English speakers enjoy creating new words. In fact, a majority of words are traceable and each of them may have an interesting story.However, no one will really care where a word comes from because it makes little difference in using them in our dally life. Did you ever feel confused about why hamburgers are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham?About a hundred years ago, some men went to American from Europe, coming from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They didn't know how to use English properly. Seen them eating round pieces of beef and asked what it was, the Germans didn't understand the questions exactly, they answered: “we come from Hamburg. “One of the Americans was an owner of a restaurant and got an idea. He cooked some round pieces of bread with beef and began selling them. Such bread came to be called “hamburgers”. Today, hamburgers are welcomed by lots of people coming from different nationalities.36.

Being a good youth, one should have those factors: the basic one is health. A healthy body is a kind of priceless treasure. One can do nothing without it. Secondly, we should pay essential attention to our moral character. We should be always willing to help those in trouble without any complaints. Moreover, we should care more about the people around us. Thirdly, cooperation and communication also play an important role in being a good youth. No one can live alone without any friends. And nobody can work out every problem without help of partners. So the youth should and must learn how to live and work well with others, including those people you don't like to cooperate or communicate with. The last but not the least, patriotism, meaning a love of one's country, is the one we should never forget. People always misunderstand the word “patriots” by thinking it only refers to those fighters who fight for their country. As a matter of fact, a patriot will do the things his country asks him to do. So being a youth is one thing, being a good one really needs to take every effort to make yourself to be.41.

In most cases, whatever you believe is what you will become. If you believe that you are a loser, that you never get a breakthrough in life, these things will be your reality. Believe that you are unlimited, that you can do anything you hope to do, and when you do, your accomplishments will know no bounds. You control your beliefs, and that is how you finally control your life.Many of our beliefs come from our environment, the world we live in on a daily basis. If your environment is limiting your beliefs, then work very hard on changing it. If you are constantly around people who are negative and limiting, find other people to hang out with and get around positive, successful people.Beliefs also come from past experiences. That is why it is so important to experience success on a regular basis. Set small achievable goals, and then try your best to reach them. When you start to experience success, then you start to believe in success, and that leads to more and bigger successes.Beliefs come from knowledge. The more you learn, the more things you will know to be possible. Always take the advantage of opportunities to learn something new. It will bring new possibilities into your beliefs and your life.Most importantly, you can develop new beliefs by setting and visualizing (设想) goals for your life. Define your goals clearly. Then in your mind, see yourself achieving them in all of their sensory details. The beliefs formed in this way will lead you to their reality.41. In the author’s opinion, your life depends on .A) your beliefs B) your environment where you liveC) your experience D) your knowledge and opportunities42. Which of the following statement is true?A) You should stick to your own beliefs without changingB) You should try your best to help your negative people around you.C) You should try to achieve small success to believe in success first.D) The more knowledge you learn, the more you will control your life.43. According to the passage, what is the most important about your beliefs?A) To make efforts to achieve them.B) To imagine your success with your senses.C) To try to experience success regularly.D) To learn as much knowledge as possible.44. A) Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?(①----⑤stand for ―Paragraph 1 ----Paragraph 5‖)A) B) C) D)①①①①↙↘↙↓↘/∣∣\↙∣②③②③④↙↓↓↘②∣↘↙↘↓↙②③④⑤↓↓④⑤③④↓↘↙⑤⑤Passage TwoQuestions 45 to 48 are based on the following passage.When someone has deeply heart you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible – and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health. Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better appetite and better sleep patterns. ―It can help save on the wear and tear on our system,‖ says Dr. Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good.So when someone has hurt you, calm yourself first. Take a couple of breaths and think something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love. Don’t wait for apology. ―Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing.‖ says Dr. Luskin. ―They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. So if you want people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time.‖ Keep in mind that forgiveness does necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who upset you.

