     Advertising can have both negative and positive effects. Consumers may be convinced to buy a product
of poor quality on high price because of an advertisement. For example, some advertisers have appealed to
(迎合) people's desire for better fuel economy for their cars by advertising automotive products that improve
gasoline mileage (英里数). Some of the products work. Others are worthless and a waste of consumers'
money.
     Sometimes advertising is misleading on purpose. A few years ago a brand of bread was offered to dieters
(节食者) with the message that there were fewer calories (热量单位, 大卡) in every slice. It turned out that
the bread was not dietetic (适合于节食的). But there were the same number of calories in every loaf.
     On the positive side, Advertising may sometimes respond to a consumer's real needs. Consider fire
insurance (保险). Fire insurance may be sold by appealing to fear of loss. But fear of loss is the real reason
for fire insurance. The security of knowing that property is protected by insurance makes the buy of fire
insurance a worthwhile investment (投资) for most people. If consumers consider the quality of the insurance
plans as well as the message in the ads, they will benefit from the advertising.
     Each consumer must be clear about her or his own situation. Are the benefits of the product important
enough to justify buying it? Advertising is intended to appeal to consumers, but it does not force them to buy
the product. Consumers still control the final buying decision.
1. The reason why the bread advertisement is misleading is that _____.
[     ]
A. the total number of calories in the loaf remained the same
B. thin slices of bread could contain more calories
C. the loaf was cut into regular slices
D. the bread was not real bread
2. The passage tells us that _____.
[     ]
A. advertisements often force consumers into buying things they don't need
B. the buying motives of consumers are controlled by advertisements
C. sometimes advertisements really sell what the consumer needs
D. fire insurance is seldom a worthwhile investment
3. It can be inferred from the passage that a smart consumer should _____.
[     ]
A. be familiar with various advertising skills
B. think carefully about the benefits described in the advertisements
C. know the nature of advertisements is cheating
D. avoid buying products described in the advertisements
4. The passage is mainly about _____.
[     ]
A. ways to protect the interests of the consumer
B. how to make a wise buying decision
C. the function of advertisements in increasing sales
D. the positive and negative aspects of advertising

To understand the marketing concept, it is only necessary to understand the difference between marketing and selling. Not too many years ago, most industries concentrated primarily on the efficient production of goods, and then relied on “persuasive salesmanship” to move as much of these goods as possible. Such production and selling focuses on the needs of the seller to produce goods and then convert(使转换) them into money.

Marketing, on the other hand, focuses on the wants of consumers. It begins with first analyzing the preferences and demands of consumers and then producing goods that will satisfy them. This eye-on-the-consumer approach is known as the marketing concept, which simply means that instead of trying to sell whatever is easiest to produce, the makers and dealers first find out what the consumer wants to buy and then go about making it available for purchase.

This concept does not imply that business is benevolent(慈善的) or that consumer satisfaction is given priority over profit in a company. There are always two sides to every business transaction—the firm and the customer—and each must be satisfied before trade occurs. Successful merchants and producers, however, recognize that the surest route to profit is through understanding and catering to(迎合) customers. A striking example of the importance of catering to the consumer presented itself in mid-1985, when Coca Cola changed the flavor of its drink. The non-acceptance of the new flavor by a significant portion of the public brought about a prompt restoration(恢复) of the Classic Coke, which was then marketed alongside the new.

40.The marketing concept discussed in the passage is ________.

A.the practice of turning goods into money

B.making goods available for purchase

C.the customer-centered approach

D.a form of persuasive salesmanship

41. What was the main concern of industries before the marketing concept was widely accepted?

A.The needs of the market.

B.The efficiency of production.

C.The satisfaction of the user.

D.The preferences of the dealer.

42.According to the passage, “to move as much of these goods as possible” ( in Paragraph 1) means “________”.

A. to sell the largest possible quantity of goods

B.to transport goods as efficiently as possible

C.to get rid of these goods in large quantities

D.to redesign these goods for large-scale production

43.What does the restoration of the Classic Coke best prove?

A. Traditional goods have a stronger appeal to the majority of people.

B. It takes time for a new product to be accepted by the public.

C. Consumers with conservative tastes are often difficult to please.

D. Products must be designed to suit the taste of the consumer.
