Passage 3 The message in London’s singles flat market is clear if you can find anything you like then buy now, Dixie Nichols writes. London is seeing “a vibrant and wealthy singles flat market” according to David Salvi of the Clerkenwell agents Hurford, Salvi and Carr. The middle market flat agents Douglas & Gordon and Chestertons both say prices in the sector are up 20 per cent on a year ago, both say this sector has improved by 20 per cent in the past 12 months, and both have a backlog of buyers. Melissa Carter, of Douglas & Gordon’s Battersea office, says: “What was a good offer two months ago looks about right now the deals are holding and valuers (who had been acting as a brake) are now prepared to follow.” Buyers in the singles market come wielding big deposits (up to a third of the price is not unusual), and frequently leapfrog the studio and one-bed flats starting in at two beds. Often the second bed is let to a friend to take the sting out of the mortgage. Although agents complain of there not being enough stock, there is a steady influx from the commercial block conversions. The new wave of developments is hitting the market now. The market is hungry and snaps up anything well priced. The Ziggurat Building in Clerkenwell, north London, sold all 34 units in its first phase within an hour of opening its doors, but the price was exceptional—￡140 a sq ft when most schemes hover at 2200 to 2250. The developers’ headline price may not have shot up in the past year but the amount of space you get for your money has been shaved. When Sapcote’s Beauchamp Building in Hatton Garden, central London was introduced last September, the shell sizes of 1, 200 to 1, 400 sq ft were said to be far too small. When launched in January the market was impressed by their size. London fiat agents have no problem in forecasting a 10 per cent rise over the next 12 months despite election wobbles.It may be better than that. . Simon Agace of Winkworth says: “The top of the flat market has already followed the house market’s summer spring and the middle range will follow.” 1. What is implied in the message “If you can find anything you like then buy now”? 2. Why do buyers often choose the two-bed flats? 3. What does the example of “Sapcote’s Beauchamp Building in Hatton Gardon, central London” tell us?

Im Michael Bush, Managing Director of Hoogle Engineering. I am pleased to welcome you here to our website and Id like to tell you a little about the company and its organization. Hoogle Engineering was set up in 1960. It was divided into several departments at that time, such as the sales department, marketing department, and production department. Lots of managers were employed to manage it all.Fortunately things are different now. Sixty people are employed by Hoogle and communication between departments is considered to be one of the most important aspects of the business. The market is global so we need to make contact with customers worldwide, not just locally.But in the old days we were all in different departments and never spoke to each other. We had a tall structure. Traditionally we had people at the first level on the shop floor, manufacturing products according to the instructions which they were given. Then you had a supervisory level of people who supervised them every day. Then you moved up to the middle management, who were doing the tasks of getting new business, and then you had the senior management team, and then you had the board, who decided the business strategy. So there were a lot of levels in the company in the old days actually.The structure today is that we form. teams within teams to place people who can manufacture a product. Each team has members that can manufacture different products. The actual teams now are self-managing, so we dont even have team leaders. Youve got the teams, and then youve got two people, only two people, who are what you think of as management. This is generally called flat structure.21. Hoogle Engineering was set up in().A. the nineteenth centuryB. the twentieth centuryC. the twenty first century22. There are many different()of management in a tall structure.A. kindsB. levelsC. functions23. People in a flat structure usually work in().A. departmentsB. familiesC. teams24. All of the following statements are true according to the passage EXCEPT that().A. communication in the company is becoming more and more importantB. the author thinks the two structures have the same functionsC. there are more individual responsibilities in the flat structure25. The best title for the passage is().A. Organization Structure in Hoogle EngineeringB. History of Hoogle EngineeringC. Success in Hoogle engineering

