• 2．I had moved to Japan for a long-term client consulting engagement.After a few days in a Tokyo hotel，I moved to an apartment.After being moved in by my colleagues，it was time to get dinner.I found a pizza deliver flyer in my mailbox and decided to simply order a pizza as I might have the previous week in Manhattan.The phone call to Cali Pizza was easier than anticipated and while waiting for the pizza I set about unpacking.
     Unfortunately，after 45 minutes no pizza.I figured that my "easy" call really wasn't and that I would need to make alternate plans for dinner.While thinking about what to do next，my phone rang.It was Cali Pizza calling to say that they could not find my apartment based on the address that I had given them.Once it was determined that I had provided an incorrect address，the clerk on the phone asked me to describe what I could see from my window.After some back and forth they seemed satisfied that they knew where I was.
     A few minutes later the pizza arrived.This is when my "customer delight" experience took over.First，the delivery person apologized repeatedly for being late，then he showed me the small blue metal plate on my building with the correct address，and finally he refused to accept payment for the pizza because he was late.Net result：one delighted customer（me），and frequent orders from Cali Pizza during my two-year stay in Japan.
     Such "customer delight" experiences become stories I have used to illustrate what it means to truly delight a customer.

• 3．Long before they found their way into living rooms around，the world，computers were the belongings of institutes and corporate headquarters.After all，the huge and heavy mainframes of the 1960s might easily fill a room of their own.
     The invention of the microprocessor - Intel's 4004 was the first to be made commercially available in 1971-changed all that.Manufacturers were finally able to produce machines small enough to fit into customers' homes.Yet，the question was：Could firms persuade people to actually want one there？
     The story of how computers enter our homes is not one of technology，but one of marketing and design，according to writer and journalist Alex Wiltshire，whose new book，Home Computers：100 Icons that Defined a Digital Generation，tells the industry's early history through its most influential models. "The technology was already in existence，" he said in a phone interview. "But what was important was the idea of putting it into a form that could be bought and easily used."
     The very first models in Wiltshire's book were aimed at hobbyists and industry insiders.These so-called "kit" computers performed only basic functions.But the arrival of user-friendly machines like the CPET 2001 and Apple Ⅱ in 1977 were signs of a turning point.
     "There was a massive change around the idea of 'What if these computers were packaged，presented and designed in a form that anyone could use？' -that they wouldn't require people to learn computer languages，or to devote several rooms of their houses，" Wiltshire said. "What if there were these objects that people could buy off the shelf and just plug into their TVs？That was the moment that the idea of a 'home computer' was born，and it was absolutely down to design. "
  
  （1）What can we learn from Alex's book？

  
  A．Technology for home computers was not mature.
  B．Marketing and design counted most for computers.
  C．The home computer industry has a long history.
  D．The writer's idea was put in the design of home computers.
  （2）What is the difference between kit computers and CPET 2001？

  
  A．Kit computers could handle complex operation.
  B．Kit computers were more environmently friendly.
  C．CPET 2001 was easier to use for common people.
  D．CPET 2001 was better than Apple Ⅱ.
  （3）What is the topping idea when designing a "home computer"？

  
  A．Designing it like a TV.
  B．Designing it aimed at housewives.
  C．Designing it easier to use and keep.
  D．Designing it used learning languages.
  （4）What's Alex's attitude towards the change of home computer？

  
  A．Objective.
  B．Negative.
  C．Indifferent.
  D．Suspicious.

      "I don't want to see that cat in our yard again，" my husband said as he drove the beautiful cat back into the neighbor's yard. "Cats aren't like dogs，honey.They are very independent and tend to move around wherever they please，especially if they are mousing，I said.Well，text our neighbor and let her know I don't appreciate her cat in our yard，" he insisted.Sighing，I sent off a quick text to our sweet neighbor，Cheryl，informing her of my husband's dislike of cats. "I'll do my best，" she replied sometime later， "but it's kind of hard controlling where she goes when I let her outside." The following morning，John stood at the picture window in our bedroom.He'd installed it so that I could watch the birds visiting our feeders.
      "You aren't going to believe this，" he said. "Come look!" Slowly，I approached the window，praying Cheryl's cat wasn't in our yard. "Oh，my God!" I cried.Seated side by side，right in the center of our yard，were two enormous groundhogs（土拨鼠）.We'd observed groundhogs before，especially since our back yard backs，up to a wooded area，but never had they been as brave as these two.John raised the window，and the two raced into the woods.That evening，I happened to glance out the picture window.Then something caught my eye in the flowerbed beyond. "John，come quick!" Hurriedly，he entered the bedroom just in time to see one of the groundhogs chewing on the flowers we'd planted around the water fountain. "Why，it's eating every single blossom!"
      Again，John lifted the window，and the groundhog fled into the woods. "Hmmm，I better look up groundhogs on the computer and see just how destructive they can be." Before he left the room，however，he saw something again.A groundhog was chewing our vegetables in the center of the garden.Across the yard，we'd planted a vegetable garden.We'd taken great pains to enclose the rows and rows of plants in chicken wire.
  注意：
  1.续写词数应为150左右；
  2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
      "Something's got to be done!" John shouted._________.
      I couldn't help smiling to myself as I went to search for my cellphone._________.
