题目内容

Do you like somewhere a little bit different to the usual types of places you find on the high street? I do，so I’m glad to see new ones popping up(冒出)everywhere in London.

The so called pop-up shop is a temporary arrangement．In the aftermath(余波)of the financial crisis of 2008，many businesses had to shut down．Shops，warehouses and offices were left vacant when they stopped trading．Pop-up enterprisers occupied some of them quickly. For them the appeal of this temporary shopping concept is clear：they can start a business with much 1ower risk．The temporary nature of a pop-up shop gives the opportunity to test a product and develop a customer base，without being tied in to a long-term renting contract. Being small makes it much easier for pop-ups to expand if they are successful·

Pop-up shops first appeared in the UK in the early 2000s，with the economy booming. They were originally a way for small companies to rent retail space(零售场所)in great locations. This was while landlords who owned these spaces looked for permanent renters.

Pop-up shops can take a number of different forms．They might be temporary shops in the high street or a shopping centre．They might be simple market stalls(摊位). They could be based in some kind of transport，like a food truck．Or they could be run by people who visit different establishments，like travelling chefs who take over pub and restaurant kitchens temporarily．

According to a report by the Centre of Economic and Business Research，the pop-up industry was worth￡2.1bn and is expected to grow by 8.4％this year．Almost anything that can be on a high street can also be a pop-up．There have been pop-up shops，art galleries，theatres and restaurants among others．In an age of fast-changing habits，the pop-up idea might be here to stay．

1.What nature of the pop-up shops appeals many small companies?

A．Long-terra benefits． B．Lower prices.

C．Quick service． D．Temporary shopping concept．

2.Pop-up shops first appeared mainly because__________.

A．the economy hadn’t recovered

D．enterprisers failed in their business

3.Which groups are the main people involved in setting up pop-up shops?

①enterprisers ②landlords ③travelling chefs ④truck drivers

A．①③ B．②④ C．①② D．③④

A．Pop-ups might be booming．

You probably know you should say “please” and “thank you” at restaurants. You probably know the rules of a library. You know you should respect and be nice to your classmates. 1. In fact, there are some rules about playing music.

·Keep it down.

2. You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry.

· 5.

There are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some people can listen to music on their MP3 players when reading books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you.

A. It’s your choice.
