the u.s.retailers(零售商) attracted discount-hungry consumers with specials(特价商品) of television, dvd players and other gift. discounters like wal-mart and target had the greatest success, offering customers early bird specials, while major department stores and clothing chains only met modest sales goals. online sales were also strong.
“it was as expected. it wasn’t source of great prosperity, but it was a good start,” said nevill, a man in a us retail consulting firm. he said, “one thing we often heard was that only things marked down(降价) were selling. consumers want a bargain, especially around the holiday.” shoppers did seem to like the many markdowns. a lady in the state of Connecticut said, “i’ve never seen so many sales. i feel like a kid in a candy store.”
Nevill estimated that discounters had a 4% gain over last year’s thanksgiving figure, while sales at department stores and mall-based clothing chains were up 2% for the weekend. however, the thanksgiving weekend is not necessarily a good way to judge how retailers will be successful for the season. over the past few years, the weekend accounted for less than 10% of sales.

Mary didn’t know what to send to her grandparents for Christmas. It was always hard to choose a good Christmas present for them. They didn’t need much, and it was hard for her to be creative every year.
One year, she sent them a big wooden elephant. It sat on the counter for a year, but then it disappeared, probably into a closet somewhere. Another year, she made handmade soaps with nice smells, but they probably weren’t any better than store-bought soaps. Last year, she sent lots of nice pictures of herself in frames, but grandparents’ house was small, and they couldn’t hang up very many.
This year, she decided on fruit. She lived where it was warm and there was lots of nice fruit. Her grandparents lived up north, where it colder and they couldn’t get fresh fruit all year, or at least not oranges and grapefruit. Fresh fruit was healthy for her grandparents, too.
Mary went to a fruit store and sampled the red oranges. She really liked them and bought a kilogram. Then she tried three kinds of grapefruit. The white ones were sour. The star grapefruit were interesting, but the dark red grapefruit were great. So she got a kilogram.
Mary carefully packed the fruit in a box to keep them safe and dry in case one got smashed and its juice got everywhere. Then she wrote the address on the box and mailed it from the store. She felt happy with what she bought.
A few days later, Mary got a phone call from her grandparents, thanking her for the lovely fruit. They said it was a healthy, tasty, and very thoughtful gift. Mary had never felt sogood before.
