Throughout the buying process, various factors may influence a buyer's purchase decision. An awareness of these factors and consumer preferences enables companies to appeal to the group most likely to respond to its products and services. Some of these factors include the following.

CULTURE. The culture and subcultures we belong to shape our values, attitudes, and beliefs, and they influence the way we respond to the world around us. Understanding culture is therefore an increasingly important step in international business and in marketing in diverse countries such as the United States.

SOCIAL CLASS. In addition to being members of a particular culture, we also belong to a certain social class — upper, middle, lower, or somewhere in between. In general, members of various classes enjoy different activities, buy different goods, shop in different places, and react to different media.

REFERENCE GROUP. A reference group consists of people who have a good deal in common — family members, friends, co-workers, fellow students, teenagers, sports enthusiasts, music lovers, computer buffs. We are all members of many such reference groups, and we use the opinions of the appropriate group as a benchmark when we buy certain types of products or services. For example, shopping malls are today losing what has long been their most faithful audience — teens. That's because Generation Xers (those born between 1965 and 1978) think that malls are for parents and that malls have too many rules. So some retailers like Urban Outfitters and Tower Records refuse to open stores in most malls.

SELF-IMAGE. The tendency to believe that "you are what you buy" is especially prevalent among young people. Marketers capitalize on our need to express our identity through our purchases by emphasizing the image value of products and services. That's why professional athletes and musicians are frequently used as product endorsers — so that we incorporate part of their public image into our own self-image. After all, doesn't everyone want to "be like Mike Jordan"?

SITUATIONAL FACTORS. These factors include events or circumstances occurring in our lives that are more circumstantial in nature. For example, you have a coupon, you're in a hurry, it's Valentines' Day, it's your birthday, you're in a bad mood, and so on. Situational factors influence our buying patterns.

1. Who will be most interested in this article?

:A.Wholesalers.

B.Marketing managers.

C.Economists.

D.Retailers.


正确答案:B


根据下列材料,请回答 21~25 题:

Come on –Everybody’s doing it. That whispered message, half invitation and half forcing, is what most of us think of when we hear the words peer pressure. It usually leads to no good-drinking, drugs and casual sex. But in her new book Join the Club, Tina Rosenberg contends that peer pressure can also be a positive force through what she calls the social cure, in which organizations and officials use the power of group dynamics to help individuals improve their lives and possibly the word.

Rosenberg, the recipient of a Pulitzer Prize, offers a host of example of the social cure in action: In South Carolina, a state-sponsored antismoking program called Rage Against the Haze sets out to make cigarettes uncool. In South Africa, an HIV-prevention initiative known as LoveLife recruits young people to promote safe sex among their peers.

The idea seems promising,and Rosenberg is a perceptive observer. Her critique of the lameness of many pubic-health campaigns is spot-on: they fail to mobilize peer pressure for healthy habits, and they demonstrate a seriously flawed understanding of psychology.” Dare to be different, please don’t smoke!” pleads one billboard campaign aimed at reducing smoking among teenagers-teenagers, who desire nothing more than fitting in. Rosenberg argues convincingly that public-health advocates ought to take a page from advertisers, so skilled at applying peer pressure.

But on the general effectiveness of the social cure, Rosenberg is less persuasive. Join the Club is filled with too much irrelevant detail and not enough exploration of the social and biological factors that make peer pressure so powerful. The most glaring flaw of the social cure as it’s presented here is that it doesn’t work very well for very long. Rage Against the Haze failed once state funding was cut. Evidence that the LoveLife program produces lasting changes is limited and mixed.

There’s no doubt that our peer groups exert enormous influence on our behavior. An emerging body of research shows that positive health habits-as well as negative ones-spread through networks of friends via social communication. This is a subtle form. of peer pressure: we unconsciously imitate the behavior. we see every day.

Far less certain, however, is how successfully experts and bureaucrats can select our peer groups and steer their activities in virtuous directions. It’s like the teacher who breaks up the troublemakers in the back row by pairing them with better-behaved classmates. The tactic never really works. And that’s the problem with a social cure engineered from the outside: in the real world, as in school, we insist on choosing our own friends.

第 21 题 According to the first paragraph, peer pressure often emerges as

[A] a supplement to the social cure

[B] a stimulus to group dynamics

[C] an obstacle to school progress

[D] a cause of undesirable behaviors

Culture Shock

Culture shock is the loss of emotional balance,disorientation(茫然失措),or confusion that a person feels when moving from a familiar environment to an unfamiliar one.When it is a common experience,the degree to which it occurs will vary from one person to another. Individual personality, previous cross-cultural experience,and language proficiency all affect a person's ability to interact socially in the new culture.The basic cause of culture shock is the abrupt loss of all that is familiar, leading to a sense of isolation.
When an individual enters a strange culture,all or most of those familiar signs and hints are removed. He or she is like a fish out of water. No matter how broad-minded or good-willed he may be,a series of properties have been knocked from under him.This may be followed by a feeling of frustration and anxiety.People react to the frustration in much the same way.First they reject the environment which causes the discomfort:"The ways of the host country are bad because they make us feel bad."
Another aspect of culture shock is regression(倒退).The home environment suddenly assumes a tremendous importance,and everything becomes irrationally glorified.All difficulties and problems are forgotten and only the good things back home are remembered.It usually takes a trip home to bring one back to reality.
Common symptoms of culture shock include the following extremes.These are excessive concerns over delays and other minor frustrations;fear of being cheated,robbed or injured; sleeplessness or a desire to sleep more;and a great longing to go home.Underlying all these is the uncomfortable feeling of not really belonging,of being an outsider.

People with previous cross-culture experience will better adapt themselves in face of a new culture.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned

答案:C
解析:
文章第一段最后一句提到引起文化冲击的根本原因是突然丧失了熟悉的一切,从而带来的一种孤立无援的感觉。但是没有提到是否想家,所以选C。
文章第一段的第二句“the degree to which it occurs will vary from one person to another.”表明人们遭受文化冲击的程度因人而异,因此该判断正确。
该判断错误。文中第二段中间提到“People react to the frustration in much the same way.”人们面对挫折时的反应基本相同。所以选B。
该判断正确。第二段的最后一句“First they reject the environment whichcauses the discomfort",当来到一个新文化中,人们的第一反应是杭拒带给他们不适的新环境,所以选A。
文章最后一段列出了文化冲击的种种表现,如对拖延和小挫折的过度担心、害怕被欺负、没有归属感、局外人的感觉等,但没有提到渴望旅行,因此选C。
文章的第三段提到“It usually takes a trip home to bring one back to real-ity.”回一次家能够使人回到现实,但是不能够帮助解决所有的问题,因此选B。
第一段中间的句子提到已有的跨文化经历等因素“all affect a person's ability to interact socially in the new culture",会影响到人们的社交能力,但是到底是正面还是负面的影响文中没有提及,所以选C。

正确答案:
1.include改为including 现在分词including在此作状语,表示“包括”之意。
2.compose改为composed

3.object改为objects 根据后面的列举可知不只由一个object,所以要用复数。
4.or改为and
both与and搭配,作“两者都……”讲。

9.laugh改为laughs 根据谓语动词smiles或先行词a person可以断定这里动词要使用第三人称单数。
10.by改为with
supply sb.. with sth.或supply sth. for sb..都可以表示“为某人提供某物”。
