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

26、s 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 theyre doing their shopping. They can be asked what they prefer to buy

27、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 were ordinary cus

28、tomers, 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 good way of att

29、racting 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 their work, touring

30、 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.

33、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 offers tools never imaginable befor

34、eincluding 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 save them to a digital format.

35、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 ones. Or you could choose externa

36、l(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 everything you have on your har

37、d 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 yourself, share and instantly acc

38、ess 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, but more secure. With more of us

39、 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.

41、eapest 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 ?

42、sD. 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 weeks groceries. When they are going to a soccer game or activity, its common for them to grab a cold bottle of water out of the fr

43、idge 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, producers use 17 million barrels of crude oil, wh

44、ich is enough to keep a million cars going for 12 monthsSo why dont 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 thats not necessarily trueIn the US, the local governments make sure water from the tap is safeTh

45、ere 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 in a reusable steel container instead of plasticSome

46、 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（垃圾填埋场）or end as trash in other placesPlastic bottles take hundreds of years for them to disintegrateWater i

47、s 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 bulb for six hours64. Why do Americans prefer bottled

48、 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.

50、m 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 better example of the value of teamwork than the Boston Celtics. Paul

51、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. Garnett and Allen joined Pierce on the Celtics and changed the NBA in the

52、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 have to do the same. So, the young guys on the Celtics started giving t

53、heir 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 young players that doing what made the team better was the only thing

54、 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 teammates. They wanted to support their friends and teammates. Now, the guy

55、s who dont 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 con

56、sidered the favorites to win the Eastern Conference championship again this year. There is a saying that goes, A successful team beats with one heart. If that is the case, the Celtics may have the biggest heart in the NBA. 67. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. The stories of three famous b

57、asketball superstars.B. A famous basketball team named the Boston Celtics.C. The importance of teamwork among teammates.D. Matches between the Boston Celtics and other teams.68. What does this sentence “there is no I in team.” mean in Paragraph 1? A. I will be missing once I am on the court.B. The c

58、ooperation of the teammates is more important than the individual.C. I work so hard in a team that I will forget who I amD. Surrounded by other players, I dont seem to exist.69. Which of the following is NOT true about Pierces recent performance? A. He became an even better shooter with others help.

59、B. He focused much more attention on defense.C. He created more chances for teammates.D. He stood and cheered for his teammates70. Which of the following didnt contribute to the success of the Boston Celtics? A. The whole team has become devoted to each and every stage of the game. B. The cooperatio

62、st as well.Love unconditionally.

But even in this world we see many examples of unconditional love, for example the

63、 love a mother gives to her child and the love between two life partners. To love unconditionally, you will have to learn to sacrifice(牺牲) yourself and your desires and also realize that someone may have a different way of showing his or her love for you. 74 Realize it can be lost.

64、at you can lose the one you love, then you have a greater appreciation of what you have. 75 Dont make an idol of the person you love.
