The best Retailers Combine Bricks and Clicks
A) Retail profits are falling sharply. Stores are closing.
Malls are emptying. The depressing stories just keep coming.
Reading the earnings announcements of large retail stores like
Macy's, Nordstorm, and Target is about as uplifting as a tour
of an intensive care unit. The internet is apparently taking
down yet another industry. Brick and mortar stores (实体店)
seem to be going the way of the yellow pages. Sure enough, the
Census Bureau just released data showing that online retail
sales surged 15.2 percent between the first quarter of 2021 and
the first quarter of 2021.
B) But before you dump all of your retail stocks, there are
more facts you should consider. Looking only at that 15.2
percent "surge" would be misleading. It was an increase that
was on a small base of 6.9 percent. Even when a tiny number grows
by a large percentage terms, it is often still tiny.
C) More than 20 years after the internet was opened to
commerce, the Census Bureau tells us that brick and mortar sales
accounted for 92.3 percent of retail sales in the first quarter
第 2 页 共 8 页 of 2021. Their data show that only 0.8 percent of retail sales
shifted from offline to online between the beginning of 2021
and 2021.
D) So, despite all the talk about drone (无人机) deliveries
to your doorstep, all the retail executives expressing anxiety
over consumers going online, and even a Presidential candidate
exclaiming that Amazon has a "huge antitrust problem," the
Census data suggest that physical retail is thriving. Of course,
the closed stores, depressed executives, and sinking stocks
suggest otherwise. What's the real story?
E) Many firms operating brick and mortar stores are in
trouble. The retail industry is getting "reinvented," as we
describe in our new book Matchmarkers. It's standing in the path
of what Schumpeter called a gale (大风) of creative destruction.
That storm has been brewing for some time, and as it has reached
gale force, most large retailers are searching for a response.
As the CFO of Macy's put it recently, "We're frankly scratching
our heads."
F) But it's not happening as experts predicted. In the peak
of the dot. com bubble, brick and mortar retail was one of these
industries the internet was going to kill—and quickly. The dot.
com bust discredited most predictions of that sort and in the
第 3 页 共 8 页 years that followed, conventional retailers' confidence in the
future increased as Census continued do report weak online
sales. And then the gale hit.
G) It is becoming increasingly clear that retail
reinvention isn't a simple battle to the death between bricks
and clicks. It is about devising retail models that work for
people who are making increasing use of a growing array of
internet-connected tools to change how they search, shop, and
buy. Creative retailers are using the new technologies to
innovate just about everything stores do from managing
inventory, to marketing, to getting paid.
H) More than drones dropping a new supply of underwear on
your doorstep, Apple's massively successful
brick-and-mortar-and-glass retail stores and Amazon's small
steps in the same direction are what should keep old-fashioned
retailers awake at night. Not to mention the large number of
creative new retailers, like Bonobos, that are blending online
and offline experiences in creative ways.
I) Retail reinvention is not a simple process, and it's also
not happening on what used to be called "Internet Time." Some
internet-driven changes have happened quickly, of course.
Craigslist quickly overtook newspaper classified ads and
第 4 页 共 8 页 turned newspaper economics upside down. But many widely
anticipated changes weren't quick, and some haven't really
started. With the benefit of hindsight (后见之明), it looks
like the internet will transform the economy at something like
the pace of other great inventions like electricity. B2B
commerce, for example, didn't move mainly online by 2005 as many
had predicted in 2000, nor even by 2021, but that doesn't mean
it won't do so over the next few decades.
J) But the gale is still blowing. The sudden decline in foot
traffic in recent years, even though it hasn't been accompanied
by a massive decline in physical sales, is a critical warning.
People can shop more efficiently online and therefore don't
need to go to as many stores to find what they want. There's
a surplus of physical shopping space for the crowds, which is
one reason why stores are downsizing and closing.
K) The rise of the mobile phone has recently added a new

Definitions of Obesity
A： How does one define when a person is considered to be obese and not just
somewhat overweight? Height-weight tables give an approximate guideline as to
whether one is simply overweight or has passed into the obese stage.
B： The World Health Organization recommends using a formula that takes into
account a person's height and weight.The "Body Mass Index" (BMI) is calculated
by dividing the person's weight in kilograms by the square of their height in
meters，and is thus given in units of kg/m2.A BMI of 18.5-24.9 is considered to
be the healthiest.A BMI of between 25 and 29.9 is considered to be overweight，while a BMI of over 30 is considered to be obese.
C： However，it is recognized that this definition is limited as it does not
take into account such variables as age，gender and ethnic origin，the latter

Facing water shortages and escalating fertilizer costs, farmers in
developing countries are using raw sewage下水道污水to irrigate and fertilize
nearly 49 million acres of cropland, according to
a new report-and it may not be a bed thing.
While the practice carries serious health risks for many, those dangers
are outweighed by the social and economic gains for poor urban farmers and
consumers who need affordable food.
"There is a large potential for wastewater agriculture to both help and
hurt great numbers of urban consumers," said Liqa Raschid-Sally, who led the
study.
The report focused on poor urban areas, where farms in or near cities
supply relatively inexpensive food. Most of these operations draw irrigation
water from local rivers or lakes. Unlike
developed cities, however, these areas lack advanced water-treatment

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
Our culture has caused most Americans to assume not only that
our language is universal but that the gestures we use are
understood by everyone. We do not realize that waving good-bye
is the way to summon a person from the Philippines to one’s
side, or that in Italy and some Latin-American countries,
curling the finger to oneself is a sign of farewell.
Those private citizens who sent packages to our troops
occupying Germany after World War II and marked them GIFT to
escape duty payments did not bother to find out that “Gift”
means poison in German. Moreover, we like to think of ourselves
as friendly, yet we prefer to be at least 3 feet or an arm’s length away from others. Latins and Middle Easterners like
to come closer and touch, which makes Americans uncomfortable.

