closely related as the lips and teeth, so to speakwhat you produce is for sale on the marketit would be impossible to succeed in selling a product without first investigating the marketin the international market, goods on sale coming from different countries and suppliers are always facing fierce competitionunder such circumstances, they will try everything possible to familiarize themselves with the market conditionsin making investigations, we ought to get information about what similar items the competitors are offering on the market, what prices they are quoting （报价）, what features their products have, who are their regular customers, etcthen, how can we obtain such information? there are many channels that we can make use of in doing this sort of workthe commercial counselors（顾问） offices of our embassies（大使馆） stationed（驻扎） abroad can help us in making market investigationsnowadays, our import and export copmpanies send their trade groups abroad every now and thenone of their purposes is to make market surveys on the spotcertainly, face-to-face talks with foreign businessmen are also important channels to get market informationthe chinese export commodities（货物） fairs and some other fairs of similar nature as well as visits of foreign businessmen provide us with such opportunitiesof course , there are some other ways of making market investigations59all the following are channels to get market information except _ato have commercial counselors office of our embassies stationed abroadbto promote the quality of our own productscto send trade groups abroad every now and thendto have face-to-face talks with foreign businessmen banimals seem to have the sense to eat when they are hungry and they do not eat more than their bodies needit has been shown that rats will, when given a choice over a period of time, prefer water with vitamins to water without vitamins even though there is no difference in taste or smell between the two water bottleswhen a fragrant（香的） flavor was added to the vitamin-enriched water, the rats did seem to prefer it and kept drinking it, even after the vitamins were switched to the clear waterin time, however, they broke the habit and went back to where the necessary vitamins werein a classic experiment, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a cafeteria（自助） feeding arrangement, with a wide selection of baby food before themthey were given whatever food they pointed to or appeared interested inwe are told that at first they showed some unusual eating patterns, but over a period of time they managed to select well-balanced dietso, in selecting food, rats and babies do seem to know and act on whats best for them. apparently, there is a kind of “body wisdom”, which humans soon losemost of us do not eat as wisely as we couldmany of our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced by long-established habitssome people eat fox, dog and blackbirds, while we eat cows and pigsso what people eat and how much they eat seems to be greatly influenced by what is going on around them62the author implied in the passage that most of us_aeat a balanced dietbchoose the food that is of nutritionchave the habits influenced by the surroundingsdlike to eat the food with a fragrant flavor63as far as their eating habits are concerned, babies and rats are similar in that_aboth have the wisdom to choose a balanced dietbboth prefer flavored food and drinkcboth have the same eating patternsdboth develop a taste for the same kinds of flavors chow men first learned to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mysteryall we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written downthose sounds, whether spoken, or written in letters we call wordsthe power of words, then, lies in their combinations the things they bring up before our mindswords become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increasesgreat writers are those who not only have great thoughts, but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and feelingsthis charming and telling use of words is what we call literary （文字的） styleabove all, the real poet is a master of wordshe can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tearswe should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and rude66the secret of a writers success is the use of words that _arecall to us the glad and sad events of our pastbare arranged in a creative waycare as beautiful as musicdagree with certain literary style67the author of the passage advises us _ato use words carefully and accurately bnot to use silly and rude wordscto become a slave of words dto use emotional words dif you want to stay young，sit down and have a good thinkthis is the research finding of a team of japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise, and as a result，we are ageing unnecessarily soonprofessor taijiu matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed downwith a team of partners at tokyo national university，he set about studying the brain volumes（体积）of a thousand people of different ages and various jobscomputer technology enabled the researchers to get exact measurement of the volume（容量）of the front and side sections of the brain，which relate to intellect（智能）and feelings，and determine the human characterthe back section of the brain，which controls functions like eating or breathing，does not connect with ageone can continue living without intellectual or feeling abilitiescontraction（收缩）of front and side parts as cells die off was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not obvious in some sixty and seventy year oldsmatsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple cure for the contraction normally connected with age using the brainthe findings show in general conditions that contraction of the brain begins soon among people in the country than in the townthose are at least at risk，says matsuzawa，who are lawyers，followed by university professors and doctorswhite collar workers doing regular work in government offices are, however，as likely to have shrink（收缩）as the farm workers，bus drivers and shop assistantsmatsuzawas findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinkingblood must flow through a circle properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells needthe best way to keep good blood movement is through using the brain， he says think hard and engage in conversationdont depend on pocket calculators69on what are their research findings based？ aa study of farmers in northern japanbtests performed on a thousand