Text 4 Shortly after The Economist went to press,about 25,000 people were expected to rurn up at the London Art Fair.Your correspondent visited just before,as 128 white booths were being filled with modern paintings and sculptures.Dealers clutched mobile phones to their ears or gathered in small groups.They seemed nervous-as well they might be."I can eam a year's living in one fair,"said one harried dealer while stringing up a set oflights.Before 1999 London had just one regular contemporary art fair,remembers Will Ramsay,boss of the expanding Affordable Art Fair.This year around 20 will be held in Britain,mostly in the capitaL Roughly 90 will take place worldwide:The success of larger events such as Frieze,which started in London,has stimulated the growth of smaller fairs specialising in craft work,ceramics and other things.Art14,which started last year,specialises in less well-known intemational galleries,showing art from Sub-Saharan Africa,South Korea and Hong Kong.One explanation for the boom is the overall growth of the modern-art market.Four fifihs of all art sold at auction worldwide last year was from the 20th or 21st century,according to Artprice,a database.In November an auction in New York of modern and contemporary art made$691m（￡422m）,easily breaking the previous record.As older art becomes harder to buy-much ofit is locked up in museums-demand for recent works is rising.London's art market in particular has been boosted by an influx of rich immigrants from Russia,China and the Middle East."When I started 23 years ago I had not a single non-Western foreign buyer,"says Kenny Schachter,an art dealer."It's a different world now."And London's new rich buy arl differently.They ofien spend little time in the capital and do not know it well.Traipsing around individual galleries is inconvenient,particularly as galleries have moved out of central London.The mall-like set-up of a fair is much more suitable.Commercial galleries used to rely on regular visits from rich Britons seeking to fumish their stately homes.Many were family friends.The new art buyers have no such loyalty.People now visit galleries mainly to go to events and to be seen,says Alan Cristea,a gallery owner on Cork street in Mayfair.Fairs,and the parties that spring up around them,are much better places to be spotted.Some galleries are feeling squeezed.Bemard Jacobson runs a gallery opposite Mr Cristea.The changing art market reminds him ofwhen his father,a chemist,was eclipsed by Boots,a pharmaceutical chain,in the 1960s.Seven galleries in Cork Street relocated this month to make way for a redevelopment;five more may follow later this year.Yet the rise ofthe fairs means galleries no longer require prime real estate,thinks Sarah Monk of the London Art Fair.With an intemational clientele,many can work online or from home.Although some art fairs still require their exhibitors to have a gallery space,increasingly these are small places outside central London or beyond the city altogether.One gallery owner says few rich customers ever visit his shop in south London.He makes all his contacts at the booths he sets up at fairs,which might be twice the sizc of his store."It's a little like fishing:'he explains."You move to where the pike is."
Which of the following is not true about art market according to Paragraphs 4 and 5?A.London's art market boosted favorite mainly from overseas.
B.London's new rich often spend multiple times in the capital and do not know it.
C.commercial galleries used to depend on regular from wealthy people.
D.people in recent years visit galleries for events and parties.

资料：The market is a concept. If you are growing tomatoes in your backyard for sale you are producing for the market. You might sell some to your neighbor and some to the local manager of the supermarket. But in either case, you are producing for the market. Your efforts are being directed by the market. If people stop buying tomatoes, you will stop producing them.
If you take care of a sick person to earn money, you are producing for the market. If your father is a steel worker or a truck driver or a doctor or a grocer, he is producing goods or service for the market.
When you spend your income, you are buying things from the market. You may spend money in stores, supermarkets, gas stations and restaurants. Still you are buying from the market. When the local grocer hires you to drive the delivery truck, he is buying your labor in the labor market.
The market may be something abstract. But for each person or business that is making and selling something, it is very concrete. If nobody buys your tomatoes, it won’t be long before you get the message. The market is telling you something. It is telling you that you are using energies and resources in doing something the market doesn’t want you to do.
All of the following acts are producing for the market EXCEPT____.A.working in a bank
B.printing a book
C.attending a night school
D.growing beans for sale

资料：The daily changes of the market can lead investors astray.The ups and downs make the tendency to look at the portfolio,s performance frequently too temping.This means investers are likely to perceive mere risk,forgetting about their key term goals.
When investors log into their trading accounts they can see the potential gain or loss of all of their assets.They can also see the day change on assets which are coded gain and loss.However,It,s believed that those who look less get more.

According to the passage，investors tend to A.be concerned about immediate gains and loss
B.be attracted by risk rather than long term goals
C.be misled by the daily changes of the market
D.be worried about the ups and downs of the market
