The holiday shopping season got off to a flying start over the Thanksgiving(感恩节)weekend in the U.S. Retailers(零售商)attracted discount-hungry consumers with specials(特价商品)of televisions, DVD players and other gifts. Discounters like Wal-Mart and Target had the greatest success, offering customers early bird specials, while major department stores and clothing chains only met modest sales goals. Online sales were also strong.
"It was as expected. It wasn’t source of great prosperity, but it was a good start," said Nevill, a man in a U.S. retail consulting firm. He said, "One thing we often heard was that only things marked down(降价)were selling. Consumers want a bargain, especially around the holiday." Shoppers did seem to like the many markdowns. A lady in the State of Connecticut said, "I’ve never seen so many sales. I feel like a kid in a candy store."
Nevill estimated that discounters had a 4% gain over last year’s Thanksgiving figure, while sales at department stores and mall-based clothing chains were up 2% for the weekend. However, the Thanksgiving weekend is not necessarily a good way to judge how retailers will be successful for the season. Over the past few years, the weekend accounted for less than 10% of sales.
Online merchants also had a good weekend. Sales were up 61% last Friday, compared to the day after Thanksgiving a year ago.
By saying "I feel like a kid in a candy store," the lady in Connecticut probably means that_____.
选项
A、she has difficulty choosing from such a wide variety of goods
B、she cannot decide whether she should buy some candy
C、she is quite interested in buying candy
D、she recalls her happy childhood days
答案
A
解析
根据题目中引述的话语定位到第二段最后一句。本题询问康涅狄格州一位女士所说:“我觉得自己仿佛是身处糖果店的小孩”的意思。根据前面一句“我从没见过这么多打折商品(never seen so manysales)”,可知她在惊叹商品种类太多,反而觉得难以挑选。故A项正确。
