Wal-Mart Tries to Find Its Customer
For all its success in the United States--and there is plenty of it--Wal-Mart Stores is still struggling to figure out its performance at home, where sales growth at individual stores has dropped, its customers routinely flirt with rivals like Target for clothing and its advertising has often failed to inspire.
The retailer's plans to fix the problems became clearer yesterday, when Wal-Mart executives pledged to remodel (装饰) nearly half of its United States stores over the next 18 months, beef up its marketing division and expand a bold line of clothing across much of the chain.
The changes, explained in Wal-Mart's fourth-quarter earnings announcement yesterday, threw a spotlight on the increasingly important role of one man: Eduardo Castro-Wright, the new chief of Wal-Mart's United States stores. Mr. Castro-Wright is a popular figure in the company because of his success in transforming the retailer's Mexican division into one of its most profitable units.
Mr. Castro-Wright, 51, has proved to be an aggressive innovator, overseeing a change in regional store management that will put more supervisors in the field rather than in the company's hometown of Bentonville, Ark., and encouraging experimentation, like a new pharmacy station that brings customers closer to pharmacists.
"Clearly, Wal-Mart's fortunes over the next 12 to 18 months counts on the quality of the job that Eduardo Castro-Wright does," said Robert F. Buchanan, a retail analyst at A. G. Edwards ＆ Sons. "He is the man on the hot seat."
Bill Dreher, a retail analyst at Deutsche Bank Securities, called Mr. Castro-Wright a rising star and a very strong candidate to succeed the chief executive, H. Lee Scott Jr., providing that he can fix what analysts say is broken in the United States--namely a shopping experience that Wal-Mart executives concede has become inconsistent and, at times, unpleasant because of cluttered aisles and outdated decoration.
Sales at Wal-Mart stores open for at least a year grew, on average, 3.6 percent a month in fiscal(财政的)year 2005, compared with a 5.8 percent gain for Target, according to the International Council of Shopping Centers, a trade group.
And as yesterday's earnings--or perhaps more accurately, investors' reactions--showed, managing Wal-Mart is no simple task. Profit rose 13 percent in the quarter, but Wal-Mart, the nation's largest retailer, predicted that full-year earnings would fall below Wall Street's expectations.
As a result, Wal-Mart's shares fell as much as 1.5 percent in morning trading. Shares closed down 36 cents, or less than 1 percent, at ＄45.74.
Wal-Mart said it was optimistic about 2006 despite' the financial burdens--among them higher energy prices--facing its predominantly working-class shoppers.
The company forecast full-year earnings yesterday of ＄2.88 to ＄2.95 a share, compared with analysts' estimates of ＄2.98. Wal-Mart pointed out that the Wall Street estimates did not reflect higher interest costs and share repurchases.
Mr. Scott said the retailer finished strong in its fourth quarter, which ended Jan. 31. Net income rose to ＄3.6 billion, or 86 cents a share, for the quarter, from ＄3.2 billion, or 75 cents a share, a year ago. Sales increased 8.6 percent, to ＄89 billion from ＄82 billion, but overall revenue of ＄90.1 billion was below analysts' estimates.
In a conference call this morning, Mr. Castro-Wright outlined his plan to improve the uneven shopping experience at Wal-Mart's American stores, which accounted for 67 percent of the company's ＄312 billion in annual sales last year.
Perhaps the most ambitious part of the plan is the proposed renovation of 1,800 stores over the next 18 months. The remodeling is intended to bring the chain's oldest outlets in line wi

A. Wal-Mart cuts sales forecast
Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. cut its August sales forecast Monday, saying it expects sales at stores open at least a year to be flat to up 2 percent, citing weak back-to-school trends and hurricanes that forced it to close up to 75 stores. Wal-Mart had been forecasting that sales at stores open at least a year, known as same-store sales, would rise 2 to 4 percent for the month. Wal-Mart stock fell about 2 percent in morning trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
B. El Paso sees $ 2. 7B drop in assets
El Paso Corp. on Monday disclosed the full damage from its drastic cut in reserves earlier this year, saying a long-awaited restatement will slash the value of its oil and gas assets by $ 2.7 billion. The Houston company, the largest U.S. natural gas pipeline operator, also said it expects to cut its debt by 9 percent from its current level to under $17 billion by year-end. El Paso, which earlier this year cut its proven natural gas reserves by 41 percent and said it would restate earnings back to 1999, had about $ 2. 7 billion in cash and credit revolvers as of July 31.
