【题目】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.

【题目】How to Save More and Spend Less

There are many simple ways to save more money without feeling the pain. You can even turn it into a challenge or a game to make it more enjoyable.

1

You went shopping and now your pocket is heavy with loose change. Count it, keep what you might need for bus tickets and put the rest in a piggy bank. After two months, empty the piggy bank and deposit(存储) the amount in your saving account.

Give up your expensive habits.

Cut down on the beer and cigarettes. Not only will this keep you healthier, but it’ll let you save up on unwanted expenses. 2 If you don’t stop now, you’ll end up paying a lot more for them anyway.

Visit ATMs less often.

Reducing the times you use the ATM can help you cut down on your costs. 3 By doing so you won’t have to make unnecessary withdrawals(取款).

Use cash.

Every time you use your credit card or cellphone to pay for something, you’re losing track of exactly how much you’ re spending. If you’re buying something, buy it with cash. This will give you a clearer idea of how much you’re actually spending. 4

Carry your own bag when shopping.

With the government taking measures to reduce plastic usage, most shops have moved onto paper and cloth bags. 5 Instead of paying for these, carry your own bag.

A. Save your change.

B. Instead of turning to those machines, manage your finance well.

C. However, these are more expensive when compared to plastic ones.

D. Seeing more money leaving your hands, you’ ll be more aware of spending.

E. Even the government is increasing the tax on these to reduce the use of them.
