When people have enough money, these wants become demands.Now, it' s important for the ma

26、nagers in a company to understand what their customers want if they are going to develop effective marketing strategies (策略). There are various ways of doing this. One way at supermarkets, for example, is to interview customers while they're doing their shopping. They can be asked what they pref

27、er to buy and then the results of the research can be studied. This provides information on which to base future marketing strategies. It' s also quite normal for top managers from department stores to spend a day or two each month visiting stores and mixing freely with the public, as if they we

28、re ordinary customers, to get an idea of how customers act.Another way to get information from customers is to give them something. For example, some fast food restaurants give away tickets in magazines or on the street that permit customers to get part of their meal for nothing. As well as being a

29、good way of attracting customers into the restaurants to spend their money, it also allows the managers to get a feel for where to attract customers and which age-groups to attract.Another strategy used at some well-known parks such as Disneyland is for top managers to spend at least one day in thei

30、r work, touring the park dressed as Mickey Mouse or something like that. This provides them with a perfect chance to examine the scene and watch the customers without being noticed.56. The text is designed for _A. customers B. salesmen C. researchers D. managers57. Which of the following can help ma

31、nagers get useful information?A. Visiting customers themselves.B. Giving customers free food on the street.C. Visiting parks as ordinary customers.D. Asking customers questions at supermarkets.58. What does the word "this" underlined in the last sentence refer to?A. Visiting Disneyland. B.

32、 Wearing attractive clothes.C. Acting Mickey Mouse. D. Dressing up and walking around.59. The main idea of the text is _.A. how to find out customers' social needs B. how to develop marketing strategiesC. how to do market researchD. how to encourage customers to spend more moneyB Back those phot

33、os up The images were striking. Homes on the East Coast were washed away by Superstorm Sandy. People were in tears, picking up faded photographs, among their only remaining possessions. If that doesnt move you to get serious about safekeeping your lifetime of memories, what will? The digital age off

34、ers tools never imaginable beforeincluding one-click access to a lifetime of family photos. Here is a brochure on how to back up (存) your photos and save them online, where they can live forever and be accessible in good times and bad. Scanning The first step for those old photos is to scan them and

35、 save them to a digital format. Most printers come with scanners these days, so thats an easy but extremely time-consuming step. Storing the photos With your scans in place, import the photos into your computer, and back them up. You could make multiple copies of the disks and spread them to loved o

36、nes. Or you could choose external(外接的) hard drives or USB thumb drive, and add your photo and video collection from your computer. Online backupIf you need lots of space, look at a pure online backup service, Caronite. Caronite backs up 300 million files daily. Once you sign up, it starts to pick up

37、 everything you have on your hard drive. But photo collection on your computers main hard drive charges for $59 a year.Cloud StorageFor folks who dont need automatic backup, but instead want to take a more active approach, Dropbox, Google Drive and Microsofts SkyDrive let you store files online by y

38、ourself, share and instantly access them. All offer free options2GB of free storage for Dropbox, 5GB for Google and 7GB for SkyDrive. But if you want more, you need to pay. Bottom LineThe hard drive or flash drive is the cheapest and easiest. But drives can fail. Online services are more expensive,

39、but more secure. With more of us switching back and forth between our computers, such services are the best way to get access to our data from wherever we are. 60. Why does the author mention Superstorm Sandy?A. To tell the background of the scanning photos. B. To attract the readers interest in the

40、 backups.C. describe a severe natural disaster. D. To win the readers sympathy.61. What can we know from the passage? A. Scanning photos takes little time but costs a lot. B. Caronite charges for backing up photos from hard drive.C. Google Drive offers unlimited free photo storage on line.D. The har

41、d drive or flash drive is the cheapest and safest.62. Which of the following allows storing files automatically? A. Caronite. B. Dropbox. C. SkyDrive. D. Flash drive. 63. Whats the passage mainly about ? A. tell real stories about storage servicesB. introduce some of the storage servicesC. describe

42、the functions of storage servicesD. argue about the advantage of storage servicesCDrinking Water: Bottled or From the Tap?In America, people will include a case or two of bottled water when buying the week's groceries. When they are going to a soccer game or activity, it's common for them to

43、 grab a cold bottle of water out of the fridge with themIn fact, Americans buy more bottled water than any other nation in the world, about 29 billion bottles a yearBut all these plastic bottles use a lot of fossil fuels and pollute the environmentIn order to make all the 29 billion bottles, produce

44、rs use 17 million barrels of crude oil, which is enough to keep a million cars going for 12 monthsSo why don't people drink water straight from the tap? Some people have a strong belief that bottled water is better than water out of the tap, but that's not necessarily trueIn the US, the loca

45、l governments make sure water from the tap is safeThere is also growing concern that chemicals in the bottles themselves may go into the waterPeople love the convenience of bottled waterBut maybe if they realized the problems it causes, they would try drinking from a glass at home or carrying water

46、in a reusable steel container instead of plasticSome argue that plastic bottle recycling can helpRecycled bottles can be turned into items like carpeting or clothingUnfortunately, only one in six bottles is recycledThe rest make it to landfills（垃圾填埋場(chǎng)）or end as trash in other placesPlastic bottles ta

47、ke hundreds of years for them to disintegrateWater is important for you, so keep drinking itBut think about how often you use water bottles, and see if you can make a changeAnd yes, you can make a differenceRemember this: Recycling one plastic bottle can save enough energy to power a 60-watt light b

48、ulb for six hours64. Why do Americans prefer bottled water?ABottled water is better than water from the tapBBottled water is cheaper than water from the tapCBottled water contains beneficial chemicals in itDBottled water is more convenient than water from the tap65. What does the underlined word &qu

49、ot;disintegrate" in the fifth paragraph probably mean_ .ABe well recycled BBecome less poisonousCBreak into small pieces DGo down below a surface66. The author's intention of writing this passage is to recommend Americans_.Adrink more water from the tapBsend plastic bottles to landfillsCuse

50、 water bottles to power light bullsDbuy bottles filled with water from the tap D When an NBA player is young he thinks he can win the championship by himself. It is only later when he has aged and been through many battles that he learns an important lesson: there is no “I ” in “team”. There is no b

51、etter example of the value of teamwork than the Boston Celtics. Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett were all superstars on three different teams. Yet, none of them had any titles to show for it. Then, last season, they decided to sacrifice money and individual statistics to play together. Garne

52、tt and Allen joined Pierce on the Celtics and changed the NBA in the process. It started in simple ways. Garnett and Allen are two of the most intense athletes in the world. They treat every second of every practice like it is the NBA championship. If you want to play alongside them then you will ha

53、ve to do the same. So, the young guys on the Celtics started giving their full effort too. Pierce had been the star of the Celtics for many years. He used to shoot the ball many times a game. But with the addition of Allen and Garnett he shot less and focused on defense. His selflessness showed the

54、young players that doing what made the team better was the only thing that mattered. When the Celtics were winning and the game was almost over, Garnett, Pierce and Allen would come out of the game. But they wouldnt just sit on the bench. Instead, they stood and cheered and screamed for their teamma

55、tes. They wanted to support their friends and teammates. Now, the guys who don't play know they can still affect the game by cheering so they scream and cheer when Garnett, Allen and Pierce are playing. The Celtics have developed a strong relationship. They are more than just teammates. They are brothers. The result: the Boston Celtics won the championship and are considered the favorites to win the Eastern Conference championship again this year. There is a saying that goes, "A successful
