He was raised in Missouri where he worked in his fathers store while attending school. This was his first retailing (零售业) experience and he really enjoyed it. After graduation, he began his own career as a retail merchant. He soon opened his first Wal-Mart store in 1962 in Rogers, Arkansas. Wal-Mart specialized in name brands at low prices and Sam Walton was surprised at the success. Soon a chain of Wal-Mart stores sprang up across rural America.Walton's management style was popular with employees and he founded some of the basic concepts of management that are still in use today.After taking the company public in 1970, Walton introduced his “profit sharing plan”. The profit sharing plan was a plan for Wal-Mart employees to improve their income dependent on the profits of the store. Sam Walton believed that “individuals don't win, teams do”. Employees at Wal-Mart stores were offered stock options (认股权) and store discounts. These benefits are commonplace today, but Walton was among the first to implement (实现) them. Walton believed that a happy employee meant happy customers and more sales. He also believed that by giving employees a part of the company and making their success dependent on the companys success, they would care about the company.By the 1980s, Wal-Mart had sales of over one billion dollars and over three hundred stores across North America. Wal-Marts unique decentralized (分散的) distribution system, also Waltons idea, created the edge needed to further encourage growth in the 1980s during growing complaints that the “superstore” was stopping smaller and traditional stores from developing. By 1991, Wal-Mart was the largest US retailer with 1,700 stores. Walton remained active in managing the company, as president and CEO until 1988 and chairman until his death. He was awarded the Medal of Freedom shortly before his death.56. Sam Walton first made a hit in retailing when _.A. he worked in his fathers store B. he created Walton's management styleC. a chain of Wal-Mart stores sprang up across rural AmericaD. he specialized in name brands at low prices 57. What is the purpose of Waltons carrying out “profit sharing plan”?A. To make sure all the employees had their own shares.B. To encourage the employees to work hard and make joint efforts.C. To select excellent employees for his stores.D. To make more profit for himself.58. Which of the statements is TRUE?A. With Waltons management style, employees treated the stores as their own.B. Walton wasnt one of the merchants who first implemented stock options.C. The smaller and traditional stores were well affected by Waltons stores.D. In his old age, Walton gave all the management to his men.59. What does the underlined word “edge” in the last paragraph mean here?A. Danger.B. Disadvantage. C. Advantage.D. System.B.Self-employed private physicians who charge a fee for each patient visit are the foundation of medical practice in the United States. Most physicians have a contract relationship with one or more hospitals in the community. They send their patients to this hospital, which usually charges patients according to the number of days they stay and the facilities (operating room, tests, medicines that they use). Some hospitals belong to a city, a state or, in the case of veteran's hospitals, a federal government agency. Others are operated by religious orders (教会) or other non-profit groups.Some medical doctors are on salary. Salaried physicians may work as hospital staff members, or residents, who are often still in training. They may teach in medical schools, be hired by corporations to care for their workers or work for the federal governments Public Health Service.Physicians are among the best paid professionals in the United States. In the 1980s, it was not uncommon for medical doctors to earn incomes of more than $ 100,000 a year. Specialists, particularly surgeons, might earn several times that amount. Physicians list many reasons why they deserve to be so well rewarded for their work. One reason is the long and expensive preparation required to become a physician in the United States. Most would-be physicians first attend college for four years, which can cost nearly $ 20,000 a year at one of the best private institutions. Prospective physicians then attend medical school for four years. Tuition alone can exceed $ 10,000 a year. By the time they have obtained their medical degrees, many young physicians are deeply in debt. They still face three to five years of residency (实习阶段) in a hospital, the first year as an apprentice physician. The hours are long and the pay is relatively low.Setting up a medical practice is expensive, too. Sometimes several physicians will decide to establish a group practice, so they can share the expense of maintaining an office and buying equipment. These physicians also take care of each others patients in emergencies.Physicians work long hours and must accept a great deal of responsibility. Many medical procedures, even quite routine ones, involve risk. It is understandable that physicians want to be well rewarded for making decisions which can mean the difference between life and death.60. According to the passage, it is very unlikely that an American hospital is owned by _. A. a church B. a city C. a corporationD. a state61. According to the passage, how long does it take for a would-be physician to become an independent physician in the USA?A. About twelve years.B. Eight years. C. Ten years. D. About seven year.62. Sometimes several physicians set up a group medical practice mainly because _.A. there are so many patients that it is difficult for one physician to take care all of themB. they can take turns to work long hoursC. no one wants to assume too much responsibilityD. facilitie
