The resulting “snowball effect” can be disastrous to retailers.According to the research, shoppers who purchased clothing encountered the most problems. Ranked second and third were grocery and electronics customers.The most mon plaints include filled parking lots, cluttered(塞满了的) shelves, overloaded racks, out-of-stock items, long check-out lines, and rude salespeople.During peak shopping hours, some retailers solved the parking problems by getting moonlighting local police to work as parking attendants. Some hired flag wavers to direct customers to empty peaking spaces. This guidance got rid of the need for customers to circle the parking lot endlessly, and avoided confrontation between those eyeing the same parking space.Retailers can relieve the headaches by redesigning store layouts, pre-stocking sales items, hiring speedy and experienced cashiers, and having sales representatives on hand to answer questions. Most importantly, salespeople should be diplomatic and polite with angry customers.“Retailers whore responsive and friendly are more likely to smooth over issues than those who arent so friendly.” Said professor Stephen Hoch. “Maybe something as simple as a greeter at the store entrance would help.”Customers can also improve future shopping experiences by filing plaints to the retailer, instead of plaining to the rest of the world. Retailers are hard-pressed to improve when they have no idea what is wrong.63. Why are store managers often the last to hear plaints?A. Few customers believe the service will be improved.B. Customers would rather relate their unhappy experiences to people around them.C. Customers have no easy access to store managers.D. Most customers wont bother to plain even if they have had unhappy experiences.64.

Design of the store layout. B. Hiring of efficient employees.C. Manners of the salespeople. D. Huge supply of goods for sale.66.To achieve better shopping experiences, customers are advised to .A. voice their dissatisfaction to store managers directlyB. shop around and make parisons between storesC. settle their disputes with stores in a diplomatic wayD. put pressure on stores to improve their serviceDIn the early days of nuclear power, the United States make money on it. But today opponents (反对者) have so plicated its development that no nuclear plants have been ordered or built here in 12 years.The greatest fear of nuclear power opponents has always been a reactor “meltdown”. Today, the chances of a meltdown that would threaten U.S. public health are very little. But to even further reduce the possibility, engineers are testing new reactors that rely not on human judgment to shut them down but on the laws of nature. Now General Electric is already building two advanced reactors in Japan. But dont expect them even on U.S. shores unless things change in Washington. The procedure for licensing nuclear power plants is a bad dream. Any time during, or even after, construction, an objection by any group or individual can bring everything to a stop while the matter is investigated or taken to court. Meanwhile, the builder must add nicebutnotnecessary improvements, some of which force him to knock down walls and start over. In every case when a plant has been opposed, the Nuclear Regulation mission has ultimately granted a license to construct or operate. But the victory often costs so much that the utility ends up abandoning the plant anyway.A case in point is the Shoreham plant on New Yorks Long Island. Shoreham was a virtual twin to the Millstone plant in Connecticut, both ordered in the mid-60s. Millstone, pleted for 101 million, has been generating electricity for two decades. Shoreham, however, was singled out by antinuclear activists who, by sending in endless protests, drove the cost over $5 billion and delayed its use for many years.Shoreham finally won its operation license. But the plant has never produced a watt power. Governor Mario Cuomo, an opponent of a Shoreham start-up, used his power to force New Yorks public-utilities mission to accept the following settlement: the power pany could pass the cost of Shoreham along to its consumers only if it agreed not to operate the plant. Today, a perfectly good facility, capable of servicing hundreds of thousands of homes, sits rusting.67. The authors attitude toward the development of nuclear power is _.A. negative B. neutral C. positive D. questioning 68. What has made the procedure for licensing nuclear power plants a bad dream?A. The inefficiency of the Nuclear Regulation mission.B. The enormous cost of construction and operation.C. The length of time it takes to make investigations.D. The objection of the opponents of nuclear power.69. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that _.A. there are not enough safety measures in the U.S. for running new nuclear power plantsB. it is not technical difficulties that prevent the building of nuclear power plants in the U.S.C. there are already more nuclear power plants than necessary in the U.S.D. the American government will not allow Japanese nuclear reactors to be installed in the U.S.70. Governor Mario Cuomos chief intention in proposing the settlement was to _.A. stop the Shoreham plant from going into operationB. urge the power pany to further increase its power supplyC. permit the Shoreham plant to operate under certain conditionsD. help the power pany to solve its financial problems第四部分 任务型阅读（共10个小题，每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据短文的内容要点完成文章后的表格。注意：补全填空应符合语法和搭配要求，每空只填一个单词。Happiness is U-shaped, for we are happier at the start and end of our lives but hit a slump when we are middle-aged, British and US researchers say.Economists from the University of Warwick, central England, and from Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, looked at data on the mental health of two million people from 80 countries.In Britain, the probability of depression for men and women peaks at around 44 years of age, Warwick University said in a press release.In the United States, though, there was a big difference between men and women.Among women, unhappiness peaked at around the age of 40, whereas among men, it was about 50.But the U-shape of happiness is constant around the world, and mid-life depression takes place regardless of marital status, changes in job or ine.The study appears in Social Science & Medicine, published by the Dutch publishing house Elsevier.It happens to men and women ,to single and married people, to rich and poor and to those with and without children. said co-author Andrew Oswald.One possibility may be that people realize theywont achieve many of their aspirations at middle age, the researchers said.Another reason could be that after seeing their fellow middle-aged peers begin to die, people begin to value their own remaining years and embrace life once more.But the good news is that if people make it to aged 70 and are still physically fit, they are on average as happy and mentally healthy as a 20-year old.For the average persons in the modern world, the dip in mental health and happiness es on slowly, not suddenly in a single year, Oswald said. Only in their fifties do people emerge from this low period,Title: People happiest at start and end of lives, but slump in middleThemeHappiness is in the (71) of U, for we are happier when are young and old but unhappy when we are middle-aged.FindingsFor (72) men and women, depression is most (73) to peak when they are about 44 years old.For American people, men and women are very (74) . Most women feel (75) at around the age of 40. Among men, unhappiness peaks at about 50.The U-shape of happiness is constant ar
