W: What are you doing?
M: I’m ordering some filing cabinets out of a catalog.
W: What do you need them for?
M: There’s so much stuff piling up in my dormitory room. If I don’t do something soon, I won’t be able to move in there.
W: Do you usually order from a catalog?
M: Sometimes. Why?
W: Oh, it’s just in the history class today we were talking about how the catalog sales business first got started in the US. A Chicago retailer, Montgomery Ward started it in the late 1800s. It was really popular among farmers. It was difficult for them to make it to the big city stores so they ordered from catalogs.
M: Was Ward the only one in the business?
W: At first, but another person named Richard Sears started his own catalog after he heard how much money Ward was making.
M: What made them so popular?
W: Farmers trusted Ward and Sears for one thing. They delivered the products the farmers paid for and even refunded the price of tilings the farmers weren’t satisfied with. The catalogs became so popular that in some countries school teachers even used them as textbooks.
M: Textbooks?
W: Yeah, students practice spelling the names and adding up the prices of things in the catalogs.
M: Was everybody that thrilled about it?
W: That’s doubtful. Say they drove some small store owners out of business. Sears and Ward sold stuff in such large quantities. They were able to undercut the prices at some small family owned stores.
9. What is the conversation mainly about?
10. Why did Richard Sears start his own business in catalog?
11. Who were the main customers of Sears and Ward’s business?
12. Why was the catalog used as textbooks?
选项
A、It helped students with spelling and adding.
B、It helped students become familiar with a variety of goods.
C、Students might order tilings from the catalog.
D、Schools were short of textbooks at that time.
答案
A
解析
男士很惊奇地问:“Textbooks?”,下文女士给出了解释:“是啊,学生们用邮购表中事物的名称练习拼写,用其中的价格练习加法运算。”所以选A。适用“听到什么选什么”的原则。spelling与adding两个词一定会很“夺耳”!
