Unit 8Nothing is to be got without pains but poverty.P art ADirections：Read the following texts. Answer the questions blow each text by choosing [A],[B],[C] or [D].Text 1Traffic statistics paint a gloomy picture. To help solve their traffic woes, some rapidly growing U.S. cities have simply built more roads. But traffic experts say building more roads is a quick-fix solution that will not alleviate the traffic problem in the long run. Soaring land costs, increasing concern over social and environmental disruptions caused by road-building, and the likelihood that more roads can only lead to more cars and traffic are powerful factors bearing down on a 1950s-style constructions program.The goal of smart-highway technology is to make traffic systems work at optimum efficiency by treating the road and the vehicles traveling on them as an integral transportation system. Proponents of this advanced technology say electronic detection systems, closed-circuit television radio communication, ramp metering, variable message signing, and other smart highway technology can now be used at a reasonable cost to improve communication between drivers and the people who monitor traffic.Pathfinder, a Santa Monica, California-based smart-highway project in which a 14-mile stretch of the Santa Monica Freeway, making up what is called a “smart corridor”, is being instrumented with buried loops in the pavement.Closed-circuit television cameras survey the flow of traffic, while communications linked to properly equipped automobiles advise motorists of the least congested routes or detours.Not all traffic experts, however, look to smart-highway technology as the ultimate solution to traffic gridlock. Some say the high-tech approach is limited and can only offer temporary solutions to a serious problem.“Electronics on the highway addresses just one aspect of the problem: how to regulate traffic more efficiently,”explains Michael Renner, senior researcher at the Worldwatch Institute.“It doesn’t deal with the central problems of too many cars for roads that can’t be built fast enough. It sends people the wrong message.”“They start thinking …Yes, there used to be a traffic congestion problem, but that’s been solved now because we have an advanced high-tech system in place.‟” Larson agrees and adds, “Smart highways is just one of the tools that we will use to deal with our traffic problems. It’s not the solution itself, just part of the package. There are different strategies.”Other traffic problem-solving options being studied and experimented which include car pooling, rapid mass-transit systems, staggered or flexible work hours, and road pricing, a system whereby motorists pay a certain amount for the time they use a highwayIt seems that we need a new, major thrust to deal with the traffic problems of the next 20 years. There has to be a big change.1. The compound word “quick-fix”(Line 4, Paragraph 1) most probably means[A] best [B] helpful [C] ready [D]efficient2. According to the text, the smart highway technology is aimed to[A] integrate the road and the vehicles on them into a transportation system[B] advise motorists of the least congested routes.[C] optimize the highway capabilities.[D] improve communication between driver and the traffic monitors.3.Which of the following is true of Pathfinder?[A] It‟s a good example of smart highway technology.[B] It‟s a project of a 14-mile stretch of freeway.[C] It's a smart corridor dealing with traffic problems.[D] It offers ultimate solutions to a serious traffic problem.4. According to Larson, to deal with the traffic problem,[A] car pooling must be studied.[B] rapid mass transit systems must be introduced.[C] flexible work hours must be experimented.[D] overall strategies must be coordinated.5. Which of the following is the best title for this text?[A] Smart Highway Projects — The Ultimate Solution to Traffic Congestion.[B] A Quick-fix Solution for the Traffic Problems.[C] A Venture to Remedy Traffic Woes.[D] Highways Get Smart — Part of the Package to Relieve Traffic Gridlock.Text2America’s economic recovery remains uncomfortably weak. The latest data show industrial production falling while the trade deficit soars to record levels. To round off a dismal week for economic statistics, the Fed announced that industrial production fell by 0.2% in December compared with the previous month. That came as a disappointment to economists who had been expecting a small rise. Monthly data are always unreliable, of course; there is always a plausible explanation for unexpectedly bad (or good) news. But nearly all recent economic statistics point to the same conclusion —that America’s recovery remains sluggish and erratic. It could put pressure on the Fed to consider cutting interest rates again when its policy-making committee meets at the end of the month.The biggest obstacle to healthier economic performance, though, is political. As the Fed’s chairman, Alan Greenspan, acknowledged in the closing months of 2002, uncertain about the future is holding both investors and consumers back. The shadowy threat of international terrorism and the much more explicit prospect of a war with Iraq have made many Americans nervous about the future. For businesses still reeling from the speed at which the lat e-1990s boom turned toslump, the political climate is one more reason to put off investing in new plant and equipment or hiring new staff. For consumers, for so long the mainstay of the American economy, the thrill of the shopping mall seems, finally, to be on the wane.It is hard to put a favorable interpretation