He must obtain data both on the resources of consumers and

28、 on the motives that tend to encourage or discourage money spending.If an economist were asked which of three groups borrow most - people with rising incomes, stable incomes, or declining incomes - he would probably answer: those with declining incomes. Actually, in the years 1947 - 1950, the answer

29、 was: people with rising incomes. people with declining incomes were next and people with stable incomes borrowed the least. This shows us that traditional assumptions about earning and spending are not always reliable. Another traditional assumption is that if people who have money expect prices to

30、 go up, they will hasten to buy. If they expect prices to go down, they will postpone buying. But research surveys have shown that this is not always true. The expectations of price increases may not stimulate buying. One typical attitude was expressed by the wife of a mechanic in an interview at a

31、time of rising prices. “In a few months,“ she said, “well have to pay more for meat and milk; well have less to spend on other things.“ Her family had been planning to buy a new car but they postponed this purchase. Furthermore, the rise in prices that has already taken place may be resented(怨恨) and

32、 buyers resistance may be evoked(唤起，引起). This is shown by the following typical comment: “I just dont pay these prices; they are too high.“The investigations mentioned above were carried out in America. Investigations conducted at the same time in Great Britain, however, yielded results that were mo

33、re in agreement with traditional assumptions about saving and spending patterns. The condition most conducive (有助于的 ) to spending appears to be price stability. If prices have been stable and people consider that they are reasonable, they are likely to buy. Thus, it appears that the common business

34、policy of maintaining stable prices is based on a correct understanding of consumer psychology.（分数：8.00）(1).According to the passage, if one wants to predict the way (consumers will spend their money, he should _.（分数：2.00）A.rely on traditional assumptions about earning and spendingB.try to encourage

35、 or discourage consumers to spend moneyC.carry out investigations on consumer behavior and obtain data on consumers incomes and money spending motivesD.do researches in consumer psychology in a laboratory(2).According to paragraph 2, research surveys have proved that _.（分数：2.00）A.price increases alw

36、ays stimulate people to hasten to buy thingsB.rising prices may make people put off their purchase of certain thingsC.women are more sensitive to the rising in prices than menD.the expectations of price increases often make buyers feel angry(3).From the results of the surveys, the writer of this art

37、icle _.（分数：2.00）A.concludes that the saving and spending patterns in Great Britain are better than those in AmericaB.concludes that the consumers always expect prices to remain stableC.concludes that maintaining stable prices is a correct business policyD.does not draw any conclusion(4).Which of the

38、 following statements is always TRUE according to the surveys mentioned in the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Consumers will put off buying things if they expect prices to decrease.B.Consumers will spend their money quickly if they expect prices to decrease.C.The price condition has an influence on consumer beh

39、avior.D.Traditional assumptions about earning and spending are reliabl九、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：8.00)Hong Kong is a city inclined toward red; in Thailand the color is yellow; India leans toward reds and oranges. These are not political colors, but colors that suggest religious beliefs.To an Asian color

40、s are full of beliefs, religious and otherwise. To the Chinese, red is very lucky, but to Thais yellow brings good fortune. The combination of blue, black, and white is, to the Chinese, suggestive of a funeral.Many Western businessmen believe that most Asians have become Westernized(西方化) in their ou

41、tlook. This is true in part. But Westernization and education do not usually completely replace the culture and beliefs of an Asians forefathers. They tend instead to make a more sophisticated combination of his culture and religious bonds. The approach required to sell an Asian any commodity must f

42、ollow the basic formula of catering(迎合) to national pride, acknowledging equality, and understanding the Asians beliefs.Color is a touchy thing. Advertisers are advised to take into consideration the religious and superstitious(迷信的) beliefs connected with colors before using them. The color combinat

43、ions of green and purple are acceptable throughout Asia as these colors seem to have been worn by religious leaders in earlier times.However, using one or both of these colors is no guarantee of sales, as a prominent manufacturer of water-recreation products learned in Malaysia. Its home office rece

44、ived heated request from its distributors to stop shipments on all products colored green. The distributors reported that numerous customers associated the color green with the jungle and illness.（分数：8.00）(1).Which of the following is the best title for this passage?（分数：2.00）A.Colors CommunicateB.Gr

45、een and Purple: A Sign of Religious LeadershipC.An Expensive Lesson in MalaysiaD.The Westernization of Asia(2).The word “catering to“ (Par（分数：2.00）A.3, last sentence) is closest in meaning to _.A. providingB. followingC. respondingD. creating(3).What does “home office“ in the last paragraph refer to

46、?（分数：2.00）A.The office at the managers home.B.The major distribution office in Malaysia.C.The new type of mobile office.D.The office in its own country.(4).What conclusion can we draw from the last paragraph?（分数：2.00）A.Most Asians have become Westernized.B.Asian businessmen have given up their own b

47、eliefs.C.Western businessmen must respect the Asians beliefs.D.All Asians think green means illness.十、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：8.00)Young people in the United States have a wide variety of inte-rests apart from their school work. As children, both boys and girls play many of the same games. They swim,

48、 play baseball and basketball, go boating and camping, and have fun in many kinds of sports and outdoor activities.Numerous youth organizations give young people a chance to develop and broaden their interests, and to gain experience in working with others. Among these groups are the Boy Scouts, whi

49、ch serves more than four million boys, the Girl Scouts, with nearly three million girls, and the Boys Club of America, with over one million participants. These and other groups are guided by adults who volunteer their services. Civic, cultural and religious groups also sponsor special programs for young people.In farm areas, boys and girls learn to work together in agriculture, homemaking and citizenship activities through more than 158 360 clubs w
