10、dge, catch the 7:34 train to Liverpool Street Station, then to separate and meet again for lunch. We should have arrived at Liverpool at 9:19, but due to a typical London fog, the train had to move along so slowly that it was not until 10:30 that it got there. In spite of our late arrival, Joan, my
11、wifes sister, decided that she would go to see the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London while we went shopping. It was only after her sister had disappeared into the fog that my wife realized that we hadnt made clear where we should meet for lunch. Since I had our three tickets for the concert in my
12、pocket, this was indeed a problem. There seemed to be nothing we could do other than taking a taxi to the Tower of London, and try to find her there. Needless to say, what we did was nothing but fruitless.It was then one oclock, and the concert began at 2:30. “Perhaps she will think of waiting outsi
13、de the concert hall,” suggested my wife hopefully. By this time the fog was so thick that road traffic had to stop, and the only way to get there was by underground railway. Hand in hand we felt our way along the road to where we thought the nearest station should be. An hour later we were still try
14、ing to find it. Just as I was about to lose my temper completely when we met a blind man tapping his way confidently through the fog. With his help we found Tower Hill tube station just fifty yards down the road.By now it was far too late even to try to get to the concert hall before the performance
15、 began at 2:30, so we decided to return to Cambridge. It took seven long hours instead of the usual two to make that journey. Nor were we able to get any food and drink on the train. Tired and hungry, we finally reached home at ten, opening the door to the sound of the telephone bell. It was Joan; s
16、he had seen the Crown Jewels, had managed to get another ticket for concert, and had had a wonderful dinner at a restaurant near the hotel where she decided to stay for the night. Now she was ringing to discover whether we had had an equally successful day.24.Why was Joan separated from her sister a
17、nd her brother-in-law?A. Because they arrived late at LiverpoolB. Because Joan had not seen the Crown JewelsC. Because they planned to do different things before noonD. Because her sister didnt want to go to the Tower of London25.The blind man offered help to the couple possibly by .A. leading the w
18、ay in personB. tapping the road confidentlyC. giving the couple detailed directionsD. encouraging the couple to be patient and confident26.The reason why they didnt all meet for lunch was that .A. they failed to find the right underground station in the thick fogB. they had some disagreement on the
19、place where they should meetC. they couldnt afford enough time to meet each otherD. they forgot to make necessary arrangement27.Its quite clear that for Joan the trip to London had been .A. quite fruitlessB. very delightfulC. rather tiringD. extremely busyCHoliday Inns and McDonalds, both saw unmatc
20、hed growth in the 1960s. Their growth opened another direct business operation-franchising(特许经营).These operations have the same general pattern. The franchisor, the parent company, first establishes a successful retail (零售)business. As it expands, it sees a profit potential in offering others the ri
21、ght to open similar business under its name. The parent companys methods and means of identification with consumers are included in this right. The parent company supplies skill, and may build and rent stores to franchisees. For these advantages the franchisee pays the franchisor a considerable fee.
22、 However, some of the advantages and disadvantages are different.By extending a proven marketing method, a parent can profit in several ways. First, the franchisees purchase price gives the parent an immediate return on the plan. Then the sale of supplies to the franchisee provides a continuing sour
23、ce of profits. As new businesses are added and the companys reputation spreads, the value of the franchise increases and sales of franchises become easier. The snowballing effect can be dramatic. Such growth, too, brings into play the economies of scale(规模经济). Regional or national advertising that m
24、ight be financially impossible for a franchisor with 20 franchises could be profitable for one with 40.The parent, then, finds immediate gains from the opportunity to expand markets on the basis of reputation alone, without having to put up capital or take the risk of owning retail stores. Added to
25、this advantage is a less obvious but material one. Skilled, responsible retail managers are rare. People who invest their capital in franchises, through, probably come closer to the ideal than do paid managers. In fact, the franchisee is an independent store operator working for the franchisor, but
26、without an independents freedom to drop supplies at will. Of course the factorys costs of selling supplies are less. But also certainly the franchisee buying goods that have had broad consumer acceptance will not casually change supplies, even when the contract permits. If the hamburger is not what
27、the customer expected, they may not return. Having paid for the goodwill, the franchisee wont thoughtlessly destroy it.Franchising may give you the idea that as a franchisor, you need only relax in the rocking chair. Franchising, however, has problems to be solved.28.Franchising refers to a business
28、 operation in which a successful parent company .A. sells name-brand goods to a private retailerB. rents proven ideas and techniques for investment(投资)C. sells the right, the guidance to a business under its nameD. takes no advertising responsibility for individual investors29.The advantages of fran
29、chising to the parent company are all the following EXCEPT .A. an immediate investment returnB. the ownership of additional retail storesC. the profit from the sale of suppliesD. the possibility of profitable advertising30.The passage mainly tells the reader .A. the advantages and disadvantages of f
30、ranchisingB. the benefits of franchising to the franchisorC. the unmatched economic growth in the 1960sD. the profitable regional business operation31.What will the author probably discuss after the last paragraph?A. More advantages of franchisingB. Risks of investment besides franchisingC. The prob
31、lems brought about by the franchisorD. Negative aspects related to franchisingDFor more than twenty years, scientists have been searching for signs of life on other planets. Most of these searches have been done over the radio. The hope is that someone in outer space may be trying to get in touch wi
32、th us. Scientists also have sent radio and television messages on spaceships traveling through space, on the chance that someone may be receptive to such messages.Scientists are using powerful radio telescopes to listen to signals from about 1,000 stars, all within 100 light years of earth. In addit
33、ion, they will scan the entire sky to listen for radio messages from more distant stars. Using a computer, they will be able to monitor more than eight channels at one time. Scientists are looking for any signal that stands out from the background noise.Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way gala
34、xy, scientists find that five percent are like our sun. Perhaps half of them have a planet like earth. Such a planet would be a reasonable distance from the star for temperatures to be right for the evolution of life. Based on the inhabitable (that can be lived in) planets in our galaxy, most scient
35、ists agree that chances are likely that one or more of these planets support some life.However, many scientists wonder whether intelligent life exists on other planets. Some believe that twenty years of searching without any intelligible messages shows that no one is out there. They say that the evo
36、lution of intelligence comparable to ours is unlikely.Other scientists believe that our search hasnt been long enough to rule out the possibility that intelligent life exists in our galaxy. Although our sun family is only about five billion years old, our galaxy is about 20 billion years old. In tha
37、t time, some scientists think it is likely that civilization much more advanced than ours have developed. Perhaps these civilizations send us no signals; perhaps we have not recognized the signals they have sent us. If we hope to find intelligent life, these scientists believe that we have to keep l