on most of the data. But it is important to keep a sense of perspective.Some recent figures look disappointing partly because they fall short of over-optimistic forecasts —a persistent weakness of those paid to predict the economic future, no matter how often they are proved wrong. The Fed will be watching carefully for further signs of weakness during the rest of the month. Mr. Greenspan is an avid, even obsessive, consumer of economic data. He has made it clear that the Fed stands ready to reduce interest rates again if it judges it necessary —even after 12 cuts in the past two years. At its last meeting, though, when it kept rates on hold, the Fed signaled that it did not expect to need to reduce rates any further.Monetary policy still offers the best short-term policy response to weak economic activity, and with inflation low the Fed still has scope for further relaxation. President Bush’s much- vaunted fiscal stimulus is unlikely to provide appropriate help, and certainly not in a timely way.6.Which of the following best describes Americas economic situation now?[A] It is flourishing.[B] It faces an uncertain future.[C] It remains depressing.[D] It shows unreliable signs.7.The figure 0.2% in paragraph 1 indicates that[A] America’s economic recovery is still shaky.[B] Economists are disappointed at the future economy.[C] It is a good sign for America’s economic recovery.[D] The biggest obstacle to healthier economic performance is political.8.What factor makes investors put off investing in new plant and equipment?[A] The sluggish economic situation.[B] The direct threat of international terrorism.[C] The possibility of international terrorism.[D] Investors‟ shortage of capital.9.What is the writer’s attitude toward some recent figures mentioned in paragraph 3?[A] Optimistic. [B] Skeptical.[C] Worrisome.[D] Critical10.How does monetary policy offer help for weak economic activity?[A] It can stimulate investment in new plant and equipment.[B] It can reduce interest rates so as to stimulate weak economic activity.[C] The Fed tries to keep inflation low.[D] President Bush can offer appropriate monetary policy.Text 3“I want to criticize the social system, and to show it at work, at its most intense.”Virginia Woolf’s provocative statement about her intentions in writing Mrs. Dalloway has regularly been ignored by the critics, since it highlights an aspect of her literary interests very different from the traditional picture of the “poetic”novelist concerned with examining states of reverie and visionand with following the intricate pathways of individual consciousness. But Virginia Woolf was a realistic as well as a poetic novelist, a satirist and social critic as well as a visionary: literary critic‟s cavalier dismissal of Woolf’s social vision will not withstand scrutiny.In her novels, Woolf is deeply engaged by the questions of how individuals are shaped (or deformed) by their social environments, how historical forces impinge on people’s lives, how class, wealth, and gender help to determine people’s fates. Most of her novels are rooted in a realistically rendered social setting and in a precise historical time.Woolf’s focus on society’s has not been generally recognized because of her intense antipathy to propaganda in art. The pictures of reformers in her novels are usually satiric or sharply critical. Even when Woolf is fundamentally sympathetic to their causes, she portrays people anxious to reform their society and possessed of a message or program as arrogant or dishonest, unaware of how their political ideas serve their own psychological needs. (Her Writer’s Diary notes: “the only honest people are the artists, whereas those social reformers and philanthropists ...harbor...discreditable desires under the disguise of loving their kind ...”) Woolf detested what she called “preaching”in fiction, too, and criticized novelist D. H. Lawrence (among others) for working by this method.Woolf’s own social criticism is expressed in the language of observation rather than in direct commentary, since for her, fiction is a contemplative, not an active art. She describes phenomena and provides materials for a judgment about society and social issues; it is the reader’s work to put the observations together and understand the coherent point of view behind them. As a moralist, Woolf words by indirection, subtly undermining officially accepted mores, mocking, suggesting, calling into question, rather than asserting, advocating, bearing witness: hers is the satirist’s art.Woolf’s literary models were acute social observers like Chekhov and Chaucer. As she put it in The Common Reader, “It is safe to say that not a single law has been framed or one stone set upon another because of anything Chaucer said or wrote; and yet, as we read him, we are absorbing morality at every pore.” Like Chaucer, Woolf chose to understand as well as to judge, to know her society‟s root and branch —a decision crucial in order to produce art rather than polemic.11. What‟s the autho‟s attitude towards the literary critics mentioned in paragraph 1?[A] scornful. [B] ironic.[C] joking. [D] disappointed.12.According to the text, Woolf realistically described the social setting in her novels in that[A] she was aware that literary critics considered the novel to be the most realistic.[B] she was interested in the effect of social condition on people‟s characters and actions.[C] she needed to be attentive to details to support the arguments she advanced.