大学英语2课后写作参考答案
My FatherFather was my first teacher and is my dear friend. When I was a little girl, I used to sit on my father’s knees, listening to his stories. The story “Two friends and a Bear” told me “ a friend in need is a friend indeed.” I will never forget the story “Madame Curie” which tells me a truth “where there is a will, there is a way.” Father’s stories enriched my life and did a lot of good to my growth.When I was seven years old, I started primary school. I was young, so my father picked me up from school every day. On the way, I told father everything that happened at school. Father listened carefully and always smiled happily. Sometimes I sang a beautiful song. My sweet and lovely voice gave my father the greatest pride. My father is always proud of me. He hopes I will make great progress in my study. Now I have made up my mind to study harder and harder.I’m sure my father’s love will lead me to my success and I will love him forever!My Father, a Hard-Working ManMy father is forty-six years old, a very hard-working farmer. It seems as if he never feels tired and enjoys working very much. He seldom smiles. Perhaps it’s because he has a big family to support and the heavy burden is on his shoulders. He is also a man of few words.Father has never bought any toys or candies for my younger brother and me, but I know he loves us. He is strict with us. Actually he himself has set a good example for us. He once said: “You should study hard so that you can serve the people better in the future.” Fath er does his best to meet our needs and always keeps his promise. My family was poor, but father promised that he would pay for the education of my brother and me even if he had to sell our house. We were deeply moved.Following father’s example, both my b rother and I are very diligent. We appreciate what we have received from him and are determined to study hard to repay him. I love and admire my father. (182 words)My MotherMy mother, a middle-aged woman, has a kind of beauty characteristic of oriental women. What’s more, she has a golden heart and loves people around her. I’m a lucky girl and always feel thankful for her love.When I was a child, my mother took me to the kindergarten everyday and talked with me on the way. I enjoyed her company and felt secure, especially when the weather was bad. When I was naughty and made mistakes, my mother never blamed me. Instead she often told me some enjoyable stories and from these I was able to know what I should do and what I shouldn’t do.When I went to school, my mother cared about not only my daily needs but also my studies. When I did poorly in school, she often encouraged me to try my best the next time. She said she had confidence in me and told me never to lose heart. So I owe wha t I’ve achieved in my study to my mother.I love my mother and will remember her kindness and advice forever. I’ll try to be a person who has all the good virtues my mother possesses. (195 words)How to Avoid MisunderstandingsMisunderstandings are very common in our daily lives.Even though not all misunderstandings are very serious, they still cause problems and unnecessary trouble. Sometimes,they can even ruin good relationships or friendships. This will undoubtedly bring misery.There are many ways to avoid misunderstandings. First, we should not use words that may have double meanings. We should express our ideas clearly and also pronounce words clearly, such as seventeen and seventy. Second, as listeners, when we are not quite clear about what we have heard, we should not hesitate to ask for clarification. We shouldn’t pretend to know or understand if we don’t. Third, we should not always take it literally when we hear a statement. For example, if a woman says “You never clean the house,” to her husband, he should not argue that the day before yesterday he cleaned the house. Instead, he should take it as a signal that either she is tired or she is bored with the housework.Of course, there are many other ways to avoid misunderstandings. If we can avoid misunderstandings, we can have a better and happier life. (186 words)U33. WritingwinningSome people say that winning means being rich, some say winning means being powerful, and others think winning means being happy. I think winning means doing what you should do and being good at it. Most of us can only live in this world for no more than 70 or 80 years. We shouldn’t think too much about what we can get from this world. Instead, we should think about what we can leave in this world. The one who can make more contributions to the world is a real winner. For example, c leaning the street is a humble job in many people’s eyes, but in my opinion, street cleaners can also be great winners. They make our city more beautiful. They give us a better environment and consequently a better life. But, on the contrary, some people make money at the cost of the environment. Some are even worse: They cheat or kill others in order to gain power or earn money. Winners or losers? It’s time to give it a s econd thought. (174 words)U43. WritingPsychology in our lifePsychology plays an important role in our daily life. Our feelings and attitudes color the way we