The first Spanish came to the New World searching for wealth, power, and glory. There they explored(探险) and conquered much of North, South, and Central America. The English, on the other hand, generally came to build new land. They built settlements(殖民地) along the coast.
Different from both Spain and England, the French were less interested in conquest(征服) than in trade. Their first settlements were trading posts(贸易区) where they sold cloth, knives, and guns to the Indians for the skin of the beaver(河狸). Like the Spanish, they seldom brought their families. Unlike the English, they didn't fight against the Indians for the possession of the land.
Because there were far fewer French than English in America, they did not threaten the India way of life as the English did.
"The New World" refers to ______.

In Germany in particular the scale of the defeat for the governing Social Democrats was pretty staggering. While the number of people from Poland and Slovakia was a source of deep disappointment for officials in Brussels. Euro-sceptic parties gained ground in Britain, Sweden, the Czech Republic and elsewhere.
But overall, the new parliament will not be too dissimilar from the old. Most MEPs will be pro-European, with the center-right parties forming the biggest group, followed by the socialists.
The parliament meets for the first time next month but attention in the EU is already switching to the debate on the proposed European constitution. EU foreign ministers are meeting in Luxembourg today to discuss new compromise proposals in advance of a European summit in Brussels later this week.

The first European stock exchange was established in Antwerp, Belgium(比利时) , in 1531. There were no stock exchanges in England until the 1700' s. A man wishing to buy or sell shares of stock had to find a broker(agents) to transact his business for him. In London, he usually went to a coffee house, because brokers often gathered there. In 1773, the brokers of London formed a stock exchange.
In New York City, brokers met under an old button-wood tree on Wall Street. They organized the New York Stock Exchange in 1792. The American Stock Exchange, second largest in the United States, was formerly called the Curb Exchange because of its origin on the streets of New York City.
A stock exchange is a market place where member brokers buy and sell stocks and bonds (债券) of American and foreign businesses on behalf of the public. A stock exchange provides a market place for stocks and bonds in the same way a board of trade does for commodities. The stockbrokers receive a small commission on each transaction they make.
The stockholder may sell his stock wherever he wants to unless the corporation has some special rule to prevent it. Prices of stock change according to general business conditions and the earnings and future prospects(前景) of the company. If the business is doing well, the stockholder may be able to sell his stock for a profit. If it is not, he may have to take a loss.
In the 1600's, if a man wanted to buy or sell shares of stock, he had to do it through ______.
A.the government
B.himself
C.a broker
D.the stock exchange

His company has pioneered a method of testing consumer response to color which he claims can predict, with 90% accuracy, sales of a new product for up to 18 months after the launch. The method, "Chromtest" , has been used to test everything from ladies' dresses to sunglasses. Clients include Parsifal Lager, Amir Fashions, Coloroll Wallpaper and Meadowcourt China.
Color, says Mr. Crowe, is critical in ensuring product acceptance. It is not merely a case of choosing an acceptable primary color — shades, tones and texture can all have a bearing on the consumer' s final choice.
" We could take 10 colors, each with six shades and virtually guarantee that two of the shades would be most popular with 80% of the people interviewed, " he said. " Products are associated with lifestyle. most kitchens are now in wood so if you make toasters you don't want a color that is unsuitable. " Mr. Crowe, a former lecturer at the Institute of Marketing, formed Scintilla in 1992 with the help of a $ 5, 000 second mortgage. First year turnover was $ 100, 000. This year with 30 staff it will be ten times that. Chromtest, which was developed with the help of Crowe' s artist wife, Susanne, now accounts for around 70% of turnover and provides most of the profits.
Crowe admits that British companies still have their doubts, though he says a few retailers now insist that products are color screened before they are allowed on their shelves. He contrasts this with European manufacturers who commission over half the company' s works.
European tests do vary dramatically, however, and Crowe argues that, as with branding, color and design for pan-European products carry numerous pitfalls. For example, a recent test of a brown dinner service in Britain, Germany and France shows that while consumers in the first two countries like the product, Parisians will not eat off brown plates.
Scintilla was the first company to
A.sell red and yellow roses.
B.measure customer response to color.
C.give lecturers on marketing.
D.develop a method to predict business turnover.