[D] she wished to prevent critics from charging her for an ambiguous and inexact style.13. According to the text,Woolf chose Chaucer as a literary model because she believed that[A] he was the first English author to focus on society as well as on individual characters.[B] he was an honest author trying to asserting, advocating bearing witness.[C] he was more concerned with calling the society‟s accepted mores into question.[D]his writing was greatly, if subtly, effective in influencing the moral attitudes of his readers.14. Which of the following is true according to the text?[A] Woolf showed herself to be sympathetic to the reformers in her writings.[B] Woolf criticized D.H. Lawrence for the realistic settings in his novels.[C] Woolf didn't remarked on the social issues directly in her novels.[D] Literary critics had ignored the social criticism in the works of Chekhov and Chaucer.15. Which would be the best title for this text?[A] A Key to Understanding Virginia Woolf’s Novels.[B] Poetry and Satire as Influences on the Novels of Virginia Woolf.[C] Virginia Woolf’s Comment on the Twentieth Century Novel.[D] Virginia Woolf’s Novels’Reflections on the Individual and Society.Text 4Age has its privileges in America, and one of the more prominent of them is the senior citizen discount. Anyone who has reached a certain age ―in some cases as low as 55 ―is automatically entitled to a dazzling array of price reductions at nearly every level of commercial life. Eligibility is determined not by one‟s need but by the date on one‟s birth certificate. Practically unheard of a generation ago, the discounts have become a routine part of many businesses-as common as color televisions in model rooms and free coffee on airliners.People with gray hair often are given the discounts without even asking for them: yet, millions of Americans above age 60 are healthy and solvent. Businesses that would never dare offer discounts to college students or anyone under 30 freely offer them to older Americans. The practice is acceptable because of the widespread belief that "elderly" and "needy" are synonymous. Perhaps that once was true, but today elderly Americans as a group have a lower poverty rate than the rest of the population. To be sure, there is economic diversity within the elderly, and many older Americans are poor. But most of them aren't.It is impossible to determine the impact of the discounts on individual companies. For many firms, they are a stimulus to revenue. But in other cases the discounts are given at the expense, directly or indirectly, of younger Americans. Moreover, they are a direct irritant in what some politicians and scholars see as a coming conflict between the generations.Generational tensions are being fueled by continuing debate over Social Security benefits, which mostly involves a transfer of resources from the young to the old. Employment is another sore point. Buoyed by laws and court decisions, more and more older Americans are declining the retirement dinner in favor of staying on the job - thereby lessening employment and promotion opportunities for younger workers. Far from a kind of charity they once were, senior citizen discounts have become a formidable economic privilege to a group with millions of members who don’t need them.It no longer makes sense to treat the elderly as a single group whose economic needs deserve priority over those of others.Senior citizen discounts only enhance the myth that older people can‟t take care of themselves and need special treatment; and they threaten the creation of a new myth, that the elderly are ungrateful and taking for themselves at the expense of children and other age groups. Senior citizen discounts are essence of the very thing older Americans are fighting against-discrimination by age.16.Accoding to paragraph1,we know that[A] offering senior citizens discounts has become routine commercial practice.[B] senior citizen discounts have enabled many old people to live a decent life.[C] giving senior citizens discounts has boosted the market for the elderly.[D] senior citizens have to show their birth certificates to get a discount.17.What can we learn from senior citizen discounts?[A] Businesses are doing something good for society in return.[B] Old people are entitled to special treatment for their contribution.[C] The elderly, financially underprivileged, need humane help from society.[D] Senior citizen discounts can make up for the Social Security system.18.According to some politicians and scholars, senior citizen discounts will[A] make old people even more dependent on society.[B] intensify conflicts between the young and the old.[C] have adverse financial impact on business companies.[D] bring a marked increase in the companies‟ revenues.19.What's the author's opinion about the Social Security system?[A] It encourages elderly people to retire in time.[B] It opens up broad career prospects for young people.[C] It benefits the old at the expense of the young.[D] It should be reinforced by laws and court decisions.20.Which of the following best summarizes the author‟s main argument?[A] Senior citizens should fight hard against age discrimination.[B] The elderly are selfish and taking senior discounts for granted.[C] Priority should be given to the economic needs of senior citizens.