His purpose is settled and decided. He knows what he wants and he just finds it and buys it, but cares little about the price. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it, the salesman quickly takes it out, and the business of trying it on follows at once. If all is well, the deal(买卖) can be and is often completed in less than five minutes, with hard any chat and to everyone's satisfaction.
For a man, small problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case the salesman tries to sell the customer something else—he offers the nearest he can to the thing asked for. He would say, "I know this jacket is not the style. you want, Sir, but would you like to try it on for size？ It happens to be the color you mentioned." Few men have patience (耐心 ) with this treatment, and the usual answer is, "This is the right color and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on."

When a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some way does not live up to the manufacturer's claim for it, the first step is to present the warranty, or any other records which might help at the store of purchase. In most cases, this action will produce results. However, if it does not there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction.
A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the "higher up" the consumer takes his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled in such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer's favor, assuming, he or she has a just claim.
Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.
Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly and especially when the consumer can show what is wrong with the item he has bought. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example "The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear" is better than "This stereo does not work".
The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer if so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or pubic organization responsible for protecting consumers' rights.

？Look at the article below about getting along with the boss and following questions.
？For each question (13 - 18), mark one letter (A, B, C or D) on your Answer Sheet for the answer you choose.
Getting Along with the Boss
You know that a positive relationship with your work superiors is essential to your success. But how do you ensure you stay on their right side？ Your boss holds 2 our future prospects in his or her hands. Expect very few favors from a boss who does not like you, Bad relationship with the boss also means missed advancement opportunities: it is one of the major reasons for high staff turnover. If you resign because of the boss. you may also expect a dent in your professional reputation, Imagine having to provide such an "ex" boss as the contact referral person at your next interview !
The relationship you have with your boss can be a major factor in determining your rise up the ladder. Your boss isn't only your supervisor. He or she is also the person best equipped (or should be I to help you do the job you are paid to do. He/she is privy to the company's goals and knows what the company is looking for in future executives. He/she can inform. you of company direction that may affect your future aspirations, He/she can put in a good word for you in the right eats. He/she is also your ally when you need back up, support or cooperation from other departments.
But how does this help you establish a meaningful working relationship with your boss？ The key is communication. Know your boss' priorities and try to anticipate his/her needs before he/she asks. Don't think narrowly in terms of your own immediate position. Try to understand where what you do ties in with the bigger picture.
What other things can you discover about your boss？ Is he/she conservative or informal？ Does he/she prefer to be greeted as Mr. Ms. Miss or Mrs. or prefer first names？ Is his/hers an "open door" policy or does he/she prefers you setting appointments with them？ Respect your boss' time. Never barge into their office expecting or demanding an hearing immediately. Does he/she prefer to be kept informed with progress reports, or prefer you show initiative and get on with the job？
Don't be a "yes man" and don't offer false flattery in the hope of' getting somewhere. It won't work! And don't aim for "closeness" in the working relationship because this can also backfire. If your boss depends upon you too much. he/she won't recommend you for promotions because you are needed too much where you are. Another possibility is that if he/ she is not a good manager, he/she may be given their marching orders. If you are seen to be a part of his/her management mishaps, you may be marching out the door with him/her! Do what you can to stay in his/her good books. Don't take "sickies" unless you are sick! Be an effective, cooperative, responsible and courteous employee and team player.
It is possible that you are already these things, and you are working for somebody whose management style. disagrees with your needs or expectations. Maybe friction cannot be avoided. Then, you may be better off looking for a new job in a new department or company. In short, getting along with your boss entails getting to know his/her likes and dislikes and learning to work with his/her personality and management style. And the upside about mastering communication and people skills with your own boss is that one day, those skills will pay off in your own management role with your own team.

A．less favors from your boss.

Steel has given that 20-hour figure when describing her“exhausting”process in the past:“I start thebook and don 't leave my desk until the first draft is finished.”She goes from bed，to desk，to bath，tobed，avoiding all contact aside from phone calls with her nine children."I don 't comb my hair for weeks,”she says.Meals are brought to her desk，where she types until her fingers swell and her nails bleed.The business news website Quartz held Steel up as an inspiration，writing that if only we all followedher“actually extremely liberating"example of industrious sleeplessness，we would be quick to see results.well，indeed.With research results showing the cumulative effects of sleep loss and its impact onproductivity，doubt has been voiced about the accuracy of Steel's self-assessment.Her output may beundeniable，but sceptics have suggested that she is guilty of erasing the role of ghostwriters (代笔人) atworst，gross exaggeration at best.
Steel says working 20 hours a day is “pretty brutal physically.”But is it even possible？“No,”saysMaryanne Taylor of the Sleep Works. While you could work that long，the impact on productivity wouldmake it hardly worthwhile. If Steel was routinely sleeping for four hours a night，she would be drasticallyunderestimating the negative impact，says Alison Gardiner，founder of the sleep improvement programmeSleepstation.“It's akin to being drunk.”
lt's possible that Steel is exaggerating the demands of her schedule. Self-imposed sleeplessness has“become a bit of a status symbol", says Taylor， a misguided measure to prove how powerful and productive you are.Margaret Thatcher was also said to get by on four hours a night，while the 130-hour work weeksendured by tech heads has been held up as key to their success.
That is starting to change with increased awareness of the importance of sleep for mental health.“People are starting to realise that sleep should not be something that you fit in between everything else,"says Taylor .
But it is possible—if statistically extremely unlikely—that Steel could be born a “short sleeper”withan unusual body clock，says sleep expert Dr. Sophie Bostock." It's probably present in fewer than 1% ofthe population.”
Even if Steel does happen to be among that tiny minority，says Bostock，it's “pretty irresponsible”tosuggest that 20-hour days are simply a question of discipline for the rest of us.
