Many businesses and programs have failed because the importance of these steps was underestimated. The market research, analysis, and plan should be conducted by a qualified company employee or departmental official or by an experienced third party. The most important point is that it be finished before a decision is made to proceed.Investors can provide the financing. The principals can invest time, money, and energy. Facilities can be built and equipped and personnel hired and trained. Yet it can all be lost if there isnt a market to support the product.Repeated business failures, which can be attributed to a lack of market research and planning, occurred in many of the shopping centers in the authors home city of San Jose, California. Specialty shops have opened and closed on a regular basis. Some failures were undoubtedly due to poor management, others to undercapitalization or poor economic conditions. But many were caused by an inadequate understanding of the market being served.Many of the products carried by the specialty stores were also offered by large department or discount stores, often located in the same shopping centre. The department and discount stores frequently had a distinct price advantage. For the specialty shops, the problem was a lack of competitive knowledge, which only comes from market analysis and planning.Patently ridiculous examples of poor market planning are locating a Cadillac dealership in the centre of a poor district and opening a Japanese specialty food store in a predominantly Italian neighborhood. But these extreme examples highlight the essential lesson: the importance of knowing the market to be served.21. According to the first paragraph, the failure of many businesses lies in _. A. unsuccessful decisions-making B. shortage of adequate investment C. poor management of the business D. insufficient scientific market study22. Whether a business can survive or not mainly depends on the fact that _. A. there is enough capital to run the company B. customers are willing to buy its products C. the personnel are well trained and energetic D. it is fully equipped with advanced facilities23. Why does the author give the example of the failure of many specialty shops in his home city? A. To demonstrate and analyze the causes of the failure of these shops. B. To stress the importance of knowledge about the target market. C. To warn of the danger of running specialty shops. D. To show the high frequency of business failure.24. Specialty shops often fail in competing with large department stores in the same district mainly because _. A. their products are more expensive B. their services are often undesirable C. they fail to adjust to the right market D. they dont offer a large variety of goods25. Which of the following could be the best title of the passage? A. Market Planning an Essential Requirement B. Major Causes of Business Failures C. Specialty Shops vs Large Department Stores D. Winning Over Your CustomersB（华南理工2009）Most people will answer a ringing phone. Usually you dont know who is phoning or how urgent their business is, so a ringing phone is difficult to ignore. In one experiment, a researcher wrote down the numbers of several public phones in stations and airports. Then he called the numbers. Someone nearly always answered. When he asked why, people usually said, “Because it rang.” A few years ago in New Jersey, a man with a gun killed 13 people. Armed police surrounded his house but he refused to come out. A reporter found out the phone number of the house and called. The man put down his rifle and answered the phone. “What do you want?” he said, “Im really busy right now.” Imagine youre at work and the phone is ringing in someone elses office. Do you answer it or not? In one survey on telephone use, 51% of participants told researchers that they did. We cant ignore the phone and for that reason, it forces its way into our lives. It interrupts what we are doing and on top of that, the caller is often someone we dont really want to talk to. However, in the survey, 58% said they never took the phone off the hook, and 67% didnt mind if someone called during a television program. For 44% it wasnt a problem if someone rang during a meal, while only 28% were annoyed or upset. If someone phoned in the middle of the night, 40% told researchers that they got nervous or frightened, while around 30% got angry.Of course, when someone is really annoying, you can choose to hang up on them. This is in fact one of the rudest things you can do on the phone, but 79% said they were prepared to do it in some cases. Only 6% told researchers they never hung up on people.41.

The gunman answered the phone because _.A. he decided not to give up his resistance to the policeB. he tended to answer a ringing phoneC. he wanted to tell the reporter that he was too busy to offer any informationD. he intended to be friendly with the media43.According to Para. 3, most people _ when they were doing their work or watching television?A. minded the ringing of the phone B. couldnt ignore the phoneC. refused to answer the phone in someone elses office D. kept the phone ringing44.
