35. According to the passage, which of the following is true? (A) Trunks send water to the roots. (B) Birds use seeds to build nests. (C) We use wood to make pieces of paper. (D) Wood is used to build fireplaces. Passage D Thomas and Louis Border founded Borders Book store in 1971. They were brothers in their 20s at the time and opened a small used-book shop in Ann Arbor, Michigan. They managed to work out an inventory management system, serving independent booksellers, and by 1988 their business had grown to include four stores. They recruited Robert DiRomualdo to run the business and subsequently sold Borders to Kmart in 1990. Since then, Kmart has been selling the company to the public, and Robert DiRomualdo is currently the CEO. Borders now operates over 225 Borders superstores, with one in Singapore and two in Britain. Its major competitor is Barnes & Noble. Despite Wall Street’s obsession with Borders’ Internet competitor, Amazon.com, which has a market capitalization of over $4 billion, Borders has remained committed to its brick and mortar approach. Borders has annual profits of over $100 million, while Amazon is still struggling to get itself out of the red. Although Internet wonders such as Amazon have defied the traditional laws of the market, Borders’ investors are betting that people will always want to go browse and drink coffee at stores like Borders and its competitor Barnes & Nobel.
