- Dear Customers,
I feel quite pleased to announce Amazon Prime, our latest membership program, which provides “all-you-can-eat” express shipping. It’s simple: for a directly yearly membership fee, you get unlimited two-day shipping for free on over a million in store items. Members also get overnight shipping for only $3.99 per item—order as late as 6:30PM ET.
Amazon Prime takes the effort out of ordering: no lowest purchase and no combining orders. Two-day shipping becomes an everyday experience rather than an occasional excitement.
We are offering Amazon Prime membership at the introductory price of $79 per year, which includes sharing the benefits with up to four family members in your household. Considering that we normally charge $9.48 for two-day shipping on a single book and $ 16.48 for overnight, many of our customers will find the program very rewarding. It works across books, DVDs, music, electronics, kitchen, tool, health, personal care, etc, etc.
We expect Amazon Prime to be expensive for Amazon.com in short term. In the long run, we hope to earn even more of your business, which will make it good for us too. We hope you enjoy our latest transformation(转变).
You can sign up for membership with one click HERE.
Sincerely,
Jeff Bezos
Founder & CEO

【小题4】C- 本文是一封亚马逊成立者和经理写给浏览亚马逊网页顾客的信。简单介绍了会员制度和对商 品价格的承诺，表达了对来访顾客的欢迎。
【小题1】分析判断题。该文介绍网上亚马逊会员制度，是希望顾客能够成为会员。由最后一句话You can sign up for membership with one click HERE.点击这里成为会员。表明这一篇信是在网上的，会员业务也是在网上的，所以是鼓励更多顾客上网消费。故选D
【小题2】计算题。由第一段get unlimited two-day shipping for free得到2天无限制的免费浏览、Members also get overnight shipping for only $3.99 per item—order as late as 6:30PM ET.会员可以得到一整夜的浏览只花3.99美元。以及后文Considering that we normally charge $9.48 for two-day shipping on a single book and $16.48 for overnight,考虑到平时我们对一本书的浏览收费9.48美元，加一晚上16.48美元。可以看出平时看一本书一天加一夜是26.96美元，现在只需要3.99美元，相减得出21.97美元，故选A
【小题3】分析判断题。该句which provides “all-you-can-eat” express shipping.。提供---快速的浏览。各选项意思为A直接的B无限制的C方便的D便宜的。All you can eat直译是你所能吃的的意思。结合各选项比对，unlimited更合适，故选B
【小题4】细节题。由倒数第二段倒数第二句 In the long run, we hope to earn even more of your business, which will make it good for us too可知，长期来看，我方希望能够得到你方的更多业务，这一举动也会使得我方受益。故选C
