I was quite wrong. I wasn' t too concerned;after all, it was only the first try and there are many more shops on both sides of the road.
The reaction at the second shop, though slightly politer, was just the same, and at the third and the fourth -- so I decided that my approach must be wrong.
I entered the fifth shop with some confidence because I had thought of a plan. The rather fierce shop owner looked it over carefully and said, " Yes, not a bad little chair, how much do you want for it？" "￡ 20, "I said. "It's got a slightly broken leg, "I said. "Yes, I saw that. It' s nothing;don't worry about it. "
"What will you do with it？"I asked. "Oh, it will be very saleable once the repair is done, I like the bit of old green velvet on the top, I shall leave that, yes, very saleable. "" I' Il buy it, "I said. "Yes, I know, but I' ve changed my mind; as a matter of fact, it is just what I' m looking for. I' ve got a pair to it at home; I'll give you ￡ 27 for it. " " You must be crazy, "he said; then suddenly the penny dropped and he smiled and said, "I know what you want, you want me to mend your chair. "
"And what would you have done if I had walked in and asked you to repair it for me？" " I wouldn' t have done it, "he said. "We don' t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much of a nuisance, but I' ll mend this for you. "

Directions: Read the following three texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
Some time ago, I discovered that one of the chairs in my front hall had a broken leg. I didn't foresee any great difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique shops on Pimlico Road which is three minutes' walk from my fiat, so I set forth one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop confidently expecting a friendly reception, with a kindly man saying, "What a charming chair! Yes, that's quite a simple job. When would you want it back？ "
I was quite wrong. I wasn't too concerned; after all, it was only the first try and there are many more shops on both sides of the road.
The reaction at the second shop, though slightly politer, was just the same, and at the third and the fourth—so I decided that my approach must be wrong.
I entered the fifth shop with some confidence because I had thought of a plan. I placed the chair gently on the floor, then the rather fierce shop owner looked it over carefully and said, "Yes, not a bad little chair, how much do you want for it？" "￡20," I said. "It's got a slightly broken leg," I said. "Yes, I saw that. It's nothing; don't worry about it. "
"what will you do with it？" I asked. "Oh, it will be very saleable once the repair is done, I like the bit of old green velvet on the top, I shall leave that, yes, very saleable. " "I'll buy it," I said. "Yes, I know, but I've changed my mind; as a matter of fact, it is just what I'm looking for. I've got a pair to it at home; I'll give you ￡ 27 for it." "You must be crazy," he said; then suddenly the penny dropped and he smiled and said, "I know what you want, you want me to mend your chair."
"And what would you have done if I had walked in and asked you to repair it for me？" "I wouldn't have done it," he said. "We don't do repairs, not enough money in it and too much of a nuisance(麻烦事情), but I'll mend this for you. "
The author was not worded about the broken leg of the chair at first because______.
A．his flat was very near the antique shops
B．he knew it was easy to mend it
C．there were so many antique shops selling chairs
D．he thought it was easy for him to find someone to repair it
After a depressing period at the beginning of the decade when the terrorist attacks in America, the outbreak of SARS and the war in Iraq reduced international travel and people's appetite for frivolous things, the industry has had three excellent years. According to Bain, a consultancy, sales of luxury goods grew by 9% in 2006 to 159 billion ($ 200 billion) and will reach about 170 billion this year, which would double the 1996 figure. Europe remains the biggest market, with about 40% of sales, though the strongest growth is in China, Russia, the Middle East and some Latin American countries.
Can the industry really double again in half the time？ Analysts at Citigroup say that Christmas will be good this year for luxury-goods firms, but they are more cautious about next year because of worries about falling demand in America. It is tempting to think that luxury goods are isolated from the broader economy, because customers are rich enough to ignore it, says Luca Solca, a luxury-goods analyst. But the industry's expansion into a broader "aspirational" market, by selling to the merely affluent, makes it susceptible.
And as luxury firms expand in Asia and the Americas, they will continue to suffer currency woes. Most of the industry's production is in the euro-zone, mainly in France and Italy. Even the optimistic Mr. Arnault complained at his firm's recent annual meeting that the euro had reached "incomprehensible" levels against the dollar and the yen. Luxury companies could shift more of their production to countries with weaker currencies and cheap labor (ie, China), but some customers-especially Asian customers-want the elitism and craftsmanship associated with products manufactured in Europe.
At least sales in emerging markets are growing fast. But Melanie Flouquet, a luxury analyst at JPMorgan, an investment bank, says that this growth is not enough to offset a slowdown in America. Chinese and Russian consumers account for around 7% and 4% of global luxury sales respectively, compared with 16-18% for Americans. Even so, European firms are sticking to their plans in New York, America's fashion capital. Gucci will open its biggest shop in February in Trump Tower, a shiny skyscraper on New York's Fifth Avenue. Ermenegildo Zegna will also open a shop on Fifth Avenue next year. And this week Dolce & Gabbana re-opened its spruced-up shop on Madison Avenue.
Claudia D' Arpizio of Bain thinks luxury makers need to follow Giorgio Armani and segment their customers more carefully with different product lines at different price ranges. She predicts that the industry will see solid growth rates of up to 10% a year in the near term. This means that the industry could double in ten years-by which time China is likely to account for more than a quarter and maybe as much as a third of the world's consumption of luxury goods. Yet Mr. Arnault's rosy prediction seems unlikely to come true. As Americans tighten their purse-strings, over-optimism is a luxury even this industry cannot afford.
According to the text, which of the following is probably NOT the reason for the anticipated impact on the luxury industry？
A．The subprime mortgage and subsequent credit crisis in US.
B．Possible recession of the world economy.
C．Dollar will very probably be weak in the coming months.
D．Luxury goods lack innovation and creativity than before.
