In most cases, this action will produce results. However, 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” his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer’s 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 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 left 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 sore manager may advice the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and firmly as possible. If a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go a step further. He or she 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.1 When a consumer finds the item he or she bought faulty, the first thing he or she should do is to _____.A. complain personally to the managerB. threaten to take the matter to courtC. write a firm letter of complaint to the store of purchaseD. show some written proof of the purchase to the store2 How can a consumer make his or her complaint more effective, according to thepassage?A.

Certainly, people working under pressure feel a very strong desire to escape from work and become less tight during their holidays, and experience a changed environment. For this reason, holidays away from home are now seen by most people as necessary to their quality life.However, work for many people today is mental, rather than physical. These people may seek much more energy-taking activities while on holiday, rather than simply lying on a beach.Once people become used to going on holiday, taking holidays becomes a habit. Even in a recession, for many people the holiday is one of the last things to be given up, and indeed many workers have chosen to spend some of their last pay when being laid off on a holiday, perhaps to give themselves a “lift” before facing a gloomy future.Perhaps we don’t like to admit it, but most of us also enjoy showing off about the places we have been tom and the lovely tans --- dark skins we have got. The idea of tanning, however, is becoming less attractive than it was. So many tourists are now able to afford holidays in the sun that tans have become quite common; and although we join a tan together with health (and it is true that a certain amount of sunshine gives us a feeling of being healthy), it has been fully shown that sunshine, especially when received over a short, focused period of time, result in high danger of skin problems, as well as drying out one’s skin and leading to more lines on your face later in life.1 More and more people choose to have holidays because they ___.A. hate working indoors all the timeB. want to get away from workC. love enjoying the beauties of natureD. become rich and want a better life2 What do office people often do when they have holidays?A. They lie in the beach and enjoy sunshine.B. They spend more than they can afford.C. They think about their work on the beach.D. They choose to do more physical exercise.3 A holiday may ___ when one has to face some difficulties in life.A. cheer someone upB. help someone find a job.C. be the last thing to give up.D. bring good luck to someone.4 What does the writer try to tell the reader at the end of the passage?A. The importance of getting sunshine.B. The bad effects of being on holiday.C. The result of getting suntanned.D. The healthy look of being tanned.5 From the passage we learned that some people cannot live without ___.A. a tanB. a jobC. a payD. a holiday三．完形填空From Monday until Friday, most people are busy working or studying, but in the evenings and on weekends they are free to relax and enjoy themselves. Some watch television or go to the cinema, others take part in sports. It depends on individual interests. There are many different ways to spend our spare time.Almost everyone has some kind of hobby. It may be anything from collecting stampsto making model airplanes. Some hobbies are very expensive, but others are valuable only to their owners.I know a man who has a coin collection worth several thousand dollars. A short time ago, he bought a rare fifty-cent piece worth $250! He was very happy about his purchase and thought the price was low. On the other hand, my younger brother collects match boxes. He has almost 600 of them, but I doubt if they are worth any money. However, to my brother they are extremely valuable. Nothing makes him happier than to find a new match box for his collection.That’s what a hobby means, I guess. It is something we like to do in our spare time simply for the fun of it. The value in dollars is not important, but the pleasure it gives us is.The dictionary tells us an absent-minded person is so busy with his thought that he does not notice other things that are happening, or the thing that he is doing. Professor Egghead is one of the absent-minded ones.Wearing his glasses on his nose, he often asks himself, “Where did I put my glasses?”One afternoon when he came back home, he said with pride to his wife, “Look! I haven’t forgotten to bring my umbrella home with me today.”But his wife, bursting into laughter, said, “You didn’t take your own umbrella with you this morning.”Last Sunday, Professor Egghead was walking at the railway station with his two friends. They were deep in conversation. The train had just moved, but they didn’t notice it. Then the guard shouted, “Take your seats, please!”The three heard the guard and rushed to the train. Two of them got on the train while it moved. The third one was left behind. It was Professor Egghead. He looked sad.One of the professor’s students happened to be at the station. He tried to comfort the professor. “It wasn’t really bad, sir,”said the student. “Two out of three caught the train. That’s quite good, you know.”“I know,” the professor said. “But it was my train. My friends came to see me off.”四根据首字母提示，翻译下列词汇。