behave. Confidence is a good example.In reality, a great number of people complain that they are not able to do something or that their difficulties are too great to overcome. In some cases, this may be true. But in other cases, it means that these people allow themselves to get discouraged.For example, a confident man can accomplish many things. If you have confidence, you believe you can do things well. You might not always do as well as you hope, but you will try harder the next time. A man who lacks self-confidence might not be able to complete simple tasks. Without confidence you are likely to be nervous, unsure of yourself and confused about what to do and how to do it. You may think you will fail, so as a result you will not try hard enough.There is a well-known proverb that says: “Where there is a will, there is a way.” In other words, if you have the will or the determination to do something, you will always find a way to do it. Having confidence is an important part of our life. (206 words)Sample 2In our daily life, we often have to buy things. Most of us cannot really distinguish good quality from bad quality. Obviously we can see if an apple is rotten, but we cannot always see ifsomething is well made. What thoughts make us buy things?A woman might decide to buy a particular style of dress because several of her friends choose that style. She wants to be like her friends. A man might decide to buy a particular coat because it is expensive. He thinks that since it is expensive it must be of good quality. A student who has a lot of money might decide to buy a jacket because it was designed by a well-known designer. Wearing a jacket with the designer’s name on it makes him feel important.These are not the logical reasons for buying things, but they explain the motivation behind people’s actions or behavior. It means that psycholog y or our mental state plays an important role in many aspects of our daily life. (171 words)U53. WritingSampleA NightmareI grew up in the country and life was hard at that time. I used to share a bed with my younger brother. We would often fight for space.One night, I had a terrible dream. In the dream, our village was occupied by foreign invaders. The invaders were taking away property and children from households. They set houses on fire and killed anyone who did not obey them. I managed to hide in a pile of hay. I could hear my heart thumping when I saw some foreign soldiers coming toward our house. I couldn’t see them clearly because my eyes were covered with hay. I could hear them coming nearer and talking angrily. But I didn’t understand anything that they said. Just then, I realized that one of my arms was not fully covered. I wanted to hide it but I dared not move. Then one of the soldiers discovered me. I was almost scared to death. But still I didn’t move. Then I felt a severe pain on my left arm. I was wounded by a soldier with a sword.I woke up and realized that I had just had a nightmare. But my left arm was hurting. My brother’s leg had been pressing on my arm. (210 words)U63. WritingOur Eating HabitClassmates’eating habitsThe survey shows that students usually spend little time eating. They eat three meals a day, with rice as their basic food (staple). Students from the North like pasta, for example, noodles, steamed bread, and dumplings. Most students like fresh fish, seafood and eggs. Only a few students say that they are keen on meat of all kinds. Most students eat their meals at the school cafeterias. They don’t cook at home, and some haven’t even tried cooking. Their parents or grandparents do the cooking in their families.What is unusual is the fact that many students don’t eat vegetables. They think fruit can provide all the necessary nutrients their bodies need. With some students, milk is gradually taking the place of water and other drinks. Besides, in many families, it is now the father whodoes most of the cooking. The role of the mother seems to have changed a lot. (152 words)Sample 2The survey indicates that food likes and dislikes vary from one student to another. Some students are keen on meat of all kinds, while others prefer fruits and nuts. Students brought up near the sea prefer seafood, while those from West China enjoy beef and lamb. Most students spend 10 to 12 hours eating in a normal week. Generally speaking, most of the students eat at the cafeterias, but some students from wealthy families often have meals in restaurants. They have never tried cooking at home.What is worth mentioning is that some girls are on a diet to keep a slim figure. They do not eat sweet food even though they like chocolate and dessert very much. To some students, fast food is a big attraction. They love going to KFC or MacDonald’s. In addition, cooking, which was traditionally undertaken by mothers, has been often taken over by fathers nowadays. (151 words)u7WritingSample 1Dining Customs in ChinaEvery country has its own peculiar dining customs. The Chinese feel that the first rule of being a courteous guest is to be modest. When a person is invited to dinner, he will decline first because he is afraid it will give the host and hostess a lot of trouble preparing for it. As the host