举一反三
Long long ago, there was an old merchant who had three sons. “To which one shall I leave my fortune?” he wondered. “It must be to the cleverest son. But which one is the cleverest?”
He called his three sons to him. “Here is some money,” he told them, “you must each take one coin to buy something that will fill this room. Anyone who can do this shall have my fortune.”
“It is a big room,” said the eldest son.
“One coin will not buy very much,” said the second son.
But the youngest son said nothing. He stood and thought, and then he smiled, “Come, brothers,” he said, “let us go to the market.”
The eldest son bought straw with his coin. But one coin bought only a bit of straw. Even when he had spread it as much as he could, the straw covered only a corner of the room.
The second son bought sand with his coin. But one coin bought only a bit of sand. Even when he had spread it as much as he could, the sand covered only half of the floor.
“What did you buy?” the eldest son angrily asked the youngest son. “You don"t have any straw.”
“Yes, what did you buy?” the second son asked angrily. “You don"t have any sand.”
“I bought this,” said the youngest son.
“A candle!” cried his brothers. “What good is a candle?”
“Watch”, said the youngest son.
He lit the candle, and all at once the room was filled from wall to wall, from ceiling to floor. It was filled with light!
“Although you are the youngest, you are indeed the cleverest of my sons,” the old merchant said.
And that is how, the old merchant left his fortune to his youngest son, the one who could fill a room with light.

There was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care. To water his flowers, he used two buckers. One was a shiny and new bucket. The other was a very old and dilapidated one, which had seen many years of service, but was now past its best.
Every morning, the gardener would fill up the two buckets. Then he would carry them along the path, one on each side, to the flowerbeds. The new bucket was very proud of itself. It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled (溢出). The old bucket felt very ashamed because of its holes: before it reached the flowerbeds, much water had leaked along the path.
Sometimes the new bucket would say, “See how capable I am! How good it is that the gardener has me to water the flowers every day! I don"t know why he still bothers with you. What a waste of space you are!”
And all that the old bucket could say was, “I know I’m not very useful, but I can only do my best. I’m happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me, at least.”
One day, the gardener heard that kind or conversation. After watering the flowers as usual, he said, “You both have done your work very well. Now I am going to carry you back. I want you to look carefully along the path.”
Then the two buckets did so. All along the path, they noticed, on the side where the new bucket was carried, there was just bare (光秃秃的)earth; on the other side where the old bucket was carried, there was a joyous row of wild flowers, leading all the way to the garden.
小题1:What does the underlined word “dilapidated” probably mean?
A.DirtyB.Dark
C.Worn-outD.Plain-looking.
小题2:What was the old bucket ashamed of?
A.His past.B.His aging.
C.His manner.D.His leaking.
小题3:The new bucket made conversations with the old one mainly to         
A.laugh at the old one
B.take pity on the old one
C.show off its beautiful looks
D.praise the gardener’s kindness
小题4:Why was the old bucket still kept by the gardener?
A.Because it was used to keep a balance
B.Because it stayed in its best condition
C.Because it was taken as a treasure
D.Because it had its own function

Everyone in business has been told that success is all about attracting and retaining (留住) customers. It sounds simple and achievable. But,     , words of wisdom are soon forgotten. Once companies have attracted customers they often   
  the second half of the story. In the excitement of beating off the competition, negotiating prices, securing orders, and delivering the product, managers tend to become carried away. They forget what they regard as the boring side of business— 
      that the customer remains a customer.
    to concentrate on retaining as well as attracting customers costs business huge amounts of money annually. It has been estimated that the average company loses between 10 and 30 per cent of its customers every years. In constantly changing     , this is not surprising. What is surprising is the fact that few companies have any idea how many customers they have lost.
Only now are organizations beginning to wake up to those lost opportunities and calculate the     
implications. Cutting down the number of customers a company loses can make a big   
  in its performance. Research in the US found that a five per cent decrease in the number of defecting (流失的) customers led to      increases of between 25 and 85 per cent.
In the US, Domino’s Pizza estimates that a regular customer is worth more than $5,000 over ten years. A customer who receives a poor quality product or service on their first visit and      never returns, is losing the company thousands of dollars in   
  profits (more if you consider how many people they are likely to tell about their bad experience).
The logic behind cultivating customer      is impossible to deny. “In practice most companies’ marketing effort is focused on getting customers, with little attention paid to      them”, says Adrian Payne of Cornfield University’ School of Management. “Research suggests that there is a close relationship between retaining customers and making profits.      customers tend to buy more, are predictable and usually cost less to service than new customers. Furthermore, they tend to be less price     , and may provide free word-of-mouth advertising. Retaining customers also makes it   
    for competitors to enter a market or increase their share of a market.
