D.calm ａｎｄ　effective

正確答案:A

答案解析:細節(jié)題。第二段告訴我們…especially as it has just been thrust into a strange and frighteningly new world outside. 這個世界對于剛出生的嬰兒來說是a strange ａｎｄ　frighteningly new world，因此選A。

B.Waiters are not motivated from tipping

C.Tipping does not benefit management of the restaurant

D.Tips should go into the decent wages of service people

A.production cost

B.quality

C.market value

D.appeal

正確答案:D

答案解析:第三段If, therefore, fｏｒone reason ｏｒanother, some alteration seems called for, how much better to change the image, the packet ｏｒthe pitch made by the product, rather than go to all the inconvenience of changing the product itself. 一旦需要改變產(chǎn)品，最好的辦法莫過于改變外觀形象、包裝或產(chǎn)品定位而不是不辭辛苦改變產(chǎn)品本身。“改變外觀形象、包裝或產(chǎn)品定位”都是指D。

A.advise them on ways of giving a product customer appeal

B.accept responsibility fｏｒgiving a product customer appeal

C.advise them on the best time to go ahead with production

D.consult them during the design ａｎｄ　development stages

正確答案:B

答案解析:第二段The designer is busy enough without adding customer-appeal to all his other problems of man-hours and machine tolerances ａｎｄ　stress factors. So they just go ahead ａｎｄ　make the thing ａｎｄ　leave it to the advertiser to find eleven ways of making it appeal to purchasers after they have finished it, by pretending that it confers status, ｏｒattracts love, ｏｒsignifies manliness. If the advertising agency can do this authoritatively enough, the manufacturer is in clover.在產(chǎn)品設計和研發(fā)階段，廠家可以有足夠的時間來考慮而不必擔心是否每個人都會買它。設計人員在忙于考慮諸如勞動力時間、機器強度以及壓力因素時可以不考慮消費者喜好的因素。所以他們可以只管生產(chǎn)出產(chǎn)品然后讓廣告商通過聲稱此商品象征身份、地位，能夠吸引愛情或是彰顯男人魅力等，去尋找足夠的理由來吸引消費者購買。倘若廣告代理果真能做到足夠令人信服，廠家則可高枕無憂了。因此選B。
