6、nd achievable. But, 41 , words of wisdom are soon forgotten. Once companies have attracted customers they often 42 the second half of the story. In the excitement of beating off the competition, negotiating prices, securing orders, and delivering the product, managers 43 become carried away. They fo
7、rget what they regard as the boring side of business- 44 that the customer remains a customer. 45 to concentrate on retaining as well as attracting customers costs business huge amounts of money annually. It has been estimated that the 46 company loses between 10 and 30 percent of its customers ever
8、y year. In constantly changing 47 , this is not surprising. What is surprising is the fact that few companies have any idea how many customers they have lost.Only now are organizations beginning to wake up to these lost opportunities and calculate the 48 implications. 49 the number of customers a co
9、mpany loses can make a big 50 in its performance. Research in the US found that a five percent decrease in the number of defecting(流失的) customers led to 51 increases of between 25 and 85 percent.In the US, Dominos Pizza estimates that a regular customer is 52 more than five thousand dollars over ten
10、 years. A customer who receives a poor quality product or 53 on their first visit and 54 never returns, is losing the company thousands of dollars in 55 profits (more if you consider how many people they are likely to tell about their bad experience).The logic behind cultivating customer 56 is impos
11、sible to deny. “In practice most companies marketing effort is focused on getting customers, with little attention paid to 57 them”, says Adrian Payne of Cornfield Universitys School of Management. “Research suggests that there is a close relationship between retaining customers and making profits.
12、58 customers tend to buy more, are predictable and usually cost less to service than new customers. Furthermore, they tend to be less price 59 , and may provide free word-of-mouth advertising. Retaining customers also makes it 60 for competitors to enter a market or increase their share of a market.

George Washington Carver was a black farmer in the US. It was 1961 and I was in the fifth grade. My marks in school were miserable and
32、, the thing was, I didnt know enough to really care. My older bother and I lived with Mom in an ugly multi-family house in Detroit. We watched TV every night. The background noise of our lives was gunfire and horses hoofs(马蹄) from “Wagon Train” or “Cheyenne”, and laughter from “I Love Lucy”, or “Mis
33、ter Ed”. After supper, wed lie on Moms bed and stare for hours at the TV screen.But one day Mom changed our world forever. She turned off the TV. Our mother had only been able to get through third grade. But, she was much brighter and smarter than we boys know at the time. She had noticed something
34、in the suburban houses where she cleaned books. So she came home one day, switched off the TV, sat us down and explained that her sons were going to make something of themselves. “You boys are going to read two books every week,” she said. “And youre going to write a report on what you read.”We moan
35、ed（不满,发牢骚） and complained about how unfair it was. Besides, we didnt have any books in the house other than Moms Bible. But she explained that we would go where the books were: “Ill drive you to the library.”So pretty soon there were these two peevish（坏脾气的）boys sitting in her white 1959 Oldsmobile o
36、n their way to Detroit Public Library. I wandered reluctantly（不情愿） among the childrens books. I loved animals, so when I saw some books that seemed to be about animals, I started leafing through them.The first book I read clear through was Chip the Dam Builder. It was about beavers（河狸）. For the firs
37、t time in my life I was lost in another world. No television program had ever taken me so far away from my surroundings as did this virtue visit to a cold stream in a forest and these animals building a home.It didnt dawn on me at the time, but the experience was quite different from watching TV. Th
38、ere were images forming in my mind instead of before my eyes. And I could return to them again and again with the flip（快速翻动）of a page.Soon I began to look forward to visiting this quiet sanctuary form my other world. I moved from animals to plants, and then to rocks. Between the covers of all those
39、books were whole worlds, and I was free to go anywhere in them. Along the way a funny thing happened: I started to know things. Teachers started to notice it too. I got to the point where I couldnt wait to get home to my books.Now my older brother is an engineer and I am chief of pediatric neurosurg
40、ery(儿童神经外科)at John Hopkins Childrens Center in Baltimore. Sometimes I still cant believe my lifes journey, from a failing and indifferent student in a Detroit public school to this position, which takes me all over the world to teach and perform critical surgery.But I know when the journey began the
41、 day Mom switched off the TV set and put us in her Oldsmobile for that drive to the library.37We can learn from the beginning of the passage that _.A. the author and his brother had done well in schoolB. the author had been very concerned about his school workC. the author had spent much time watchi
42、ng TV after schoolD. the author had realized how important schooling was38Which of the following is not true about the authors family?A. He came from a middle-class family.B. He came from a single-parent family.C. His mother worked as a cleaner.D. His mother had received little education.39How did t
43、he two boys feel about going to the library at first?A. They were afraidB. They were reluctant.C. They were impatient.D. They were eager to go.40The author began to love books for the following reasons EXCEPT that _.A. he began to see something in his mindks5uB. he could visualize what he read in hi
44、s mindC. he could go back to read the books againD. he realized that books offered him new experienceWhat should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at
45、mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory sta
46、ndard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.Your
47、school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If noth
48、ing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-ti
49、me job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too goo
50、d, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic(认错的) about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.41What is the passage mainly about?AThe importance of working hard at school. BChoosing a career according to ones strengths.CHow t
51、o face ones weakness. DThe value of school work.42The writer thinks that a student to have a part-time job is probably _.A. a good way to find out his weak pointsB. one of the best ways of earning extra moneyC. of great use for his work in the futureD. a waste of time he could have spent on study43F
52、rom the passage we learn that if a students school performance is not good, he _.Ashould pay more attention to learning skills and developing abilitiesBwill be regretful about his bad resultsCmay also do well in his future workDshould restart his study in school44From the last paragraph we know one
53、should _.Amake full use of ones own weak pointsBstudy harder for a new school recordCapologize for ones own school recordDface ones own weak points bravely Spring is the time to go out and enjoy the weather and sceneryHere are some events to attend in March of 2012 in Oregon!Oregon Country Fair（OCF）
