21、 When I first landed at Ferihegy Airport in Budapest, I had no idea what was awaiting me. I was tired when our driver picked us up, but the view of graffiti written in German,Russian, and Hungarian just blew me away. As we got closer to the city, I felt like I was in a place that was magically changed through time and none in the city had noticed.
I felt as if it was a forgotten place, but it really shouldn't be. I found the air of Budapest to be welcoming and nearly everyone was friendly. Most younger people there speak English, but the non-English speakers were helpful in trying to explain to me that I had given them the wrong amount of forints in paying for an item. If you're interested in shopping, there is the Mammut which is a nice sized mall on the Buda side of the Danube. The locals explained to us that we should not shop at the mall because it is expensive.
When I checked out at an awesome store called Jazz,I found the opposite.I got a formal gown for$14!!! Looking back,I'd like to go to the places where the locals shopped. I stayed at the Mohácsi Panzió. It was $50 a night and the breakfast was wonderful. Our room overlooked a garden and was on the second story of the house, where you could see the hills in the distance. Heroes Square is a wonderful site where people just walk by like it's nothing.The pavement there is very flat which is great for rollerblading.
When I was there we played "futbol" with a plastic piece of tubing we found near the trash.Margit Island is a very strange site for me to come upon in one of the oldest cities in Europe. It is a huge park just inside the city. A lot of activities can be found on that island, from playing futbol to riding around on really strange-looking bikes. If you ever decide to take a trip to Budapest, you may never want to come back.

22、Almost every family buys as least one copy of a newspaper every day. Some people subscribe to as many as two or three different newspapers. But why do people read newspapers?
Five hundred years ago, news of important happenings--battles lost and won, kings or rulers overthrown(推翻)or killed--took months and even years to travel from one country to another. The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate. Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in faraway countries on the same day they happen.
Apart from supplying news from all over the world, newspapers give us a lot of other useful information. There are weather reports, radio, television and film guides, book reviews, stories, and of course, advertisements. The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring attention to their products. They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for the advertising space, but it is worth the money for news of their products goes into almost every home in the country.

23、Mr. Selfridge, the Wisconsin-born retailer (零售商) who left school at 14, rose to become a partner in Marshall Field's, Chicago. Founded in 1852, it was one of the first and most ambitious US department stores. Mr. Selfridge had done well with Marshall Field's. He liked to say, “The customer is always right,” which made the Chicago store popular. And he is believed to have invented the phrase “Only so many Shopping Days until Christmas”.
When he visited London on holiday in 1906 he was surprised to find most of the city's department stores were no match for their American and Parisian competitors. This led Selfridge to leave the US and establish Selfridges. a department store named after him at the west end of London's Oxford Street. In Oxford Street, Selfridge's design team shaped an ambitious classical place building with a wall of plate glass windows.
Opened in 1909, Selfridges offered customers a hundred departments along with restaurants, a roof garden, reading and writing rooms, reception areas for foreign visitors, a first-aid room and most importantly, a small army of knowledgeable floor-walking assistants who served as guides as well as being thoroughly instructed in the art of making a sale.
Mr. Selfridge did much to make the department store a destination rather than just a big and comprehensively stocked city shop. It became a place to meet and for ladies to lunch. Mr. Selfridge later introduced the department store as a key element of the 20th Century culture, and Chaplin acknowledged the growing trend for shopping in the department store in his film The Floorwalker.
【1】What can be learned about Mr. Selfridge from Paragraph 1?
A. He was well-educated.
B. He was a gifted businessman.

A. The industrial atmosphere in London.
B. His desire to own a department store.
C. His confidence in business success.
D. Affection for London architecture.
【3】What was Selfridges' most impressive characteristic?
A. The number of departments.
B. The broad choice of goods.
C. The small group of guards.
D. The well-trained sales guides.
【4】What is the main purpose of the article?
A. To introduce the retailer, Selfridge.
B. To compare different department stores.