keeps on inviting him, he’ll then accept it. Usually the guest will bring some gifts to the host, such as fruit, flowers and wine. The host wil l protest his doing so immediately, by saying, “You shouldn’t have bought the gifts. You are too polite and generous!”When the guest sits down and starts chatting, the host offers something such as tea, candy, and fruit. The guest always says: “No, no, please don’t bother, I am not thirsty,” or “I’ll help myself to them.”When the dinner is ready, the guests are invited to sit down first. They sit in the chairs that are facing the south, which are considered to be honored seats. After everybody is seated, the host asks the guests to start eating first because they will not eat before the host says so. The guests often avoid being eager to eat out of politeness. They usually don’t empty the dishes to show that the host has prepared more food than enough out of their hospitality. On the other hand, the host and hostess usually prepare a lot of food to feed their guests.When the dinner is over, guests will offer to help with the cleaning, but of course, the host and hostess will not let them do so. Instead, they will ask the guests to watch TV, drink tea, and sometimes to join a card game or Mahjong game. After some time, the guests will leave, and it is customary for the host to see the guests off. The host tries to see them off to the farthest feasible point while the guests try to discourage them from doing so. The guests will usually invite the host to their home in order to return the favor. (345 words)Sample 2Dining Customs in ChinaIf you are a guest in China and you’re going to have dinner with the Chinese, you should learn many things about the dining customs in China.Before the dinner begins, the guests and the host all sit at the table. Usually the hostess is busy preparing dishes and the host will chat with the guests. The dinner will begin when everybody is present.When the dinner begins, the host says to the guests: “ Please help yourselves!” The guests usually say “OK! OK!” The host starts the dinner first and the others follow. The host or hostess will bring food to the bowls of their guests to encourage them to eat as much as they can. The guests will say “no, no, you don’t have to bother”or “I’ll help myself” at the beginning and will let the host or hostess do so later on. At a Chinese table a guest should not eat too quickly to finish eating very soon. The Chinese like to talk with each other during the dinner. If someone eats without speaking to anyone else, he is considered unfriendly or impolite. So the atmosphere at the dinner table is always pleasantly noisy.At the end of the dinner, if someone wants to leave the table, he should apologize to others for not being able to accompany them to the end and at the same time ask them to eat slowly.These are a few dining customs in China. (244 words)media and shoppingWith numerous technological advances, various kinds of media have been well developed. As a result, an increasing number of people are fond of purchasing goods with the help of media, such as newspapers, radio stations, TV stations and the Internet.As we know, every coin has two sides and shopping via media is no exception. On the one hand, it saves much time, money and effort to purchase goods through media since you do not have to go to the shops in person. Besides, you can choose what you want from an enormous variety of goods on display. On the other hand, you may be cheated sometimes by the false information and suffer a considerable loss.As far as I am concerned, shopping via media brings great benefit to our life and our economy on the whole. At the same time, we need strengthened supervision over the information released via media. In this way, we can reap more benefits from shopping via media and reduce the possible harm to a minimum.。

Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1In the United States there was an unusual tale telling of the daughter of a mechanic. One day while walking along the bank of a lake, the girl happened to see 20 eggs laid by a wild goose. After some time the girl realized the mother would not return to her eggs and she decided to take them home. There she carefully placed the eggs in the heat of a lamp. Several days later the eggs broke and the baby geese came into the world.Geese are known to take the first living thing they see as their mother. Thus, to these young geese, the girl was their mother.As they grew, the girl was able to lead her birds to run across the grass, but she could not teach them to fly. The girl became increasingly worried about this, both when awake and in her dreams. Later, she had an idea. She would pilot a plane to guide them in flight. She asked her father for a plane and he assembled small aircraft for her.Caring about her safety, the father decided to pilot the plane himself. However, the birds did not recognize or follow him, and instead slept in the grass.One day, the girl climbed into the plane, started it and soon left the ground. Seeing their mother take to the air, the birds eagerly flapped their wings and set out. She flew the plane freely in the sky, her young birds following.1.

