　　When a consumer finds that what she or he bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to the manufacturer's claim for it, the first step is to present the warranty(保单), or any other records which might help, at the store of purchase．In most cases, this action will produce results．However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction．

　　A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager．In general, the "higher up" the consumer takes his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled．In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer's favor, assuming he or she has a just claim．

　　Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter．

　　Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question．If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements．For example, "The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear" is better than "This stereo(立体声音响)does not work．"

　　The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer．If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible．But if a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go a step further．She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumers' rights．

　 Cooks around the globe like it; housewives have used it for centuries to add flavor to their cooking and grandmothers have always had some doubt about what our science has found out about it. Chinese garlic(大蒜) is a wonder drug.

　　　 Garlic is one of the most effective and common medicines for the common cold. The best way to eat it is in hot soup, but another interesting way is to put some slices of raw garlic over bread. It helps clear up the nose as well as decongesting (解除充血) the chest. In fact, a slice of raw garlic eaten every day keeps almost all illness away. But most of us are quite afraid of its strong smell so we do not take this seriously.

　　　 There is a word of caution, however. Since it is a warming and drying herb, people with a hot body should use it carefully. For some people, garlic may cause stomach pains or some other problems. Also in many cases, garlic has been known to make conditions like sleeplessness even worse. It can affect the mind and concentration, so garlic is best avoided for people performing activities that require concentration. People who easily get angry or have a red face should use garlic carefully.

　　　 In many cases, garlic may cause heat in the body. Also, because it has such strong chemical elements, some people simply cannot stand it.

　　　 Another point of caution is that since it is a blood-thinning agent, patients are advised to consult their doctors before they start taking garlic in regular quantities. In a healthy person, its intake can keep a person free of all kinds of physical discomfort over a long period of time.