C. FedEx shares rise on outlook
FedEx Corp. raised its earnings forecast for the fiscal first quarter and frill year Monday, citing strong demand for its international express, ground and less-than-truckload services. Shares of FedEx rose as much as 3:7 percent in the first half of Monday's New York Stock Exchange trading. Chief Financial Officer Alan Graf said risks existed, such as prolonged high oil prices, that could hurt the world economy, but the company expects its business to remain strong.
D. IBM sees 30% gain in Web hosting
International Business Machines Corp. widened its lead last year in the U. S. market for Internet hosting services as it won a greater share of the medium-sized business market, according to data recently published by market research firm IDC. The Armonk, N. Y. - based company has identified Web hosting as a key to boosting overall revenue growth. As the hardware business that had been its mainstay has matured over the past several years, IBM has focused on services. According to the most recent report from IDC, published in late July, IBM's Web hosting market share in the United States rose to 24.8 percent in 2003 from 23.5 percent in 2002 and just 15 percent in 2000.
E. Viagra abuse may boost HIV risk
San Francisco has petitioned federal regulators to warn that use of anti-impotence drugs such as Viagra could increase the risk of sexually transmitted disease and HIV, officials said on Monday. The request to the Food and Drug Administration earlier this month is a response to the recreational use of Viagra among gay men, who use it to enhance promiscuous sex. "The predominant problem that we see in San Francisco is with widespread use among gay men with multiple partners," said Jeffrey Klausner, director of sexually transmitted disease prevention at the city's health department.
The company has decreased its expectation of turnover.

But local and national business interests that stand to profit from the sale of alcohol, including real estate developers, grocery chains, restaurant groups and Wal-Mart, are combining their political and financial muscle to try to persuade hundreds of dry towns and counties to go wet. In the process, they are changing the face of the once staunchly prohibitionist Bible Belt.
Attempts by Wal-Mart and others to allow alcohol sales in other places that remain dry—415 counties in the South and in Kansas still prohibit such sales—are meeting fierce resistance from some church groups and religious leaders. They argue that returning to the days when liquor flowed will mean more family violence, underage drinking, drunken driving and a general moral decay in the community.
Wal-Mart, based in a dry county in Arkansas, forbids drinking at events held at corporate headquarters. But the giant retailer has made a push in the last year to sell more liquor, along with beer and wine, in its stores.
From the beginning of this passage we know that ______ .
A．most of the American states were prohibited to take a rest
B．the United States of America prohibited others from rest
C．the United States of America prohibited alcohol sales
D．most states in the country began to allow alcohol sales

Shaming Punishments
Last month, James Connolly, a junior at the University of Massachusetts, stood in front of a local police station wearing a toga (长袍) as punishment.
His crime？ He was charged with underage drinking, illegal possession of alcohol and excessive noise while holding a party.
This shaming punishment has increased in the US in recent years, mostly imposed by local judges for less-serious crimes, such as drunk driving and theft.
They believe shame is the best petty crime deterrent (威慑). For example, in Tennessee, Judge James McKenzie has made shoplifters (商店货物扒手) stand outside Wal-Mart with signs that read, "I am a thief put here by order of Judge McKenzie".
"Alternative punishments like community service and fines don't convey moral condemnation (谴责) of the criminal," said Dan Kahan, a University of Chicago Law School professor, in an article published on the university's website. "They aren't shameful enough."
Shaming punishments are sometimes called Scarlet (红色的) Letter punishments. The name comes from US author Nathaniel Hawthorne's 1850 novel The Scarlet Letter. In this novel, a woman is forced to wear a scarlet "A" on her clothes as punishment for her adultery (通奸).
However, University of Iowa law professor Andrew Hosmanek said there is an important difference between the shaming punishments of colonial America and those assigned in states like Tennessee.
"Early societies often had a 're-acceptance' ceremony to welcome the offender back into main society," says Hosmanek. "Contemporary punishments in America lack this."
