33、ng opportunities for individuals within the communities in which they are located. Global Exchange hopes that the success of this venture in San Francisco will provide crucial lessons for replicating the model in other cities around the world. These centers can then be networked in a manner that mai
34、ntains local autonomy, yet assembles enough economic power to challenge the dominance of transnational corporations. The goal is to build a new economy from the grassroots up - as Danaher puts it, “an economybased on life values and citizen empowerment rather than money values and corporate control.
35、“In the meantime, more Green Festivals will be taking place - in Austin, Texas, Oct. 11-12 and again in San Francisco Nov. 8-9 - and organizers hope to extend to other cities in the future. 81 What factor can best illustrate that green economy is welcomed by consumers?（A）Many big famous companies pr

The more I go into shops and hotels, ban
40、ks and post offices, railway stations, airports and the like, the more Im convinced that things are being run solely to suit the firm, the system, or the union. There seems to be an insidious motto for so called “Service“ organizations - Staff before Service. How often, for example, have you queued
41、for what seems like hours at the Post Office or the supermarket because there was not enough staff on duty to man all the service grilles or checkout counters? Surely in these days of high unemployment it must be possible to recruit cashiers and counter staff. Yet supermarkets, hinting darkly at hig
42、her prices, claim that bringing all their cash registers at any one time would increase expenses. And the Post Office says we cannot expect all their service grilles to be occupied “at times when demand is low“. Its the same with hotels. Because waiters and kitchen staff must finish when it suits th
43、em, dining rooms close earlier or menu choice is curtailed. As for us guests (and how the meaning of that word has been whittled away), we just have to put up with it. Theres also the nonsense of so many friendly hotel night porters having been phased out in the interests of “efficiency“ (i. e. prof
44、its) and replaced by coin guzzling machines which dispense everything from lager to laxatives. Not to mention the creeping menace of the tea making kit in your room: a kettle with an assortment of teabags, plastic milk cartons and lump sugar. Who wants to wake up to a raw teabag? I dont, especially
45、when I am paying for “service“.Can it be halted, this erosion of service, this growing attitude that the customer is always a nuisance? I fervently hope so because its happening, sadly, in all walks of life. Our only hope is to hammer home our indignation whenever and wherever we can and, if all els
46、e fails, bring back into use that other, older slogan, and Take Our Custom Elsewhere.85 The writer feels that nowadays a customer is _.（A）the recipient of privileged treatment（B） unworthy of proper consideration（C） classified by society as inferior（D）the victim of modern organizations86 In the write
47、rs opinion, the quality of service is changing because _.（A）the customers demands have changed（B） the staff receive more consideration than the customers（C） the customers needs have increased（D）the staff are less considerate than their employers87 Service organizations claim that keeping checkout co
