demands.now, its important for the managers 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 (超市), for example, is to interview (采访) customers while theyre doing their shopping. they can be asked what they prefer to buy and then the results of the research can be studied. this provides information on which to base future marketing strategies. its 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 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 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 their work, touting 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.64. the text is designed for _a. mangers b. salesmen c. researchers d. customers65. which of the following can help managers 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.66. what does the word this underlined in the last sentence refer to?a. visiting disneyland. b. wearing attractive clothes.c. acting mickey mouse. d. dressing up and walking around.67. the main idea of the text is _.a. how to do market research b. how to develop marketing strategiesc. how to find out customers social needsd. how to encourage customers to spend more money（二）完形填空ban the band (乐队)？every year, our school has a dance for all the

went to see the school headmaster who agreed to give the 44 some more thought. and he suggested that one _45 for having a band was to increase the price of each ticket from $5 to $10. angela had to 46

named about 1.8 million living species (物种), and thats just a small number of what probably exists on earth. with so many plants, animals, and other living things covering the planet, it can be tough to figure out what type of grass is growing by the roadside or what kind of herd just flew by.a soon-to-be-started web site might help. an international team of researchers has announced the creation of web-based encyclopedia (百科全书) of life (eol). the project aims to list every species on earth in a single, easy-to-use reference guide.to get the encyclopedia started, the creators will use information from scientific databases (数据库) that already exist. and eventually, in special sections of the site, non-scientists with specialized knowledge will come to help. bird-watchers, for example, will be able to input what birds theyve seen and where. to make sure encyclopedia is accurate, scientists will review much of the information added to it. as the eol develops, you might find it useful for school projects. the site will feature (以为特色) special pages for kids who are studying ecosystems in their neighbourhoods. another convenient feature of the eol is that youll be able to click the level of detail you want to match your interests, age and knowledge.it now takes years for scientists to collect all the data they need to describe and analyze species. the creators of the encyclopedia of life hope that their new tool will speed up that process.60. the web based eol aims to _. a. find out what covers the earthb. list all living things on earth c. work out the number of
