C.由周某、甲公司双方平均分担损失,周某不补交货款,甲公司不退还订金

D.主要由甲公司承担损失,周某也应适当承担损失

答案

参考答案:B

解析:本题考查所有权的转移及风险负担。《民法通则》第七十二务规定:"按照合同或者其他合法方式取得财产的,财产所有权从财产交付时起转移。法律另有规定或者当事人另有约定的除外。"由于红木家具并未交付,故所有权并未发生移转,其意外灭失的风险应由原所有人承担。

(B)


Tim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York—he in computers, she in special education. "Teaching means everything to us", Tim would say. In April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life’s purpose.
Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Doily Patron’s foundation (基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer’s home town of Sevier, Tennessee. "I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire," Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, "as a reminder."
Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imagination library. The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.
The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look-see. "We didn’t want to give the children rubbish," says Linda. The books-reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists and Dollywood board members-included classics such as Ezra Jack. Keats’s The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney’s Llama series.
Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative "This program introduces us to books I’ve never heard of."
The Richters spend about $400 a month sending hooks to 200 children. "Some people sit there and wait to die," says Tim. "Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.\

What led Tim to think seriously about the meaning of life

A. His health problem

B. His love for teaching
C. The influence of his wife
D. The news from the Web
