the carbohydratecan form part of a healthy diet,and even help people lose weight.For years,nutritionists haverecommended that pasta be kept to a26,to cut calories,prevent fat build-up and stop bloodsugar27up.The low-carbohydrate food movement gave birth to such diets as the Atkins,Paleo and Keto,which advised swapping foods like bread,pasta and potatoes for vegetables,fish and meat.Morerecently the trend of swapping spaghetti for vegetables has been28by clean-eating experts.But now a29review and analysis of 30 studies by Canadian researchers found that notonly does pasta not cause weight gain,but three meals a week can help people drop more than halfa kilogram over four months.The reviewers found that pasta had been unfairly demonized(妖魔化)because it had been30in with other,more ft-promoting carbohydrates.“The study found that pasta didnt31to weight gain or increase in body fat,”said leadauthor Dr John Sievenpiper.“In32the evidence,we can now say with some

are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it.Eachstatement contains information given in one of the paragraphs.Identify the paragraph from whichthe information is derived.You may choose a paragraph more than once.Each paragraph ismarked with a letter.Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letteron AnswerSheet 2.The Best Retailers Combine Bricks and ClicksA Retail profits are falling sharply.Stores are closing.Malls are emptying.The depressingstories just keep coming.Reading the earnings announcements of large retail stores like Macys,Nordstrom,and Target is about as uplifting as a tour of an intensive care unit.The interact isapparently taking down yet another industry.Brick and mortar stores(实体店)seem to be going-4-the way of the yellow pages.Sure enough,the Census Bureau just released data showing thatonline retail sales surged 15.2 percent between the first quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of2016.B But before you dump all of your retail stocks,there are more facts you should consider.Looking only at that 15.2 percent surge would be misleading.It was an increase that was on asmall base of 6.9 percent.Even when a tiny number grows by a large percentage terms,it is oftenstill tiny.C More than 20 years after the internet was opened to commerce,the Census Bureau tellsus that brick and mortar sales accounted for 92.3 percent of retail sales in the first quarter of 2016.Their data show that only 0.8 percent of retail sales shifted from offline to online between thebeginning of 2015 and 2016.D So,despite all the talk about drone(无人机)deliveries to your doorstep,all the retailexecutives expressing anxiety over consumers going online,and even a Presidential candidateexclaiming that Amazon has a huge antitrust problem,the Census data suggest that physicalretail is thriving.Of course,the closed stores,depressed executives,and sinking stocks suggestotherwise.Whats the real story?E Many firms operating brick and mortar stores are in trouble.The retail industry is gettingreinvented,as we describe in our new book Matchmakers.Its standing in the Path of whatSchumpeter called a gale(大风)of creative destruction.That storm has been brewing for sometime,and as it has reached gale force,most large retailers are searching for a response.As the CFOof Macys put it recently,“Were frankly scratching our heads.”F But its not happening as experts predicted.In the peak of the bubble,brick andmortar retail was one of those industries the internet was going to kill-and quickly.The bust discredited most predictions of that sort and in the years that followed,conventional retailersconfidence in the future increased as Census continued to report weak online sales.And then thegale hit.G It is becoming increasingly clear that retail reinvention isnt a simple battle to the deathbetween bricks and clicks.It is about devising retail models that work for people who are makingincreasing use of a growing array of internet-connected tools to change how they search,shop,andbuy.Creative retailers are using the new technologies to innovate just about everything stores dofrom managing inventory,to marketing,to getting paid.H More than drones dropping a new supply of underwear on your doorstep,Applesmassively successful brick-and-mortar-and-glass retail stores and Amazons small steps in thesame direction are what should keep old-fashioned retailers awake at night.Not to mention thelarge number of creative new retailers,like Bonobos,that are blending online and offlineexperiences in creative ways.I Retail reinvention is not a simple process,and its also not happening on what used to becalled Internet Time.Some internet-driven changes have happened quickly,of course.Craigslistquickly overtook newspaper classified ads and turned newspaper economics upside down.Butmany widely anticipated changes werent quick,and some havent really started.With the benefitof hindsight(后见之明),it looks like the interact will transform the economy at something likethe pace of other great inventions like electricity.B2B commerce,for example,didnt movemainly online by 2005 as many had predicted in 2000,nor even by 2016,but that doesnt mean itwont do so over the next few decades.-5-J But the gale is still blowing.The sudden decline in foot traffic in recent years,eventhough it hasnt been accompanied by a massive decline in physical sales,is a critical warning.People can shop more efficiently online and therefore dont need to go to as many stores to findwhat they want.Theres a surplus of physical shopping space for the crowds,which is one reasonwhy stores are downsizing and closing.K The rise of the mobile phone has recently added a new level of complexity to the processof retail reinvention.Even five years ago most people faced a choice.Sit at your computer,probably at home or at the office,search and browse,and buy.Or head out to the mall,or MainStreet,look and shop,and buy.Now,just about everyone has a smartphone,connected to theinternet almost everywhere almost all the time.Even when a retailer gets a customer to walk in thestore,she can easily see if theres a better deal online or at another store nearby.L So far,the main thing many large retailers have done in response to all this is to openonline stores,so people will come to them directly rather than to Amazon and its smaller onlinerivalsMany are having the same problem that newspapers have.Even if they get online traffic,they struggle to make enough money online to compensate for what they are losing offline.M A few seem to be making this workAmong large traditional retailers,Walmart recentlyreported the best results,leading its stock price to surge,while Macys,Target,and Nordstromsdropped.Yet Walmarts year-over-year online sales only grew 7 percent,leading its CEO to lament(哀叹),“Growth here is too slow”Part of the problem is that almost two decades after Amazonfiled the one click patent,the online retail shopping and buying experience is filled withfrictionsA recent study graded more than 600 internet retailers on how easy it was for consumersto shop,buy,and payAlmost half of the sites didnt get a passing grade and only 18 percent gotan Aor B.N The turmoil on the ground in physical retail is hard to square with the Censusdata Unfortunately,part of the explanation is that the Census retail data are unreliable Our deep100k into those data and their preparation revealed serious problemsIt seems likely that Censussimply misclassifies a large chunk of online salesIt is certain that the Census procedures,whichlump the online sales of major traditional retailers like Walmart with“non-store retailers1ike foodtruckscan mask major changes in individual retail categoriesThe bureau could easily presenttheir data in more useful waysbut they have chosen not to.O Despite the turmoil,brick and mortar wont disappear any time soonThe big questionsare which,if any,of the large traditional retailers will still be on the scene in a decade or twobecause they have successfully reinvented themselves,which new players will operate busy storeson Main Streets and maybe even in s