Living with parents edges out other living arrangements for
18- to 34-year-olds
A)Broad demographic (人口的）shifts in marital status,
educational attainment and employment have transformed the way
young adults in the U. S. are living, and a new Pew Research
Center analysis highlights the implications of these changes
for the most basic element of their lives -- where they call
home. In 2021, for the first time in more than 130 years, adults
ages 18 to 34 were slightly more likely to be living in their
parents' home than they were to be living with a spouse or
partner in their own household.
B)This turn of events is fueled primarily by the dramatic
drop in the share of young Americans who are choosing to settle
down romantically before age 35. Dating back to 1880, the most

2021 年 6 月英语六级阅读真题(第二套) 汽车、科技与未来
2021 年 6 ⽉（第⼆套） Car, Technology and Future 汽⻋、科技与未来The car has reshaped our cities.It seems to offer autonomy for everyone.There is something almost delightful in the detachment from reality of advertisements showing mass-produced cars marketed as symbols of individuality and of freedom when most of their lives will be spent making short journeys on choked roads.For all the fuss made about top speeds, cornering ability and acceleration, the most useful gadgets on a modern car are those which work when you're going very slowly: parking sensors, sound systems, and navigation apps which will show a way around upcoming traffic jams.This seems to be one of the few areas where the benefit of sharing personal information comes straight back to the sharer: because these apps know where almost all the users are, and how fast they are movingalmost all the time, they can spot very quickly and suggest ways round it.汽⻋重新塑造了我们的城市。它似乎能为每个⼈提供⾃主权。有趣的是，汽⻋的⼴告和现实脱节，这些⼴告将批量⽣产的汽⻋标榜为为个性和⾃由的标志，但⼤部分时间，这些汽⻋都在拥挤的路上穿梭。尽管⼈们对汽⻋的最⾼速度、过弯能⼒和加速都很关注，但现代汽⻋上最有⽤的还是那些在你⾏驶⾮常慢的时候还能⽤的配件：停⻋传感器、⾳响系统和能帮助避开前⽅拥堵道路的导航应⽤程序。traffic congestion这似乎是仅有的⼏个分享个⼈信息能给分享者带来直接好处的领域之⼀，因为这些程序知道⽤户的位置以及移动的速度，所以它们能监测到交通堵塞并迅速建议绕道。The problem comes when everyone is using a navigation app which tells them to avoid everyone else using the same gadget.Traffic jams often appear where no one has enough information to avoidthem.When a lucky few have access to the knowledge, they will benefit greatly.But when everyone has perfect information, traffic jams simply spread onto the side roads that seem to offer a way round them.This new congestion teaches us two things.The first is that the promises of technology will never be realized as fully as we hope; they will be limited by their unforeseen and unintended consequences.Sitting in a more comfortable car in a different traffic jam is pleasant but hardly the liberation that once seemed to be promised.The second is that self-organization will not get us where we want to go.但是当每个⼈都在同⼀个导航系统时，问题就来了——导航会告诉他们避开使⽤相同系统的⼈。交通堵塞往往发⽣在⼈们没有⾜够的信息以避免堵塞的时候。当只有少部分幸运⼉知道这件事时，他们会获益颇丰。但是当所有⼈都掌握完美信息时，交通堵塞就会蔓延到另⼀条看似能避免堵塞的道路上。新的拥堵现象教会我们两件事。⾸先，科技带来的承诺并不会如我们期待那样完全实现，科技的能⼒会因为⽆法预⻅和意外的结果受到限制。在不同的堵塞路段中，坐在更舒适的⻋内是很惬意的，但并不是⾃由的，⽽后者却是汽⻋⼴告曾承诺过的。第⼆件事是⾃我⾏动并不能保证带我们去想去的地⽅。The efforts of millions of drivers to get ahead do not miraculously produce a situation in which everyone does better than before, but one in which almost everyone does rather worse.Central control and collective organization can produce smoother and fairer outcomes, though even that much is never guaranteed.Similar limits can be foreseen for the much greater advances promised by self-driving st week, one operated by the taxi company Uber struck and killed a woman pushing her bicycle across a wide road in .This was the first recorded death involving a car which was supposed tobe fully autonomous.Experts have said that it suggests a "catastrophic failure" of technology.Increasingly, even has to acknowledge the costs of the intoxicating hurry that characterizes its culture.What traffic teaches us is that reckless and uncontrolled change is as likely to harm us as it is to benefit us, and that thoughtful regulation is necessary for a better future.数百万司机的努⼒不会奇迹般地创造出⽐之前更好的局⾯，甚⾄会造成更糟糕的局⾯。中央控制和集体组织能产⽣更平稳、更公平的结果，但即使如此，很多东⻄也是⽆法保证的。⾃动驾驶汽⻋虽然承诺拥有更优秀的性能，但其受到的限制也是可以预⻅的。Arizona上周，在亚利桑那州的⼀条⼤路上，出租⻋公司优步旗下的⼀辆⾃动驾驶汽⻋撞死了⼀名正推着⾃⾏⻋过⻢路的⼥⼠。这是第⼀次记录在案的全⾃动驾驶汽⻋致死事件。专家曾说这意味着科技的“灾难性失败”。Silicon Valley甚⾄硅⾕都不得不承认塑造了其⽂化的急迫情绪所造成的代价。交通教给我们的是，不计后果、不可控的改变是有利有弊的，为了创造更好的未来，深思熟虑的管控是必要的。