The 19th-century discovery of what appeared to be geometric designs cut across the surface was taken as evidence.The lines were thought to have been a system of canals that had been built to irrigate the surface. It is now clear that “canals” —perhaps the most spectacular geologic features of Mars —are natural valleys where ancient rivers once flowed.Another fragmented idea concerns the planet’s seasonal changes in color. Once attributed to the rapid spread of some life-form, these shifts are now known to develop from the movement of fine dust in the atmosphere.By the close of the 20th century none of the many experiments conducted by spacecraft had ever found persuasive evidence of life. Nevertheless, speculation continued over the existence of some form of life, in either the present or the past. In 1996 scientists discovered organic compounds and minerals in a meteorite（陨石）, consisting of Martian rock, that collided with Earth around 11,000 B.C. These compounds suggest that Mars may have been inhabited by organisms more than three billion years ago.6. Why did people in the 19th century believe the existence of intelligent life on Mars?A. Because the surface of Mars seemed to be geometric.B. Because the lines were drawn across the surface of the planet.C. Because a system of canals was thought to be there.D. Because it was the Martians that built the canals.7. The “canals” on Mars have proved to be ______ according to the passage.A. the minor geologic characteristic of MarsB. natural valleys on the surface of MarsC. rivers that have kept flowing since ancient timesD. a system that irrigates the whole surface8. What were the Mars’ seasonal changes in color believed to be?A. The natural changes on the planet.B. The seasonal cycles.C. The movement of some life form.D. The storm of dust in its atmosphere.9. How is the 1996 discovery related to the possible existence of organisms on Mars?A. The meteorite containing organic compounds is part of Mars.B. A Martian rock struck Earth about 11,000 years ago.C. The organisms came back to life after the collision with Earth.D. The inhabiting organisms appeared more than three billion years ago.10. How many arguments in this passage lead to the belief of the existence of life on Mars?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.Passage 3Gilbert Arenas was born on January 6, 1982 in Tampa, Florida. His father played college football at the University of Miami. In 1984, the pair moved to Los Angeles, California where Gilbert's father was an actor in commercials and soap operas.When Gilbert was about 11, he started playing basketball. By the time Gilbert was 14, he wasalready the best player on Ulysses S. Grant High School in Van Nuys, California. He decided to wear the number "0" becausepeople told him he would get "zero playing time". After his sophomore year, Gilbert decided to enter the NBA draft. Many coaches thought that Gilbert was not ready. As a result, he was drafted a disappointing 31st overall by the Golden State Warriors. Gilbert worked hard at Golden State, despite the fact his coach kept him on the bench for much of the season. When he finally got his chance, Gilbert averaged 14 points and 5 assists per game as the Warriors point guard.After a successful individual year for Gilbert, it was time to test the NBA's free-agent market. Much to the disappointment of Warriors fans, Gilbert signed a 6-year, 65 million dollar deal with the Washington Wizards in 2003. Not surprisingly, he became an instant star with the Wizards. Fans loved to watch him race up the court, dish-off passes, and make difficult shots and lay ups. Although the Wizards only won 27 games his first year in Washington, Gilbert led them with 19.6 points per game. Gilbert, along with teammates Larry Hughes and Antawn Jamison, led the Wizards to the NBA playoffs during his second year. The highlight of the decade for the Wizards was their post-season victory against the Chicago Bulls in the NBA playoffs.11. What did Gilbert’s father do for a living in Californi a?A. He was an artist.B. He was a basketball player.C. He was an actor.D. He was a football player.12. When did Gilbert become the best player on Ulysses S. Grant High School?A. When he was 11.B. In 1984.C. When he was 14.D. As a junior in high school.13. Why was Gilbert drafted a disappointing 31st overall by the Golden State Warriors?A. Because many coaches thought that he was not ready.B. Because the Golden State Warriors liked him very