26、   The market investigation is indispensable to sales promotion. They are closely related as the lips and teeth, so to speak. What you produce is for sale on the market. It would be impossible to succeed in selling a product without first investigating the market.

In the international market, goods on sale are coming from different countries and suppliers are always facing keen competition. Under such circumstances, they will try everything possible to familiarize themselves with the market conditions. In making investigations, we ought to get information about what similar items the competitors are offering on the market, what prices they are quoting (报价) , what features their products have, who are their regular customers, etc. Then, how can we obtain such information?

There are many channels that we can, make use of in doing this sort of work. The commercial counselor’s offices of our embassies stationed abroad can help us in making market investigations. Nowadays, our import and export corporations send their trade groups abroad every now and then. One of their purposes is to make market surveys on the spot.

Certainly, face-to-face talks with foreign businessmen are also important channels to get market information. The Chinese Export Commodities Fairs, and some other fairs of similar nature as well as visits of foreign businessmen provide us with such opportunities. Of course, there are some other ways of making market investigations.

【1】In making market investigations, one should _________ .

A.get enough information concerned B.advertise his products

C.produce high quality goods D.visit the competitors

【2】The underlined word “indispensable” in the first line means _________ .

A.successful B.necessary

C.advisable D.available

【3】Which of the following is NOT the reason why making market investigations is important?

A.Every producer is faced with fierce competition.

B.The market investigation plays a big role in promoting sales.

C.Goods on sale are numerous because of globalization.

D.The investigation offers many job opportunities.

【4】All the following are channels to get market information except _________ .

28、Three Most Common Regrets People Have Later in Life

If you follow Gary Vaynerchuk, then you’re probably aware of how much he talks about regret. This is a list of the most common regrets people have. 【1】.

 Being afraid to say “I Love You”

I probably only said those words to three people in my entire life. Why are we so afraid to say “I love you”? Because it might make us vulnerable? 【2】?

Three words could make somebody’s day, their week, their month, their year, even their life! So don’t be so afraid to tell people you love them.

 Care too much about what other people think

【3】. I would be scared to do all the things I wanted to do, in case my friends or the people around me thought it was stupid.

Truth is, it’s your life, and you have to be happy with it. You cannot let the opinions of others dictate how you are going to live your life. 【4】, “We spend money that we do not have, on things we do not need, to impress people who do not care.”

Stop worrying so much about what other people will think of you for the decisions you make.

 【5】

Quite frankly, if you live your whole life without ever taking a big risk, you may have lived a very boring life.

Risks don’t always pay off, but they’re involved with all of life’s best experiences. Those who aren’t open to taking risks will never be able to see the most of what life has to offer.

A．As the quote goes

B．Never take a big risk

D．Because the other person might not feel the same way

E．Fear of what other people would think kept me caged for far too long

F．Make sure you won’t have these regrets when you reach old age

G．He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.

29、Steph Clemence always intended to go to college. But life tends to throw barriers in the way. Her mother remarried several times. By the time she was a senior in high school, Steph had lived in 25 places. Her stepfather died in a car accident, leaving her mother to support three daughters on a modest income. Paying for college became out of the question.

One afternoon, Dorothy Clark, her English teacher, walked into the classroom, handing out a paper sheet titled “Mrs. Clark’s Book List”, and said, “Some of you might not go on to higher education, but you can continue to learn.” She created a list of 153 fiction and nonfiction books, covering science, history, economics, politics, and literature. It would, she believed, form the equivalent (等同) of two years at a liberal arts college.

So she began in 1970. Starting at the top, Steph would read every book in the order they appeared. Each of those books fueled her passion to learn more about the person, subject matter, or time in history. Unlike many people who open a book in bed before it’s time to sleep, Steph prefers to read while sitting in a chair with a cup of coffee by her side. She doesn’t race through a book, as she wants to savor the experience.

Now Steph is 70 and she never did get to college. But she has only four books left to read from the list. She expects to complete them sometime in 2023.

In Madame Curie, the author, Eve Curie, writes, “Each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful.” The way Steph sees it, Mrs. Clark felt it was her particular duty to help young students. Steph wishes she could thank Mrs. Clark and share with her how reading the works on her list has changed her life. “It was never just a list I got from some teacher in school. It’s always been Mrs. Clark’s Book List,” says Steph.

【1】What prevented Steph going to college?

A．Her family’s frequent move.

B．Her stepfather’s death.

C．Her mother’s remarriage.

D．Her family’s financial conditions.

【2】Why did Mrs. Clark create the book list?

A．To prepare students for college.

B．To encourage students to continue learning.

C．To serve as a reading task for students.

D．To share her favorite books with students.

【3】What does Steph think of “Mrs. Clark’s Book List”?

A．Informative.

B．Heavy going.

C．Humorous.

D．Mind-twisting.

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A．A good reading habit counts

B．An influential reading list makes a difference

C．An impressive English teacher does wonder

D．A wonderful university experience matters

31、Directions：Read the following passage and fill in the blanks to complete the summary. No more than eight words for each blank.

The school that is changing American education

Two years ago, I visited a school in Brooklyn called P-TECH, the Pathways in Technology early college high school, which seemed very much like the future of education to me. It knitted together educators and job creators, giving kids not only a high school degree, but a two-year associate degree and a job guarantee at one of the country’s top blue-chip firms, IBM.

The latest great national leap forward in secondary education was during the post W.W. Ⅱ period, when state governments decided that high school education, previously optional, should be compulsory in order to ensure the kind of skilled workforce needed to compete in a new, higher tech industrial era. Now, many leaders---including the President, the education Secretary, scores of blue-chip CEOs and executives, and most top educators---believe we’re once again at such a turning point. When it comes to high school, an increasing number of them buy into the idea that not only should educators and job creators b e much more closely connected, but that as Stanley Litow, the IBM executive behind the program puts it,“six should be the new four.”The push for all American kids to have a post high school future, like Tennessee governor Haslam’s recent calls for two years of free community college for every student in the state, seems to come almost daily.

The statistics support it. A Four-year high school degree these days only guarantees a $15 an hour future. According to projections by the Center on Education and the Workforce at Georgetown University, the U.S. economy will create some 47-million job openings in the decade ending 2018, but nearly two-thirds will require some post secondary education. The Center projects that only 36% of American jobs will be filled by people with only a 4-year high school degree---half of what that number was in the 1970s. What’s more, the cost of not trading up educationally could be disastrous---workers with an associate degree will earn 73% more than those with only a high school diploma.

Many leaders maintain that children should 【1】 and that high schools should 【2】. The idea is based on 【3】. On one hand, more jobs will require 【4】. On the other, an associate degree will ensure 【5】.
