That means its a slow timefor jewelers, and a good time for you to make a purchase. Whether youre out shopping for gold, or silver, here are a few things you need to know:What determines price? The purity of the metal is one of the elements that determines the price. Gold purity is indicated with a stamp of 10K, 14K, 18K, or 24K. And different countries have their own standards. For example, for a piece to be considered gold in the US, it must be at least 10K. In Britain and Canada: 9K. In Italy and France: l8K. Anything over l8K is really too soft for everyday wear. Thats why jewelry stores in the US sell mostly 14K. How much can you expect to pay? That depends on the weight of the metal and the gemstone(宝石). So keep that in mind, especially when buying online. To keep yourself from getting ripped off, ask yourself the following:How long has the company been around?What is its return policy? Is the jewelry featured on the website visible from all directions? Is the company transparent with the gram weights and the size of the gemstones?Yellow gold? White? Rose? Yes, its confusing, and while this is largely a personal decision, there are a few things to keep in mind. For starters. white or rose gold costs about l 0% more than yellow gold. If you want the “look for less”, consider gold plated jewelry. “Gold plated” and “gold overlay” mean the same thing and guarantee a thicker layer of finish than “vermeil” which is a flash finish that is thinner and less consistent, but more affordable. Buy vermeil finished pieces you want for a season or two just to follow the fashion. For pieces you want to wear for a lifetime, solid gold is best. What about sterling silver(标准纯银)? Sterling silver has been an alternative for white gold during the difficult economy, and while it used to be more popular with just the younger these days it has much more mass appeal. So much so that retailers are now offering fine gemstones with silver-something you used to see only with gold. Keep in mind that in the US. the sterling silver standard is 92.5% real silver. Dont buy it if there isnt a “925” stamp on it. And keep in mind that the lower price youre paying for silver means more maintenance. To keep silver jewelry from becoming less shiny, consider keeping a piece of chalk in your jewelry box. 56. According to the passage, the underlined phrase “getting ripped off” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_”. A. being charged B. being affected C. being cheated D. being attracted57. Which of the following is relatively good for only wearing a short time? A. A 14K necklace. B. A gold-plated ring. C. A gemstone necklace. D. A vermeil earring. 58. We can infer from the last paragraph that silver jewelry should be kept _ A. in a cold place B. in a dry place C. in a wet place D. in a hot place59. The author writes the passage mainly to _. A. encourage young people to buy fashionable jewelry B. tell people the best time to purchase gold and silver C. introduce the real value and popularity of gold and silver D. inform people of the factors to consider in buying jewelryBIt was Mothers Day morninglastyear and I was doing my shopping at our local supermarket with my five-year-old son, Tenyson. As we were leaving, we found that onlyminutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete. Her husband was with her, but there wasbloodeverywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock. Walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very upset about what had happened to the couple. He said to me, “Mum, its not much fun falling over in front of everyone.”At the front of the supermarket a charity(慈善) group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flowers to raise funds. Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower.“It will make her feel better,”he said. I was amazed that hed come up with such a sweet idea. So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we couldbuya flower for the lady to cheer her up. “Just take it,” she replied. “I cant take your money for such a wonderful gesture.”By now paramedics（救援人员）had arrived, and were attending the injured woman. As we walked up to her, my son becameintimidatedby all thebloodand medical equipment. He said he was just too scared to go up to her.Instead I gave the flower to thewomans husband and told him, “ My son wasvery upset for your wife and wanted to give her thisflower to make her feel better.”At that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you so much, you have a wonderful son. Happy Mothers Day to you.”The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower, tellingherwho it was from. Though badly hurt and shaken, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gavehima little smile.60. What dose the author intend to tell us?A. One can never be too careful. B. Actions speak louder than words.C. Love begins with a little smile.D. A small act of kindness brings a great joy.61. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The elderly woman was knocked down by Tenyson.B. Tenysons idea ofbuying a flower gainedhismothers support.C. Tenysons care for the elderly woman puzzled the flower seller.D. The elderlywomanwas moved to tears by Tenysons gesture.62. The underlined word “intimidated” in the fourth paragraph probably means “_”.A. astonished B. struck C. frightened D. excited63. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Flower Power B. Mothers DayC. An Accidental Injury D. An Embarrassing MomentCIn the more and more competitive service industry, it is no longer enough to promise customer satisfaction. Today, customer “delight” is what companies are trying to achieve in order to keep and increase market share.It is accepted in the marketing industry, and confirmed by a number of researches, that customers receiving good service will promote business by telling up to 12 other people; those treated badly will tell their tales of woe to up to 20 people. Interestingly, 80 percent of people who feel their complaints are handled fairly will stay loyal.New lineages for customer care have come when people can obtain goods and services through telephone call centers and the Internet. For example, many companies now have to invest(投资) a lot of money in information technology and staff training in order to cope with the “phone rage(愤怒)”caused by delays in answering calls ,being cut off in mid-conversation or left waiting for long periods.“Many people do not like talking to machines,” says Dr . Storey Senior Lecturer in Marketing at City University Business School, “Banks, for example, encourage staff at call centers to use customer data to establish instant and good relationship with them .The aim is to make the customer feel they know you and that you can trust the sort of comfortable feelings people have during face-to-face chats with their local branch manager.”Recommended ways of creating customer delight include: under-promising and over-delivering (saying that a repair will be come out within five hours, but getting it done within two ); replacing a faulty product immediately: throwing in a gift voucher(购物礼券) as an unexpected “thank you” to regular customers; and always returning calls, even when they are complaints.Aiming for customer delight is all very well, but if services do not reach the high level promised, disappointment or worse will be the result. This can be eased by offering an apology and an explanation of why the service did not meet usual standards with empathy (for example,” I know how you must feel”), and possible solutions (replacement, compensation or whatever suggests best meets the case).Airlines face some of the toughest challenges over customer care. Fierce competition has convinced them that delighting passengers is an important marketing tool, while there is great potential for customer anger over delays caused by weather, unclaimed luggage and technical problems.For British Airways staff, a winning telephone style is considered vital in handling the large volume of calls about bookings and flight times. They are trained to answer quickly, with their name, job title and a “we are here to help” attitude. The company has invested heavily in information technology to make sure that information is available instantly on screen. British Airways also says its customer care policies are applied within the company and staff are taught to regard each other as customers requiring the highest standards of service.Customer care is obviously here to stay and it would be a fool