much.C. Because his family has moved to the Golden State.D. Because his performance is disappointing in the season.14. Which of the following players did NOT help the Wizards make the playoffs in Gilbert’s second year?A. Gilbert Arenas.B. Gold State Warriors.C. Antawn Jamison.D. Larry Hughes.15. Which of the following words best describes Gilbert Arenas as described by the passage?A. Overrated.B. Hard-working.C. Talented.D. Both B and C.Passage 4Manners are very important in every country, but the trouble is that different countries have different ideas about what counts as polite behavior. What is good manners in one country may not be appropriate behavior in another. Chinese people may be shocked at what counts as good manners in England.When an Englishman passes a friend in the street he does not always stop to talk. He may just nod, say" hello" and pass on. If two friends do stop to talk, they do not shake hands. It is only at parties for young people (students, for instance) that a person could go up to someone he does not know and introduce himself.On more formal occasions or at parties run by older people a guest always waits to be introduced to someone he does not know by the host, hostess oranother guest who he already knows. At even a formal dinner an Englishman does not wait for a toast before he has a drink. The English reserve toasts for very formal or very special occasions. In these cases the toast will usually be accompanied by a short speech, for example, at a wedding reception or at a party for somebody who is retiring. After a private dinner in someone's house an Englishman will only shake hands with the host and hostess if it is a fairly formal occasion, like a business dinner, and he will usually put his coat on and say goodbye as he leaves the house.Luckily, like Chinese people, the English usually excuse foreign students over matters of etiquette. But even so, perhaps the safest advice for the overseas student, no matter what country he is visiting, is to follow the old proverb: when in Rome, do as the Romans do.16. When an Englishman meets a friend in the street, he may ____________________.A. stop to talk to his friendB. just nod and say “hello”C. shake hands with his friendD. just say goodbye17. What will a person do when he attend a party run by older people?A. Go up to a stranger and introduce himself.B. Ask his friend to introduce him to others.C. Give a speech in front of others to introduce himself.D. Wait to be introduced by the host / hostess.18. On which occasion will the English toast?A. A wedding reception.B. A dinner party.C. A speech.D. A meeting.19. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Different countries have similar ideas about what good manners are.B. Chinese people seem to be more polite than English people.C. An Englishman will shake hands with the host after a private business dinner.D. The English usually can’t understand foreign students impolite behaviors.20. Which of the following best explains the proverb: when in Rome, do as the Romans do.A. If you go to Rome, you must do things like the Romans.B. When you go to a foreign country, you should learn something about their manners.c. Romans always do the right thing, so you should follow them.D. Manners in Roman are as easy to follow as in other countries.III.

But many weddings, no matter where or how they are performed, include certain traditional customs. For instance, the bride and groom often exchange rings at the ceremony. The rings are usually worn on the fourth finger of the left hand, and are exchanged in the middle of the ceremony. Today, the ring shows the couple’s love for one another.After the ceremony, the couple is often showered with handfuls of uncooked rice by friends and family. Rice, as we know, shows productivity and harvest. And then, there is often a party, where the food is so plentiful that it almost takes the attention away from the people. Soon the bride stands in the center of the room, often on a chair, and throws her flowers to the unmarried women at the party. Tradition says that whoever catches the flowers will be the next bride. Some women eagerly try to catch the flower; others shy away.And then it is time for the bride and groom to set off the tradition of a honeymoon, a trip after the wedding. The trip nowadays varies greatly by wealth, time and preference. Sometimes the couple will spend a single night at a nearby hotel; or they may spend two weeks at a faraway foreign city as well.1.

