18、age.When a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to the manufacturers claim, the first step is to present the warranty ( 保单 ), or any other records which might help, at the store of purchase.

19、ver, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction.A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the higher up the consumer takes his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled.

20、In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumers favor, assuming he or she has a just claim.Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.Complaining is usually most effective

21、 when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, The le

22、ft speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear is better than This stereo does not work.The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible. But i

23、f a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumers rights.31.When a consumer finds that his or her in it, the fi

28、th complaints from customers正确答案：BPassage Two.Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.If you ask people to name one person who had the greatest effect on the English language, you will get answers like Shakespeare, Samuel Johnson and Webster but none of these men had any effect at all

29、compared with a man whodidnt even speak English William the Conqueror.Before 1066, in the land we now call Great Britain lived people belonging to two major language groups. In the west -central region lived the Welsh, who spoke a Celtic language, and in north lived the Scots, whose language, though

30、 not the same as Welsh, was also Celtic. In the rest of the country lived the Saxons, actually a mixture of Anglos-Saxons,and other Germanic and Nordic peoples, who spoke what we call Anglo-Saxon (or Old English), a Germanic Language. If this state of affairs had lasted, English today would be close

31、 to German.But this state of affairs did not last. In 1066 the Normans led by William defeated the Saxons and began their rule over England. For about a century, French became the official language of England while Old English became the language of peasants. As a result, English words of politics a

32、nd the law come from French rather than German. In some cases, modern English even shows a distinction between upper-class French and lower-class Anglo-Saxon in its words. We even have different words for some foods, meat in particular, depending on whether it is still out in fields or at home ready

33、 to be cooked, which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing the farming, while the upper -class Normans were doing most of the eating.When Americans visit Europe for the first time, they usually find Germany more foreign than France because the German they see on signs and advertisements

34、seems much more different from English than French does. Few realize that the English language is actually Germanic in its beginning and that the French influences are all the result of one mans ambition.36.According to the passage, _ had the great effect on the Englishlanguage.A) ShakespeareB) Samu
