These centers can then be networked in a manner that mai

34、ntains local autonomy, yet assembles enough economic power to challenge the dominance of transnational corporations. The goal is to build a new economy from the grassroots up - as Danaher puts it, “an economybased on life values and citizen empowerment rather than money values and corporate control.

35、“In the meantime, more Green Festivals will be taking place - in Austin, Texas, Oct. 11-12 and again in San Francisco Nov. 8-9 - and organizers hope to extend to other cities in the future. 81 What factor can best illustrate that green economy is welcomed by consumers?（A）Many big famous companies pr

The more I go into shops and hotels, ban

40、ks and post offices, railway stations, airports and the like, the more Im convinced that things are being run solely to suit the firm, the system, or the union. There seems to be an insidious motto for so called “Service“ organizations - Staff before Service. How often, for example, have you queued

41、for what seems like hours at the Post Office or the supermarket because there was not enough staff on duty to man all the service grilles or checkout counters? Surely in these days of high unemployment it must be possible to recruit cashiers and counter staff. Yet supermarkets, hinting darkly at hig

42、her prices, claim that bringing all their cash registers at any one time would increase expenses. And the Post Office says we cannot expect all their service grilles to be occupied “at times when demand is low“. Its the same with hotels. Because waiters and kitchen staff must finish when it suits th

43、em, dining rooms close earlier or menu choice is curtailed. As for us guests (and how the meaning of that word has been whittled away), we just have to put up with it.

Not to mention the creeping menace of the tea making kit in your room: a kettle with an assortment of teabags, plastic milk cartons and lump sugar. Who wants to wake up to a raw teabag? I dont, especially

45、when I am paying for “service“.Can it be halted, this erosion of service, this growing attitude that the customer is always a nuisance? I fervently hope so because its happening, sadly, in all walks of life. Our only hope is to hammer home our indignation whenever and wherever we can and, if all els

46、e fails, bring back into use that other, older slogan, and Take Our Custom Elsewhere.85 The writer feels that nowadays a customer is _.（A）the recipient of privileged treatment（B） unworthy of proper consideration（C） classified by society as inferior（D）the victim of modern organizations86 In the write

47、rs opinion, the quality of service is changing because _.（A）the customers demands have changed（B） the staff receive more consideration than the customers（C） the customers needs have increased（D）the staff are less considerate than their employers87 Service organizations claim that keeping checkout co

48、unters manned would result in _.（A）a rise in the price for providing services（B） demands by cashiers for more money（C） insignificant benefits for the customers（D）the need to purchase expensive equipment88 The disappearance of old style hotel porters can be attributed to the fact that _.（A）few people
