The Auto Show, which is being held right now in Beijing, has risen to the top ranks of global auto industry events, as China has become the world"s biggest auto market.For many Chinese youngsters, having a car has become a new lifestyle reflecting freedom and success
First, there is the thrill of individual mobility and freedom, going from one place to another in their own time, and on their own terms.
"I like the speed; I like the freedom; I can"t imagine not having a car," Hou Mingxin, 39, owner of two cars, told the Financial Times.
And these youngsters don"t just want freedom through car ownership, but also a larger social circle.Thanks to the Internet, car owners can band together for leisure activities, such as going strawberry picking in the countryside.It is an activity that many car lovers would never have attempted without the benefits of a car.
In China, the car is also a status symbol."It"s an opportunity to declare personal success," said Michael Dunne, a Shanghai-based managing director of J.D.Power and Associates, an auto industry group."The small, environmentally-friendly models are not best sellers in China.The Chinese are crazy about big cars, a symbol of achievement," said Dunne.
Thanks to a growing middle-class, and an increasingly developed network of roads, the number of car owners in China is rapidly increasing. China last year replaced the US and became the world"s largest car market with 13.6 million vehicles sold.
But the car craze(狂热) has raised environmental and traffic concerns. Many worry that car emissions could take pollution to a new level. Heavy traffic also troubles many Chinese cities.
China is discovering the romance of the road just as developed countries seem to have lost it. “The younger generation in mature markets is unwilling to buy cars, especially in Europe and Japan," says Klaus Paur, of TNS Auto in Shanghai.
In developed countries, owning a car can be expensive, with the parking fees car insurance and various taxes, said a 2008 article in US magazine Newsweek.
"Having a car is so 20th century," Kimiyuki Suda, a young white collar worker from Tokyo told Newsweek.He mostly uses subways and trains."It"s not inconvenient at all."

Is the customer always right? 小题1: Shopping is very much a part of a country’s culture, and
attitudes to shopping and consumers vary from country to country just as much as climate or taste
in food.
Recent economic hardship has given the consumers increased power in Europe because shopkeepers fight to win their share of reduced disposable(可支配的)income.This has meant failing prices,plenty of special offers and a re-examination of what customer service really means.小题2:In restaurants in the south of the USA,for example,waiters compliment.(恭维)you on your clothes,ask about your day,compliment you on your wisdom of your order and then return every ten minutes to refill your glass and make sure that everything is to your satisfaction.
Anyone who has waited 30 minutes to be served in fl restaurant may possibly dream of such customer service.小题3: a fact,different nationalities expect different types of service.As a friend of mine once told me,"By the end of evening I had spent as much time talking to the waiter as to my wife."
A Chinese-American friend loves telling people about how her Chinese mother shops for clothes.First of all she waits until they are on sale.小题4:And later she finds some small fault with the product and demands a further reduction.She never buys anything at the regular price.Could you imagine trying such ways in department stores in other countries?
Attitudes to service are,of course,affected by employers’ attitudes to their workers.As American waiters heavily depend on tips,they have to provide more service.But is this fair?小题5:It might not be a case of"Is the customer always right ?"but a case of” How much service is it fair to expect?"
A.People often point to America as an example of good customer service. |
B.It is a question of expectations. |
C.Do we think it is fair to ask shop assistants to work late evenings or on Sundays? |
D.Then she asks for a discount until she gets an even better price. |
F.The way we shop shows the way we get along with other people.
G.However,do Europeans really want US style service?
A.90s ; the | B.the 90s; / | C.90s; their | D.the 90s ; their |
McDonald"s Corporation (NYSE: MCD) is the world"s largest chain of hamburger fast food restaurants, serving nearly 47 million customers daily._____小题1:_____Brands (KFC, Taco Bell and others) and sandwich chain Subway.
In addition to its signature restaurant chain, McDonald’s Corporation held a minority interest in Pret A Manger until 2008, and owned the Chipotle Mexican Grill until 2006 and the restaurant chain Boston Market until 2007._____小题2:____The corporations" revenues come from the rent, royalties and fees paid by the franchisees, as well as sales in company-operated restaurants.
____小题3:_____In response to obesity trends in western nations and in the face of criticism over the healthiness of its products, the company has modified its menu to include such healthier alternatives as salads, wraps and fruit.
The business began in 1940, with a restaurant opened by brothers Dick and Mac McDonald in San Bernardino, California.Their introduction of the "Speedee Service System" in 1948 established the principles of the modern fast-food restaurant.The original mascot of McDonald"s was a man with a chef"s hat on top of a hamburger shaped head whose name was "Speedee." Speedee was eventually replaced with Ronald McDonald in 1963.
The first McDonald"s restaurants opened in the United States, Canada, Costa Rica, Japan, the Netherlands, Germany, Australia, France, El Salvador and Sweden in order of openings.The present corporation dates its founding to the opening of a franchised restaurant by Ray Kroc, in Des Plaines, Illinois on April 15, 1955, the ninth McDonald"s restaurant overall.____小题4:___Kroc was also noted for aggressive business practices, compelling the McDonald brothers to leave the fast food industry.The McDonald brothers and Kroc feuded over control of the business, as documented in both Kroc"s autobiography and in the McDonald brothers" autobiography._____小题5:____
A.McDonald"s primarily sells hamburgers, cheeseburgers, chicken products, french fries, breakfast items, soft drinks, milkshakes and desserts. |
B.The site of the McDonald brothers" original restaurant is now a monument. |
C.At one time it was the largest global restaurant chain, but it has since beensurpassed by multi-brand operator Yum! |
D.Each McDonald"s restaurant is operated by a franchisee, an affiliate, or the corporation itself. |
F.Kroc later purchased the McDonald brothers" equity in the company and led its worldwide expansion and the company became listed on the public stock markets in 1965.