If this action does not work, there are various means that may be used to gain satisfaction.A simple and common method is to complain directly to the store manager. Generally, the ―higher up‖ the consumer takes his complaint, the faster he can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is uaually settled in the consumer’s favor, if he has a just claim.Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when theconsumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item. If this cannot be done, he will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements.The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely as firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go a step further. He can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting the consumer’s rights.49. When a consumer finds that his purchase has a fault in it, the first thing he should do is to.A) threaten to take the matter to courtB) complain personal to the managerC) show some written proof of the purchase to the storeD) write a firm letter of complaint to the store of purchase50. If a consumer wants a quick settlement of his problem, it is better to complain to .A) the manufacturer B) the store managerC) a shop assistant D) a public organization51. Suppose a consumer finds fault in his tape recorder, what should he say to the store manager?A) The tape recorder is not so good as beforeB) The sound coming out of the right speaker is unclear.C) This is the warranty, you must change a new one for me.D) This tape recorder doesn’t work..52. The most effective complaint can be made by .A) asking politely to change the itemB) showing the faulty item to the manufacturerC) explaining exactly what is wrong with the itemD) saying firmly that the item is of poor quality53. The passage tells us how to .A) make an effective complaint about a faulty itemB) avoid buying a faulty itemC) deal with complaints from customers.D) settle a consumer’s complaint about a faulty itemSection B Short Answer Questions (4 points, 1 point each)March 1st, 2011Dear Mr. Doe,Thank you for coming in for an interview last Friday.

There are 3 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 41 to 44 are based on the following passage.When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible —and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health. Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better appetite and better sleep patterns. “It can help save on the wear and tear on our system”, says Dr. Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good.So when someone has hurt you, calm yourself first. Take a couple of breaths and think of some thing that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love. Don’t w ait for an apology. “Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing,” saysDr. Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time”. Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who upset you. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person s perspective(视角). Y ou may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance(无知), fear—even love. To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to yourself from that person’s point of view.41. The passage is mainly written to explain _______.A) how to keep yourself from being hurtB) how to stay mentally healthyC) how and when to remain calmD) why and how to pardon others42. Research has shown that forgiveness allows people___________.A) feel more energeticB) enjoy more foodC) seep in better waysD) all of the above43. According to the passage, what is the right way to calm down after being hurt?A) Try to figure out why you get hurt.B) Write a letter to the person who hurt you.C) Think about pleasant things and forget about the hurt.D) Persuade yourself to accept what others have done to you.44. Dr. Luskin advises us not to wait for an apology after being hurt because ______.A) we are not patient enoughB) people seldom want to apologizeC) we’d feel worse accepting others’ apologyD) people don’t mean it when they apologizePassage TwoQuestions 45 to 48 are based on the following passages.Your beliefs are very powerful and have the power to create or to destroy your life. In most cases, whatever you believe is what you will become. If you believe that you are loser, that you never get a breakthrough in life, these things will be your reality. Believe that you are unlimited, that you can do anything you hope to do, and when you do, your accomplishments will know no bounds. You control your beliefs, and that is how you finally control your life.Many of our beliefs come from our environment, the world we live in on a daily basis. If your environment is limiting your beliefs, then work very hard on changing it. If you are constantly around people who are negative and limiting, find other people to hang out with. and get around positive, successful people.Beliefs also come from past experiences. That is why it is so important to experience success on a regular basis. Set small, achievable goals, and then try your best to reach them. When you start to experience success, then you start to believe in success, and that leads to more and bigger successes.Beliefs come from knowledge. The more you learn, the more things you will know to be possible. Always take the advantage of opportunities to learn something new. It will bring new possibilities into your beliefs and your life.Most importantly, you can develop new beliefs by setting and visualizing (设想) goals for your life. Define your goals clearly. Then, in your mind, see yourself achieving them in all of their sensory details. The beliefs formed in this way will lead you to their reality.45. In the author’s opinion, your life depends on________.A) your environment where you live B) your experiencesC) your knowledge and opportunities D) your beliefs46. Which is the following statement is true?A) Y ou should try your best to help your negative people around you.B) Y ou should try to achieve small success to believe in success first.C) The more knowledge you learn, the more you will control you life.D) Y ou should stick to your own beliefs without changing.47. According to the passage, what is the most important about your beliefs?A) to imagine your success with your sensesB) to make efforts to achieve themC) to learn as much knowledge as possibleD) to try to experience success regularly48. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?(①---⑤stand for “ paragraph 1 --- paragraph 5” )A) ①——②——③④——⑤B) ①——②③——④——⑤C) ①——②③④——⑤D) ①——②③④⑤Passage ThreeQuestions 49 to 53 are based on the following passage.When a consumer finds that an item he bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to the manufacturer’s claim for it, the first step is to present the warranty (保单), or any other helpful records at the store of purchase. If this action does not work, there are various means that may used to gain satisfaction.A simple and common method is to complain directly to the store manager.

