题目： Farmers

题型：配对题8+填空5

文章大意：

讲述新西兰一个mail order company 后来发展成买各种东西的全球连锁公司，员工的幸福指数很高。

参考文章（仅供参考）：

The Farmers! Parade of history

A History of Farmer trading company: In 1909 Robert Laidlaw establishes

mail-order company Laidlaw Leeds in Fort Street, Auckland. Then, Branch

expansion: purchase of Green and Colebrook chain store; further

provincial stores in Auckland and Waikato to follow. Opening of first

furniture and boot factory. In 1920, Company now has 29 branches;

Whangarei store purchased. Doors open at Hobson Street for direct selling

to public. Firm establishes London and New York buying offices. With

permission from the Harbour Board, the large FARMERS electric sign on the

Wyndham Street frontage is erected.

B In 1935, if the merchandise has changed, the language of the catalogues

hasn’t. Robert Laidlaw, the Scottish immigrant who established the

century-old business, might have been scripting a modem-day television

commercial when he told his earliest customers: Satisfaction, or your

money back. "It was the first money back guarantee ever offered in New

Zealand by any firm, " says Ian Hunter, business historian. "And his

mission statement was, potentially, only the second one ever found in the

world. " Laidlaw’s stated aims were simple to build the greatest business

in New Zealand, to simplify every transaction, to eliminate all delays,

to only sell goods it would pay the customer to buy.

C This year, the company that began as a mail-order business and now

employs 3500staff across 58 stores turns 100. Its centenary will be

celebrated with the release of a book and major community fundraising

projects, to be announced next week. Hunter, who is writing the centenary

history, says "coming to a Farmers store once a week was a part of the

New Zealand way of life". By 1960, one in every 10 people had an account

with the company. It was the place where teenage girls shopped for their

first bra, where newlyweds purchased their first dinner sets, where first

pay cheques were used to pay off hire purchase furniture, where Santa

paraded every Christmas.

D Gary Blumenthal’s mother shopped there, and so does he. The fondest

memory for the Rotorua resident? "We were on holiday in Auckland . . . I

decided that up on the lookout tower on top of the Farmers building would

be a unique place to fit the ring on my new fiancée’s finger. " The

lovebirds, who had to wait for "an annoying youth" to leave the tower

before they could enjoy their engagement kiss, celebrate their 50th

wedding anniversary in June.

E Farmers, says Hunter, has always had a heart. This, from a 1993 North &

South interview with a former board chairman, Rawdon Busfield: "One day I

was in the Hobson Street shop and I saw a woman with two small children.

They were clean and tidily dressed, but poor, you could tell. That week

we had a special on a big bar of chocolate for one shilling. I heard the

woman say to her boy, "no, your penny won’t buy that’. He wasn’t wearing

shoes. So I went up to the boy and said, "Son, have you got your penny?’

He handed it to me. It was hot he’d had it in his hand for hours. I took

the penny and gave him the chocolate. "

F Farmers was once the home of genteel tearooms, children’s playgrounds

and an annual sale of celebration for birthday of Hector the Parrot (the

store mascot died, aged 131, in the 1970s his stuffed remains still

occupy pride of place at the company’s head office). You could buy houses

from Farmers. Its saddle factory supplied the armed forces, and its

upright grand overstrung pianos offered "the acme of value" according to

those early catalogues hand-drawn by Robert Laidlaw himself. Walk through

a Farmers store today and get hit by bright lights and big brands. Its

Albany branch houses 16 international cosmetics companies. It buys from

approximately 500 suppliers, and about 30% of those are locally owned.

G "Eight, 10 years ago, " says current chief executive Rod McDermott,

"lots of brands wouldn’t partner with us. The stores were quite

distressed. We were first price point focused, we weren’t fashion

focused. "Remove the rose-tinted nostalgia, and Farmers is, quite simply,

a business, doing business in hard times. Dancing with the Stars

presenter Candy Lane launches a clothing line? "We put a trial on, and we

thought it was really lovely, but the uptake wasn’t what we thought it

would be. It’s got to be what the customer wants, " says McDermott.

H He acknowledges retailers suffer in a recession: "We’re celebrating 100

years because we can and because we should. " Farmers almost didn’t pull

through one economic crisis. By the mid 1980s, it had stores across the

country. It had acquired the South Island’s Calder Mackay chain of stores

and bought out Hay wrights. Then, with sales topping $375 million, it was

taken over by Chase Corporation. Lincoln Laidlaw, now aged 88, and the

son of the company’s founder, remembers the dark days following the stock

market crash and the collapse of Chase. "I think, once, Farmers was like

a big family and all of the people who worked for it felt they were

building something which would ultimately be to their benefit and to the

benefit of New Zealand. . . then the business was being divided up and so

that kind of family situation was dispelled and it hasn’t been recovered.

"For a turbulent few years, the stores were controlled, first by a

consortium of Australian banks and later Deka, the Maori Development

Corporation and Foodland Associated Ltd. In 2003, it went back to

"family" ownership, with the purchase by the James Pascoe Group, owned by

David and Anne Norman the latter being the great-granddaughter of James

Pascoe, whose first business interest was jewellery.

