Marketing, on the other hand, focuses on the wants of consumers. It begins with first analyzing the preferences and demands of consumers and then producing goods that will satisfy them. This eye - on - the - consumer approach is known as the marketing concept, which simply means that instead of trying to sell whatever is easiest to produce or buy for resale, the makers and dealers first endeavor to find out what the consumer wants to buy and then go about making it available for purchase.
This concept does not imply that business is benevolent(慈善的) or that consumer satisfaction is given priority over profit in a company. There are always two sides to every business transaction -- the firm and the customer -- and each must be satisfied before trade occurs. Successful merchants and producers, however, recognize that the surest route to profit is through understanding and meeting to customers. A striking example of the importance of meeting to the consumer presented itself in mid - 1985, when Coca Cola changed the flavor of its drink. The non - acceptance of the new flavor by a significant part of the public brought about a prompt(果断的) restoration(恢复) of the Classic Coke, which was then marketed alongside new. King Customer ruled!

A.the practice of turning goods into money |
B.making goods available for purchase |
C.the customer- centered approach |
D.a form of persuasive salesmanship |

D.The preferences of the dealer. |
A.to sell the largest possible amount of goods |
B.to transport goods as efficiently as possible |
C.to dispose of these goods in large quantities |
D.to redesign these goods for large - scale production |
A.Traditional goods have a stronger appeal to the majority of people. |
B.It takes time for a new product to be accepted by the public. |
C.Consumers with conservative tastes are often difficult to please. |
D.Products must be designed to suit the taste of the consumer. |

Text messages have exploded in popularity in recent years, particularly among young people. The wireless industry"s trade association, CTIA, estimates(估计)more than 48billion text messages are sent each month.
The plan comes from the Warning Alert and Response Network Act, a 2006 federal law that requires improvements to the nation"s emergency alert system. The act tasked the Federal Communications Commission(FCC)with coming up with new ways to alert the public about emergencies.
"The ability to deliver accurate and timely warnings and alerts through cell phones and other mobile services is an important next step in our efforts to help ensure that the American public has the information they need to take action to protect themselves and their families before, and during, disasters and other emergencies," FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said following approval of the plan.
Participation in the alert system by carriers -telecommunications companies is voluntary, but it has received solid support from the wireless industry.
The program would be optional for cell phone users. They also may not be charged for receiving alerts.
There would be three different types of messages, according to the rules.
The first would be a national alert from the president, likely involving a terrorist attack or natural disaster. The second would involve "approaching threats," which could include natural disasters like hurricanes or storms or even university shootings. The third would be reserved for child abduction(绑架)emergencies, or so-called Amber Alerts.
The service could be in place by 2010.
小题1:What is the purpose of the approved plan?
A.To warn people of emergencies via messages. |
B.To popularize the use of cell phones. |
C.To estimate the monthly number of messages. |
D.To promote the wireless industry. |
A.CTIA B the Warning Alert and Response Network
C.FCC D.federal regulators
小题3:An alert message will NOT be sent if________.
A.a child loses his way |
B.a university shooting happens |
C.a natural disaster happens |
D.a terrorist attack occurs |
A.Cell Phone Alerts Protecting Students |
B.Cell Phone Alerts by Wireless Industry |
C.Cell Phone Alerts of National Disasters |

Some Parisians have started to travel to work in London.
In the 19th century, Charles Dickens compared the two cities, London and Paris, in A Tale of Two Cities. These days, it might be A tale of One City.
As there are few jobs at home over recent years, perhaps 250,000 Frenchmen moved across the channel. With an undersea tunnel, they could travel between cities in three hours. The European Union freed them from immigration and customs.
Paris, rich in beauty, is more stylish. But London feels more full of life, and more fun until the pubs shut down.
“For me, the difference is that London is real, alive,” said Trevor Wheeler, a financial expert.
Chantal Jaouen, a professional designer, agrees. “I am French, but I’ll stay in London,” she said.
There is, of course, the other view. Julie Lenoux is a student who moved to London two years ago. “I think people laugh more in Paris,” she said.
“Both cities have changed beyond recognition,” said Larry Collins, an author and sometimes a Londoner. Like most people who know both cities well, he finds the two now fit together comfortably. “I first fell in love with Paris in the 1950s. Things are so much more ordered, and life is better.”
But certainly not cheaper. In some parts of London, rents can be twice those on Avenue Foch in Paris.
Deciding between London and Paris requires a lifestyle choice. Like Daphne Benoit, a French journalism student with perfect English, many young people are happy to be close enough so they don’t have to choose. “I love Paris, my little neighborhood, the way I can walk around a centre, but life is too organized,” she said. “In London, you can be whoever you want. No one cares.”
小题1:It can be inferred that ___________.
A.Paris and London are the two biggest cities in the world |
B.In the 19th century, Dickens told his stories in the two cities |
C.London and Paris used to be separated |
D.Liverpool is a big city in France |
A.People feel it difficult to find a job in Paris. |
B.People can"t travel to London without a passport. |
C.Living in France is more expensive than in London. |
D.People can find any job in London. |
A.beyond one’s imagination |
B.so much that people don’t know them well again |
C.so little that people still know them well |
D.to people’s satisfaction |
A.People can do everything in London. |
B.People will feel lonely in London. |
C.People in London enjoy living in different ways. |
D.People in London enjoy a lawless life. |
Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers range from the “sensational” which feature crime and gossip(闲谈), to the “serious”, which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events. But with few exceptions, American newspapers try to entertain as well as give information, for they have to compete with the attraction of television.
Just as American newspapers satisfy all tastes, so do they also try to attract readers of all political parties. A few newspapers support extremist(极端主义的) groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers try to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are moderate(中立的). Many of these papers print columns by well-known journalists of different political and social views, in order to present a balanced picture.
As in other countries, American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once courageously exposed political scandals(丑闻) or crimes, for instance, the Watergate Affair(水门事件). The Newspapers drew the attention of the public to the horrors of the Vietnam War.

D.printing articles representing different political viewpoints |
A.the characteristics of American newspapers |