第⼀篇 The Smell of Money For many years large supermarkets have been encouraging us to spend money by pumping the smell of freshly-baked bread into their stories. Now Dale Air, a leading firm of aroma (⾹⽓) consultants, has been approached by Barclay’s Bank to develop suitable artificial smells for their banks. Researchers have suggested that surrounding customers with the “smell if money” will encourage them to feel relaxed and optimistic and give them added confidence in the bank’s security and professionalism. But before a smell can be manufactured and introduced into banks’ air conditioning systems. It must be identified and chemically analyzed, and this has proved to be difficult. The problem is that banknotes-and coins tend to pick up the smell of their surroundings. So cash that has been sitting in a cash register at a fishmonger’s (鱼贩) will smell of fish, and banknotes used to pay for meals in restaurants will tend to smell of food. It may be a challenge, but aroma experts have little doubt that the use of artificial smells can be an effective form of subconscious advertising. Lunn Poly, a British travel company, introduced the smell of coconuts (椰⼦) into its travel agencies and saw a big increase in spending by holiday makers. Many cafes now have electric dispensers (⾃动售货机) that release the smell of freshly roasted coffee near their entrances, subtly encouraging customers to come in and have a drink or snack. Even prestigious car maker Rolls-Royce has been spraying the inside of its cars to enhance the smell of the leather seats. “The sense of smell is probably the most basic and primitive of all human senses,” explains researcher Jim O’Rordan. “There is a direct pathway from the olfactory (嗅觉的) organs in the nose to the brain.” It is certainly true that most people find certain smells incredibly strong, stringing memories and feelings in a way that few other stimulants (刺激物) can rival. It is a phenomenon marketing consultants have long recognized, but until recently have been unable to harness. “We’ve made great progress but the technology of odour production is still in its infancy,” says O’Riordan, “Who knows where it will take us.” 31. Artificial smells have NOT been used in A cafes B banks C travel agencies D supermarkets 32. Researchers believe that introducing the “smell of money” into banks will encourage people A to spend money B to feel confident about banks C to earn more money D to withdraw money from banks 33. The difficulty of producing the “smell of money” lies in that A people’s attitudes toward money are different B it’s hard to identify and analyze it C no technology can do it D experts have no motive 34. The word “harness” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to A see B study C control D understand 35. Researchers think A artificial smells help to improve people’s memory B the technology to produce artificial smells is in the early stage C artificial smells are harmful D the production of artificial smells is profitably第⼆篇 Spoilt for Choice(A级) Choice, we are given to1 believe, is a right. In daily life, people have come to expect endless situations about which they are required to make decisions one way or another. In the main2, these are just irksome moments at work which demand some extra energy or brainpower, or during lunch breaks like choosing which type of coffee to order or indeed which coffee shop to go to. But sometimes selecting one option as opposed to another can have serious or lifelong repercussions. More complex decision-making is then either avoided, postponed, or put into the hands of the army of professionals, Iifestylecoaches, lawyers, advisors, and the like. waiting to lighten the emotional burden for a fee2. But for a good many4 people in the world, in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, created by companies and advertisers wanting to sell their wares5. The main impact of endless choice in people's lives is anxiety. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of consumer goods induces a sense of powerlessness, even paralysis, in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away6, or just buying an unsuitable item that is not really wanted in order to solve the problem and reduce the unease. Recent surveys in the United Kingdom have shown that a sizeable proportion of electrical goods bought per household are not really needed. The advertisers and the shareholders of the manufacturers are, nonetheless, satisfied. It is not just their availability that is the problem, but the speed with which new versions of products come on the market. Advances in design and production mean that new items are almost ready by the time that goods hit the shelves7. Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The classic example is computers which are almost obsolete once they are bought. At first, there were only one or two available from a limited number of manufacturers, but now there are many companies all with not only their own products but different versions of the same machine. This makes selection a problem. Gone are the days when one could just walk with ease. into a shop and buy one thing8; no choice, no anxiety. The plethora of choice is not limited to consumer items. With the greater mobility of people around the world, people have more choice about where they want to live and work — a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, nations migrated across huge swathes of the earth in search of food, adventure, and more hospitable environments. Whole nations crossed continents and changed the face of history, So the mobility of people is nothing new. The creation of nation states and borders9 effectively slowed this process down. 36. Sometimes people ask professionals to help them make decisions because A the decisions may have serious impact on their lives B only professionals have the right to do that C they have sufficient money to pay D they have emotional problems 37. When people cannot easily decide what to buy, which of the following is the least possible choice? A Giving up B Walking away C Buying an unsuitable item D Seeking advice 38. Why do products have a short lifespan nowadays? A They are of poor quality. B They are quickly replaced with new ones. C They have too many versions. D They are not designed by computers. 39. How does migration today differ from that of the past? A People now migrate to find better jobs. B People now migrate for better life. C People now migrate for better environments. D People now have more choice about where to migrate. 40. Which of the following best expresses the writer’s view on choice? A Better more choice than no choice B Better no choice than more choice C All choice is easy D More choice, more anxiety第三篇 Cell Phones: Hang Up or Keep Talking? Millions of people are using cell phones today. In many places it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In many countries, cell phones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of communication—having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected. The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professional worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serous debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health. On the other hand, why do some medical studies show changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones? Signs of change in the issues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning (扫描) equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss. He couldn’t remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer’s doctor didn’t agree. What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can detect verysmall amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about. As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it’s best to use mobile phones less often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it’s wise not to use your mobile phone too often 41. People buy cell phones for the following reasons EXCEPT that A they’re popular B they’re cheap C they’re useful D they’re convenient 42. The world “detected” in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by A cured B removed C discovered D caused 43. The salesman retired young because A he disliked using mobile phones B he was tired of talking on his mobile phone C he couldn’t remember simple tasks D his employer’s doctor persuaded him to 44. On the safety issue of mobile phones, the manufacturing companies A deny the existence of mobile phone radiation B develop new technology to reduce mobile phone radiation C try to prove that mobile phones are not harmful to health D hold that the amount of radiation is too small to worry about 45. The writer’s purpose of writing this article is to advise people A to buy mobile phones B to update regular phones C to use mobile phones less often D to stop using mobile phones 答案解析: 第⼀篇阅读理解:the smell of money 31.

