ответить на вопросы,) answer the following questions about the meaning of business. questions with asterisks(*) cannot be answered directly from the text. business is a word which is commonly used in many different languages. but exactly what does it mean? the concepts and activities of business have increased in modern times. traditionally, business simply meant exchange or trade for things people wanted or needed. today it has a more technical definition. one definition of business is the production, distribution, and sale of goods and services for a profit. to examine this definition, we will look at its various parts.first, production is the creation of services or the changing of materials into products. one example is the conversion of iron ore into metal car parts. next, these products need to be moved from the factory to the marketplace. this is known as distribution. a car might be moved from a factory in detroit to a car dealership in miami.third is the sale of goods and services. sale is the exchange of a product or service for money. a car is sold to someone in exchange for money. goods are products which people either need or want; for example, cars can be classified as goods. services, on the other hand, are activities which a person or a group performs for another person or organization. for instance, an auto mechanic performs a service when he repairs a car. a doctor also performs a service by taking care of people when they are sick.business, then, is a combination of all these activities: production, distribution, and sale. however, there is one other important factor. this factor is the creation of profit or economic surplus. a major goal in the functioning of an american business company is making a profit. profit is the money that remains after all the expenses are paid. creating an economic surplus or a profit is, therefore, a primary goal of business activity.1)what does production involve? 2)what example of distribution is given in the reading? 3) * can you think of another example? 4)how do goods differ from services? 5)in addition to production, distribution, and sale, what other factor is important in defining business? 6)what is profit? 7) *in general, what do companies do with their profits? 8)compare your definition of business with the one given in the reading9) *how are they similar? 10)in what ways does your definition differ from the one presented in the text?

Here are four seasons in a year: spring, summer, autumn and winter. Every season is beautiful in its own way.

When spring comes nature awakens from its long winter sleep. The days become longer and the nights become shorter. The ground is covered with emeraldgreen grass and spring flowers. The air is fresh, the sky is blue and cloudless, and the sun shines brightly. The trees are in full blossom. The nightingale begins to sing its lovely songs, and sweet melodies may be heard from every wood and park. The days are warm and everything is full of life and joy.

Spring is followed by summer. The weather is usually fine in summer, but it can be very hot, especially in July. Sometimes there are storms with thunder and lightning. In summer people try to get away from the city noise and spend more time in the open air. They pick mushrooms and berries in the forest, swim in the rivers and lakes, go fishing and boating. Most people prefer to have their holidays in summer.

Autumn begins in September. The days become shorter and the nights become longer. The leaves turn yellow, red and brown and fall to the ground. Most birds fly away to warm countries. There's a short spell of dry sunny weather in September which is called Indian Summer. It's a beautiful time when the sky is cloudless, the trees around are golden, the air is transparent and it's still warm. But gradually it gets colder and colder. It often rains in October and November which makes autumn an unpleasant season.

In winter the sun sets early and rises late. The rivers and lakes are frozen over. Everything is covered with snow. Sometimes it's very cold, about 25-30 degrees below zero. Going out in such weather isn't very pleasant. Winter is a good time for sports. People go in for skating and skiing. Tobogganing is also popular, not as a kind of sports, but rather as fun.

As for me, I like all seasons, but I think there's nothing like late spring.
