9、 they met and it is wonderful story, just like the old tales but not scary like them.

Just ask backers of one-time highfliers. Like boo. corn, the urban sportswear r

15、etailer that tanked last year, and dressmart, corn, the struggling mens wear specialist. Those once stellar online brands expanded too fast, spent much more than they earned, and then lost their investor support after Internet stocks began plummeting last April. The markets sent online fashion store

16、s a tough message: come up with business models that generate revenues. A few firms have shown that not all online fashion shops are Internet disasters. Copenhagen- based haburi, corn, the online designer-label discount store, Swedens sportswear vendor Sportus and the Italian shirts store Marco Brac

17、ci are doing well in a very tough environment. Haburis distinctive business model is an Internet version of the factory outlet where brand manufacturers sell directly to consumers at lower prices from huge out-of-town shopping malls. A concept used in the U. S. far more than in Europe, and Haburi wa

18、nts to fill the gap. Michael Vad, Haburis CEO, says that Europes apparel factory outlet sector could yield $10 billion in sales annually. According to Vad, national regulations that limit malls outside centers have hampered the development of this sector. For the consumer, there is the two-hour driv

19、e to the mall, and when you get there, you dont know whether you will get the size or color you want, says Vad. By going online, Haburi aims to cut the retailers costs, save consumers the long drive, and deliver orders within two or five days. Haburi splits net revenue 50-50 with the brand manufactu

20、rers. Apparel is difficult to sell online because people like to feel and touch the clothes they buy. For the online retailer, acquiring the items, inspecting them, cleaning and storing them can be expensive. The cost of customer service in the apparel business is much higher than selling books or e

21、ven furniture, says Matthew Nordan, a retail analyst at Forester Researchs Amsterdam office. Unless linked to a major established operation, an online retailer needs a competitive edge. For example, Italian shirt-maker Marco Bracci sells expensive goods for high profits and has cornered a niche mark

22、et. Dressmart, on the other hand, tired to do too much too soon. Originally it planned to sell only shirts and to make the original Swedish operation profitable before branching out. But within months it tried to go pan-European and sell everything including ties, shoes and sportswear, and to rent p

23、hysical outlet at airports. Dressmart, on the verge of bankruptcy and searching for a backer, has now scaled back and operate only in Sweden.The word tanked ( Line 2, ParA1 ) means _.A. boomedB. coveredC. protectedD. shrank6.In a family where the roles of men and women are not sharply separated and

24、where many household tasks are shared to a greater or lesser extent, notions of male superiority are hard to maintain. The pattern of sharing in tasks and in decisions makes for equality, and this in turn leads to further sharing. In such a home, the growing boy and girl learn to accept that equalit

25、y more easily than their parents did and to prepare more fully for participation in a world characterized by cooperation rather than the battle of the sexes. If the process goes too far and mans role is regarded as less importantand that has happened in some caseswe are as badly off as before, only

26、in reverse. It is time to reassess the role of the man in the American family. We are getting a little tired of Momismbut we dont want to exchange it for a neo-Popism. What we need is rather the recognition that bringing up children involves a partnership of equals. There are signs that psychiatrist

27、s, psychologists, social workers, and specialists on the family are becoming more aware of the part men play and that they have decided that women should not receive all the creditnor all the blame. What we have almost given up is that a womans place is in the home. We are beginning, however, to ana

28、lyze mans place in the home and to insist that he does have a place in it. Nor is that place irrelevant to the healthy development of the child. The family is a cooperative enterprise for which it is difficult to lay down rules, because each family needs to work out its own ways for solving its own

29、problems. Excessive authoritarianism has unhappy consequences, whether it wears skirts or trousers, and the ideal of equal right and equal responsibilities is pertinent not only to a healthy democracy, but also to a healthy family.The danger in the sharing of household tasks by mother and father is

30、that _.Asharing leads to masculine women and effeminate menBthe role of the father may become an inferior oneCthe father becomes physically worn outDthe children will grow up believing that life is a battle of the sexes 7.I am a very lucky girl and my family is the nicest in the world.

Then Daddy tells us all about his travels, but he says the best thing was when he met Mummy and fell in love with her. Now thats a happy ending, he says. Hes a wonderful Daddy and is always nice and

33、funny. When Mummy sighs and says shes getting lots of white hairs he laughs and says, Ill be getting them soon and then well be two little old people nodding off on the terrace together, then he hugs her till she cheers up. And he lets me ride on his back and gallops round the room making horse nois

46、story of mans exploitation of nature than the destruction of the unfortunate great whales. The whales have not only suffered untold cruelty but now face total extermination. Already entire populations have been wiped out, and the only reason why no species has yet been finished off is due to the vas

47、tness and inaccessibility of the oceans; a pocket or two somewhere has always managed to escape. How ironic of biological extinction were to complete the job. The basic rule of extinction is very simple: it occurs when a species mortality is continually greater than its recruitment. There are tough,

48、 some very special additional factors in the case of whales. Man does not actually have to kill the last whales of a species with his own hands, as it were, to cause its disappearance. Biological extinction will quickly follow the end of commercial whaling, should that end be due to a shortage of raw material, i.e. of whales. Whalers have long sought to defend their wretched trade by insisting that whales are automatically protected: as soon as they become rare, and the
