　　To understand the marketing concept，it is only necessary to understand the difference be—tween marketing and selling.Not too many years ago，most industries concentrated primarily onthe efficient production of goods，and then relied on“Persuasive salesmanship”to move asmuch of these goods as possible.Such production and selling focuses on the needs of the sellerto produce goods and then convert them into money.

　　Marketing，On the other hand，focuses on the wants of consumers.It begins with first analy zing the preferences and demands of consumers and then producing goods that will satisfythem.This eye on the consumer approach is known as the marketing concept，which sireplymeans that instead of trying to sell whatever is easiest to produce or：buy for resale，the makersand dealers first try to.find out what the consumer wants to buy and then go aleIout making it ac-cording to consumer demand.

　　This concept does not imply that consumer satisfaction is given priority over profit in a como pany.There are always two sides to every business activity-the finn and the customer-and，each must be satisfied before bade OCCURS.Successful merchants and producers，however，recog-nize that the surest route to profit is through understanding customers.This concept has been rec-ognized in such slogalls as“Have It Your Way.”And“You're the Boss.”A good example of theinlpoltaJlce of satisfying the consumer presented it self in mid一1985，when Coca Cola changed theflavor of its drink.The non-acceptahoe of the new flavor by a significant potion of the pubhebrought about a quick restoration of the Classic Coke，which Was then marketed alongside the newKing Customer ruled!

　　49、根據(jù)下列短文，回答49-68題。

　　If women are mercilessly exploited(剝削)year after year，they are only themselves to blame.Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out offashion,thev are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores.Clothes whichhaye been wom only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion.Whenyou come to think of it。only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe(衣柜)Dacked full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.

　　Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste.Many womenspend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn.Women whocannot afford to throw away clothing in this way，waste hours of their time altering the dresses　they have.Skirts are lengthened or shortened;necklines are lowered or raised，and so on.

　　No one can claim’that the fashion industry contributes anything realb important to society.Fashion desihners are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth，comfort and durability(耐用).They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact thatwomen will put up with any amount of discomfort，as long as they look right.There can hardlybe a man who hasn't at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thindress on a winter day，delicately picking her way through deep snow in high—heeled shoes.

　　When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion the conclusions—to be drawn areobvious.Do the constantly changing fashion of women’s clothes，one wonders，reflect basic quali-ties of inconstancv and instability?Men are too clever to let themselves be treated by fashion de-signers.Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stabilihy and feasibility?That's for you to decide.

　　Designers and big stores always make money_________.

　　C.comfort

　　D.suitability

　　53、根據(jù)下列短文，回答53-72題。

　　Climate.more than any other single factor，determines the distribution of life on earth.Cli-matic boundaries establish the limits which organisms can survive.Plants，even more than ani-mals.must be well adapted to climate in order to survive.They cannot move about or take shel-ter but must be equipped to endure whatever weather conditions are likely to Occur.In the harsh conditions of the tundra，for example，low growing mosses，lichens，and a few flowering plants allhug the ground for shelter from icy winds.

　　Animals，despite their ability to move about and find shelter，are just as much influenced　by climate as plants are.Creatures such as the camel and the penguin are so highly specializedthat they have an extremely limited distribution。Others，such as bears are flexible"enough to a.dapt to a broad range of climates.Oceandwelling organisms are just as sensitive to climaticchanges--in this case temperature and salinity--as land animals.Reef corals can survive onlyin clear warm seawater.Certain foraminifers are so sensitive to changes in their environmentthat their presence can be taken as an index of sea temperature.Human beings are among theleast specialized of all animals and can live almost anywhere.Their clothes and their homes actas a sort of“miniature climate”that Can be taken with them everywhere.