There are 3 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinishedstatements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B),C) and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark thecorresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line throughthe center.Passage OneQuestions 41 to 44 are based on the following passage.Your beliefs are very powerful and have the power to create or to destroy your life. In most cases, whatever you believe is what you will become. If you believe that you are a loser, that you never get a breakthrough in life, these things will be your reality. Believe that you are unlimited, that you can do anything you hope to do, and when you do, your accomplishments will know no bounds. You control your beliefs, and that is how you finally control your life.Many of our beliefs come from our environment, the world we live in ona daily basis. If your environment is limiting your beliefs, then work veryhard on changing it. If you are constantly around people who are negative and limiting, find other people to hang out with and get around positive, successful people.Beliefs also come from past experiences. That is why it is so important to experience successon a regular basis. Set small achievable goals, and then try your best to reach them. When you start to experience success, then you start to believe in success, and that leads to more and bigger successes.Beliefs come from knowledge. The more you learn, the more things you will know to be possible. Always take the advantage of opportunities to learn something new. It will bring new possibilities into your beliefs and your life.Most importantly, you can develop new beliefs by setting and visualizing (设想) goals for your life. Define your goals clearly. Then in your mind, seeyourself achieving them in all of their sensory details. The beliefs formed in this way will lead you to their reality.41.

