【小題1】What kind of role did Charlton Heston often play in films?

閱讀下列文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳答案。

The old-fashioned general store is fast disappearing. This is, perhaps, a pity, because shopping today seems to lack that that personal element which existed when the shopkeeper knew all his regular customers personally. He could, for instance, remember which brand of tea Mr. Smith usually bought or what sort of washing-powder Mrs. Jones preferred. Not only was the shop a center of buying and selling, but also a social meeting place.

    A prosperous general store might have employed four or five assistants, and so there were very few problems in management as far as the staff were concerned. But now that the supermarket has replaced the general store, the job of the manager has changed completely. The modern supermarket manager has to properly deal with a staff of as many as a hundred, apart from all the other everyday problems of running a large business.

    Every morning the manager must, like the commander of an army division, carry out an inspection of the business of the day. He must see that everything is running smoothly. He will have to give advice and make decisions as problems appear, and he must know how to get his huge staff to work efficiently with their respective responsibilities.

    No matter what he has to do throughout the day, however, the supermarket manager must be ready for any emergency that may happen suddenly. They say in the trade that you are not really an experienced supermarket manager until you have dealt with a flood, a fire, a birth and a death in your store.

    A. there is less trading business

    B. there used to be more social activities in the old days

    C. the supermarket manager has more problems than before

    D. there is less personal contact between manager and customer

3．In what aspect has the job of the store manager changed?

    A. He doesn't sell tea and washing-powder any more.

    B. He has much larger staff to take care of, not to say all the other daily problems of running the store.
