Ⅱ.阅读理解The old-fashioned general store is fast disappearing.This is，perhaps，a pity，because shopping today seems to lack those personal elements which existed when the shopkeeper knew all his regular customers personally.He could，for instance，remember which brand of tea Mrs.Smith usually bought or what sort of washing powder Mrs.Jones preferred.Not only was the shop a center of buying and selling，but a social meeting place.
A prosperous(繁荣的) general store might have employed four or five assistants，and so there were very few problems in management as far as the staff(全体职员) was concerned.But now that the supermarket has replaced the general store，the job of the manager has changed completely.The modern supermarket manager has to cope with a staff of as many as a hundred，apart from all the other everyday problems of running a large business.
Every morning the manager must，like the commander of an army division，carry out an inspection of his supermarket to make sure that everything is ready for the business of the day.He must see that everything is running smoothly.He will have to give advice and make decisions as problems arise，and he must know how to get his huge staff to work efficiently with their respective responsibilities.No matter what he has to do throughout the day，the supermarket manager must be ready for any emergency that may arise.They say in the trade that you are not really an experienced supermarket manager until you have dealt with a flood，a fire，a birth and a death in your store.
16．The main purpose of the passage is to show________.
A．how the supermarket has replaced the old general store
B．how the old-fashioned general store is fast disappearing
C．how supermarket managers deal with problems every morning
D．how the role of the shop manager has undergone an overall change
17．It is a pity that there are fewer old general stores now，because________.
A．there is less trading business
B．there used to be more social activities in the old day
C．supermarket managers have more problems
D．there is less personal contact between managers and customers
18．Who are Mrs.Smith and Mrs.Jones mentioned in the first paragraph?
A．People representing any of the customers of the old general store.
B．Shop assistants.
C．Friends of the shop manager’s.
D．Two regular customers of the store.
19．How has the job of the store manager changed?
A．He doesn’t sell tea or washing powder any more.
B．He has a much larger staff and a much larger business to take care of.
C．He must try hard to remember the names of the regular customers.
D．He has to give advice and make decisions when problems arise.
20．The author compared the supermarket manager to________.
A．a military leaderB．a school inspector
C．a traffic supervisorD．an orchestra conductor

参考范文I finished my homework on time,which I think was the most important.Other than that,I did a lot of interesting things.As you know,the 2010 FIFA World Cup was held in South Africa.I watched almost all the football matches with my friends and classmates.How about you?I also took training courses,including maths,physics and chemistry.I once worked for two weeks in a small restaurant near my home,where I washed dishes and vegetables.It was really a tiring job,but I think it was worthwhile since I could earn some money.I think my voluntary work in the nursing home was the most meaningful.I did some cleaning and read newspapers for the elderly there.
