27、vernment. Most Americans believe, for example, that businesses are more efficient and better-run than the federal government. Why do business institutions possess this great prestige? One reason is that Americans view business as being more firmly based on the ideal of competition than other institu

28、tions in society. Since competition is seen as the major source of progress and prosperity by most Americans, competitive business institutions are respected. Competition is not only good in itself; it is the means by which other basic American values such as individual freedom, equality of opportun

29、ity, and hard work are protected. Competition protects the freedom of the individual by ensuring that there is no monopoly power. In contrast to one, all-powerful government, many businesses compete against each other for profits. Theoretically, if one business tries to take unfair advantage of its

30、customers, it will lose to a competing business that treats its customers more fairly. Where businesses compete for the customers dollar, they cannot afford to give them inferior products or poor services. Competition in business is also believed to strengthen the ideal of equality of opportunity. A

31、mericans compare business competition to a race open to all, where success and status go to the swiftest person, regardless of social class background. Business competition is also seen by most Americans as encouraging hard work. If two business people are competing against each other, the one who w

32、orks harder is likely to win. The one who spends less time and effort is likely to lose. Because business people must continually compete against each other, they must develop the habit of hard work in order not to fail. Americans are aware that business institutions often do not live up to the idea

33、ls of competition and the support of freedom, equality of opportunity, and hard work. Americans sometimes distrust the motives of business people, believing that they are capable of putting profit before product safety, or a cleaner environment. Therefore, most Americans believe businesses need some

34、 government regulation, although they may disagree on how much. Even with these flaws, however, most Americans believe that business comes closer than other institutions to carrying out competition and other basic values in daily practice. 31 In the United States, business has great prestige because

35、_. （ A） Americans think it is the only way for a person to become rich （ B） Americans believe it supports ideals and values that are important to the country （ C） Americans feel they benefit more from business institutions than from other institutions in society （ D） Americans think it is more diffi

36、cult to succeed in business than in other fields 32 Which of the following statements is NOT true? （ A） Many Americans believe that businesses are more efficient and better-run than the federal government. （ B） Americans believe competition among businesses is good for the economy. （ C） Americans se

37、e competition as a means to protect other basic American values. （ D） Americans think competition among businesses is good in itself, but does little to protect the freedom of the individual. 33 Competition among businesses can result in_. （ A） harm to equality of opportunity （ B） monopoly power （ C

38、） an all-powerful government （ D） superior products and services 34 To succeed in American business, people believe that_. （ A） family background and social position are more important than anything else （ B） they have to take unfair advantage of customers in order to make more profit （ C） they must

39、 develop the habit of hard work in order to win （ D） they have to put profit before product safety or a cleaner environment 35 This passage can be entitled_. （ A） The Prestige of Business and the Ideal of Competition （ B） The Characteristics of American Business （ C） Competition: A Major Source of P

40、rogress and Prosperity （ D） Business Institutions vs. Federal Government 35 There are three additional factors that should be cited in order to ensure greater success in the youth market. The first is that the youth group is a perpetually new market. As consumers move into this market, the advertise

41、r needs to attract them, since every brand is a new brand to someone who has never used it before. This stream of young consumers moves along in age and finally drifts into an older pool of householders. Thus, a marketer must not neglect young consumers who come “on stream“ if the companys brand is

42、to have continued success in the older-age market. A second point to remember is that companies may be able to utilize youth appeals to a market broader than the traditional age boundary would indicate. Marketers today are defining “youth“ more in terms of a state of mind than of a specific age. The

43、 result of this is that many companies, ranging from retailers to manufacturers, are broadening their emphasis to include the mature and more affluent customers who “think young“. A final point for the market to recognize is the growing and global nature of the market. The youth market will increase

44、 worldwide. Moreover, there appears to be a growing homogenization of the teenage market worldwide. Many companies see teen tastes and attitudes as being sufficiently similar to warrant(保证 , 使有正当理由 )a global advertising and marketing strategy. If there is a generic type of teenager emerging globally

45、, this has important implications for marketers. First, sheer market size is staggering(令人惊愕的 )1. 37 billion people, or 26 percent of world population, aged 10 to 19 in 1990and there is a trend of teens in industrialized nations spending a higher percentage of their parents disposable income. Second

46、, a danger lurks in this market for U. S. marketers. They must recognize that the United States may not remain the cultural nerve center for teens. Constant travel and attention to new ideas generated abroad are necessary, rather than assuming an automatic reliance on the primacy of U. S. cultural e

47、xports. 36 Young consumers who “come on stream“ means_. （ A） young people who have never used certain brands before （ B） young people who become the targets of marketers （ C） young people who consume in the youth market and late in the older-age market （ D） young people who are involved in household

48、 purchases 37 Which of the following is NOT true? （ A） To redefine “youth“ in terms of a state of mind may lead marketers to greater gains in the youth markets. （ B） The redefinition of “youth“ includes those people who are physically old but psychologically young. （ C） The redefinition of “youth“ i

49、ndicates a broader youth market than the traditional one. （ D） To achieve greater success in youth market, efforts should be concentrated on young consumers. 38 The growing and global nature of youth market lies in all of the following EXCEPT_. （ A） it increases worldwide and is becoming homogenized （ B） tastes and attitudes of teens all over the world are being similar （ C） companies are adopt
