Once upon a time (not so very long ago, either!) industrial goods were made to last forever. If you bought a ear or a stove, it was a once-in-a-lifetime investment(投资). You paid good money for it, and you took care of it. Nowadays industry has persuaded us that products shouldn't last a long time. It's cheaper to throw them away than it is to repair them. This has led directly to the "throw-away society" which is a tremendous waste of the earth's resources.
Just think of the cars that are traded in daily, just because they are out of style. Think of the expensive packaging material that is thrown away every time a new object is bought. And we consumers have to pay for that material! Our industrial society has turned us into spoiled children. This wastefulness has got ten us into the mess (困境) we are in now. When we have no resources left, then we'll start to take care of what we have. But why can't we act before this happens? Why can't we go back to being a society in which the prevention of waste is a virtue?
Products used to be made to last ______.
A.for at least five years
B.for ten years
C.for as long as you take good care of them
D.for your whole life
SECRET SHOPPERS
Tim Wright knows all about making companies more efficient. His firm, Check-up, sends 'secret shoppers' into retail and leisure companies (29) order to make sure that customers are receiving good service. After (30) visit, the secret shoppers prepare a report for the company to let them know (31) good or bad the service was.
Companies like to know,' says Mr Wright,' that (32) customers go into a store just a few minutes before closing time, they will (33) get good service.' Check-up (34) set up in the west of England in 1992 and (35) two years moved to London so it could offer a nationwide service. (36) the last three years, Check-up's profits have (37) dramatically as companies have come to realise (38) great importance of good customer service. Having started with just three employees, Check-up now has a staff (39) sixty-five and last week (40) an important new contract with a major supermarket chain.

Sometimes both of you will begin a conversation using last names, and after a while one or both of you may begin using first names instead.

Keep right distance between the two of you; not too close, but enough distance to shake your hands well. Keeping eye contact makes the other person feel welcome and comfortable.
Keep a handshake brief and firm. You let go of each other's hand after 2-3 seconds. Make sure your handshake ends before your conversation does.
