dacbb阅读理解【1】in 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 or 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, 80 percent of people who feel their complaints are handled fairly will stay loyal new lunges 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”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 calmed out within five hours ,but getting it done within two );replacing a faulty product immediately : throwing in a gift voucher(购物礼卷)as an unexpected “thank you” to rental 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 fames 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 foolish company that used slogans such as we do as we please”. on the other hand, the more customers are promised, the greater the risk of disappointment.( ) 1. we can learn from paragraph 2 that .a. complaining customers are hard to satisfyb. unsatisfied customers receive better servicec. satisfied customers catch more attention d. well-treated customers promote business( ) 2. the writer mentions “phone rage”(paragraph 3) to show that .a. customers often use phones to express their angerb. people still prefer to buy goods onlinec. customer care becomes more attentiond. customers rely on their phones to obtain services ( ) 3. what does the writer recommend to create delight?a. calling customers regularly b. giving a “thank you” note.c. delivering a quicker service d. promising more gifts.( ) 4. if a manager should show his empathy (paragraph6), what would he probably say?a. “i know how upset you must be.” b. “i appreciate your understanding.”c. “im sorry for the delay.” d. “i know its our fault.”( ) 5. customer delight is important for airlines because .a. their telephone style remains unchanged b. they are more likely to meet with complaintsc. the services cost them a lot of moneyd. the policies can be applied to their staff ( ) 6. which of the following is conveyed in this article?a. face-to-face service creates comfortable feelings among customers.b. companies that promise more will naturally attract more customers.c. a company should promise less but do more in a competitive market.d. customer delight is more important for airlines than for banks.【参考答案】16、dccabc阅读理解【2】why laughter mattersalthough most people believe that laughter is one of the natures great treatments for a whole range of mental and physical diseases, it is still a serious scientific subject that researchers are trying to figure out.“laughter above all else is a social thing，” says baltimore neuroscientist, robert provine, who has studied laughter for decades. “all laughter groups laugh hahaha basically the same way. whether you speak mandarin, french or english, everyone will understand laughter. there is a pattern generator(发生器) in our brain that produces this sound.”laughing is our first way of communicating. babies laugh long before they speak. no one teaches them how to laugh. they just do. people may laugh at a prank(恶作剧) on april fools day. but surprisingly, only 10 to 15 percent of laughter is the result of someone making a joke. laughter is mostly about social responses rather than to a joke. deaf people laugh without hearing and people on cell phones laugh without seeing, showing that laughter isnt dependent on single sense but on social interactions.and laughter is not just a thing of people. chimps tickle(挠痒) each other and even laugh when another chimp pretends to tickle them.jaak panksepp, a bowling green university psychology professor, studies rats that laugh when he tickles them. it turns out rats love to be tickledthey return again and again to the hands of researchers tickling them.by studying rats, scientists can figure out whats going on in the brain during laughter. northwestern university biomedical engineering professor, jeffrey burgdorf has found that laughter in rats produces a chemical that acts as an antidepressant(抗抑郁药). he thinks the same thing probably happens in humans, too. this would give doctors a new chemical target to develop drugs that can fight depression.even so, laughter itself has not been proved to be the best medicine, experts say. margaret stuber, a professor at university of california, studied whether laugher helped patients. she found that distraction(分心) and mood improvement helped, but she could not find a benefit of laughter alone.“no study has shown that laughter produces a direct health benefit，” provine said, largely because its hard to separate laughter from just feeling good. but he thinks it doesnt really matter, “isnt the fact that laughter feels good when you do it enough？”1the most important finding of robert provines research is that _alaughter makes a person feel goodblaughter depends on different sensesclaughter is a quality people are born withdlaughter