[D] Senior citizen discounts may well be a type of age discrimination.Part BDirections: In the article, following sentences have been removed. For Questions 21-25, choose the most suitable one from the list [A]—[G] to fit into each of the numbered blank. There are two extra choices, which do not fit in any of the gaps.The human ear is an incredible piece of engineering and exquisitely sensitive. Calculations show that the quietest sound we can hear vibrates the eardrum by less than the diameter of a hydrogen atom. 21.But for 8.5 million people in the UK something goes wrong with one of the stages. Different parts of the processing chain are vulnerable at different ages. Some of the causes are avoidable and many are treatable. Treatments for problems that occur early in the processing chain are more straightforward and more effective.22.Things get more complicated behind the eardrum, in the air filled middle-ear cavity.Middle-ear problems are common, treatable and the subject of intense debate about who should be treated and how. Anything that impairs transmission across the middle-ear even if it is only the pressure changes in an aircraft cabin, or blockage of the Eustachian tube by a cold-causes hearing loss.At the center of the debate over treatment is the common childhood condition known in the medical profession as otitis media with effusion or OME. This is usually caused by an infection of the middle ear, often in the aftermath of a cold, in which the middle ear cavity fills up with aliquid effusion. 23.Treatment of glue ear is controversial. The condition affects millions of children between the ages of one and four, at the time they are learning to speak.Mark Haggard, director of the Medical Research Council Institute for Hearing Research at Nottingham University, is conducting a large-scale evaluation of the effectiveness of the different treatments for glue ear, which will be completed in the autumn. According to him, there are two problems that complicate the assessment.First, the long-term development effects of glue ear are not very severe. Language development is slightly delayed in children under four, and in children between four and seven there are “modest but definite” adverse effects on anxiety, social confidence and general co-coordination of behavior, Haggard says.24. Nobody can identify in advance the children who will have persistent glue ear.25. The UK Health and Safety Executive recommends that precautions should be taken by those who work 40 hours a week in sound levels of 85 decibels, and requires an annul check for those who work in noise levels between 85 decibels and 90 decibels. In working environments where the noise is above 90 decibels, ear protection is mandatory.[A] Noise exposure in the workplace is the most common preventable hazard to hearing. The hazard depends both on the intensity of the noise and the duration of the exposure.[B] Evidence that it impairs the development of language and other cognitive functions led to a huge enthusiasm for grommet operations —which are the most common surgical operation in children —in the 1980s. Since 1992, doubt about whether the benefits of treatment would always justify the risk of surgery has swung the pendulum the other way.[C] Before those vibrations are analyzed by the brain they pass through several stages of mechanical and neural processing that select the sounds we want to hear, adjust their level for comfort and intelligibility, and turn down the volume of distracting sounds.[D] The effusion can be thick and sticky, giving the condition its colloquial name of “glue ear”. The liquid causes variable degrees of hearing loss by impairing the transmission of sound through to the inner ear.[E] Glue ear can be treated surgically by inserting a tiny tube —a grommet —in the eardrum. This allows the glue to drain away, and ventilates the middle ear, which reduces the effusion of glue. There is evidence that removing the adenoids at the same time as inserting the grommet also helps by reducing the probability of future infections.[F] The second problem is more difficult. Although glue ear affect 83 percent of children at some time in their lives, it fluctuates enormously in its severity and most children recover quickly and spontaneously.[G] The easiest problem to treat is the one that occurs earliest in the chain. Obstruction of the ear canal by wax causes a relatively mild hearing loss. The loss is negligible unless the canal is completely blocked, which is rare, and is easily restored by cleaning out the wax.Part CDirections:Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese.All great writers express their ideas in an individual way: it is often possible to determine the authorship of a literary passage from the style in which it is written. 26)Many authors feel that the conventions of the written language hamper them and they use words freely, with little observance of accepted grammar and sentence structure, in order to convey vividly their feelings, beliefs and fantasies. Others with a deep respect for traditional usage achieve a style of classical clearness and perfection or achieve effects of visual or musical beauty by their mastery of existing forms enriched by a sensitive and adventurous vocabulary, vivid imagery and a blending of evocative vowels and consonants.Young people often feel the need to experiment and, as a result, to break away from the traditions they have been taught. In dealing with a foreign language, however, they have to bear in mind two conditions for experiment. 