19、lain things to them or discuss ideas with them. In the same way, any company needs to establish a personal relationship with its major clients and potential customers. It is often said that “people do business with people“ : a firm doesnt just deal impersonally (没有人情味地 )with another firm. A person i
20、n the buying department regularly receives personal visits from people representing the firms suppliers (供应商 ) or in the case of department stores or chain stores, a team of buyers may travel around visiting their suppliers. Keeping sales people “on the road“ is much more expensive than employing th
21、em to work in the office. Much of the sales peoples time is spent unproductively traveling.

22、avel and accommodation expenses may be very high. As a result, servicing overseas customers may often be done by phone, telex (电传 )or letter, and personal visits may be less often.

27、 democracy, which means that the citizens run the government.

These elected officials h
28、elp pass laws that reflect the interests of their constituents, the people who live within the areas they represent. Since the right to choose these representatives is in the hands of the people, it is very important that everyone in a community go to the polls to cast their ballots(投票 ). If only a
