单选题 The Blanchards sent their child Maynell off to college with a check for $8,000 in tuition (学费) and thought that was the end of it. But soon they received a letter from the dean of studies (教务主任). "We are happy to announce we have started a remedial reading class for college {{U}}freshmen{{/U}} and advise that your daughter Maynell participate (参加) in it. If she doesn't, it is our opinion that Maynell will not be able to keep up with her studies. The cost will be $250. " "I thought Maynell could read," Blanchard said to his wife. "So did I. I think the problem is she can read, but she does not understand what she reads. If the college says she need remedial reading, she'd better get it." A few days later they got another letter from the dean. "The English Department has informed (通知) us that your daughter Maynell cannot write. They have suggested that she enroll in (报名参加) the remedial writing class. We started it two years ago when we discovered this was a common problem for most college students. If you agree that Maynell should get this special help, please send a check for $250." Blanchard was angry now. "How did she get in college if she can't write." Mrs.Blanchard was much more optimistic (乐观的) about it. "Maynell can write. She just can't write complete sentences." "She went to school for 12 years and she can't write a sentence?" Blanchard said, "They made an illiterate out of my daughter!" "Oh, I believe that's a bit strong. I'm sure, anyway, the college can help her learn to write. After all, it is an institution (机构) of higher learning."

单选题There are many different kinds of peaches (桃). One clear difference is the one between clingstone--fruit in which the flesh is stuck to the seed inside--and freestone --that in which the seed floats freely. Customers prefer freestone peaches because they don't want to struggle to get the flesh away from the seed. And that's how it goes in stone fruit land. Plant breeders (培育者) are trying all the time to improve the old favorites. Frequently, the changes are designed to meet the demands of the growers or packers. One very delicious family of peach varieties has nearly disappeared because it forms a small" beak" at the bottom of the fruit. That little point is likely to break during packing and shipping, opening the door to spoilage (腐烂). This is certainly not to say that the wants of customers are not important. In fact, they drive some of the most important changes. One thing customers like is red--lots of red. Peaches used to be prized for golden skin ; now people are buying red, regarding it as a sign of ripeness. But red has a hold on people. There's a story told by those in the stone fruit industry about a marketing experiment. A group of people were given two peaches : one a fairly tasteless red variety, the other a great-tasting gold. Sitting around, tasting and talking about the fruit, the group all agreed that the gold was a much better peach and that was the one they would buy. Then, on the way out the door, they were offered boxes of peaches as a thank-you gift. One held the preferred golden fruit, the other the red. To a person, they picked the red fruit to take home. Red sells.