But forgiveness is possible – and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health. Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better appetite and better sleep patterns. “It can help save on the wear and tear on our system,” says Dr. Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good.So when someone has hurt you, calm yourself first. Take a couple of breaths and think something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene innature, someone you love. Don’t wait for apology. “Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing.” says Dr. Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. So if you want people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time.” Keep in mind that forgiveness does necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who upset you. Instead, learn to look for the beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person’s perspective. You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance(无知), fear—even love. To perspective, you may want to write a letter to yourself from that person’s point of view.45. The test is mainly written to explain .A)how and when to remain calmB) how to stay mentally healthyC) why and how to pardon othersD) how to keep yourself from being hurt46. Research has shown that forgiveness allows people to .A) feel more energeticB) enjoy more foodC) sleep in better waysD) all of the above47. According to the passage, what is the right way to calm down after being hurt?A) Try to figure out why you get hurt.B) Think about pleasant things and forget about the hurt.C) Write a letter to the person who hurt you.D) Persuade yourself to accept what others have done to you.48. Dr. Luskin advises us not to wait for an apology after being hurt because .A) we are not patient enoughB) people don’t mean it when they apologize.C) people seldom want to apologizeD) we’d feel worse accepting others’ apology.Passage ThreeQuestions 49 to 53 are based on the following passage.When a consumer finds that an item he bought is faulty or does not live up to the manufacturer’s claim for it, the first step is to present the warranty (保单), or any other helpful record at the store purchase. If this action doesnot work, there are various means that may be used to gain satisfaction.A simple and common method is to complain directly to the store manager. Generally, the “higher up” the consumer takes his complaint, the faster he can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is uaually settled in the consumer’s favor, if he has a just claim.Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item. If this cannot be done, he will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements.The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely as firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go a step further. He can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting the consumer’s rights.49. When a consumer finds that his purchase has a fault in it, the first thing he should do is to.A) threaten to take the matter to courtB) complain personal to the managerC) show some written proof of the purchase to the storeD) write a firm letter of complaint to the store of purchase50. If a consumer wants a quick settlement of his problem, it is better to complain to .A) the manufacturer B) the store managerC) a shop assistant D) a public organization51. Suppose a consumer finds fault in his tape recorder, what should he say to the store manager?A) The tape recorder is not so good as beforeB) The sound coming out of the right speaker is unclear.C) This is the warranty, you must change a new one for me.D) This tape recorder doesn’t work..52. The most effective complaint can be made by .A) asking politely to change the itemB) showing the faulty item to the manufacturerC) explaining exactly what is wrong with the itemD) saying firmly that the item is of poor quality53. The passage tells us how to .A) make an effective complaint about a faulty itemB) avoid buying a faulty itemC) deal with complaints from customers.D) settle a consumer’s complaint about a faulty itemSection B Short Answer Questions (4 points, 1 point each) Directions:Read the following business letter.

There are 3 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there ar e four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 41 to 44 are based on the following passage.When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible —and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health. Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better appetite and better sleep patterns. “It can help save on the wear and tear on our system”, says Dr.Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good.So when someone has hurt you, calm yourself first. Take a couple of breaths and think of some thing that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love. Don’t w ait for an apology. “Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing,” says Dr. Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time”. Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who upset you. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person s perspective(视角). Y ou may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance(无知), fear—even love. To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to yourself from that person’s point of view.41.

In most cases, whatever you believe is what you will become. If you believe that you are loser, that you never get a breakthrough in life, these things will be your reality. Believe that you are unlimited, that you can do anything you hope to do, and when you do, your accomplishments will know no bounds. You control your beliefs, and that is how you finally control your life.Many of our beliefs come from our environment, the world we live in on a daily basis. If your environment is limiting your beliefs, then work very hard on changing it. If you are constantly around people who are negative and limiting, find other people to hang out with. and get around positive, successful people.Beliefs also come from past experiences. That is why it is so important to experience success on a regular basis. Set small, achievable goals, and then try your best to reach them. When you start to experience success, then you start to believe in success, and that leads to more and bigger successes.Beliefs come from knowledge. The more you learn, the more things you will know to be possible. Always take the advantage of opportunities to learn something new. It will bring new possibilities into your beliefs and your life.Most importantly, you can develop new beliefs by setting and visualizing (设想) goals for your life. Define your goals clearly. Then, in your mind, see yourself achieving them in all of their sensory details. The beliefs formed in this way will lead you to their reality.45.

If this action does not work, there are various means that may used to gain satisfaction.A simple and common method is to complain directly to the store manager. Generally, the “higher up”the consumer takes his or her complaint, the faster he can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer’s favor, if he has a just claim.Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question. If this can not be done, he will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong,rather than by making general statements.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 if a polite complaint d oesn’t achieve the desired result, the consumer can go a step further. He can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumers’ rights.49.
