7、sumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some 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 doe
8、s 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 to, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such
9、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
10、 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 s
11、peaker 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 possibl
12、e. 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.（分数：5.00）(1).When a consumer finds that his p

Record high prices an
17、d the recent economic recession have taken away some of the glitter of gold. The country“s passion for gold is rooted in culture and custom. Gold ornaments (装饰品) are a traditional wedding present to brides and a gift of the precious metal during their religious festivals means good fortune. It is a
18、traditional gift on other important occasions, such as the birth of a child. But shop owners say now they only see “essential customers“those who have to buy for the marriage of a son or a daughter. Even these buyers are scaling back on purchases. Some are passing on traditional hereditary (遗传的) tre
19、asures, instead of buying new gold. Others are cutting back on the quantity of gold they buy and opting for ornaments of lesser weight. Gold is getting hit not just by the surging prices.

It might lead you to believe that there are fewer rules to observe. But it is a wrong idea that there is a casual attitude in forei
26、gn companies. Simply because your boss seems polite and easygoing it doesn“t mean you can take advantage of his or her good nature. Western managers like to appear to be friendly.
