21、Bubba, a handsome blue-and-turquoise parrot, was the best little companion I could have hoped for. At 88 years of age, I don’t plan to have any more pets, but for 12 years, Bubba and I kept each other company throughout the day.

I bought him from my local pet shop, when he was a baby; the bigger parrots were pushing him away from the seed dish and off the end of the perch—so I had to save him.

I asked him his name, and he replied, “Bibbi”. I changed it to “Bubba”. He must have liked it because he learned to say it pretty quickly.

He would make me laugh by practising new words, and if he didn’t pronounce them correctly, he would mutter loudly, which I took to mean he was cursing himself.

I left Bubba’s cage open unless he did something naughty. I would shut him in till he behaved himself. It didn’t take long and he soon learned to say, “Bubba’s a good boy.” When he came out, I got lots of kisses! At bedtime I had to sing “Unchained Melody” to him.

My favourite memory is of his last Christmas in 2014. He asked, “What doing?” I told him that the following day was Christmas Day and that the decorations would cheer us up. Next morning, he was out early kissing me, and it continued all day. That night, as I put him to bed he had a very satisfied look on his face.

On his last day, he clung to me and lay in my hand for hours. I placed him on a feather duster in a small box so that he could be on my walker tray while I cooked dinner.

At bedtime, I placed him back into the box with some water and seed. After the usual songs, I told him to lie down and get comfortable. In the morning he was lying down, one wing over his head.

I’m sure he still visits me.

B．Bubba will always live in my heart.

C．Bubba’s leaving is weighing on my mind.

D．It’s certain that Bubba will come to visit me again.

22、High-quality customer service is preached (宣扬) by many, but actually keeping customers happy is easier said than done.

Shoppers seldom complain to the manager or owner of a retail store, but instead 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 electronics customers.

The most common complaints include filled parking lots, cluttered (塞满了的) 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 (业余兼职的) 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 would rather relate their unhappy experiences to people around them.

C. Few customers believe the service will be improved. .

D. Customers have no easy access to store managers.

【2】 What does Paula Courtney imply by saying “…the shopper must also find a replacement” (Line 2, Para. 4)

A. New customers are bound to replace old ones.

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

C. Most stores provide the same kind of service.

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

【3】What contributes most to smoothing over issues with customers?

A. Manners of the salespeople.

B. Hiring of efficient employees.

C. Huge supply of goods for sale.

D. Design of store layout.

【4】To achieve better shopping experiences, customers are advised to ________.

A. exert pressure on stores to improve their service

B. settle their disputes with stores in a diplomatic way

C. voice their dissatisfaction to store managers directly

D. shop around and make comparisons between stores

23、   For thousands of years, people have known that the best way to understand a concept is to explain  it to someone else. “While we teach, we learn,” said Roman philosopher Seneca. Now scientists are bringing this ancient wisdom up to date. They’re documenting why teaching is such a fruitful w ay to learn, and designing creative ways for young people to take part in instruction.

Researchers have found that students who sign up to tutor others work harder to understand the material, recall it more accurately and apply it more effectively. Student teachers score higher on tests than pupils who’re learning only for their own sake. But how can children, still learning themselves, teach others? One answer: They can tutor younger kids. Some studies have found that first-born children are more intelligent than their later-born siblings(兄弟姐妹). This suggests their higher IQs result from the time they spend teaching their siblings. Now educators are experimenting with ways to apply this model to academic subjects. They arrange college undergraduates to teach computer science to high school students, who in turn instruct middle school students on the topic.

But the most cutting-edge tool under development is the “teachable agent” — a computerized character who learns, tries, makes mistakes and asks questions just like a real-world  pupil.

Computer scientists have created an animated(动画的)figure called Betty’s Brain, who has been “taught” about environmental science by hundreds of middle school students. Student teachers are inspired to help Betty master certain materials. While preparing to teach, they  organize their know ledge and improve their ow n understanding. And as they explain the information to it, they identify problems in their own thinking.

Feedback from the teachable agents further improves the tutors’ learning. The agents’ questions forces student tutors to think and explain the materials in different ways, and watching the agent solve problems allow s them to see their know ledge put into action.

Above all, it’s the emotions one experiences in teaching that improve learning. Student tutors feel upset when their teachable agents fail, but happy when these virtual pupils succeed as they develop pride and satisfaction from someone else’s accomplishment.

【1】What do we learn about Betty’s Brain ?

A.It is a character in a popular animation. B.It is a teaching tool under development.   C.It is a cutting-edge app in digit al games.

D.It is a tutor for computer science students.

【2】How does teaching others benefit student tutors?

A.It makes them aw are of what they are strong at. B.It motivates them to try new ways of teaching.

C.It helps them learn their academic subjects better. D.It enables them to better understand their teachers.

【3】What do students do to teach their teachable agents?

A.They motivate them to think independently.

B.They ask them to design their ow n questions.

C.They encourage them to give immediate feedback.

D.They use various ways to explain the materials to them.

【4】What is the key factor that benefits student tutors’ learning?

A.Their sense of responsibility. B.Their emotional involvement.

C.The learning skills acquired. D.The teaching experience gained.
