24、 diets as the Atkins, Paleo and Keto, which ad-vised swapping foods like bread, pasta and potatoes for vegetables,fish and meat. More recently the trend ofswapping spaghetti for vegetables has been 28 by clean-eating experts.But now a 29 review and analysis of 30 studies by Canadian researchers foun

Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.The Best Retailers Combine Bricks and ClicksA Retail profits are falling sharply. Stores are closing.

30、 Malls are emptying. The depressing stories justkeep coming. Reading the earnings announcements of large retail stores likeTarget is about as uplifting as a tour of an intensive care unit. The Internet is apparently taking downyet another industry. (實體店) seem to be going the way of the yellow pages.

31、s, Nordstrom, andBrick and mortar storesSure enough, the Census Bureau just released data showing that online retail sales surged 15. 2 percentbetween the first quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016.B But before you dump all of your retail stocks, there are more facts you should consider. Lo

32、oking onlyat that 15. 2 percent “surge” would be misleading. It was an increase that was on a small base of 6. 9percent. Even when a tiny number grows by a large percentage terms, it is often still tiny.C More than 20 years after the Internet was opened to commerce, the Census Bureau tells us that b

33、rickand mortar sales accounted for 92. 3 percent of retail sales in the first quarter of 2016. Their data showthat only 0. 8 percent of retail sales shifted from offline to online between the beginning of 2015and 2016.D So, despite all the talk about(無人機) deliveries to your doorstep, all the retail

34、executives ex-dronepressing anxiety over consumers going online, and even a Presidential candidate exclaiming that Ama-zon has a “huge antitrust problem,” the Census data suggest that physical retail is thriving. Ofcourse, the closed stores, depressed executives, and sinking stocks suggest otherwise

35、.story?s the realE Many firms operating brick and mortar stores are in trouble. The retail industry is getting “reinvent-ed,” as we describe in our new book s standing in the path of what Schumpeter called(大風) of creative destruction. That storm has been brewing for some time, and as it hasMatchmake

36、rs.agalereached gale force, most large retailers are searching for a response. As the CFO of61s put it re-cently,re frankly scratching our heads. ”F But s not happening as experts predicted. In the peak of the dot. com bubble, brick and mortar retailwas one of those industries the Internet was going

37、 to killand quickly. The dot. com bust discreditedmost predictions of that sort and in the years that followed, conventionalconfidence in the fu-ture increased as Census continued to report weak online sales. And then the gale hit.G It is becoming increasingly clear that retail reinventiont a simple

38、 battle to the death between bricksand clicks. It is about devising retail models that work for people who are making increasing use of agrowing array of Internet-connected tools to change how they search, shop, and buy. Creative retailersare using the new technologies to innovate just about everyth

39、ing stores do from managing inventory, tomarketing, to getting paid.H More than drones dropping a new supply of underwear on your doorstep,s massively successfulbrick-and-mortar-and-glass retail stores and s small steps in the same direction are whatshould keep old-fashioned retailers awake at night

40、. Not to mention the large number of creative newretailers, like Bonobos, that are blending online and offline experiences in creative ways.I Retail reinvention is not a simple process, and s also not happening on what used to be called “Inter-net Time. ” Some Internet-driven changes have happened q

41、uickly, of course. Craigslist quickly over-took newspaper classified ads and turned newspaper economics upside down. But many widely anticipa-ted changest quick, and somet really started. With the benefit of(后見之hindsightit looks like the Internet will transform the economy at something like the pace

B2B commerce, for example,t move mainly online by 2005 as many hadt do so over the next few decades.predicted in 2000, nor even by 2016, but that t mean itJ But the gale is still blowing. The sudden decline in foot traffic in recent years, even though

43、 itbeen accompanied by a massive decline in physical sales, is a critical warning. People can shop moreefficiently online and therefore t need to go to as many stores to find what they want. s a sur-tplus of physical shopping space for the crowds, which is one reason why stores are downsizing and cl

44、os-ing.K The rise of the mobile phone has recently added a new level of complexity to the process of retail rein-vention. Even five years ago most people faced a choice. Sit at your computer, probably at home or atthe office, search and browse, and buy, or head out to the mall, or Main Street, look

45、and shop, andbuy. Now, just about everyone has a smartphone, connected to the Internet almost everywhere almostall the time. Even when a retailer gets a customer to walk in the store, she can easily see ifbetter deal online or at another store nearby.s aL So far, the main thing many large retailers

46、have done in response to all this is to open online stores, sopeople will come to them directly rather than to Amazon and its smaller online rivals. Many are havingthe same problem that newspapers have had. Even if they get online traffic, they struggle to makeenough money online to compensate for w

47、hat they are losing offline.M A few seem to be making this work. Among large traditional retailers, Walmart recently reported thebest results, leading its stock price to surge, whiles, Target, ands dropped. Yet(哀嘆),s year-over-year online sales only grew 7 percent, leading its CEO tolament“Growth he

48、re is too slow. ” Part of the problem is that almost two decades after Amazon filed the one-click patent, the online retail shopping and buying experience is filled with frictions. A recent study62graded more than 600 Internet retailers on how easy it was for consumers to shop, buy, and pay. Al-most

49、 half of the sites t get a passing grade and only 18 percent got an A or B.N The turmoil on the ground in physical retail is hard to square with the Census data. Unfortunately, partof the explanation is that the Census retail data are unreliable. Our deep look into those data and theirpreparation re

50、vealed serious problems. It seems likely that Censussimplymisclassifiesa large chunkofonline sales. It is certainthat the Censusprocedures,whichlump the online sales of majortraditionalre-tailerslike Walmartwith“non-storeretailers”like foodtrucks,canmaskmajorchangesin individualretailcategories. The

51、 bureaucould easily presenttheir data in more usefulways,but they have chosennot to.O Despite the turmoil, brick and mortart disappear any time soon. The big questions are which, ifany, of the large traditional retailers will still be on the scene in a decade or two because they havesuccessfully rei

52、nvented themselves, which new players will operate busy stores on Main Streets andmaybe even in shopping malls, and how the shopping and buying experience will have changed in eachretail category. Investorst write off brick and mortar. Whether they should bet on the tradi-tional players who run thos

53、e stores now is another matter.36. Although online retailing has existed for some twenty years, nearly half of the Internet retailers still failto receive satisfactory feedback from consumers, according to a recent survey.37. Innovative retailers integrate Internet technologies with conventional ret

54、ailing to create new retail mod-els.38. Despite what the Census data suggest, the value of physical39. Innovative-driven changes in the retail industry t take place as quickly as widely anticipated.40. Statistics indicate that brick and mortar sales still made up the s share of the retail business.s

55、 stocks has been dropping.41. Companies that successfully combine online and offline business models may prove to be a big concernfor traditional retailers.42. Brick and mortarfaith in their business was strengthened when the dot. com bubble burst.43. Despite the tremendous challenges from online re

56、tailing, traditional retailing will be here to stay forquite some time.44. With the rise of online commerce, physical retail stores are likely to suffer the same fate as the yellowpages.45. The wide use of smartphones has made it more complex for traditional retailers to reinvent their busi-ness. CD

59、d to researching the future of intelligence as “crucial to the future of our civilization and63our species”.Hawking was speaking at the opening of the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence (LCFI)at Cambridge University, a multi-disciplinary institute that will attempt to tackle some of th