of this report isto present and compare theservices of Globelink andFTD as possible new agentsfor international freight.FindingsGlobelink has 25years’experience in seafreight worldwide.They offerair freight as well,and wemay need that for urgentorders.This company willcomplete all customs formsand provide alldocumentations.FTDoperatesmainly inEurope.They offerrefrigerated shiping andaccept small orders,whichwould be useful for us.However the charges are abit higher at FTD than atGlobelink.ConclusionsChoosing Globelink willsave us work on customsforms and cost lessRecommendationsIt is recommendation thatGlobelink is chosen due totheir international networkand documentation service.29Report on the LocalPurchasing PowerAs you requested, thefollowing report is theassessment of the localpurchasing power.Since thepurchasing power is closelyrelated to the familyincome,it’s sensible to lookinto the local family incomeafter taxes first.From the chart,we find thatabout 70%of the familieshave an income over$5000,while only about30%have an income under$5000.Therefore it can beconcluded that the localfamily income is fairlyhigh,and accordingly thelocal purchasing power mustbe potential.After analysis,Ibelieve that the local retailmarket is promising and theinvestment in this marketwill have brilliantprospects.Now there isn’tmuch investment in the retailmarket,so I recommend thatwe invest in it as quickly aspossible.30IntroductionThis report aims to assesscurrent and future situationsituation in sports goodsmarket.FindingsFrom the chart,we can seethat in2002 we have becomethe second largest retailerwith a turnover of $60million,whereas in 2001wewere in third place with $40 million.We are the only company with an increasing turnover in 2002 ConclusionIn order to continue this positive development we have decided to charge our present sales distribution in 2004.We intend to increase our turnover in Europe by 4% with 6new stores,in Asian Pacific by 3%with 4new stores and in the South America by 4%with 3new stores.Therefore we will decrease our sales in North America,where the market is alredy saturated.31.You work in the sales department of a company…Report on Year-end Sales TotalsHere is the report concerning the 2003 year-end sales totals by regions.AnalysisOn the whole,total sales of volume of photocopiers have reached the planned target. However the sales totals of different regions varied greatly. RecommendationsI believe that it’s of great importance for a company to be strict and fair in carrying our rewards and punishments in the marking promotion. The following are the recommendation which I offer:a.Encourage and give rewardgive reward to modelsalespersons,that is,thosewho have overfulfilled theirsales quota.b.Demote the unqualifiedsales managers,that is ,thosewho are responsible for thefailture of their sales task.32ReportThe results of the marketsurvey aredissatisfying.Thereforeeffective measures must betaken immediately toextricate us from thepredicament.Discussion of FactsFrom the table shown,it canbe concluded that our effortsin such fileds asValueforMoney,Reliability,After-sales and Advertising are lesssuccessful than those ofShikei.RecommendationsOn the basis of the results,Ihave the followingrecommendations:(1)To organize qualitycircles to study andsupervise every sectorin our production sothat any qualityproblems can bediscussed and solvedin the course ofproduction.(2)To give the markingmanager morepowerto make his owndecision so that he canrespond to thechanging businesssituation timelierChannels of Distribution ofour Products for 1994 and1995The two pie charts show theproportion of the three maintypes shops,which sold ourproducts in 1994 and1995.In 1994,48.1%of ourproducts were soldbylargeSupermarkets/Hypermarkets,46.5%bysmall,family-runshops,and5.4%throughother outletsIn 1995,theSupermarket/Hypermarketshare increased by some11%to 59.6%,thesmall,family-run shops sharedecreased by just over11%to35.3%and the otheroutlets held more or lesssteady,with a drop in shareof only 0.3%.Look at the generalpicture,the figures show thatthe largeSupermarket/Hypermarketsare taking more of our goodsthan our other retailcustomers and their salesrepresent well over 50%ofour total sales34Prices of Consumer Goodsin the UnitedKingdom,Germany