单选题Read the following text. Choose the best word or phrase marked A, B, C or D
for each numbered blank. One factor that can
influence consumers is their mood state. Mood may be defined {{U}} {{U}}
1 {{/U}} {{/U}}a temporary and mild positive or negative feeling that is
generalized and not tied {{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}any
particular circumstance. Moods should be {{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}}
{{/U}}from emotions which are usually more intense, {{U}} {{U}} 4
{{/U}} {{/U}}to specific circumstances, and often conscious. {{U}}
{{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}one sense, the effect of a consumer's mood can
be thought of in {{U}} {{U}} 6 {{/U}} {{/U}}the same way as can
our reactions to the {{U}} {{U}} 7 {{/U}} {{/U}}of our
friends—when our friends are happy and "up", that tends to influence us
positively, {{U}} {{U}} 8 {{/U}} {{/U}}when they are "down",
that can have a {{U}} {{U}} 9 {{/U}} {{/U}}impact on us.
Similarly, consumers operating under a {{U}} {{U}} 10 {{/U}}
{{/U}}mood state tend to react to stimuli (刺激因素) in a direction {{U}}
{{U}} 11 {{/U}} {{/U}}with that mood state. Thus, for example, we
should expect to see {{U}} {{U}} 12 {{/U}} {{/U}}in a positive
mood state evaluate products in more of a {{U}} {{U}} 13
{{/U}} {{/U}}manner than they would when not in such a state. {{U}}
{{U}} 14 {{/U}} {{/U}}, mood states appear capable of {{U}}
{{U}} 15 {{/U}} {{/U}}a consumer's memory. Moods
appear to be {{U}} {{U}} 16 {{/U}} {{/U}}influenced by marketing
techniques. For example, the rhythm, pitch, and {{U}} {{U}} 17
{{/U}} {{/U}}of music has been shown to influence behavior such as the
{{U}} {{U}} 18 {{/U}} {{/U}}of time spent in supermarkets or
{{U}} {{U}} 19 {{/U}} {{/U}}to purchase products. In addition,
advertising can influence consumers' moods which, in {{U}} {{U}}
20 {{/U}} {{/U}}, are capable of influencing consumers' reactions to
products.
