19、tributed to a drastic change in the summer week-end habits of the British publiC. Now, on most Saturdays in the months loosely called summer, it is possible to see family saloons loaded with picnics and crammed to bursting with several generations of pleasure-bent Smiths. Like competitors in some gr
20、ossly disorganized rally, they nose their way through the neat drab streets of council estates, converging on the main roads, then crawl as best they can out into the open country and towards the coast.Congestion and the frustration of wasting precious time at the receiving end of someone elses exha
21、ust fumes gets the pursuit of enjoyment off to had start; tempersbecome frayed. Children, traditionally the target for fathers ill-humor, are singled out for special treatment. The past weeks misdeeds are unearthed and magnified out of all reasonable proportion; mothers leap to their broods defense
22、and, before long, vows that never again will this outing be repeated are being hurled back and forth. Of course, by this time, the children have wisely extracted themselves from the argument and are quietly amusing themselves by looking at their irate elders or gaping at the unfamiliar sight of anim
23、als in fields, often so much stranger to them than the corresponding naked shapes they are wont to see in butchers windows.Eventually, tempers partially restored, the sea is in sight. The paraphernalia of enjoyment is set up on teeming beach, sand mysteriously appears in every sandwich, pale industr
24、ial legs are exposed in self-conscious nakedness.The children drift away, quite capable of finding enough magic in this exciting, watery world to occupy them fully until they are gathered in again. Fathers and mothers, and quite possibly some members of a previous generation, settle back to receive
25、the sun and dream away the tensions brought to a climax by the journey. Fathers eye with furtive lustfulness and mothers glare with disapproval and envy as the shapely matrons of tomorrow splash and play and race coquettishly around them, spraying water and sand and disturbing any hopes of peace.At
26、length the shadows drop and chill in the air brings an end to the idyll. The lobster skin is painfully covered up and the days debris half-heartedly collected. The family is rounded up and the brief dreams trodden into the sand along with the wasted paper.(分数:10.00)(1).The writer suggests that tempe
27、rs become frayed because _.(分数:2.00)A.there are too many careless drivers on the roadsB.there are too many cars on the roadsC.the cars are crowdedD.the children are irritating(2).How do the fathers react when angry?(分数:2.00)A.They stop the children misbehaving.B.They complain about the childrens wro

31、ment in time, energy and money. Few companies would spend a large sum of money on, say, a purchase of capital equipment without a full investigation into why it is needed, the choices available, and the expected return on what has been spent. Yet every year the vast majority of companies invest a la
32、rge amount of money in marketing actions without knowing what their financial worth to the company or likely return will be. By introducing the disciplines arising from market planning, a company should be able to ensure that the costs of marketing planning show a reasonable return and are calculate
33、d in the same way as all other business investments.Many managers believe that the costs of marketing form an additional expense that has to be accepted in order to sell their goods. Whilst it is true that many companies use certain tools of marketing for this purpose, it is also true that the most
34、successful companies accept marketing as an essential part of the companys total commercial operation, for it is an essential cost in the same way as production or finance.Companies often avoid planning marketing procedures in detail because of the effort needed to express their forward policy in a
35、written form. Managers commonly consider that their time is too valuable to spend on anything other than urgent operational problems. In fact, the manager who spends his time on dealing with current administrative detail is almost certain to have ignored proper planning in the past. For, if properly
36、 prepared, the marketing plan will contain sufficient details of the companys policy and operational strategy for the work to be done by an assistant. As the many alternative courses of action are programmed, the assistant takes any actions or decisions which are appropriate. Only unusual situations
37、 need be dealt with by the manager.The first step in preparing a marketing plan is that of producing the information necessary for decision making. Usually, a company will have within its own administration and control system the raw material necessary for the plans foundations. In addition, there i
38、s plenty of published information which is made available by government departments, institutions and the press.Marketing research is yet to be fully exploited by the majority of companies. It has so far only been used by companies that have recognized that their existing information sources are ina
39、dequate. Because of the scale of operations that now confronts the typical businessman, it is essential that investment decisions are based upon relevant information, so reducing the business risk.For a marketing-oriented activity to produce lasting results the entire operation has to be systematica
40、lly planned. By producing basic information in written form and establishing aims for the future, the company is creating standards against which actual performance can be measureD. Documentation of detailed policy actions then provides the basis for controlling the companys operation. Future trends
41、 may be predicted through the investigation of all factors likely to influence company results.(分数:10.00)(1).The amount of money spent on marketing by most companies each year _.(分数:2.00)A.equals the amount spent on capital equipmentB.does not give a good return on the investmentC.is not based on an
42、 assessment of its potential valueD.is viewed by these companies as an important business investment(2).Managers usually regard the costs of marketing as _.(分数:2.00)A.something which increases the cost of goodsB.helpful but not essential to a companys successC.less important than investment in produ
43、ctionD.an unnecessary extra business cost(3).Why are marketing plans not written down by many managers?(分数:2.00)A.They do not have time to do it.B.They know it would be difficult to do.C.They never follow any particular marketing plan.D.They do not think it is really necessary(4).Good marketing proc
44、edures allow a manager _.(分数:2.00)A.to take different courses of actionB.to do less work than othersC.to avoid unforeseen problemsD.to give more responsibility to others(5).How should a manager begin writing a marketing plan?(分数:2.00)A.By doing market research outside the company.B.By looking at inf
45、ormation produced by other companies.C.By analyzing procedures already used by the company.D.By finding information from many different sources.Passage ThreeIn addition to urge to conform which we generate ourselves, there is the external pressure of the various formal and informal groups we belong
46、to, the pressure to back their ideas and attitudes and to imitate their actions. Thus our urge to conform receives continuing, even daily reinforcement. To be sure, the intensity of the reinforcement, like the strength of the urge and the ability and inclination to withstand it, differs widely among
47、 individuals. Yet some pressure is present for everyone. And in one way or another, to some extent, everyone yields to it.It is possible that a new member of a temperance group might object the groups rigid insistence that all drinking of alcoholic beverages is wrong. He might even speak out, remind
48、ing them that occasional, moderate drinking is not harmful, that even the Bible speaks approvingly of it. But the group may quickly let him know that such ideas are unwelcome in their presence. Every time he forgets this, he will be made to feel uncomfortable. In time, if he values their companionsh
49、ip he will avoid expressing that point of view. He may even keep himself from thinking.This kind of pressure, whether spoken or unspoken, can be generated by any group, regardless of how liberal or conservative, formal or casual it may be. Friday night poker clubs, churches, political parties, committees, fraternities, unions. The teenage gang that steals automobile accessories may seem to
