This is why banks and travel services are willing to provide this convenience.　 It is convenient for the travellers to travel around the world as many banks and travel services issue travellers' checks. 2.

25. 14. 阅读理解：根据文章内容，把每一段和其所谈论的话题相匹配（每题10分）。 Customer Service The American idea of customer service is to make each customer the center of attention. And wherever you go, good customer service means making customers feel special. 2. When customers get to a store, they are treated as honored guests. Customers don’t usually find store clerks sitting around watching TV or playing cards. Instead, the clerks greet them warmly and offer to help them find what they want. Customers usually don’t have to ask how much items cost, since prices are clearly marked. 3. When customers are ready to checkout, they can go to the nearest and shortest checkout lane. Good stores open new checkout lanes when the line ups get too long. Some even offer express lanes for customers with 10 items or less. After they pay for their purchases, customers receive a smile and a warm “thank you and have a nice day” from the clerk. 4. In America, customer service continues long after the sale. Many products come with a money-back guarantee. Expensive items like cars, computers or stereos often have a warranty that ensures trouble-free use for a period of a year or more. Advertisements regularly include the motto, “Your satisfaction is guaranteed”. So if there is a problem with the product, customers can take it back. The customer service representative will often allow them to exchange the item or return it for a full refund. 5. Customer service in America grows out of the belief that “the customer is always right”. If a person receives poor service from a store, he probably will avoid shopping there in the future. On the other hand, customers often remain loyal to a business that has excellent service even if their prices are high.

27. 16. 阅读理解：根据文章内容，判断正误（每题10分）。 The Feel Good Factor in Customer Service 　　A challenge in working in customer service is to ensure that you have focused your attention on the right key areas, measured by the right Key Performance Indicator (KPI). One of the most important aspects of a customer service KPI is what is often referred to as the “Feel Good Factor”. Basically the goal is not only to help the customer have a good experience, but to offer an experience that exceeds expectations. Several key points are listed as follows: 　　Know what products/service you are offering from back to front. In other words, be an information expert. It is okay to say “I don’t know”, but it should always be followed up by “but let me find out” or possibly “but this person will be able to assist you”. Whatever the situation may be, make sure that you don’t leave your customer with an unanswered question. 　　Most of the communication that you relay to others is done through body language. If you have negative body language when you communicate with others, it shows that you don't care. Two of the most important aspects of positive body language are smiling and eye contact. Make sure to look your customers in the eye. It shows that we are listening to them and hearing what they are saying. And of course smiling is more inviting than a blank look or frown. 　　Nothing surprises your customers more than an employee going the extra mile to help them. Always look for ways to go above and beyond the expectations of your customers. In doing so, it helps them to know that you care and it will leave them with the “Feel Good Factor” that you are searching for. The goal of customer service is to give customers an experience that meets their expectations. 2. Leave your customer with an unanswered question is unacceptable. 3. Both positive body language and negative body language are necessary in customer service. 4. Eye contact is one of the most important aspects of positive body language. 5. The underlined “going the extra mile to help them” in the last paragraph means “going a long way to help them”.

56. 6. 阅读理解：根据文章内容，判断正误（每题10分）。 Successful Team Work and Team Building 　　Team building skills are critical for your effectiveness as a manager or entrepreneur. And even if you are not in a management or leadership role yet, better understanding of team work can make you a more effective employee and give you an extra edge in your corporate office. 　　Team building success is when your team can accomplish something much bigger and work more effectively than a group of the same individuals working on their own. There are two critical factors in building a high performance team. 　　The first factor in team effectiveness is the diversity of skills and personalities. It means people use their strengths in full, but can compensate for each other's weaknesses. Or, different personality types balance and complement each other. 　　The other critical element of team work success is that all the team efforts are directed towards the same clear goals, the team goals. This relies heavily on good communication in the team and harmony in member relationships. 　　In real life, team work success rarely happens by itself if there are no focused team building efforts or activities. There is simply too much room for problems. For example, different personalities may build up conflicts. Or even worse, some people with similar personalities may start fighting for authority and dominance in certain areas of expertise. Even if the team goals are clear and accepted by everyone, there may be no team commitment to the group goals, or no consensus on the means of achieving those goals. There may be a lack of trust and openness which may block the critical communication and lead to loss of coordination in the individual efforts. This is why every team needs a good leader who is able to deal with all team work issues. Team building skills are not so critical if you are only an employee. 2. To form a high performance team, you need many important factors. 3. A good team should have a diversity of personalities. 4. Team work success is quite common in practice. 5. To solve all the problems, you need a capable leader.

74. 6. 阅读理解：根据文章内容，选择正确答案（每题10分）。 Organizing a Business in Different Ways 　　Businesses are structured in different ways to meet different needs. The simplest form of business is called an individual or sole proprietorship. The proprietor owns all of the property of the business and is responsible for everything. 　　Another kind of business is a partnership. Two or more people go into business together. An agreement is usually needed to decide how much of the partnership each person controls. One kind of partnership is called a limited liability partnership. These have full partners and limited partners. Limited partners may not share as much in the profits, but they also have less responsibility for the business. Doctors, lawyers and accountants often form partnerships to share their risks and profits. A husband and wife can form a business partnership together. Partnerships exist only for as long as the owners remain alive. The same is true of individual proprietorships. 　　But corporations are designed to have an unlimited lifetime. A corporation is the most complex kind of business organization. Corporations can sell stock as a way to raise money. Stocks represent shares of ownership in a company. Investors who buy stock can trade their shares or keep them as long as the company is in business. 　　A corporation is recognized as an entity—its own legal being, separate from its owners. A board of directors controls corporate policies. The directors appoint top company officers. The directors might or might not hold shares in the corporation. Corporations can have a few major shareholders, or ownership can be spread among the general public. But not all corporations are traditional businesses that sell stock. Some non-profit groups are also organized as corporations. This passage is mainly about . A. why different forms of business run B. when different forms of business raise money C. how different forms of business are organized 2. What is usually needed to decide the portion of the partnership each person controls? A. A rule. B. An agreement. C. A regulation. 3. Who are not included in limited liability partnerships? A.
