But, 41 , words of wisdom are soon forgotten. Once panies have attracted customers they often 42 the second half of the story. In the excitement of beating off the petition, negotiating prices, securing orders, and delivering the product, managers 43 bee carried away. They forget what they regard as the boring side of business--- 44 that the customer remains a customer. 45 to concentrate on retaining as well as attracting customers costs business huge amounts of money annually. It has been estimated that the 46 pany loses between 10 and 30 percent of its customers every year. In constantly changing 47 , this is not surprising. What is surprising is the fact that few panies have any idea how many customers they have lost. Only now are organizations beginning to wake up to these lost opportunities and calculate the 48 implications. 49 the number of customers a pany loses can make a big 50 in its performance. Research in the US found that a five percent decrease in the number of defecting(流失的) customers led to 51 increases of between 25 and 85 percent. In the US, Domino’s Pizza estimates that a regular customer is 52 more than five thousand dollars over ten years. A customer who receives a poor quality product or 53 on their first visit and 54 never returns, is losing the pany thousands of dollars in 55 profits (more if you consider how many people they are likely to tell about their bad experience). The logic behind cultivating customer 56 is impossible to deny. “In practice most panies’ marketing effort is focused on getting customers, with little attention paid to 57 them”, says Adrian Payne of Cornfield University’s School of Management. “Research suggests that there is a close relationship between retaining customers and making profits. 58 customers tend to buy more, are predictable and usually cost less to service than new customers. Furthermore, they tend to be less price 59 , and may provide free word-of-mouth advertising. Retaining customers also makes it 60 for petitors to enter a market or increase their share of a market.” 11．A. in particular B. in reality C. at least D. first of all 12．A. emphasize B. doubt C. overlook D. believe 13．A. tend to B. contribute to C. appeal to D. devote to 14．A. denying B. ensuring C. arguing D. proving 15．A. Moving B. Hoping C. Starting D. Failing 16．A. average B. ordinary C. normal D. usual 17．A. markets B. tastes C. prices D. expenses 18．A. cultural B. social C. financial D. economical 19．A. Cutting up B. Cutting through C. Cutting in D. Cutting down 20．A. promise B. plan C. mistake D. difference 21．A. cost B. opportunity C. profit D. budget 22．A. worthy B. worth C. value D. price 23．A. service B. delivery C. order D. promotion 24．A. as a result B. on the whole C. in conclusion D. on the contrary 25．A. huge B. potential C. extra D. reasonable 26．A. beliefs B. loyalty C. interest D. habits 27．A. altering B. understanding C. keeping D. attracting 28．A. Established B. Assumed C. Respected D. Unexpected 29．A. Sensitive B. friendly C. flexible D. agreeable 30．A. unfair B. convenient C. difficult D. essential 三、閱讀理解 Homestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home. What to Expect The host will provide acmodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health. Acmodation Zones Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones2,3 and 4 of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town center as much of central London is mercial and not residential（居住的）.Zones3 and 4often offer larger acmodation in a less crowed area. It is very convenient to travel in London by Underground. Meal Plans Available ? Continental Breakfast ? Breakfast and Dinner ? Breakfast, Packed Lunch and Dinner It’s important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast.Your acmodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal (谷物類食品), bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by desert, fruit and coffee. Friends If you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host’s permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy. Self-Catering Acmodation in Private Homes Acmodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of acmodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practice English at home quite as much. 31．What can be inferred from Paragraph3?

My marks in school were miserable and, the thing was, I didn’t know enough to really care. My older bother and I lived with Mom in an ugly multi-family house in Detroit. We watched TV every night. The background noise of our lives was gunfire and horses’ hoofs(馬蹄) from “Wagon Train” or “Cheyenne”, and laughter from “I Love Lucy”, or “Mister Ed”. After supper, we’d lie on Mom’s bed and stare for hours at the TV screen. But one day Mom changed our world forever. She turned off the TV. Our mother had only been able to get through third grade. But, she was much brighter and smarter than we boys know at the time. She had noticed something in the suburban houses where she cleaned books. So she came home one day, switched off the TV, sat us down and explained that her sons were going to make something of themselves. “You boys are going to read two books every week,” she said. “And you’re going to write a report on what you read.” We moaned（不滿,發(fā)牢騷） and plained about how unfair it was. Besides, we didn’t have any books in the house other than Mom’s Bible. But she explained that we would go where the books were: “I’ll drive you to the library.” So pretty soon there were these two peevish（壞脾氣的）boys sitting in her white 1959 Oldsmobile on their way to Detroit Public Library. I wandered reluctantly（不情愿） among the children’s books. I loved animals, so when I saw some books that seemed to be about animals, I started leafing through them. The first book I read clear through was Chip the Dam Builder. It was about beavers（河貍）. For the first time in my life I was lost in another world. No television program had ever taken me so far away from my surroundings as did this virtue visit to a cold stream in a forest and these animals building a home. It didn’t dawn on me at the time, but the experience was quite different from watching TV. There were images forming in my mind instead of before my eyes. And I could return to them again and again with the flip（快速翻動）of a page. Soon I began to look forward to visiting this quiet sanctuary form my other world. I moved from animals to plants, and then to rocks. Between the covers of all those books were whole worlds, and I was free to go anywhere in them. Along the way a funny thing happened: I started to know things. Teachers started to notice it too. I got to the point where I couldn’t wait to get home to my books. Now my older brother is an engineer and I am chief of pediatric neurosurgery(兒童神經(jīng)外科)at John Hopkins Children’s Center in Baltimore. Sometimes I still can’t believe my life’s journey, from a failing and indifferent student in a Detroit public school to this position, which takes me all over the world to teach and perform critical surgery. But I know when the journey began the day Mom switched off the TV set and put us in her Oldsmobile for that drive to the library. 37．We can learn from the beginning of the passage that ___________. A. the author and his brother had done well in school B. the author had been very concerned about his school work C. the author had spent much time watching TV after school D. the author had realized how important schooling was 38．Which of the following is not true about the author’s family?

His mother had received little education. 39．How did the two boys feel about going to the library at first? A. They were afraid B. They were reluctant. C. They were impatient. D. They were eager to go. 40．The author began to love books for the following reasons EXCEPT that ___________.

You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs. Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may bee interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job. Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic(認錯的) about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work. 41．What is the passage mainly about? A．The importance of working hard at school. B．Choosing a career according to one’s strengths. C．How to face one’s weakness. D．The value of school work. 42．The writer thinks that a student to have a part-time job is probably ___. A. a good way to find out his weak points B. one of the best ways of earning extra money C. of great use for his work in the future D. a waste of time he could have spent on study 43．From the passage we learn that if a student’s school performance is not good, he ___________. A．should pay more attention to learning skills and developing abilities B．will be regretful about his bad results C．may also do well in his future work D．should restart his study in school 44．From the last paragraph we know one should _________. A．make full use of one’s own weak points B．study harder for a new school record C．a(chǎn)pologize for one’s own school record D．face one’s own weak points bravely Spring is the time to go out and enjoy the weather and scenery．Here are some events to attend in March of 2012 in Oregon!
