You will be reading the (40) 5 and important words that you looked at in the (41) 6, but this time you will read the examples and (42) 7 as well. Sometimes it is useful to take notes w

43、空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_七、Reading Comprehensio(总题数：2，分数：355.00)Is the customer always right? The answer, it seems, depends on which country you are in. Shopping is very much a part of a countrys culture, and attitudes to shopping and consumers vary from country to country just as much as climate or tast

44、e in food. From the air-conditioned order of American malls to the anarchy(混乱,无秩序) of African bazaars(集市) , the way we shop shows the way we see ourselves and our relationships with other people. Recent economic hardship has given the consumer increased power in Europe as retailers(零售商) fight to win

45、 their share of reduced disposable (可任意使用的) income. This has meant falling prices, plenty of special offers and a re-examination of what customer service really means.

46、waiters compliment(称赞) you on your clothes, ask about your day, compliment you on the wisdom of your order and then return every ten minutes to refill your glass and make sure that everything is to your satisfaction.

47、uch attention, but do Europeans really want US style service? As a friend of mine once told me, “By the end of the evening I had spent as much time talking to the waiter as to my wife. “ It is a question of expectations. Different nationalities expect different types of service. Attitudes to service

48、 are, of course, affected by employers attitudes to their workers. As American sales and service personnel are heavily reliant(依赖) on commission and tips, they have more incentive(动机) to provide more service. But is this fair? Do we think it is fair to ask shop assistants to work late evenings, Sundays and 12 hour shifts? Does it fit in with our picture of society? It might not be a case of “Is the customer always right?“ but a case of “How much service is it fair to expect?“ （分数：177.50）(1).The Euro
