How Can I Fight Laziness?

Lazy people will never gain anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.

1. Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.

Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more positive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. 2.

Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(誘惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. 3. Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film.

Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. 4. Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated（積極的） people.

5. Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.

A. Knowing how to fight laziness is important.

B. To fight family laziness, set an example.

C. Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.

D. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.

E. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child.

F. Laziness appears when you no longer feel in charge of your own mind.

G. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.

Most of us are expecting high-quality customer service in our daily life, but actually enjoying a happy purchase is easier said than done.

Shoppers seldom complain to the manager or owner of a retail store, but instead they will alert their friends, relatives, co-workers, strangers—and anyone who will listen.

Store managers are often the last to hear complaints, and often find out only when their regular customers decide to frequent their competitors, according to a study jointly conducted by Verde Group and Wharton School.

“Storytelling hurts retailers and entertains consumers,” said Paula Courtney, President of the Verde Group. “The store loses the customer, but the shopper must also find a replacement.”

On average, every unhappy customer will complain to at least four others, and will no longer visit the specific store. For every dissatisfied customer, a store will lose up to three more due to negative review. The resulting “snowball effect” can be disastrous to retailers.

According to the research, shoppers who purchased clothing encountered the most problems. Ranked second and third were grocery and electronic customers.

The most common complaints include filled parking lots, cluttered (塞滿了的) shelves, overloaded racks, out-of-stock items, long check-out lines, and rude salespeople.

During peak shopping hours, some retailers solved parking problems by getting moonlighting (業(yè)余兼職的) local police to work as parking attendants. Some hired flag wavers to direct customers to empty parking spaces. This guidance eliminated the need for customers to circle the parking lot endlessly, and avoided confrontation between those eyeing the same parking space.

Retailers can relieve the headaches by redesigning store layouts, pre-stocking sales items, hiring speedy and experienced cashiers, and having sales representatives on hand to answer questions.

Most importantly, salespeople should be diplomatic and polite with angry customers.

“Retailers who’re responsive and friendly are more likely to smooth over issues than those who aren’t so friendly,” said Professor Stephen Hoch. “Maybe something as simple as a greeter at the store entrance would help.”

Customers can also improve future shopping experiences by filing complaints to the retailer, instead of complaining to the rest of the world. Retailers are hard-pressed to improve when they have no idea what is wrong.

1.Why are store managers often the last to hear complaints?

A. Most customers won’t bother to complain even if they have had unhappy experiences.

B. Customers have no easy access to store managers.

C. Few customers believe the service will be improved.

D. Customers would rather relate their unhappy experiences to people around them.

2.What does Paula imply by saying “the shopper must also find a replacement” ?( Para. 4)

A. New customers are bound to replace old ones.

B. Most stores provide the same kind of service.

C. Not complaining to manager causes the shopper some trouble too.

D. It is not likely the shopper can find the same products in other stores.

3.Shop owners often hire moonlighting police as parking attendants so that shoppers________.

A. can stay longer browsing in the store

B. won’t have trouble parking their cars

C. won’t have any worrier about security

D. can find their cars easily after shopping

4.What contributes most to smoothing over issues with customers?

A. Design of store layout.

B. Hiring of efficient employees

C. Huge supply of goods for sale.

D. Manners of the salespeople.

5.To achieve better shopping experiences, customers are advised to ________.

A. exert pressure on stores to improve their service

B. voice their dissatisfaction to store managers directly

C. settle their disputes with stores in a diplomatic

D. shop around and make comparisons between stores

Have respect for authority. No matter how much you may dislike them, just remember that teachers and parents care about you and they are only doing their jobs. _4._ Don’t argue with them and just obey them.

Realize a high school is not the real world.
