What is showrooming?
M: Hello, Linda.
W: Hello, Rob.
M: Happy New Year to you, Linda. The festival season is over. So did all that holiday shopping break the bank?
W: You mean, did I spend too much money? Well, yes, I did.
M: Well, do you know about showrooming?
W:(4)Yes, customers visit shops to see and test products before buying them online.
M: Yeah. You see, technology is changing the way we shop and it could spell disaster—or be very bad for—the high street.
W: The high street? You mean those everyday shops that we normally see in our town centers? Things like shoe shops, newsagents, supermarkets?
M: Yes. The high street is competing with the Internet,(5)I buy things like CDs, electrical goods and food online.
W: Ah. But have you ever "showroomed" before, Rob?
M: Yes, I showroomed and I bought a camera at a knockdown price online. I know I’m not alone in doing this though.(6)Research found 24% of people "showroomed" while Christmas shopping last year.
W: And a market research company also found one third of consumers around the world said they used this type of shopping.
M: Now, although people do it to try and save money, there are other reasons for this too.
W: What are they?
M: Three reasons for people to showroom.(7-1)They are short on time, short on money and they want reassurance.
W:(7-2)Yes, reassurance—so they want to know what the product really looks like and they want to be confident they are buying the right thing.
M: I think that’s true, I like to inspect what I am buying. If you go to a shop and look at the real thing, you get a much better idea of what it’s like. But I also want a bargain.
W: We could say they use the Internet to shop around.
M: That’s a good phrase, meaning to look around for the best deal.
选项
A、want to know more about pricing.
B、can return the product later.
C、want to see the real thing first.
D、can bargain for a lower shop price.
答案
C
解析
细节题。根据“They are short on time,short on money andthey want reassurance.”可知,人们“showroom”的原因有三点:缺钱、没时间、想要有把握,而女士的话“Yes,reassurance--so they want to know what the product reallylooks like and they want to be confident they are buying theright thing.”对reassurance进一步做出了解释,也就是说,人们希望在真正购买之前能够亲眼看下商品是什么样子的,因此[C]为正确答案。
