earn.”

59. Kay and Charles Giddens sold their home to ______.

A. pay off the debt B. start a private hotel

C. cut down expenses D. buy living necessities

60. Simple living includes ______.

A. building a home library B. living in the countryside

C. enjoying a colorful night life D. sharing housing with

others

61. It can be learned from the passage that now Janet Luhrs

______.

A. spends more time with her kids B. has an interest in

classical music

C. works as a reporter of a magazine D. helps people buy

recycled clothes

62. How does the author develop the passage?

A. By using figures. B. By asking questions.

C. By giving examples. D. By making comparisons.

C

Showrooming

One of the biggest challenges facing brick-and-mortar

retailers(实体零售店) in recent years has been the

“showrooming”. Driven by the desire to get the best prices, many shoppers are now visiting brick-and-mortar stores to

personally check on products that interest them, only to leave

and then buy the items online. The new trend is forcing retailers

to find out new ways to keep consumers from leaving their store

for cheaper prices online.

Recent research found that 40 percent of U.S. shoppers have

showroomed previously, with big-box retailers suffering the most.

Specifically, the study shows that Best Buy, Walmart and Target

are the most likely brick-and-mortar stores to have shoppers test

out a product in-store and then purchase it online later, while

Amazon is benefiting most from the practice, with nearly 60

percent of shoppers using the online retail giant(巨人) most often

to make their showrooming purchases.

Smartphones have pushed showrooming into the front.

Shoppers no longer have to wait until they get home to see if

they can find a cheaper price for the products they’re

considering buying. With smartphones, consumers can now

compare virtual prices, at both other brick-and-mortar stores and

online ones while still inside a retail store. If they can find what

they’re seeking for less online, the majority will be seeking the

first exit. A recent study showed that 45 percent of customers

shopping at brick-and-mortar stores walk out and buy their

purchase online for a discount of as little as 2.5 percent.

This puts pressure on retailers to provide both an in-store

experience worth staying for and an online presence that can

attract shoppers who are showrooming in other businesses.

To cut down on showrooming, many retailers are adopting

new methods to keep shoppers in their stores. Among the steps

they’re taking are price-matching guarantees that allow

shoppers to pay a discounted price if they find it cheaper online.

Part A: Reading Aloud

录像原文:根据音频朗读并标出重音′、停顿 / 、连读⌒、升调↗、降调↘,并注意黑体单词音标。

In the heart of London sits one of Britain’s most recognisable buildings. Yet its story is one of

the least understood. But what is now the site of a spendid palace was once open countryside. As

royal residences go, Buckingham Palace is something of a newcomer. The state rooms are less

than 200 years old. Yet its history is much older and more dramatic than you might think. Its

rooms are filled with objects that are clues to the character of kings and queens past. And the art

and architecture combine to make a statement about Britain’s place in the world.
