[A] Refuse Gimmicks [B] Be Wary of Price

Switch — or Threaten to [G] Don’t Buy on Impulse
In recent years the basic market principles of competition and choice have
expanded into new aspects of American life. Consumers now face a bewildering
array of options for air travel, phone service, medical care, even postal
service. Car buyers can shop on the Internet for the best price at any
dealership in their area. In some parts of the country, homeowners can purchase
electricity from a menu of companies. All this choice translates into
unprecedented consumer power. One of the persistent myths of
capitalist culture is that business people love competition. They don’t. They
spend their waking hours plotting ways to avoid it, and keep prices high. These
days they use information technologies that give them intricate data on
individual shoppers, and then present multiple prices to get each consumer to
cough up the maximum he is willing to pay. The airlines have mastered this game,
offering many levels of fares. So how can you make the most of
your new power as a consumer? Here are rules to help you find your
way. 41.______ In the New Economy, competition
is so strong that fewer stores and services are immune to price pressure, so
sharpen your bargaining skills. Ask retailers to match prices you’ve seen on the
Internet. Ask at the checkout counter if there are any coupons or discounts you
can use. Ask hotel clerks if there are better rates available. You’ll be
surprised how often the answer is yes. 42.______
As competition heats up and pushes prices down, businesses scramble to
boost their profits by heaping on extras: rust proofing your car, service
contracts on your appliance, prepaid gasoline for your rental car. These stunts
are devised to make you pay more at the last minute and probably aren’t a good
deal. 43.______ The information highway is a
two-way street. As a consumer, you can get more data. But while you are roaming
the Web, businesses are studying your habits and vulnerabilities.
Have a weakness for chocolates? Don’t be surprised if Amazon. Com offers
to sell you a box while you’re browsing for books. They’re using a wrinkle on
the last-minute marketing pitch perfected by McDonald’s: “Would you like fries
with that?” The ploy works remarkably well. 44.______
Versioning is a tactic used by businesses to separate status-conscious
consumers from the bargain-hungry ones — since the former mean bigger profit
margins. “Deluxe” and “platinum” are code words used to entice status seekers to
open their wallets. Add a third price level and the purses of
even bargain-hungry shoppers can be pried open. Research shows that many
consumers who might pick the lower-priced option when given just two choices
will choose the medium-priced alternative if given three. “Consumers try to
avoid extreme options,” write Carl Shapiro and Hal R. Varian in their book
Information Rules. Consumers in .the New Economy face more
demands on their time and attention than ever before, so they’re inclined to
make the most familiar choice. Consider this: it had been a decade and a half
since the breakup of AT&T, yet it is still by far the largest long-distance
provider — even while other phone companies offer $ 50 worth of free service for
switching. More than ever, it pays to change services and brands.
If you don’t want the hassles of switching remember that businesses are
eager to hang on to consumers. The next time you get a tempting offer from a
credit-card issuer or a phone company, call your current provider and ask them
to match the deal. You’ll be pleased to find how often they’ll agree.

填空题{{B}}Directions:{{/B}} You are going to read a text about the
situation of the blacks in America, followed by a list of examples and
explanations. Choose the best example or explanation from the list A-F for each
numbered subheading (41-45). There is one extra example which you do not need to

