24、l detective in a ritzy down-town Calgary hotel. The hotel insisted that every one of us who had contact with their customers know the customer by his full name and, when possible, other personal or business information about him. When you can show concern about what matters to your customer, and you

25、 can bet on it, youve just acquired a customer for life. pause Speaker Two Woman: We should provide true customer service. In todays market environment, service has become a cliche and it seems like “everyones doing it“. So, if everyone is doing it, why not jump ahead of the wolf pack by providing e

26、ven more creative, personalized services to your customers than your competitors can? Nor is one type of customer service suitable for all your customers. Lets say your advertised featured customer service is Home Delivery. The first customer may welcome this Home Delivery because its difficult for

27、him to get out and shop in person.

In the long run, my bottom line will thank myself for having made this choice. pause Speaker Four Woman: We should educate our staff to be equally as concerned about our customers as we are.

30、 store and asked the young summer student clerk for some rubber cement. “You mean, a tire patching kit?“ “No,“ I repeated. “I want a bottle of rubber cement. “ The kid obviously didnt have a clue what I was talking about. However, rather than finding out what rubber cement is, he gave me a strange l

31、ook, then turned his back and went on to serve another customer. Needless to say, after that incident I took all my hardware business elsewhere. pause Speaker Five Man: We should remember “The customer is always right. “ If a customer comes to you about a complaint, be very serious about how you han

32、dle it. Is the customer upset and angry? First, I calm him with words and action and show that I am serious about doing something to correct the problem. Even if it is obvious that hes wrong, sometimes its better for repeat business to take the loss and compensate the customer. Then, when my custome

33、r is satisfied that his complaint has been properly addressed, thank him for bringing the problem to my attentioa Remember, no amount of advertising can repair the damage done by failing to properly address a customers concern. pause Now listen to the recording again. pause That is the end of Part T

Is it time for you to invest? Joseph Peterson is here now to tell us why he thinks you may not want to take a sh

40、ine to this metal. Joseph? Man: Barbara, theres been a flurry lately in that glittering, glamorous, voluptuous metal gold. Its price has run up from just over $ 250 an ounce last autumn to just over $ 300 early this past week. So, is gold a good investment? No. In fact, few investments have behaved

41、so poorly over the years. I recall when gold in 1980 rocketed to $ 873 an ounce. It quickly slid from that arrogant peak, and for several years has been hovering between a nebbish $ 250 and $ 300. Since gold is way down since 1980 and the price of just about everything else is up, gold doesnt even r

42、ate as a respectable hedge against inflation. But if you do insist on buying gold, youll have several choices. Hard-core pessimists who have no faith in any currency would prefer gold bars as an investment; “ingot“ they trust. The trouble is gold bars pay no dividends, but you have to pay for storag

43、e and insurance. Better than bars are one-ounce gold coins. The trouble is you have to pay more than their gold content is worth and sales taxes on top of that. You may be best off with shares in a diversity of South African and North American mining companies. But mining stocks are typically even m

44、ore volatile than the metal itself, rising and falling much more than the price of gold. And gold mutual funds can be as unstable as nitroglycerine. Whatever you buy, gold stocks or gold mutual funds or gold metal, many analysts say that your purchase should be only a relatively modest share, perhap

45、s no more than 5 per cent of a well-diversified investment portfolio. Barbara? Woman: Joseph, should we buy gold jewelry? Man: Of course, buy it for the love of your life. Its a thing of beauty for you to wear and enjoy. But dont buy it expecting some day it will sell for a higher price. It wont. Wo

46、man: OK. A good time of year for that advice, too. Joseph Peterson, thanks very much. pause Now listen to the recording again. pause Thats the end of Part Three. You now have ten minutes to transfer your answers to your answer sheet. pause 23 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 此题是对文章细 节的提问。题干问的是上周金价为多少，根据听力原文可得，答案为 B。

48、【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 听力原文中提到： The trouble is youhave to pay more than their gold content isworth and sales taxes on top of that，故答案为 A。 28 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 此题可采用排除法。听力原文中提到 ： mining stocks are typically even more volatilethan the metal itself， rising and falling muchmore than the price of gold And gold mu

49、tualfunds can be as unstable as nitroglycerine，意思是金属债券比金属本身还容易受影响，比金价还上下波动。而黄金类基金就像炸药一样不稳定。故此题选择 C。 29 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 此题 是对文章细节的提问，听力材料中提到： dont buy it expecting some day it willsell for a higher price，故答案为 B。 30 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 听力原文中提到： buy it for the love ofyour life Its a thing of beauty for you to wearand enjoy，说明购买黄金首饰的目的在于自己喜欢或者是出于美丽的需要，因此，可得选项 C不是购买黄金首饰的原由。因此，这里答案应为 C。
