2 Shop-lifters can be divided into three main categories: the professionals, the deliberate amateurs, and the people who just can't help themselves. The professionals do not pose much of a problem for the store detectives, who, assisted by closed circuit television, two way mirrors and various other technological devices, can usually cope with them. The professionals tend to go for high value goods in parts of the shops where security measures are tightest. And, in any case, they account for only a small percentage of the total losses due to shop-lifting.
3 The same applies to the deliberate amateur who is, so to speak, a professional in training. Most of them get caught sooner or later, and they are dealt with severely by the courts.
4 The real problem is the person who gives way to a sudden temptation and is in all other respects an honest and law-abiding citizen. Contrary to what one would expect, this kind of
shop-lifter is rarely poor. He does not steal because he needs the goods and cannot afford to pay for them. He steals because he simply cannot stop himself. And there are countless others who, because of age, sickness or plain absent-mindedness, simply forget to pay for what they take from the shops. When caught, all are liable to prosecution, and the decision whether to send for the police or not is in the hands of the store manager.
5 In order to prevent the quite incredible growth in shop-lifting offences, some stores, in fact, are doing their best to separate the thieves from the confused by prohibiting customers from taking bags into the store. However, what is most worrying about the whole problem is, perhaps, that it is yet another instance of the innocent majority being penalized and inconvenienced because of the actions of a small minority. It is the aircraft hijack situation in another form. Because of the possibility of one passenger in a million boarding an aircraft with a weapon, the other 999,999 passengers must subject themselves to searches and delays. Unless the situation in the shops improves, in ten years' time we may all have to subject ourselves to a body-search every time we go into a store to buy a tin of beans!
Why does the honest public have to pay higher prices when they go to the shops？
A．There is a "shrinkage" in market values.
B．Many goods are not available.
C．Goods in many shops lack variety.
D．There are many cases of shop-lifting.

What I like about the Fortune 500 list
The Fortune 500 isn't made for light reading. (8) ________ The 500 is based on U. S.-based compaflje5, publicly reported revenue, not on any quality-based metrics, You get high-grade companies such as Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (No. 7) nestled near utter dogs such as Fannie Mae (No. 5). (9) ________ My favorites:
LeBron who？ Last summer, Cleveland sustained a psychic trauma when basketball star LeBron James dumped the Cavaliers and went to Miami. Now the home of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has gotten a little mojo back by adding a company to the Fortune 500: Cliffs Natural Resources. (10)________It could have been better for Cleveland, though. The company used to be known as Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. but renamed itself in 2008, saying, "We're no longer only a North American iron ore player.”LeBron-Cliffs, anyone？
Chrysler returns. The automaker fell off the list 13 years ago, when it was acquired by Daimler-Benz (later DaimlerChrysler) in what proved to be one of the worst corporate deals ever, right up there with Time Warner (owner of Fortune's publisher) selling itself to AOL in 2001. Daimler dumped Chrysler onto the Cerberus leveraged-buyout firm, which put up almost nothing but still overpaid. (11) ________ It has no publicly traded stock. Under the terms of its federal bailout, however, it has to file financial reports with the SEC, so it's list-eligible again. Welcome back, No. 59.
Exit Unisys. Enter Cognizant. These two information technology firms are heading in opposite directions. (12) _______ But the company's revenue dropped in 2010, and this year it's fallen off the list, to No. 520. Meanwhile, Cognizant, on Fortune' s list of fastest-growing companies for a record eight straight years, has grown its way into the 500(No. 484) only three years after first making the Fortune 1,000. (13) ________ Unisys, by contrast, was formed in 1986 by combining old-line computer companies Burroughs and Sperry.
Finally, Buffett. His Berkshire Hathaway cracked the top 10 in revenue and profit for the first time because last year it bought the 78 percent of Burlington Northern that it didn't already own. (Buffett, a longtime director of The Washington Post Co.,steps down this month.)As part of that deal, Buffett split Berkshire Hathaway' s B shares 50 for 1.
(14) _________ So I decided it was time to sell half my Berkshire stake, held in an IRA, into the run-up. The stock's since risen 10 percent. Oh, well. Yet another example of why he's Warren Buffett and I write for a living.
Now match the statements (8-14) to the letter (A, B, C or D).
A Unisys was one of only 62 companies to have been in the 500 every year since Fortune started the list in 1955.
B Cliffs, which is heavy into iron ore pellets, coal and other industrial raw materials, doubled its revenue with the aid of acquisitions and leapt to No. 477 on this year's list from No. 750 last year.
C Cognizant, formed in 1994, is a creature of the offshoring world, with most of its development centers in India.
D I found some of this year's corporate comings and goings especially interesting.
E That got it listed on the S&P 500 index, forcing index investors to buy it and running up its price.
F Chrysler went broke and is now run by Fiat; it is owned primarily by Fiat and a trust for Chrysler workers and retirees.
G But if you leaf through the list at random, the way I used to leaf through the Book of Knowledge encyclopedia when I was a kid, you come across all sorts of stuff that's kind of fun.

