Supermarket Morrisons today announced to launch an online shopping operation within two years in a move to catch up with its web-savvy rivals. The UK's fourth biggest supermarket said Morrisons.com would offer grocery and non-food products but would take time to build from zero.
As part of its online development, Morrisons - the only one of the "Big Four" grocers to have a significant internet business - revealed it had invested £32 million in a 10% stake of a New York-based online grocer. The announcement came as Morrisons posted a 13% increase in underlying pre-tax profits of £869 million in the year to January 30.
Morrisons is implementing a growth strategy which is focused on expanding its e-commerce business and moving into the convenience store market. It has earmarked £3 billion in investment over the next three years. The supermarket floated the idea of launching its own website last year and today is the first firm commitment to realising that goal.
Last month, the company took its first major step to launching an online operation with the acquisition of internet retailer Kiddicare for £70 million. The company said this move, along with the 10% "strategic" stake in American online grocer FreshDirect announced today, would help it launch its own website in the future. FreshDirect was launched in 2002 and serves 600,000 customers in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. The deal will see Morrisons chief executive Dalton Philips join the company's board.
Morrisons also revealed it would open three convenience stores, around 3,000 sq ft in size, in July under the name M Local. The shops will be located in Morrisons' heartland in the north of England, in neighbourhoods around the M62 motorway. The company said the convenience business was the second-fastest growing part of the market. Rival models include Tesco Metro and Sainsburys Local.
【小题1】FreshDirect severs 600,000 customers in .
| A．Connecticut | B．New Jersey | C．New York | D．certain states |
| A．Taking measures to beat its rivals as quickly as it could |
| B．Offering enough grocery and non-food products from zero |
| C．Building more convenience stores and market in the United States |
| D．Launching an online operation with the acquisition of interest retailer |
| A．Morrisons Has Many Business Rvials |
| B．Morrisons Will Launch an Online Operation |

When people hear that I’m the youngest person to row solo across the Atlantic Ocean, they all have the same question: How did a 22-year old woman row a 19-foot boat for 70 days through high winds and crashing waves? Well, the biggest difficulty for me wasn’t physical. By the time I decided to do the ocean row, I had already biked 3,300 miles cross-country, run across the Mojave Desert, and swum the 325-mile length of the Allegheny River. No, the tough part would be mental: How would I handle the loneliness, the boredom of the vast sea?
I set off on January 3, 2010. I set my sights on getting past the quarter-way mark, which would take about 20 days.
Day 20, January 22, was gray and cloudy. I could have done something to celebrate, such as treating myself to a chocolate bar. But I didn’t.
I was suffering from terrible loneliness. I hadn’t seen landing over two weeks. Every day was beginning to feel the same. Eating, rowing, sleeping, watch the sky, watch the ocean.
Then, around sunset, I saw something move on the horizon. They were dolphins! They circled my boat. Suddenly I felt so grateful. They had come to help me celebrate, just when I needed them. I rowed at full strength for the next 20 minutes with the dolphins around. By the time we went our separate ways, I was no longer lonely. Better yet, I knew I would be okay.
I did make it, all 2,817 miles. I hit the coast of Guyana, South America, on March 14, after 70 days and five hours at sea. My ocean row raised $70,000 for the Blue Planet Run Foundation, which funds drinking water programs around the world. I know some athletes spend the entire journey imagining the end, and that helps them get through. But for me, the secret is to focus on the moment, where you experience the personal growth — those moments of awareness of being connected to the sun, the weather, and the waves. And, on the best day of my life, those dolphins, which freed myself from terrible loneliness.
1.Which is the step taken as part of preparation for the tough row?
A．swimming the 325-mile length of the river
B．answering the same question raised by people
C．running 3,300 miles cross-country
D．biking across the Mojave Desert
2.What does the underlined part mean?
A．I didn’t have any chocolate bar for energy.
B．I wasn’t in the mood to celebrate my first goal.
C．It’s a pity not to celebrate my passing the quarter of the way
D．It’s a pity not to treat myself to a chocolate bar on Day 20.
3.What can be implied from the last two paragraphs?
A．Imagination was an effective way to help me get through.
B．The Blue Planet Run Foundation helped me a lot.
C．The dolphins accompanied me to reach my destination
D．The unexpected dolphins swept away my loneliness
4.Which can be the best title of the passage?
A．The day I stopped being lonely
B．The only challenge for a 22-year old
C．How to overcome loneliness at sea.
D．How to row alone across the Atlantic