27)Any great experiential artist is fully familiar with the conventions from which he wishes to break free: he is capable of achievement in established forms but feels these are inadequate for the expression of his ideas. In the second place, he is indisputably an outstanding artist who has something original to express; otherwise the experiments will appear pretentious, even childish.Few students can also intimate an understanding of a foreign language that they can explore its resources freely and experimentally. Not all feel the need to do so. 28)And in any case examination candidate need to become thoroughly acquainted with conventional usage as it is a sure knowledge of accepted forms that examiners look for.The student undertaking a proficiency course should have the ability to use simple English correctly to express everyday facts and ideas. 29)This ability to express oneself in a foreign language on a basis of thinking in that language without reference to one‟s own is essential at all stages of learning. Students with extensive experience in translation who have had little practice in using the foreign language directly must, above all, write very simply at first, using only easy constructions which they are convinced are correct, forgetting for the time being their own language and rigorously avoiding translating from it.More complex forms, more varied vocabulary and sentence structure should evolve naturally in step with the student‟s increasing knowledge of the language. As he achieves additional confidence, he can begin to take an interest in the use of the language to create diverse effects. He may want to convey impressions of suspense, calm, dignity, humor of music or poetry. 30)He will master the art of logical explanation, of exact letter-writing, of formal speeches and natural conversation and of vivid impressionistic description. But he will still write within the limits of his ability and knowledge. And as a learner, he will still be studying and observing conventional English usage in all that he writes.做题点拨与全文翻译Part AText 1语境词汇1. woe(s) （常用复数）麻烦事2. quick-fix(很不完善的)应急解决办法，权宜之计3. alleviate vt.减轻，缓和4. bear down on逼近，施压加力于5. optimum a.最佳的，适宜的6. ramp n.斜坡，斜道7. detour n.迂回路线8.gridlock n.阻塞9.pool v.共用n.水池10. stagger v.错开（尤指假期、工作时间等）难句突破1．Soaring land costs, increasing concern (over social and environmental disruptions) (caused by road-building), and the likelihood {that more roads can only lead to more cars and traffic} are (powerful) factors (bearing down on a 1950s-style constructions program).【分析】复合句。

TOEFL作文实例解析：建一个社区商业中心
TOEFL作文实例解析：建一个社区商业中心To Build a Community Shopping Center – YESTopic: It has recently been announced that a large shopping center may be built in your neighborhood. Do you support or oppose this plan? Why? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.Since industrialization makes it possible to manufacture large quantities of goods, going shopping has become fairly recreational. Furthermore, transportation keeps everything going easily. (Furthermore, transportation keeps everything running smoothly.) (1) (“running smoothly”) (A) Shopping centers have entered the language and life of every citizen. When it comes to whether it is good to build a shopping mall near your apartment, different people have different views. As far as I am concerned, the advantages of setting a shopping center near where we live outweigh the disadvantages.Many people argue that setting a shopping center nearby ushers in more noise, more traffic congestion and more security problems. They would rather go farther to do shopping than let all these bad effects go around in their own community. (They would rather go out of their way to shop than allow these bad elements enter their community.) (“go out of their way”) (B)Although their concern is quite reasonable, it can be avoidable if we handle the center well. Building a shopping center near where we live may have lots of existent and potential advantages. They go as follows. (Building a shopping center where we live has a lot of potential advantages, such as the f ollowing.) (2) (“potential advantages”) (C)First, it provides more convenience and less time wasted in traffic. (First, it provides more convenience and reduces time wasted in traffic.) We can buy whatever we need on the way home leisurely, instead of having to write the task down on a schedule and drive through the heavy traffic to get there. (We can buy whatever we need leisurely on the way home, instead of having to jot the task down on a schedule and drive through the heavy traffic to get there.)Second, it helps improve the economy of the local community as well as that of the whole city. Just imagine, another shopping center means another competitor. If they want to survive out of such demanding business, they must provide better service and goods of higher quality. (If they want to survive in such a demanding market, they mustprovide higher quality goods and services.) As a result, the community and even the city can develop economically.What's more, it offers job opportunities for both adults and students. For adults, especially those who are unemployed, they can earn money to support themselves. For students, they can apply for part-time jobs, and thus get experience and earn some extra money. (For students, they can apply for part-time jobs, gain work experience, and earn extra money.)If it is up to me to decide whether a shopping center should be built near my apartment, I prefer to build it. (If it were up to me to decide whether or not to build a shopping center near my apartment, I wo uld decide to build it.) (3) (“If it were up to me”) (D) This is because I am the sort of person who enjoy conveniecnce and happincess of contacting with people. (This is because I am the type of person who enjoys convenience and contact with people.) If the shopping center is successfully run, I believe that everyone who lives around will get great benefits from it.

