单选题FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE BUYING BEHAVIOR Throughout the buying process, various factors may' influence a buyer's purchase decision. An awareness of these factors and consumer preferences enables companies to appeal to the group most likely to respond to its products and services. Some of these factors include the following. CULTURE. The culture and subcultures we belong to shape our values, attitudes, and beliefs, and they influence the way we respond to tike world around us. Understanding culture is therefore an increasingly important step in international business and in marketing in diverse countries such as the United States. SOCIAL CLASS. In addition to being members of a particular culture, we also belong to a certain social class — upper, middle, lower, m' somewhere in between. In general, members of various classes enjoy different activities, buy different goods, shop in different places, and react to different media. REFERENCE GROUP. A reference group consists of people who have a good deal in common—family members, friends, co-workers, fellow students, teenagers, sports enthusiasts, music lovers, computer buffs. We are all members of many such reference groups, and we use the opinions of the appropriate group as a benchmark when we buy certain types of products or services. For example, shopping malls are today losing what has long been their most faithful audience — teens. That's because Generation Xers (those born between 1965 and 1978) think that malls are for parents and that malls have too many rules. So some retailers like Urban Outfitters and Tower Records refuse to open stores in most malls. SELF-IMAGE. The tendency to believe that "you are what you buy" is especially prevalent among young people. Marketers capitalize on our need to express our identity through our purchases by emphasizing the image value of products and services. That's why professional athletes and musicians are frequently used as product endorsers—so that we incorporate part of their public image into our own self-image. After all, doesn't everyone want to "be like Mike Jordan"? SITUATIONAL FACTORS. These factors include events or circumstances occurring in our lives that are more circumstantial in nature. For example, you have a coupon, you're in a hurry, it's Valentine's Day, it's your birthday, you're in a bad mood, and so on. Situational factors influence our buying patterns.

单选题TapeStore: A NEW TAPE SIORAGE SYSTEM TapeStore is a new kind of tape storage system which can store up to 6,000 computer tapes. No other tape storage system can hold as many computer tapes as TapeStore. The tapes look exactly like video cassettes. Many hundreds of data files can be stored on each tape, up to a maximum of 500 million bytes of data. If you stored the same amount of information on paper, you would need nearly 4.5 billion printed pages. The machine is a tall black box with a mechanical arm. The machine is 2.5 metres high and 3.0 metres wide. This is how it works. Each tape has a code printed on it. YOU feed the code number into TapaStore, which then looks for the code. As soon as TapaStore locates the cede, the arm reaches in and pulls out the tape. The system is very fast. It takes the mechanical arm about 10 seconds to find the tape it is looking for. The machine then searches the tape to extract the required file, and this take less than a minute. A human technician would have to locate and remove the tape by hand; and could take at least an hour to find the right file on the tape. Some of the world's biggest companies, including banks, insurance companies, airlines, telephone companies, utilities and computer centres, have bought the system. They like it particularly because the system guarantees the security of their data. TapeStore was originally developed in Canada and is now being marketed world-wide. In Europe alone, 750 have already been installed at a cost of 480,000 dollars each.

单选题· Read the following passage which advises candidates how to answer difficult interview questions.· Are the sentences 16-22 "Right" or "Wrong"? If there isn't enough information to answer "Right" or "Wrong", choose "Doesn't say".· For each sentence, mark one letter (A, B or C) on your Answer Sheet. {{B}} Attending Interviews{{/B}} Good interviewers prepare their questions carefully in advance according to the candidate's application and CV. So candidates need to prepare just as carefully. Here are some useful tips on answering interview questions. What don't you like about your current position? No job is perfect; there's always something we don't like. Be honest but don't give a list of complaints. The important thing is talking positively about how you deal with problems at work. Where does your employer think you are today?Be honest. If you lie to your current employer, you'll lie to your next employer. Don't phone in sick in the day of the interview. Take a day's holiday but don't say why. What are your professional objectives? Think about these before the interview. Your objectives should be relevant to the job you have applied for and achievable. If the new job can't offer you everything you want, the interviewer will think that you probably won't stay with the company very long. What are your weaknesses? Be honest. No one is perfect. Think about this before the interview and choose your answer carefully. Talk about how you deal with a weakness; this is far more important than the weakness itself.

单选题 An unexpectedly robust German economic rebound has allowed the eurozone to escape recession, highlighting diverging fortunes across the region but also the country's scope for lifting the prospects of weaker rivals. German gross domestic product expanded 0.5 percent in the first quarter of the year compared with the previous three months, a much stronger pace of growth than economists had forecast. As a result, eurozone GDP remained flat—rather than contracting as had been widely expected—despite further falls across much of southern Europe and stagnation in France, the eurozone's second-largest economy. Although the eurozone debt crisis could yet deliver an economic "shock", Germany has emerged from the crises of the past few years as one of the world's best-performing advanced industrial economies. Unemployment is near record lows since reunification in 1990, while business confidence remains high. GDP in Europe's largest economy had contracted 0.2 percent in the final three months of last year, which largely explained a 0.3 percent fall in eurozone GDP, and raised fears of a technical recession, defined as two quarters of negative growth. But German weakness was only temporary. Eurozone divergences have complicated the task of the European Central Bank. Although interest rates are widely seen as too low for Germany, the rest of the bloc is not yet ready for any policy tightening. Jens Weidmann, Bundesbank president, is prepared to tolerate a German inflation rate above the eurozone average—but Germans' deep-seated worries about inflation trends limit the ECB's room for maneuver. German politicians, meanwhile, have come under international pressure to use fiscal policy to boost domestic consumer spending as way of further stimulating demand for imports. Some signs of a eurozone "rebalancing" have already emerged, however. The main driver of German growth in the first quarter was exports, according to the country's statistical office. That reflected German success in selling top of the range manufactured goods and services outside the eurozone—especially to China and Russia. But German domestic demand also picked up in the first quarter, which would have sucked in exports from other parts of eurozone and beyond. Germany is the most important export market for most European economies. Italy's exports to Germany in the first quarter were almost 11 percent higher than a year before, while Spanish exports were up more than 4 percent. "People think that German private consumption has to increase very strongly for Germany to act as a growth motor for the eurozone," said Andreas Rees, European economist at UniCredit in Munich. "But if you look at trade in the eurozone, consumer goods do not play a decisive role. It is capital and intermediate goods—parts of the manufacturing process—that matter." Still, with fiscal austerity programs starting to bite, the eurozone's economic outlook remains bleak. The latest data are unlikely to dispel worries about the effect of the region's re-escalating debt crisis or the ramifications of a possible Greek exit. "We haven't got through the crisis yet—there is a long road ahead of us," warned Markus Kerber, director of Germany's BDI industrial association.
