Wholesaler Marketing Decisions
Wholesalers, like retailers, must make decisions on their target market, product assortment, pricing, promotion and place. Many wholesalers make the mistake of serving too many customers. They need to define their target market. H
On the other hand, they need to discourage the customers who are not profitable enough by requiring larger orders or adding surcharges to smaller ones. The wholesaler's product is his assortment. Unfortunately, many of them carry too wide a range of goods. (9) . They need to identify the more profitable lines and vary inventory levels accordingly. Wholesalers usually mark up the cost of goods by about 20 percent to cover their expenses. This often leaves a margin of about 3 percent profit. (10) . They are cutting margins on some lines in order to win new customers, and on other lines they are asking for special prices when they can increase the supplier's sales.
(11) . Their use of trade advertising, sales promotion, publicity and personal selling is largely haphazard. (12) . They certainly need to develop an overall promotion strategy. Finally, wholesalers typically locate in Iow- rent, low-tax areas and put very little money into their physical setting and offices. In many cases they don't invest enough in material- handling and order-processing systems. (13) . Progressive wholesales have already moved over to the automated warehouse where orders are fed into a computer, items are picked up by mechanical devices and conveyed on a belt to the dispatch area for packing. (14) .
A They should not carry too many lines or too much stock.
B Many wholesalers are now using computers to carry out accounting, billing, inventory control and forecasting.
C They need to adopt some of the image-making techniques used by retailers.
D Most wholesalers are not promotion-minded enough.
E They need to adopt some methods used by sellers.
F Wholesalers are beginning to experiment with new approaches to prices.
G To meet rising costs, they need to study the advantages of automated handling procedures.
H They need to identify the more profitable customers and design stronger offers and build relationships with them.

Part B
Directions:
The 12,000 members of the Electricity Workers' Union went on strike last week and since then there has been no electricity. For questions 61~65, match the names with the statements below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
Mr. Mike Smith:
It wasn't an easy decision, but we've been asking for a decent wage for years. Now at las people are beginning to listen to us. We' re only asking for a 25 percent increase in our wages. 250 dollars a week, that's all. It's a pity so many people have to be inconvenienced by our strike. Bu please don't blame us. Blame the government for refusing our claim.
Mr. Tom Brown:
It' s totally unreasonable to demand so much money when we are trying desperately to control inflation. If wages go up ,so do prices. If we gave in to the electricity workers, all the other unions would want more, with the inevitable result that the crisis would become uncontrollable. What we' re trying to impress upon everybody is that inflation hurts everybody, especially the poor people. We offer the electricity workers a 10 percent increase. And that' s already too much. My stand at this meeting will be to persuade the Union to see reason.
Mr. Bob Davis:
Everybody will be hurt by this strike, including the electricity workers themselves. The economy will be destroyed and many people will lose their jobs. Already people are saying that the big unions have too much power and shouldn't be allowed to strike. Of course the electricity workers want to get more money. Don't we all?
Mrs. Baker.
My opinion is "Get the Army in". All the power stations should be managed by the army. The strikers should be thrown into prison. That' s what this country needs. Why must we all suffer just because a few men are greedy? If they don't like their jobs, nobody' s forcing them to work. They should try and live on 50 dollars a week like I have to. Perhaps they' d keep their mouths shut then.
Miss Slater:
Let's face it. It's neither here nor there. The electricity workers are in a strong position. Perhaps we can't do anything about it. What I say is: let them have their 250 dollars so we can return to work. I mean, the government wastes the taxpayers' money all the time on trivial things. How can anyone say 250 dollars is "too much"? Pop singers get more. Nurses get less. It's just one of those things.
Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.
Note: there are two extra statements.

听力原文: The quest for success always begins with a target. As Yogi Bear once said, "You've got to be very careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there." Too many people wander through life like sleepwalkers. Each day they follow familiar routines, never asking, "What am I doing with my life?" And they don't know what they are doing because they lack goals.
Goal-setting is a focusing of the will to move in a certain direction. Begin with a clear conception of what you want. Write clown your goals and date them—putting them into words and clarifying them. Rather than concentrating on objects to acquire and possess, focus on fulfilling your desires to do, to produce, to contribute goal-setting that yields the true sense of satisfaction we all need.
It's important to visualize yourself accomplishing your goal. While losers visualize the penalties of failure, winners visualize the rewards of success. I've seen it among athletes, entrepreneurs and public speakers.
I've done it myself. I was terrified of air travel. I had read too many articles describing crash scenes and imagined these scenes vividly. Friends quoted statistics contrasting air and highway safety, but it made no difference. I had the opportunity to fly on a private plane with friends to a resort. I didn't want to miss out on a great vacation. So I spent two weeks imagining a smooth flight on a beautiful sunny day and an easy landing. When the day arrived, I was eager to go. To everyone's surprise, I got on the plane and flew. I loved every minute of it, and I still use the techniques I employed that day.
