单选题{{B}}Passage Four{{/B}} In the past, the concept of marketing emphasized sales. The producer or manufacturer made a product he wanted to sell. Marketing was the task of figuring out how to sell the product. Basically, selling the product would be accomplished by sales promotion, which include advertising and personal selling. In addition to sales promotion, marketing also involved the physical distribution of the product to the places where it was actually sold. Distribution consisted of transportation, storage, and related services such as financing, standardization and grading, and the related risks. The modem marketing concept encompasses all of the activities mentioned, but it is based on a different set of principles. It subscribes to the notion that production can be economically justified only by consumption. In other words, goods should be produced only if they can be sold. Therefore, the producer should consider who is going to buy the product -or what the market for the product is -before production begins. This is very different from making a product and then thinking about how to sell it.

单选题What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange or red? If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, or an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined. You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, and the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we don' t choose our favorite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly. A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one, and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but also more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark gray. Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colorful things. Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colors they like and dislike. And don' t forget that anyone can guess about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief or a lampshade.

单选题{{B}}Passage 4{{/B}} Everyone in Britain has the right to religious freedom -- in teaching, worship and observance -- without interference from the community or the State. Religious organizations and groups may own property, run schools, and promote their beliefs in speech and writing. There is no religious bar to the holding public office. Britain has a long tradition of religious tolerance. Freedom of conscience in religious matters was achieved gradually from the seventeenth century on words. The laws discriminating against, minority religious groups were gradually administrated less harshly and then finally repealed. The past 30 years have seen the acceptance of a wide variety of religious beliefs and traditions of large numbers of immigrants are made at places of work to allow the members of non--Christian religious to follow their religious observances. There are two established churches in Britain, that is, churches legally recognised as official churches of the State: in England the (Anglican) Church of England, and in Scotland the (Presbyterian) Church Of Scotland. Ministers of the established churches, as well as clergy belong to other religious groups, work in services run by the State, such as the armed forces, national hospitals and prisons, and are paid a salary for such services by the State.
