填空题 Passage One: Megane sales drive Renault to top position Renault, the French carmaker, lifted its profit outlook for this year after posting stronger growth in the first half than its European rivals. Boosted by sales of its revamped, mid-size Megane model, the group raised its forecast for operating margin by one percentage point to 5.5 percent, up from 3.7 percent in last year. Net profit rose in the first half by 29 percent to €1.51bn ($1.82bn). Revenues rose 12 percent to €20.76bn. Renault's improved outlook follows a hint from PSA Peugeot Citroen, its larger French rival, that it too could raise its profit forecasts despite a fall in earnings this year. Both carmakers have benefited from a rebound in the European market. Renault's shares surged 5.3 percent to €64.45 in Wednesday morning trade in Paris, adding to an 18 percent rise since the start of the year. 'These are very good results, better than our own forecasts and those of the market', said Louis Schweitzer, Chief Executive. Operating profit more than doubled to €1. 28bn, helped by results outside western Europe, which moved into profit led by explosive growth in Turkey. Renault is reaping the benefits of a strong vehicle line-up, with consumers drawn to the distinctive shapes of its Megane models as well as its Espace people carrier. Its buoyant forecast contrasts with the gloom surrounding larger European competitors such as Volkswagen, which last week slashed its profit forecasts, and Fiat, which announced stable operating losses of €282m at its automobile division on Monday. Nissan, the Japanese carmaker in which Renault has a 44 percent stake, contributed the bulk of net profit with €939m and will help cost savings at the French group in the second half through shared platforms. Mr. Schweitzer is stepping down as Chief Executive next year to be replaced by the respected head of Nissan, Carlos Ghosn. AB Volvo, the truck maker in which Renault has a 20 percent stake, contributed €124m. Some analysts have suggested that this year could represent the high point in Renault's product cycle. But Mr Schweitzer dismissed the idea, saying he was convinced earnings would rise next year小题:Match the expressions 1-7 with their meanings A-G 1 outlook A when sales and share prices increase after a fall 2 posting B changed so as to be more attractive 3 boosted C rose very fast 4 revamped D announcing 5 rebound E probable future 6 surged F increased 100 percent 7 doubled G helped
