University teachers have been encouraged, and in some cases compelled, to provide more courses which produce graduates with the technical skills required for the commerc

11、ain and develop its economic growth but “man“, as the Bible says, “does not live by bread alone.“ Apart from requiring medical and social services, which do not directly contribute to economic growth, the society should also value and enjoy literature, music and the arts.

18、ing concept, it is only necessary to understand the difference between marketing and selling.

Such production
19、and selling focuses on the needs of the seller to produce goods and then convert 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-
20、consumer approach is known as the marketing concept, which simply means that instead of trying to sell whatever is easiest to produce or buy for resale, the makers and dealers first endeavor to find out what the consumer wants to buy and then go about making it available for purchase. This concept d
21、oes 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 transactionthe firm and the customerand each must be satisfied before trade occurs. Successful merchants and producers, however, reco
22、gnize that the surest route to profit is through understanding and catering to 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 part of the p

In fact, it is sai
28、d that the wise and knowing Confucius had a 600-book library specifically on how to care for roses. The rose is a legend on its own. The story goes that during the Roman Empire, there was a beautiful girl named Rhodanthe. Her beauty drew many suitors (求婚者). Exhausted by their pursuit, Rhodanthe was
29、forced to hide in the temple of her friend Diana to stay away from her suitors. Unfortunately, Diana became jealous. And when the suitors broke down her temple gates to get near their beloved Rhodanthe, she became angry, turning Rhodanthe into a rose and her suitors into thorns. In Greek legend, the
30、 rose was created by Chloris, the Greek goddess of flowers. It was just a lifeless seed that Chloris found one day in a clearing in the woods. She asked Aphrodite, the goddess of love, to give her beauty, Dionysus, the god of wine, to give her a sweet scent (气味), and the three Graces to give her cha
31、rm, brightness and joy. Then Zephyr, the West Wind, blew away the clouds so that Apollo, the sun god, could shine and make this flower blossom. And so the rose was born and was immediately called the Queen of Flowers. The first true primary red rose seen in Europe was introduced in 1792 from China,
32、where it had been growing wild in the mountains. Immediately, rose breeders began using it to make a hybrid (杂交品种). Absolute perfection still hasn“t been gained, and of course never will! There is a special rose language invented as a secret means of communication between lovers who were not allowed
33、 to express their love for one another openly. In the mid-18th century the wife of the British ambassador in Constantinople described this in her letters, which were published after her death. These letters inspired many books on the language of flowers, each describing the secret message hidden in
34、each flower. A red rose bud (花蕾) stands for secret affection, an open white rose asks “Will you love me?“, an open red rose means “I“m full of love and desire“, while an open yellow rose asks “Don“t you love me anymore?“（分数：15.00）(1).The author takes Confucius as an example in Para. 1 to show _.（分数：
