Part III Reading Comprehension
Task 1
Although buses tend to be slower than the subway for traveling around New York City,
there are many reasons to use the bus while visiting New York City:

Buses offer the added advantage of being able to see various areas of Manhattan While
you ride.
How Much Does the Bus Cost?
Fare is $2.25 and can be paid with a MetroCard or coins (no dollar bills, no pennies).
A free transfer to another bus or the subway within 2 hours is available if you paid

to another bus (not to the subway)
within 2 hours.
Getting On and Off the Bus

As you see the bus approaching your stops, you can put your arm out to indicate to
the driver that you want to board the bus.
Enter the bus through the front doors and pay your fare.
Take a seat or move toward the back of the bus to make room for other people boarding
the bus.

Task 2
Marketing furniture to the public can be challenging for a small business owner.
Consumers buy furniture pieces only occasionally. However, there are several
furniture promotion ideas that can be used to help you reach your target
market.
One thing you can do is to talk with real estate (房地产) agents to allow you to
display your furniture in a new home or open house setting. This is a good way to
reach a key target market – new home buyers – who may need new furniture for
their future homes. Increasing foot traffic (顾客流量) is also important for a
furniture store. To get more people to the store, you can advertise a raffle event
(抽奖活动). This event can be promoted in your local media and through direct
mail campaigns or front door advertisements to generate more interest.
In tough economic times, small business owners often suffer most as a result of slow
consumer spending. To fight back against this, you have to make it easier of your
customers to buy furniture. If you can, offer in-store financing, or drop
the interest rate on your company’s credit terms, Consider lowering your prices
and holding two-for-one events to arouse more consumer interest.
