M:(5)You say your shop has been doing well. Could you give me some idea of what "doing well" means in facts and figures?
W: Well, "doing well" means averaging £1,200 or more a week for about 7 years, making almost a quarter of a million pounds. And "doing well" means your earnings are rising. Last year, we did slightly over 50,000 and this year, we hope to do more than 60,000. So, that’s good if we continue to rise.
M: Now, that’s gross earnings, I assume. What about your expenses?
W: Yes, that’s gross. The expenses, of course, go up steadily. And since we’ve moved to this new shop, the expenses have increased greatly, because it’s a much bigger shop. So I couldn’t say exactly what our expenses are. They are something in the region of six or seven thousand pounds a year, which is not high.(6)Commercially speaking, it’s fairly low, and we try to keep our expenses as low as we can.
M:(7)And your prices are much lower than the same goods in shops round about. How do the local shopkeepers feel about having a shop doing so well in their midst?
W: Perhaps a lot of them don’t realize how well we are doing, because we don’t make a point of publicizing. That was a lesson we learned very early on.(8)We were very friendly with all local shopkeepers and we happened to mention to a local shopkeeper how much we had made that week. He was very unhappy and never as friendly again. So we make a point of never publicizing the amount of money we make. But we are on very good terms with all the shops. None of them have ever complained that we are putting them out of business or anything like that. I think it’s a nice friendly relationship. Maybe if they did know what we made, perhaps they wouldn’t be so friendly.
Questions 5 to 8 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
5. What are the speakers mainly talking about?
6. What does the woman say her shop tries to do?
7. What do we learn about the goods sold at the woman’s shop?
8. Why doesn’t the woman want to make known their earnings anymore?
选项
A、The woman’s relationship with other shops.
B、The business success of the woman’s shop.
C、The key to running a shop at a low cost.
D、The woman’s earnings over the years.
答案
B
解析
对话开头男士就询问女士她所说的商店运营良好是什么意思,并要求女士用事实和数据解释一下,而在接下来的对话中,女士说明了自己的毛收入以及大概支出,并且说她们的商店在当地运转得的确很好。因此,对话中两人所谈论的主要内容是围绕女士的商店的良好运营展开的,故答案为B)。
