    Millions of Americans have been heading to the shops on Black Friday, a crucial event for US retailers. Many stores open their doors overnight, hoping to entice customers with cut-price bargains. Black Friday-the day after the Thanksgiving public holiday-is traditionally the start of the Christmas shopping season.
    Consumers are spending in an uncertain environment as fears about the health of the US economy
    persist. Thousands of people queued late on Thursday evening in the hope of being the first to find a
    bargain, with many shops offering deep discounts on clothing, electronic goods and toys.
    "Several chains opened even earlier than the typical midnight start. Children's retailer Toys R Us threw open its doors at 22:00 on Thursday for the first time. Others stayed open after trading on Thanksgiving
    itself. Judging from the excitement at Toys R Us at 10 pm (on Thursday) and throughout the evening, the
    shopper is back, " Toys R Us chief executive Jerry Storch told Reuters. Department store Macy's said it
    had 7,000 shoppers outside its flagship Herald Square store in Manhattan in the early hours of Friday
    morning, some 2,000 more than last year.
    Despite continued concerns over the US economy and a stubbornly high unemployment rate of 9.6%,
    analysts are predicting a better holiday season than last year. The National Retail Federation says it expects sales to be 2.3% higher than 2009, to totalling $447m (285m). That could bode well for the US economy, with consumer spending making up about 70% of total economic output. "This is shaping up to be one
    of the biggest Black Fridays we've seen," said David Bassuk, managing director at consulting firm Alix
    Partners.
    Black Friday is so named because it is the day of the year when retailers traditionally hope to leave the "red" and enter the " black ", breaking even or making a profit.

  • 日常生活类阅读

日常生活类阅读的概念:

日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作,生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时,最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容,时间和地点。


日常生活类阅读题答题技巧:

【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小,追根溯源,探索各项风俗的历史渊源,内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主,如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松,试题做起来比较顺手,但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神,就会丢分。   
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率,建议同学们做好以下几点:   
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现,越是容易的试题,同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢?因为在这种情况下,同学们极易产生麻痹思想,认为题目好做,就不引起高度重视,于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点,设计陷阱题。所以,无论试题难易与否,我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易,不欣喜;试题难,不悲观。   
2、根据前面讲到的方法,认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。   
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义,确定多义词或短语在文中的意思,确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象,或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子,切不可望文生义。   
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提,以具体事实为依据进行推理,做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接,只要弄清事实,即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
