33、ne groupBText 2/BThe human body has developed its millions of nerves to be highly aware of what goes on both inside and outside of it. This helps us adjust to the outside world. Without our nerves and our brain, which is a system of nerves, we couldnt know whats happening. But we pay for our sensiti
34、vity. We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body. The history of torture (折磨) is based on the human body being open to pain.But there is a way to handle pain. Look at the Indian fakir (苦行僧) who sits on a bed of nails. Fakirs can put a needle fight through an arm, an
35、d feel no pain. This ability that some humans have developed to handle pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain.The big thing in withstanding pain is our attitude toward it. If the dentist says, “This will hurt a little,“ it helps us to accept the pain. By staying relaxed, and
36、 by treating the pain as an interesting sensation (感觉), we can handle the pain without falling apart. After all, although pain is an unpleasant sensation, it is still a sensation, and sensations are the stuff of life.（分数：10.00）(1).The human body has developed a system of nerves that enables us to_（分
37、数：2.00）A.stay relaxedB.avoid painC.stand tortureD.feel pain(2).What does the writer mean by saying “we pay for our sensitivity“ in the first paragraph?（分数：2.00）A.We have to take care of our sense of pain.B.We suffer from our sense of feeling.C.We should try hard to resist pain.D.We are hurt when we

40、ucceed, bring millions of dollars to innovative companies, while others fail, often with great losses7 The answer is not simple, and certainly we cannot say that “good“ products succeed while “bad“ products fail. Many products that function well and seem to meet consumer needs have fallen by the way
41、side. Sometimes, virtually identical products exist in the market at the same time with one emerging as profitable while the other fails. Mc. Neal Laboratories Tylenol has become successful as an aspirin substitute, yet Bristol Meyers entered the test market at about the same time with Neotrend, als
42、o a substitute for aspirin which quickly failed.The nature of the product is a factor in its success or failure, but the important point is that they should aim at meeting the customers need, and the introductory promotion should seek to communicate that need satisfying quality and motivate the cust
43、omer to try the product. Often, attitude change is involved, and, in the extreme, changes in life style may be sought.Here the company walks a tightrope. A new product is more likely to be successful if it represents a truly novel way of solving a customer problem, but this very newness, if carried
44、too far, may ask the customer to learn new behavior patterns. The customer will make the change if the perceived benefit is sufficient, but inertia is strong and consumers will often not go to the effort that is required. During the late sixties and early seventies Bristol Meyers met with new produc
45、t failures that exemplify both of these problems. In 1967 and 1968 the company entered the market with a $ 5 million advertising campaign for fact toothpaste, and an $11 million campaign to promote resolve. Both products failed quickly, not be cause they didnt work or because there was no consumer n
46、eed, but apparently because consumers just could see no reason to shift from an already satisfactory product to a different one that promised no new benefit.（分数：10.00）(1).The first sentence of the first paragraph is a question, to which the answer is_（分数：2.00）A.that the good products succeed while t
47、he bad failB.that the “good“ are not really good but the “bad“ are actually badC.that new products will succeed if they function well and fail if they dontD.not given in the paragraph(2).What are Tylenol and Neotrend?（分数：2.00）A.They are names of two drug manufactures.B.They are probably two new bran
48、ds of medicine which serve as a substitute for aspirin.C.Tylenol is a drug manufacturer whereas Neotrend is a new substitute medicine for aspirin.D.They are probably the names of chemists who invented the new medicine.(3).The success or failure of a product seems to be determined by a number of factors, one of which, the author emphasizes, is the consumers perception of the products_（分数：2.00）A.quality and priceB.usefulness and durabilityC.need satisfying capabilityD.appearance and inner packing(4).What does the author mean when he says “the company walks a tightrope“(Sente
