Many of us already know about several American superstitions(迷信). Having a black cat cross your path, walking under a ladder, and breaking a mirror are all bad luck. In addition to these, there are many other superstitions that are worth knowing. Understanding them will keep you safe from evil spirits—if you believe in such things—and impress your American friends when you mention them.
Like the superstitions in other cultures, American superstitions often involve the things important in daily life, such as health, numbers, and marriage. For example, have you ever had a cough that would not go away? According to one American superstition, you should take a piece of your hair and put it between two slices of buttered bread. Next, feed this hair sandwich to a dog and say, “Eat well, you hound, may you be sick and I be sound.”This will trick the evil spirits and help your cough. It will also raise some eyebrows if you try it.
In American superstitions, the number three is very important. Often, Americans will say, “All things come in threes.” Three is lucky because it represents the traditional family: mother, father, and child. Therefore, gifts, letters, and guests will often arrive at your home in groups of three. However, it is also possible for bad events, like accidents and funerals, to come in threes as well.
Another time people pay attention to superstitions is when they get married. During a wedding, brides must wear or carry“something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.”The old and borrowed things will bring luck to the person who gives them to the bride. The new and blue things will bring good fortune to the bride herself. The next time someone you know is getting married, be sure to recite this phrase.
As it would be unlucky to discuss one more superstition, we will wind things up here. Keep your fingers crossed, and stay lucky!

A.American’s Bad LuckB.Cross-culture and Superstitions

小题2:The underlined sentence in the second paragraph“It will also raise some eyebrows if you try it”means:       .
A.When you try it, the dog will raise its eyebrows
B.You will make some people surprised when you try this trick
C.Only if you raise your eyebrows can the trick work
D.You will believe in the trick after you try it
小题3:In American’s view, the number three is a(n)       number.
A.luckyB.unluckyC.specialD.ordinary
小题4:On the wedding, the bride often uses old and borrowed things so as to       .
A.save some money for the wedding
B.bring good luck to the people who give them to the bride
C.give the good luck to the bride herself
D.pass the bad luck to others

Massachusetts (美国一州名) became the first state in the nation to ban the dumping (倾倒;抛弃) of electronic equipment such as computer monitors and television sets. It means people there can no longer put computer monitors, TV sets and other devices containing glass picture tubes out on the street for pickup by garbage cleaners.

To understand the marketing concept, it is only necessary to understand the difference between marketing and selling. Not too many years ago, most industries concentrated primarily on the efficient production of goods, and then relied on "persuasive salesmanship" to move as much of these goods as possible. Such production and selling focuses on the needs of the seller to produce goods and then convert them into money.
Marketing, on the other hand, focuses on the wants of consumers. It begins with first analyzing the preferences and demands of consumers and then producing goods that will satisfy them. This eye - on - the - consumer approach is known as the marketing concept, which simply means that instead of trying to sell whatever is easiest to produce or buy for resale, the makers and dealers first endeavor to find out what the consumer wants to buy and then go about making it available for purchase.
This concept does not imply that business is benevolent(慈善的) or that consumer satisfaction is given priority over profit in a company. There are always two sides to every business transaction -- the firm and the customer -- and each must be satisfied before trade occurs. Successful merchants and producers, however, recognize that the surest route to profit is through understanding and meeting to customers. A striking example of the importance of meeting to the consumer presented itself in mid - 1985, when Coca Cola changed the flavor of its drink. The non - acceptance of the new flavor by a significant part of the public brought about a prompt(果断的) restoration(恢复) of the Classic Coke, which was then marketed alongside new. King Customer ruled!
小题1: The marketing concept discussed in the passage is, in fact, __________.
A.the practice of turning goods into money
B.making goods available for purchase
C.the customer- centered approach
D.a form of persuasive salesmanship
小题2: What was the main concern of industrialists before the marketing concept was widely accepted?
A.The needs of the market.
B.The efficiency of production.
C.The satisfaction of the user.
D.The preferences of the dealer.
小题3:According to the passage, the underlined part "to move as much of these goods as possible" ( Para. 1 ) means _________.
A.to sell the largest possible amount of goods
B.to transport goods as efficiently as possible
C.to dispose of these goods in large quantities
D.to redesign these goods for large - scale production
小题4: What does the restoration of the Classic Coke best illustrate?
A.Traditional goods have a stronger appeal to the majority of people.
B.It takes time for a new product to be accepted by the public.
C.Consumers with conservative tastes are often difficult to please.
D.Products must be designed to suit the taste of the consumer.
