Elephants have a complex social structure and they live in26societies. The basic family unit is formed of small groups of adult females， who are 27 each other， and their young of both sexes. Now the females remain in their families for life， they"re highly social， but male elephants leave their families at about fourteen years of age. They travel alone or stay together in small，28 groups with other males，29 joining a family on a temporary basis. When males are ready to mate they wander widely， searching for 30 females. The family unit， on the other hand， often contains three generations， and it can remain stable for decades， or even centuries. Then each family 31 between one and five other families， probably consisting of their more distant relatives. Scientists call these groups of families "bond groups"， and bond groups belong，32， to even larger groups， called clans. And like other social animals they have to be able to communicate. But what baffled early33was their ability to communicate over long distances. So they set about researching this question. After years of observation and study， our understanding of elephant communication has increased considerably in recent years. However， even with the use of radio tracking collars， it"s technically difficult to 34 the functions of long-range communication. So although scientists are aware that elephants may know the whereabouts， and possibly the activities of other elephants that are several miles away，there may be a lot of subtle， long-range35which are still not evident.

Sales Strategies .Vary with Product Life Cycles
One of the most important concepts in sales management and marketing is that of tile product life cycle. This is a historical record of the life of a product, showing the stage in its life the product has reached at a particular time. By identifying the stage that a product is in or may be heading towards, companies can formulate better marketing plans. All products have 'lives' in as much as they are created, sell with varying profitability over a period of time, and then become obsolete and are replaced or simply no longer produced. A product's sales position and profitability can be expected to fluctuate over time and so, at each successive stage in the product's cycle, it is necessary to adopt different tactics.
The two main features of the product life cycle are unit sales and unit profit. The unit sales figures usually jump on introduction, as a response to heavy advertising and promotion, as customers buy the product experimentally. This is generally followed by a leveling off while it is evaluated -- the length of this period depending on the use to which the product is put. Then, unit sales rise steadily through the growth phase to the maturity phase, when the product is widely accepted, and so on to saturation level. By this time, competitors will have entered the market with their own version and, from this point, the sales team will have to work even harder to win all additional sales. Eventually, the product's sales decline as better versions enter the market and competition becomes too strong.
In retrospect, most firms know what happened to their products from launch to withdrawal. They can compile this information from the records of unit sales.
Unfortunately, unit sales are not the complete story as it is unit profit that is the decisive factor, although this is not always recorded accurately. It is this figure that sales management has to monitor, though, to ensure an effective marketing strategy and to produce effective profits.
At launch, the product is costed accurately on the basis of production costs plus selling costs. Initially these remain fairly stable, but, when the product is proving successful, competitors will bring out their own 'copy-cat' products. With a competitor in the field, the original firm has to respond in order to maintain its market position. It can run special sales promotions, improve deliveries, make more frequent sales calls and so on. Often the extra expenditure is not accurately charged to the product and the result is that, long before unit sales are noticeably falling, the unit profit has already fallen.
The product life cycle, then, presents a picture of what happened in the product's 'lifetime', so how can this be used as all ongoing aid to management decision- making？ Every sales manager has a chart on which the progress of sales is plotted and this can be used as a guide to the stage of development each product is currently in. An essential management skill is being able to interpret sales results and draw in the stages as they occur. Deciding where each stage begins and ends can be a random exercise, though usually the stages are based on where the rate of sales growth or decline becomes pronounced.
According to the text, the end of a product's life cycle is marked by
A．a sharp rise in production costs.
B．the product becoming outdated.
C．an increase in customer complaints.
D．less support from sales management.

听力原文： Different kinds of writing achieve different purposes. On the basis of controlling purpose we traditionally divide all prose into three categories: narration, description and exposition. Of these, exposition is especially important to the college student since much of what he reads, and most of what he writes, is expository prose. Exposition is writing that explains. In general, it answers the questions how and why. If we go into any university library, most of the books we find on the shelves are examples of exposition. Philosophies, histories, literary essays, theories of economics, studies of government and law, the findings of sociology, the investigations of science—all these, however different, have for their purpose to explain. It is the most common kind of writing, the sort with which we conduct our workaday affairs—the business letter, the doctor's case study, the lawyer's brief, the engineer's report and so on.
On paper, the writing of exposition begins with paragraphs. Within each paragraph, the writer shapes and develops a single unit of thought. Generally, paragraphs of exposition contain two different kinds of statements. The first—a general, rather abstract statement—is called a topic sentence. The second class of statements consists of particular facts, examples, illustrations and supporting details. Most often the topic sentence stands first in the paragraph unless one or two sentences of transition go before.

Surprised by a Miracle
I had been working in the trauma unit at a local hospital for about a year. You get used to families thinking that a "coma" (昏迷) patient is moving their hand or doing something that they were asked to do. "Following commands" is what we call it often it's "wishful thinking" on the families' part. Nurses can easily become callous （麻木不仁的) to it.
On this particular night during visiting hours, my patient's wife came ~n. I had taken care of him for several nights I was very familiar with his care and what he was able to do. Actually, he didn't do anything. He barely moved at all, even when something would obviously hurt him, such as suctioning (抽吸)
His wife was very short, about 5 feet tall. She had to stand on a stool to lean over him, so that she could see his face and talk to him. She climbed up on the stool I spoke to her for a few minutes, and then stepped out to tend to my other patient. A few minutes later, she came running out of the room. In an excited voice, she said, "Donna, he's moving his hand!"
I immediately thought that it was probably her imagination, and that he had not actually done it on purpose. He had been there about a month at the time and had never made any movements on purpose. I asked her what had happened and she said, "1 asked him to squeeze my hand and he did!"
This led me to another train of questioning. "But, did he let go when you asked him to？" She said yes, that he had done exactly what she asked
I went into the room with her, not really believing that I would see anything different than I had always seen. But I decided that it would be better to pacify (抚慰) her than to make her think that I didn't believe her or that she was somehow mistaken.
She asked him to squeeze her hand, which he did.
I said, "Well, ask him to let go." He continued to squeeze for a moment, so that when he finally did let go, I really still didn't believe that he had done it on purpose.
So, I said, "Ask him to hold up one finger." He did as asked.
Well, hmm, this was starting to get my attention. I looked at him, his face still somewhat swollen (肿胀的) and his eyes still closed. "Stick out your tongue!" I said. He did it. I almost fell on the floor. It was the first time I had ever seen anyone "wake up."
36 The first paragraph indicates that more often than not a coma patient
A is found to be following commands.
B is callous to nurses' commands.
C is thought to be following commands.
D is used to following commands.
