Questions 1~5 are based on the following passage: (10 分) How did a peddler of cheap shirts and fishing rods become the mightiest corporation in America? The short version of Wal -Mart’s rise to glory goes something like this:in 1979 it racked up billion dollars in sales;by 1993 it did that much business in a week ;by 2001 it could do it in a day . It’s a shocking tale — one that propelled Wal -Mart from rural Arkansas,where it was founded in 1962,to the top of the Fortune 500.Sam Walton ,Wal-Mart’s founder,pushed sales growth continuously while squeezing cost s with sophisticated information technology .He exhorted employees to sell better with the “ten -foot rule” (greet customers if they are that close ).He was ,in other words,an early evangelist for the first commandment of today’s economy :service rules .Wal-Mart ,in fact ,is the first service company to rise to the top of the Fortune 500.When Fortune first published its list of the largest companies in America in 1995,Wal-Mart didn’t even exist .That year General Motors was America’s biggest company,and in every year that followed,either GM or another mighty industrial ,Exxon,was No.1. Wal-Mart’s achievement caps a bigger economic shift — from producing goods to providing services.Manufacturing’s share of U.S.employment peaked in 1953,at 35% .It has been declining steadily since .In the decade that will end in 2010,the Bureau of Labor Statistics figures that goods-producing industries will create 1.3 million new jobs,compared to 20 million for service industries .To look at it another way,today there are about four times a s many people working in service jobs as in other kinds of jobs .And even within manufacturing,services are an increasingly large share of operations . As America got richer,consumption got more complicated .With more income to throw around ,people started spending more on services — movies and travel,mortgages to buy houses ,insurance to protect those houses ,the occasional weekend s at a luxury hotel .Fortune calls this a shift in the demand pattern .Over the next few years,only three of the ten fastest-growing oc cupations (software engineers ,nurses ,and computer support )pay middle-class salaries.The rest could be called Wal-Mart kinds of jobs — cashiers,retail assistants,food service ,and so on .In short ,the service economy is delivering more good jobs than ever before.In 1993, W al-Mart could have a sales volume of two billion dollars in ______.A.one week B.two weeks C.one dayD.two days