J "Sheer power of the brand, " says McDermott, "pulled Farmers through

and now we’re becoming the brand it used to be again. " Farmers were the

company that, during World War II, topped up the wages of any staff

member disadvantaged by overseas service. Robert Laidlaw a committed

Christian who came to his faith at a 1902 evangelistic service in Dunedin

concluded his original mission statement with the words, "all at it,

always at it, wins success". Next week, 58 Farmers stores across the

country will announce the local charities they will raise funds for in

their centenary celebration everything from guide dog services to

hospices to volunteer fire brigades will benefit. Every dollar raised by

the community will be matched by the company. "It’s like the rebirth of

an icon, " says McDermott.

雅思写作机经

Task 1

今天的雅思小作文是好久没有出现的混合图表，分别是一张表格和动态的柱形图。表格可以说是形同虚

设，有用的信息不是很多，考生们要把信息重点花在柱形图的描写

上。柱形图也非常简单，是典型的动态图，要注意趋势和对比。相信今天的考生们肯定会在小作文中获得不

错的分数。

The following chart and tablegive information of UK cruise passengers in

1975 and 2003.

percent by age

Total number

1995

397837

2003

1005231

These two charts present the information with regard to the total cruise

passenger number and the percentage of two different years among

different age groups.

The figures for the UK cruise passengers in 1975 showed an upward trend

in all age groups. In the former three age groups, the percentages were

all below 10%. And then it increased by 10~20 % every decade, reaching

35% among those age are between 55~64. Obviously, cruise was the most

popular among those aged over 65, seven times the number of the youngest

age group.

There were 1005231 passengers cruising in the year of 2003, much higher

than that in 1995. Likewise, the proportion of 2003 also experienced a

similar tendency. There were 10% of cruise passengers in the

under-24-year-olds group, to which the smallest percentage belonged. The

following age groups saw a gradual rise every decade, from 15% in the

25-to-34-year-olds to 33% in the 55-to-64-year-olds group. Among the

passengers whose age was over 65, nearly 50% of them went on a cruise.

To conclude, cruise becomes more popular among different age groups and

the interest become keener as age grows.

题目类别:生活方式，教育

提问方式:A/D

考试题目:

Some people think reading

stories in book is better than watching TV or playing computer games for

children, To what extent do you agree or disagree?

分析：

这次的题目是一种观点的，属于老题翻新，可以套用传统媒介和新型媒介的优缺点比较

范文思路：

书籍的优点：阅读书籍是一种综合性的能力，阅读书籍不影响孩子们的视力

电视和电脑游戏的优缺点：形象生动，易于孩子学习获得信息，但是活动的画面会分心，电子设备需要通电，

有电源的限制

范文参考：

Reading stories in books is a basic way for children to obtain knowledge

and open their minds. Although watching TV and playing computer games are

also popular educational methods among children, reading bookstore, in my

view, is still better because of effectiveness and health.

Compared to TV and games, learning by reading is more effective since it

is a synthetic skill. Like any other skills, reading takes practice.

Children learn to read by sounding out the letters and finding the

meaning of the words. Then, they begin to comprehend the context,

paragraph and chapter. To fully understand the content, children have to

give all their attention to the text. Also, more than just understanding

a certain topic, children tend to develop reasoning, imagination and

critical thinking during reading books, which will help them to learn

more efficiently and deeply in the future.

In addition, reading books is good to children’s eyesight. According to

some researches, spending too much time before a computer screen or

watching TV will lead to shortsightedness. Therefore, reading is better

for both efficiency and health purpose.

Admittedly, the knowledge disseminated by vivid pictures on screen is

easier for children to catch information, but too many moving objects and

colorful images will distract children, especially to some young kids,

from their primary tasks. Moreover, using TV and computers too long will

lead to a sedentary life that is more harmful to one’s wrist and back.

In conclusion, reading stories in book is better than TV and computers

for it is a more effective way to learn and better for health.

 

雅思口语机经

一、考试整体概述：

9月换题之后，目前的口语题库已经非常稳定，请同学们扎实准备。以下为本场高频

1. a time you had a disagreement with your friend

2. a long walk

3. an important conversation

4. a gift took you long time to choose

5. an ideal house

6. a small successful business

7. a special thing you want to buy

二、本场新难题及解析

Describe a disagreement with a friend

You should say:

When and where it happened

What you disagreed on

How you resolved the disagreement

And explain how you felt about it

I am a pretty mild person so I rarely have a disagreement with a friend .

Well, having said that, I remember a time when I had a disagreement with

my best friend about the forever-controversial question: Who is the

strongest super hero?

My best friend and I are both die-hard Marvel fans. While I am crazy

about Iron Man, my friend chooses to vote for Hulk. You can imagine the

argument we had defending our own favorites. Last weekend, the same thing

happened again. We had this “who is the best super hero?”talk the whole

time during dinner. In my view, Iron Man is charming, intelligent and of

great leadership, let alone his unrivalled armor. If he is not the one,

who is? Despite of my eloquence, my friend insisted that Hulk is immortal

and full of humanity, which should be the essence of being a super hero.

What started as a small, silly thing quickly blew up and turned ugly.

While we were debating in a heated way, other friends all tried to stay

out of it and not to take sides. After about half an hour we realized how

silly it was and agreed to put aside our different opinions. Anyway, as

long as we enjoyed the movie what else should we ask for?

I kind of find this whole thing entertaining and a frivolous disagreement

would never hurt anyone’s friendship. We made up with each other quickly.