Although no longer slavers after the Civil War, American
blacks took no significant part in the life of white America except as servants
or laborers. Many thousands of them emigrated from the war-ravaged South to the
North from 1865 to 1915 in the hope of finding work in the big industrial
cities. Whole communities of blacks crowded together into ghettos in New York
City, Chicago and Detroit, where once the poor white immigrants had lived. These
ghettos, neglected by the city authorities, became slums. The schools to which
black children went were hopelessly inadequate. Unemployment in black ghettos
remained consistently higher than in white communities. 41.
Serious problems with black ghettos.__________ Stable family
life was difficult to maintain. 42. The extreme poverty of the
blacks. __________ In the late 1970s, nearly a third of all
blacks still belonged to the so-called "underclass", they are so
"under-privileged" and poor that they cannot seize the opportunity for
advancement. 43. Efforts to put an end to racial discrimination.
__________ Race relations in the USA continue to be a thorny
problem. 44. Improvements in lives of the blacks.
__________ Despite some setbacks, race relations are
improving. 45. Prevailing violence in solving racial problems.
__________ It is said that television had an enormous influence
on frustrated and bitter blacks, for it showed them bow much better whites on
the whole lived than blacks. At the end of the 1960s, there were serious riots
in many cities. The violence quickly died down. Blacks began to
use their votes to exert political pressure. Cities like Atlanta (Georgia), Gary
(Indiana), and Los Angeles (California) elected black mayors. Integration of
schools, despite resistance from white groups, goes on, and the proportion of
blacks in American colleges has increased dramatically in the last 20 years.
There are reasons to maintain a cautious optimism that progress in race
relations will continue. [A] It has been estimated that there
are more than 20 million Americans in this category, 10% of the population,
including many millions of whites. [B] Blacks are gaining in
self-confidence. In more and more areas they are winning control of their
communities, and their standard of living is going up faster than that of the
poor whites. It is still a hard struggle. There is still prejudice and even some
hatred, but in most walks of American life there are now more blacks than ever
before. [C] The era of blatant discrimination ended in the 1960s
through the courageous actions of thousands of blacks participating in peaceful
marches and sitins, to force Southern states to implement the Federal
desegregation laws in schools and public accommodations. Down came the "whites
only" notices in bused, hotels, trains, restaurants, sporting events, restrooms
and on park benches that once could be found everywhere throughout the South.
Gone were the restrictions that prevented blacks voting. Gone, too, were the
hideous lynch-ings, which since the Civil War had caused the death of thousands
of innocent blacks— hanged without trial by white mobs. However, even today,
poor, uneducated lacks do not always receive the same degree of justice that the
more affluent and better educated can expect. [D] Many blacks
chose to keep silent about their unfairness instead of resorting to violence.
But their silence was also problem provoking: on the one hand, silence would
build up a lot of complaints and hatred in their minds, thus resulting in a
negative approach to life and everything; on the other hand, silence would give
the whites an impression that the blacks take the reality for granted and put
more racial discrimination on them. [E] Unemployed fathers would
on occasion walk out of their homes and never return. Children neglected by
their parents turned in some instances to drugs and crimes. There are more than
700 murders a year in cities like New York, Detroit, Los Angeles and Houston,
and most of these deaths are of blacks killed by blacks. The black ghettos are
dangerous both for blacks and non-blacks. [F] Radical blacks
like the Black Panthers demanded a free black state within the Union, and
advocated violence to achieve that end and to protect themselves against what
they felt was police brutality toward blacks. For a while, violence
overshadowed the influence of the greatly respected pacifist black, Martin
Luther King, Jr. , who had provided the inspiration and leadership for those
devoted to a peaceful change and whose murder in 1968 stunned America.

填空题It is often the little details that customers recall even more than the product they purchased or the service they received. Little details that customers notice, and that makes them feel good about not only making the purchase, but making the purchase from you, is a significant part of the overall customer experience. Here are several ways to go above and beyond good customer service and boost customer loyalty. (41) Attentiveness New York restaurateur Danny Meyer is a master of detail, and his employees are trained to notice, and when appropriateact on, even the tiniest scraps of information they observe or discover about a guest. If you happen to mention when making a reservation that it's a birthday dinner, the manager will make it a point to come to the table and extend Danny's birthday wishes to the appropriate person. (42) Recognition Greeting your customer by name is a very meaningful and treasured detail that adds greatly to the way they experience doing business with you. If your office works by appointment, the receptionist should make sure he knows just who will be walking in the door next, and immediately greet them with eye contact, a smile and "Good morning, are you Mr. Morgan?" if she isn't sure if it's Mr. Morgan, or simply, "Good morning Mr. Morgan" if he is. (43) Personalization Don't we all have a story about the coffee shop waitress who doesn't ever need to be told how we like our iced tea, or the diner where the cook starts to make the same thing you always order the minute he sees you walk in the door? The salesperson who sends gifts in pink because she remembers that's your favorite color. These experiences add value, and they also instill an enormous amount of loyalty. (44) Consideration When customers buy something, that includes an outside component that's integral to its use or makes it more user--friendly, do you ask if they have that thing or if they stitl have enough of it left? (45)Appreciation What do you do to show your customers, your clients or your patients that you appreciate them? After all, there are probably several other businesses that do what you do. Feeling appreciated is an experience that is universally meaningful. Always be sure to let your customers know that you are extending this extra to them because they are a valued customer and you want to show them that you appreciate them. Meaningful, memorable, fun, unusual and unexpected experiences influence the way customers perceive you in general and feel about you in particular. These little details are so easy to overlook, so tempting to brush off as unimportant. But add a number of seemingly minor details together, and you end up with something of far more value than you would without them.[A] There is nothing more flattering, there is nothing that makes someone feel more special than receiving a warm, friendly greeting by name when walking into a place of business.[B] For example, if you sell birthday cakes, do you have candles to go with it? If you have a pediatric dental practice, do you have a little stepstool in the bathroom so the child can reach the sink? If you have a business that makes keys, do you have something that could be put on the key to identify it so the customer will always remember what the key is for?[C] Make them laugh, thank them in a showy way for a major purchase, have a contest or a drawing for something fun that they could share with family and friends.[D] Is there anything you and your staff can do to ensure your customers know that you not only pay attention to their preferences, but remember them and cater to them for each and every transaction?[E] If a staff member overhears a conversation in which one of the guests mentions they either like or dislike something, within minutes, everyone who might come into contact with that guest knows about it. And they tailor your food accordingly, too.[F] And one of the easiest and most overlooked ways to show them appreciation is to send a handwritten note on lovely stationary.
