23、 youve used them to describe 37 .These comments may come from stories about us that have been 38 for - 6 -yearsoften from 39 childhood. These stories may have no 40 in fact. But they can set low expectations for us. As a child, my mother said to me, “Marshall, you have no mechanical (操作机械的) skills,

24、and you will never have any mechanical skills for the rest of your life.” How did these expectations 41 my development? I was never 42 to work on cars or be around 43 .

26、s.”Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills. I explained my life 47 and told him about my 48 performance on the Army test.

32、e retailer, and the man behind it is Ingvar Kamprad, one of the worlds most successful enterprisers. Born in Sweden in 1926, Kamprad was a natural businessman. As a child, he enjoyed selling things and made small profits from selling matches, seeds, and pencils in his community. When Kamprad was 17,

33、 his father gave him some money as a reward for his good grades. Naturally he used it to start up a businessIKEA.IKEAs name comes from Kamprads initials (I.K.) and the place where he grew up (E and A). Today IKEA is known for its modern, minimalist furniture, but it was not a furniture company in th

34、e beginning. Rather, IKEA sold all kinds of miscellaneous goods.Kamprads goods included anything that he could sell for profits at discounted prices, including watches, pens and stockings.IKEA first began to sell furniture through a mail-order catalogue in 1947. The furniture was all designed and ma

35、de by manufacturers near Kamprads home. - 8 -Initial sales were very encouraging, so Kamprad expanded the product lineFurniture was such a successful aspect of the business that IKEA became solely a furniture company in 1951.In 1953 IKEA opened its first showroom in Almhult, Sweden. IKEA is known to

36、day for its large stores with furniture in attractive settings, but in the early1950s, people ordered from catalogues. Thus response to the first showroom was overwhelming: people loved being able to see and try the furniture before buying it. This led to increased sales and the company continued to

37、 develop. By 1955, IKEA was designing all its own furniture. In 1956 Kamprad saw a man disassembling(拆卸) a table to make it easier to transport. Kamprad was inspired. The man had given him a great idea: flat packaging. Flat packaging would mean lower shipping costs for IKEA and lower prices for cust

38、omers. IKEA tried it and sales went up. The problem was that people had to assemble furniture themselves, but over time, even this grew into an advantage for IKEA. Nowadays, IKEA is often seen as having connotations(内涵) of self-sufficiency. This image has done wonders for the company, leading to bet

39、ter sales and continued expansionToday there are over 200 stores in 32 countries. Amazingly, Ingvar Kamprad has managed to keep IKEA a privately-held company. In 2004 he was named the worlds richest man. He currently lives in Switzerland and is retired from the day-to-day operations of IKEA. IKEA it

40、self, though, just keeps on growing. 56. The author states in Paragraph 6 that flat packaging_.A. needs large space to assembly furniture B. is a business concept inspired by KampradC. helps reduce transportation costs D. makes the company self-sufficient57. What is the main idea of the passage?A. I

41、ngvar Kamprad is the richest man in the world.B. IKEA is the worlds largest furniture retailer.C. The advantage of IKEAs furniture is dissembling.- 9 -D. Ingvar Kamprad established IKEA and led it to great success.58. What is the authors attitude towards IKEAs future according to the last paragraph?

42、 A. Indifferent B. Optimistic C. Doubtful D. PessimisticBWhen international aid is given, steps must be taken to ensure that the aid reaches the people for whom it is intended. The way to achieve this may not be simple. It is very difficult for a nation to give help directly to people in another nat

43、ion. The United Nations Organization (UNO) could undertake to direct the distribution of aid. Here however rises the problem of costs. Also tied with this is time. Perhaps the UNO could set up a body of devoted men and women in every country who can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods and e

44、arthquakes.More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster, it would be more effective to give other forms of help during normal times. A common proverb says, “Give me a fish and I eat for a day, teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime.” If we follow this wise saying, it w

45、ould be right to teach people from less developed nations to take care of themselves. For example, a country could share its technology with another. This could be in simple areas like agriculture or in more complex areas like medical and health care or even in building satellites. Even a small coun

46、try is able to help less developed nations. Sometimes what is taken for granted, like the setting up of a water purification plant or the administration of a school, could be useful for countries which are looking about to solve common problems. It does not cost much to share such simple things. Exc

47、hange students could be attached for a number of months or years and learn the required craft while on the site. They can then take their knowledge back to their homelands and if necessary come back from time to time to clear doubts or to update themselves. Such aid will be truly helpful and there i

48、s no chance of it being temporary or of it falling into - 10 -the wrong hands.Many countries run extensive courses in all sorts of skills. It will not cost much to include deserving foreigners in these courses. Besides giving effective help to the countries concerned, there is also the build-up of friendships to consider. Giving direct help by giving materials may be effective in the short run and must continue to be given in the event of emergencies. However, in the long run what is really effective would be the sharing of knowledge.59. According to the author, how could interna
