Part III Comprehensive Exercises

1．Reading Comprehension．

One of the odd things about some business organizations is that they spend so much money to lure new customers and spend so little to keep them after they've been landed．It just doesn't make sense．Taking customers for granted is routine in some larger organizations，where mere size generates an attitude of indifference．

Loyal customers are an organization's only protection against bankruptcy，and losing them because of neglect or indifference is downright sinful．Not only do satisfied customers continue to fatten the till，they often encourage others to buy．This is advertising that doesn't cost a penny．And although there are always problems in giving good service to customers，maintaining their patronage isn't all that difficult．It's a matter of attitude，of believing that everyone who buys from you is entitled to the best treatment you can deliver．Plus giving just a little more than you have to．

We said there are always problems in giving good service to customers．The reason，of course，is that no organization is perfect，and there's many a slip：unreasonable delays in filling orders，shipping the wrong merchandise， failing to answer letters promptly，and so on．

Sometimes these errors or failures can't be helped．For example，if you can't get parts because of material shortages or a transportation strike，customers may be denied the goods they've ordered．And not infrequently the customer is to blame，for example，failing to clearly identify the article or service required．

Yet no matter who is at fault，customers whom you value highly should generally be given the benefit of any doubt．Note that we said“customers whom you value highly”．The old adage（格言）that all customers should be treated alike is a myth．Customers who repeatedly place large orders and pay for them will naturally get more attention than those who buy infrequently and have to be badgered to pay what they owe．However，you have to make the assumption that all customers are good unless proved otherwise．

1）The main idea of the passage is best expressed by which of the following？

A）Business organizations should not spend so much money to attract new customers．

B）Maintaining customers'patronage is the most important to business organizations．

C）Customers are kings．

D）Organizations should pay more attention to the benefit of their customers．

2）Which of the following conclusions can be drawn from the second paragraph？

A）Customers should always be well serviced．

B）Without loyal customers an organization might go bankrupt．

C）Companies can employ customers to advertise their products．

D）It is difficult for large organizations to provide their customers with good service．

3）The author might probably disaGREe with which of the following statements？

A）Some errors and failures are unavoidable．

B）Both an organization and their customers are responsible for certain errors．

C）An attitude of indifference towards their customers might result in a heavy loss of profit．

D）Only regular customers deserve good treatment．

4）What does the author imply in the sentence“The old adage that all customers should betreated alike is a myth．”？

A）It's not real that customers should be treated equal．

B）It's not true that all customers are treated equal．

C）Customers received equal treatment in the past．

D）It's an old story that customers were treated equal．

5）The word“identify”in the fourth paragraph is the same as         ．

A）notice B）distinguish

C）describe D）recognize

2．Short Answer Questions．

Man senses that maybe，a solar revolution is brewing．The photovoltaic，or solar electric，cell could turn out to be the joker in the global energy deck，the breakthrough that could help disperse the gloom from our energy horizon．One must be cautious．It is easy to be over enthusiastic about these safe，nonpolluting energy producers．But in solar circles optimism runs high that we will be creating electricity from the sun sooner rather than later．

Solar cells work．They were developed to help power the United States'space program and have performed impressively．But they have been extremely expensive，and while cost dropped sharply，the price of producing electricity with photovoltaic is still more than ten times as high as average utility rates ．Many industrial and utility officials doubt it can be made cheaply enough to have much impact in this decade．

On the other hand，high-priced oil is changing the economics of energy production dramatically．In the United States，Europe，and Japan solar firms are pressing hard on photo- voltaic，using technology similar to the kind that made the mini-computer available to every man．

Affordable photovoltaic could significantly alter the current energy distribution network，particularly as cheaper batteries become available that scan store the excess electricity generated on sunny days．These batteries，charged by solar cells or by wind，could make each home its own electrical generator and filling station．Techniques are already being perfected that cast polycrystalline silicon from molds，draw silicon into thin ribbons，and grow thin films from a variety of materials．These ribbons，films，and cast materials require less time and promise to be more economical．

Questions：

1）What does the word“photovoltaic”mean in the passage？

2）The phrase“．．．disperse the gloom from our energy horizon”can be replaced by         ．

3）In the second paragraph，what does the writer mention to show the main obstacle in producing solar cell？

4）What is the topic of the third paragraph？

5）Is it in the near future that solar power is worldwide？