Supporters of shaming punishment argue that public shaming is a good way of expressing community values. Some judges say shamed offenders seldom repeat their crimes.
Others aren't so sure. "There is little evidence to suggest that shaming punishments are successful in preventing people from committing specific crimes. And a shamed criminal may face a hard battle to regain credibility in society," said Hosmanek. "So, a shaming punishment may force the offender into more crime to support himself."
Experts also debate, shaming punishment's damage to human dignity. "Since the point is to shame, it's of course degrading (侮辱人格的)," said Linda Malone, director of the Human Rights and National Security Law Programme at William and Mary Law School.
"US law only prohibits punishment that is 'cruel and unusual' - not 'inhuman and degrading. It's very difficult for a thief to prove that holding a sign in front of Wal-Mart is 'cruel and unusual'."
James Connolly was accused of all the following crimes EXCEPT
A．illegally possessing alcohol.
B．smuggling drugs,
C．drinking at an illegal age.
D．making too much noise at a party.

Let China's Retail Wars Begin
Newly unfettered foreign chains could grab more of China's market. On a cold and windy Friday afternoon, Li Fang is rushing to get some shopping done before the weekend begins. And the 30-year-old human resources manager knows exactly where she wants to go: the Carrefour hypermarket, a 10-minute bus ride from her apartment in north Beijing. it's not the cheapest option, but the French-owned store has all the meat, vegetables and fruit she needs. "Carrefour offers high quality and a better variety of products compared to other supermarkets," she says.
In recent years, major international chains like Carrefour SA of France and Wal-mart Stores, Inc. of the United States have expanded aggressively in China. Local Chinese retailers have loudly protested this and lobbied heavily for protection from the new competition in price and service that these major retailers have set off. Earlier drafts of the law had included a requirement for a system to rate and punish foreign retailers who had previously set up stores without central government approval. Another proposal would have prohibited foreign retailers from opening stores in cities that haven't drawn up detailed maps of planned retail sites, which would include many smaller cities.
Many more Chinese will soon get a chance to sample the quality and variety at Carrefour and other foreign-owned stores. In keeping with the conditions for China's membership in the World Trade Organization, Beijing on Dec. 11 lifted most restrictions on foreign retailers. Gone are limits on the number of stores, rules confining them to large cities, and regulations capping the foreigners' stake in local ventures at 65%.
China erected those hurdles to give its own companies a chance to copy the West's big-store model—and they have done so with great success. The top four retailers in the country are all run by the government or local entrepreneurs, led by a rapidly expanding chain called Shanghai Bailian. But the foreign companies are nipping at the locals' heels, and they have big plans for expansion now that the barriers have been tom down. Pads-based Carrefour has some 240 stores in China, and plans to open as many as 150 more this year. Its 2003 sales of ＄1.8 billion make it China's fifth-biggest retailer. China "is very important for our future," says Jean-Luc Chereau, executive manager of Carrefour China.
PREMIUM ON CONVENIENCE
Carrefour was quick to get into China and often pushed the regulatory envelope, bypassing Beijing and cutting deals with local governments. Although that strategy got Carrefour into hot water at the time, the company has emerged as the undisputed leader. It has even bested its Bentonville (Ark.) rival, Wal-Mart Stores Inc., (WMT) which has 43 stores in 20 Chinese cities, and another 10 in the works this year. Germany's Metro is the No. 3 foreign player, with 24 stores and another 40 within five years. All told, dozens of foreign companies have opened in the mainland.
Why the rush？ Over the past 20 years, retail sales in China have jumped nearly 15% annually, to some ＄628 billion in 2004—making it the third-largest market on earth. And consumer expectations have shot up even faster. Just a decade ago most Chinese were content to line up in state-owned stores to buy whatever meager products were available, then shuffle off to outdoor markets for meat, eggs, and vegetables. Now both local chains and the multinationals are pushing out the stodgy old state retailers and mom-and-pop shops by building big, convenient stores in choice central locations in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. With the end of geographic restrictions, the battle for dominance will shift to smaller cities.
The customers are a middle class that today totals at least 100 million. These shoppers like to buy clothes, TVs, and groceries at clean, modem outlets with a full ran