andFrance from 1971 to 1995The graph shows the pricesof the consumer goods inthree European countriesbetween 1971 to 1995Over the 25-year periodconsidered, the UnitedKingdom has always hanprices higer than both Franceand Germany,except for theearly/mid 1980’s whenFrench prices were higer andthe early1990’swhen bothFrench and German priceswere higher at differenttimes.Over the 25 years,UnitedKingdom prices have varieddramatically,peaking at24%in1976,but,throughseveral fluctuating rises andfalls,they have progressivelycome down,closing in1994,at 5%and rising onlyslightly the next year.French and German priceshave always varied onlyslightly from each otherwithin a maximum rangeof12%,with French pricesstaying higher than Germanprices from 1972 onwards.35Changes in Energy Use inFarland 1991 to1995The graph shows thechanges occurred in types ofenergy used in Farlandbetween1991 and1995By 1992,the use of bothsources of energy hadincreased at the samerate,giving1992consumption figures of230 units for Hydro-electricity and 110 units for coal.From1992to1994,Hydroelectric energy was consumed at the same rate,230units per year,while Coal-produced energy had surged to 210 units by late1992,staying at this rate of consumption until early 1994,only20units below hydroelectric energy During1994,dramatic changesoccurred.Consumption of Hydroelectric energy shot up 360 units of energy and consumption of coal energy plummeted to 100 units,marking a significant move to using energy from Hydro-electricity.36Report on Changes in product-sales in Japan,Indonesia and France during the period June1994 to January1997 In June 1994,Japanese sales were $20000.They fell sharply for tweleve months to us sales at all in June 1995,when a new marking strategy was introduced.Sales rocketed to $90000 by late 1996. Indonesiansales,inJune1994, were$50000,and rose steadily to $70000 in June1995.Sales dropped slightly to $60000in early 1996,but rose once more to $70000in January1997InJune1994,sales in Francewere$50000,but theyplunged to$10000,inJanuary1996,andvaried,slightly,around$10000,to January1997.Looking at the graph,we canfind that the new markingstrategy of June1995apparently worked wellonly in Japan,moderatelywell in Indonesia,and notwell in France.37Changes in customer basefor Waikco Supermarketbetween 1992and1996The graph shows thechanges in customer base forWaikco Supermarket from1992 to1996.In 1992,thecustomer base was mainlyretired people andfamilies,numbersbeing100000and90000customers respectively.Singlepeople made up 85000of thetotal customer base.In1994,single people andfamiliesremainedat1992level,at85000and90000respectively.However,the retired peoplecustomers dropped by 15000to95000.1996 again saw no chang inthe number of singlepeople,at85000.The retiredpeople base dropped by5000to90000,but thefamilies group rose by5000to95000The changed between1992and 1996meant that thecombined customer basedeclined by5000customers.39Changes in means ofcommunication inUKoffices,excluding thetelephone,in the periodfrom 1984 to 1996The graph shows thechanges in means ofcommunication in UKoffices between 1984 to1996.In 1984,70% of UK officesused telex, butusagegradually diminished and, in1990, only about 55% of UKoffices in 1996.Use of the fax, in 1984, wasvery limited in UK offices,at only 25% ofbusinesses.By1990,fax-usage had equaiedtele-usage at 505of officesand, then, usage surgedupwards to 90% ofcommunicating by fax in1996.It was clear that e-mail wasin UK offices until the early1990’s, but e-mail wasadopted by 30% of UKoffices in only five years.Comparison ofperformance of Scorpioand West End shares.The issue price of shares inScorpio was US$ 6 in late1986. The price then rose,but fell dramatically at theend of 1987. Pricesrecovered slightly in 1988,but were still below the issueprice. They fell again andrecovered to reach the issueprice in late 1988 when thecompany was bough back.The issue price of shares inthe West End Group was justover US$5 in January 1986,despite a couple of falls, theprices rose steadilythroughout the late 1980’sand never fell below theissue price. The buy-back inmid-1990 was almost fourtimes the issue prices.Looking at the general trend,West End shares performedmuch well than Scorpio’sbetween the issue date andthe buy-back date.。