They are large, indoor complexes that house a mix of retail stores, restaurants, movie theaters, andother amenities. In this essay, we will explore the characteristics and benefits of shopping malls, as well as their impact on society.One of the key features of shopping malls is their convenience. By bringing together a diverse range of stores and services under one roof, shopping malls make it easy for consumers to find everything they need in one place. Whether shoppers are looking for clothing, electronics, home goods, or groceries, they can typically find a store in a shopping mall that meets their needs. This makes shopping malls an efficient and time-saving option for busy consumers.In addition to convenience, shopping malls offer a wide range of options for dining and entertainment. Many shopping malls feature food courts with a selection of restaurants and eateries, allowing shoppers to grab a quick bite to eat or sit down for a leisurely meal. Some malls also have movie theaters, arcades, and other forms of entertainment, making them popular destinations for families and teenagers looking for a fun day out. The variety of dining and entertainment options at shopping malls helps to attract a diverse range of visitors, making them vibrant and lively hubs of activity.Shopping malls also play a significant role in the local economy by creating jobs and generating revenue for thecommunity. In addition to the staff employed by individual stores and restaurants within the mall, shopping malls themselves require a team of management, security, maintenance, and cleaning staff to keep operations running smoothly. This creates employment opportunities for people in the area, contributing to economic growth and development. Furthermore, the presence of a shopping mall can attract other businesses to the surrounding area, leading to increased foot traffic and boosting sales for local shops and restaurants.Despite their many benefits, shopping malls have also been criticized for their impact on the environment and society. The construction and operation of shopping malls can contribute to urban sprawl, leading to increased traffic congestion and pollution. In addition, the retail industry's reliance on fast fashion and disposable consumer goods can generate a significant amount of waste, further contributing to environmental degradation. Critics also argue that shopping malls promote consumerism and materialism, encouraging people to prioritize the accumulation of goods and possessions over more meaningful experiences and relationships.In conclusion, shopping malls are complex and multifaceted spaces that offer a wide range of benefits and drawbacks tosociety. While they provide convenience, variety, and economic opportunities, shopping malls also raise concerns about their environmental impact and promotion of consumerism. As consumers, it is important to be mindful of the choices we make when shopping at malls and to consider the broader implications of our purchasing decisions. By supporting sustainable and ethical businesses, we can help shape a more responsible and sustainable future for shopping malls and the retail industry as a whole.篇3Shopping malls are popular destinations for people of all ages around the world.

Building an Electronic Shopping Mall for OystersMasaru Nakagawa*,e-mail; nakagawa@sys.wakayama-u.ac.jpAkinori Nokami*, Hironobu Morikawa*, Takehiko Tanaka*Abstract: In recent times, electronic commercial systems have been getting popular."The Internet exposition in Japan" into which the government was putting the power, started in New Year's Eve in 2000. We are catching the wind of this boom, andpropose an electronic shopping mall that sells local specialty to the whole country. ThisInternet goods sales system integrates the control information of sales dealers, and dealswith the commercial transaction habit which is peculiar to oyster ordering.Oysters are mainly traded for gifts, and as for oyster dealing, the customer's control and the decision of the selling price are peculiar. The customer who had dealings manytimes is treated as a good customer, who is granted the privilege of buying at lessexpensive prices. In our system, a decision on a formal style of pricing is entrusted to thecommunication from dealer and customer. On the other hand, a convenient electroniccommercial transaction was realized by the database on the server, which classifies thecustomers into order persons, order data such as destinations, payment persons.By using this system，the goods that are purchased are better and can be purchased at lower cost, while for the sales dealer, securing of the new customer whomade use of the Internet and securing of the customer as a repeater become easy.Keywords;electronic shopping mall, Oyster dealing, Database Design1. IntroductionAs the Internet has been popularized, the dealings using the Internet are progressing rapidly. Electronic commerce is one of the representative examples [1]. Though there are various forms of this electronic commerce, an electronic shopping mall targeting the dealings with a dealer and an individual consumer is made a topic in this paper.Electronic commerce is expected to bring benefits to both customers and dealers; the customers can look up more than one kind of goods and buy them in bulk. On the other hand, it is easier for the dealers to gather their guests. Nevertheless, early electronic shopping malls did not make use of this advantage; it is merely an aggregate of electronic stores. Electronic shopping malls that made use of those characteristics have recently appeared by the introduction of the database. However, there are few electronic shopping malls that share information of commodities between the dealers. Therefore, there is hardly any competition between the dealers. From the viewpoint of the customers, when they search stores with some keywords, they see the wishing stores separately.Based on these problems，we developed a new electronic commercial system that stimulates the competition between the dealers, by supplying several functions and interfaces to reduce the load of the customers and the dealers.