This materialistic outlook has seriously influenced education. Fewer and fewer young people these days acquire knowledge only for its own sake. Every course of studies must lead somewhere: i.e. to a bigger wage pocket. The demand for skilled personnel far exceeds the supply and big companies compete with each other to recruit students before they have completed their studies. Tempting salaries and “fringe benefits” are offered to them. Recruiting tactics of this kind of have led to the “brain drain”, the process by which highly skilled people offer their services to the higher bidder. The wealthier nations deprive their poorer neighbors of their most able citizens. While Mammon is worshipped as never before, the rich get richer and the poor, poorer.

"Homemakers go out of their way to save pennies at the store and then don't realize that waste of edible (可食用的) foods adds up much more at home," said Dr. Rathji. He was one of about 100 food experts who met in Boise for a conference on food waste and ways to prevent it.
American families throw out between 8% and 20% of edible food at a cost of $4.5 billion per year. That's almost as much as the federal government spends every year for food stamps and child nutrition programs.
He found that food items which are costly and in short supply tend to be wasted more. During the 1973 meat shortage, meat waste increased to 9%, compared with 3% in 1974 and 1975. Sugar and sugar products waste jumped to 19% in 1975, when sugar prices doubled from the previous year.
Dr. Rathji theorizes that high prices force consumers to experiment, sometimes buy in large quantities. In the case of meat, sometimes low-priced cuts for unappetizing varieties are purchased, consumers then tend to waste more.
His theory is that the more variety in food bought, the more wasted. Regular bread is wasted at about a 10% rate, but specialty breads and rolls are wasted at a 20% rate.
If people are eating the same thing every day, they learn how to manage it. But if you're trying to pull something out of the cookbook every night, that's bound to be some waste.
Another finding is that lower income families waste less food than middle and upper income families. And the study found that dog food, which accounts for 8% of a shopping cart, is rarely wasted. Fresh produce and frozen items are more likely to be wasted.
The study also showed people with the most knowledge of safe, edible food waste the least. Much food is tossed out because a homemaker suspects it is spoiled when it is not.
1、Large quantities of food are thrown out because a homemaker____.
A、thinks they are not delicious
B、 says they taste bitter and hot
C、thinks they smell bad
D、 suspects they are spoiled when they are not
2、American families throw out between____of edible food every year.
A、5%～8%
B、 8%～10%
C、 20%～28%
D、8%～20%
3、When sugar prices doubled, waste of sugar____.
A、went down
B、went up
C、stayed the same
D、was cut in half
4、Which of the following statements is true？____
A、American housewives are not good homemakers.
B、Upper-income families are more wasteful than lower-income ones.
C、American families throw away almost as much food as they consume.
D、Americans waste a great deal of dog food.
5、When do American families waste more food？____
A、When prices are high.
B、When food is scarce.
C、When they think it is spoiled.
D、All of the above.
