Question

As societies develop,their members start to see things not so much according to what they need,but according to what they want.When people have enough money,these wants become demands.
Now,it’s important for the managers in a company to understand what their customers want if they are going to develop effective marketing strategies(策略).There are various ways of doing this.One way at supermarkets(超市),for example,is to interview(采訪(fǎng))customers while they’re doing their shopping.They can be asked what they prefer to buy and then the results of the research can be studied.This provides information on which to base future marketing strategies.It’s also quite normal for top managers from department stores to spend a day or two each month visiting stores and mixing freely with the public,as if they were ordinary customers,to get an idea of how customers act.
Another way to get information from customers is to give them something.For example,some fast food restaurants give away tickets in magazines or on the street that permit customers to get part of their meal for nothing.As well as being a good way of attracting customers into the restaurants to spend their money,it also allows the managers to get a feel for where to attract customers and which age-groups to attract.
Another strategy used at some well-known parks such as Disneyland is for top managers to spend at least one day in their work,touring the park dressed as Mickey Mouse or something like that.This provides them with a perfect chance to examine the scene and watch the customers without being noticed.

解析【小題1】這是一道主旨題。本文介紹了如何發(fā)現(xiàn)消費(fèi)者的需求來(lái)制定銷(xiāo)售策略，從而提高銷(xiāo)售量。而且舉了集中管理者采用的方法，所以主要是寫(xiě)給管理者的。
【小題2】這是一道推斷題。根據(jù)第二段“One way at supermarkets,for example,is to interview customers while they’re doing their shopping. ...This provides information on which to base future marketing strategies.”可知采訪(fǎng)顧客(問(wèn)顧客問(wèn)題)是得到有用信息的一種方式。
【小題3】這是一道指代題。根據(jù)上一句“Another strategy used at some well-known parks such as Disneyland is for top managers to spend at least one day in their work,touring the park dressed as Mickey Mouse or something like that.”可知this是指的上一句迪斯尼經(jīng)理做的工作，也就是化妝后到處走。
【小題4】這是一道主旨題。本文主要介紹了如何做市場(chǎng)調(diào)查獲得由于的消費(fèi)者信息，了解消費(fèi)者需求，來(lái)制定銷(xiāo)售策略。