*Department of Computer and Communication Sciences, Faculty of System Engineering,Wakayama Univ., 930 Sakaedani, Wakayama 640-8510, JAPAN2.2. Commercial Transaction of Oysters2.1 Characteristics of Commercial Transaction of OystersIn the commercial transaction of oysters, there are several characteristics different from other goods. Main characteristics are as follows. (1) Oysters are mainly traded for gifts. (2) Some customers are treated as good customers. (3) A sales period is concentrated on a short term in the year. We will give the details of these characteristics.(1) Since oysters are handled for the gifts, an order person, a destination and a payment person are different in general. For example, a branch of an enterprise orders some for a gift, and the head office pays for it. In this case, three persons are actually different. When one order specifies more than one destination, the destinations are different.(2) How to decide a good customer, though there are some differences among oyster dealers, must meet at least the following two conditions. First，he or she has ordered the goods sufficiently in the quality and in the quantity. Then, he or she is a trustworthy person. To the customer who becomes a good customer, a privilege like the discount of the selling price and the change of the settlement method to the lump-sum payment from the bank payment and the generation favor is given. This implies that prices are different for every customer. Hence a direct communication with the dealer and the customer is indispensable. Taking care of good customers leads to holding repeaters.(3) The sales of oysters are concentrated in a few months of winter. In the time when there are most dealings, several hundred orders pour in one day. Since it is perishable, oysters cannot be kept long once unloaded. A dealer is mindful for the prediction of the order since the decision of the amount of unloading on one day is concerned with the profit directly. To raise sales in this season, in addition, the dealers take advertising activities such as sending of pamphlets and the offer of bargain sale information before the season. For an acquisition of new customers, these advertisement activities are directed to the destinations, too.2.2 From Traditional System to Electronic Shopping MallA typical oyster sales system is shown in Figure 1. A dealer has a local database in which data such as goods, customers, orders (slips) and postage are managed. Actually a dealer owns one personal computer and a database management system to work on it. An order is accepted by calls or FAX. When an order appears, a dealer inputs the contents of an order to the local database with his or her hands.Figure 1. A Traditional SystemThough such a database is excellent in totaling every customer's amount of dealings and the sales of every month and so on，it is easy to imagine that the effort to input the data is too much for the dealer.That is why we attempt to build an "electronic shopping mall" which unifies more than one oyster dealer. Accepting an order from the Web page will reduce a dealer’s input load. However, if the contents of all the local databases were integrated, then it would make troubles. It is obvious that the information of the customer, for example, should be stored only in the local database and each dealer wants the information not to be known by other dealers. The local database, furthermore, holds as well the stock information and the charge data of the home delivery dealer including the printing format of the home delivery slip, which are various in every dealer. For this reason, when developing the electronic shopping mall for oysters, we consider it important that the dealers use their local databases to manage their own information while the public data of the dealers are gathered and maintained in a new server. At present, a charge settlement is done with the bank payment, month-end settlement, and so on. Though there are several sorts of electronic money proposed (for example in [2]), we consider that it is too early yet to adopt that when we think about its safety, the cost for a realization and the penetration into the consumer [3]. Hence our system uses telephone and FAX as well for the confirmation of the order.3. Electronic Shopping Mall for Oysters3.1 OverviewThe outline of this system is shown in Figure 2. Existing independently of local databases, one database called the “network database” is installed.Figure 2. Overview of the systemThe network database manages the goods data of dealers together with the customer dataand the order data that order persons input newly. Remark that once information of a customer (an order person, a destination or a payment person) is registered, it will be available for other orders in the future. The re-use of these input data contributes to the repeater's acquisition. The retrieval of the goods information and the goods order are realized by the World Wide Web (abbreviated as Web). An order person refers to the Web page by a computer with the Internet connectivity and by a Web browser running in the computer. Of course, it must not be the case that the information of the customer is leaked out to the dealer who does not have dealings with the customer. By recording the relations between the dealer and the customer, a dealer never knows the information of the customers without dealing.However, by referring to the Web page, each dealer can know other dealers’ prices and the evaluation by the order person, which is an effect on competition among the dealers.3.2 Flow of Goods PurchaseA purchase process using our system is shown in Figure 3. Everyone can access freely to the oysters homepage on the Web and can refer to the