three year trial from 2012.it is hoped that the decision made by the carnival committee will protect its future and increase donations, which have been falling, to local charities. the revised dates are set for saturday, 3 november 2012, saturday, 2 november 2013 and saturday 1 november 2014.other carnivals in somerset, like north petherton, which are held on a saturday, wont be affected by the

burnham, glastonbury, shepton mallet, wells and weston.it is not the first time that the carnival has changed dates up until 2001 bridgwater carnival took place on a thursday, but nine years ago

other carnivals. crowds at bridgwater carnival have remained pretty steady, but the actual amount of money that we have been collecting has gone down which is a concern and fundraising is getting more difficult. were hoping that by changing this to a saturday for this trial period, we can change that situation.” in 2014, a final decision will be made. it remains to be seen whether changing the

obtained his transportation at that unusual hour by promising an extra fare. while the youth stood on the landing-place searching in his pockets for money, the ferryman lifted a lantern, by the aid of which, together with the newly risen moon, he took a very accurate survey of the strangers figure. he was a young man of barely eighteen years, evidently country bred（长大的）, and now, as it seemed, on his first visit to town. he was wearing a rough gray coat, which was in good shape, but which had seen many winters before this one. the garments under his coat were well constructed of leather, and fitted tightly to a pair of muscular legs; his stockings of blue yarn must have been the work of a mother or sister, and on his head was a three-cornered hat, which in its better days had sheltered the grayer head of the lads father. in his left hand was a walking stick, and his equipment was completed by a leather bag not so abundantly stocked as to inconvenience the strong shoulders on which it hung. brown, curly hair, well-shaped-features, bright, cheerful eyes were natures gifts, and worth all that art could have done for his adornment(装饰).the youth, whose name was robin, paid the boatman, and then walked forward into the town with a light step, as if he had not already traveled more than thirty miles that day. as he walked, he surveyed his surroundings as eagerly as if he were entering london or madrid, instead of the little metropolis（都市）of a new england colony.66. what time of the year was it in this story?a. fall. b. winter. c. summer. d. spring.67. the boatman was willing to take robin across the river because _.a. he was going to row across the river anyway b. he saw that robin was young and richc. he felt sorry for him because robin looked poor d. he would give extra money68. the stockings that robin wore were obviously _.a. well worn b. very expensive c. much too big d. handmade 69. from the text we can learn that robin had traveled _.a. from london b. from madridc. over thirty miles d. from a nearby city 70. at what time of day did robin cross the river?a. late afternoon b. night. c. midday. d. morning. din 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, and 80 percent of the people who feel their complaints are handled fairly will stay loyal. new challenges 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 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 carried 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 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 fairness 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