goods and the prices (a). In other words, user registration is not necessary until fixing the goods to purchase.Figure 3. Purchase processUser registration arises only when he or she tries to do an order using this system for the first time (b). When the order person inputs a name, an address, a telephone number, a password, and so on, a user ID is given. This information is recorded as customer informationin the network database. The user ID, the password and the telephone number identify the order person. If the goods to purchase are decided, he or she moves to the order page in the Web after the login procedure. Then, this system displays the goods formation of the dealer's page on the Web. We developed the interface module using Oracle DBI ( Data Base Interface) module and CGI( Common Gateway Interface) of Perl for the connection of the Web pageand the network database (c).Before specifying the goods，an order person inputs a payment person and a destination.We prepared three patterns for the input of this information. They are (1) New input，(2) input of User ID and the telephone number，(3) reuse of the inputted data. Using the methodof (2) and (3), the customer can retrieve and reuse the data of a payment person and the destination, inputted in the order to other dealers. When a reference button is pushed, JavaScript displays a name and address list in another window. Then, when the name is clicked on, a data such as a destination is pasted on the window of the order page. And, when the customer chooses goods and determines a quantity,a delivery hope’s date, and a classification (the small gift, the year-end present), the order is finished. The customer who finished an order waits for the contact from the home delivery dealer. The customer can confirm how the order is dealt with by looking at the homepage onthe Web. Because the Web page can be used to send a complaint to the dealer directly and the bulletin board as well on Web is prepared, a user can say his opinion and can see the opinionof other order people. The dealing is completed if a payment is finished and goods are received.3.3 Network DatabaseIn the network database (figure 3), many data such as a customer data, a goods data, an order data, a destination data and relationships between goods, dealers and customers are managedby using Relational DBMS (Data Base Management System). Main tables in this system and relationships between tables are shown in figure 4. In a customer table, information of an order person, a destination and a payment person are kept as the customer data without distinction. A destination order person relationship table and a slip number table are referringto a customer code (an order person code, a destination code and a payment person code) of a customer table.When an order is completed on figure 3 (b), the data is written to the network database. When a customer inputs new destination data and payment person data, the data is written in a customer table using SQL(Structured Query Language) statement in Perl script. And then, the relationship between dealers and customers and the relationship between order persons and destinations are written in each relationship table, too (figure 4). A slip number is decided bythe relationship of an order person, a payment person and a dealer. An order slip is made based on this slip number and the data of ordered goods are stored in the order table. At this moment, a price is a standard price shown on Web page. After that, contents of an order aresent to both of the order person and the destination by electric mail. An order person can confirm his dealing’s conditions by using the slip number.A dealer completes an authentication by the dealer number and the password. And, he downloads order data for his company to his local database (d). Then, the order data is translated to the CSV (Comma Separated Values) file format that is one of TEXT file format. Based on this data, He telephones to the order person and the destination to confirm contentsof an order (e)． Then, they decide a formal selling price, a way of settlement, a delivery day,and so on. At this moment, a formal deal is made. After the confirmation of the contents is taken, goods are sent to the destination and the local database is modified. Then, the networkdatabase is modified by a final order data translated to the CSV file format, too (f).Dealer table Dealer Customer relationship table Customer tableNote：Description only a main key attribute(K) and a reference key attribute(R)Figure 4. Construction of Network Database4. ConclusionsWe developed Electronic shopping mall system, which promotes competition between peoples in the same trade. Concretely, we realized the sharing of the information and the reduction of the input load for oyster dealers by creating a network database. From the viewpoint of customers, the goods that are purchased are better and can be purchased at lower cost.In this system, after a customer orders oysters on Web, a final decision on a price is done by the telephone or FAX. If a decision on a price is done on the Web page, the period from the order to the delivery becomes shorter. Especially, we think it is useful for the dealings that a destination aligns with the order person. However, oyster dealing is mainly for gifts. Therefore, we must take consideration for next two points.At first, because a destination is generally different from the order person, the technique of more powerful authentication is looked for, so a pretender, an order mistake, and so on may not happen. Though present on-line authentication technology is fully developed, its cost is too much. At last, because oyster dealing is mainly for gifts，so the needs, which is delivered soon after the order, are never high. For these reasons, we did not accept the price decision with on-line.References[1] Donna L. Hoffman, Thomas P. Novak: A New Marketing Paradigm for Electronic Commerce.
