Not until he retired from teaching three years ago _________ having a holiday abroad.

A. he had considered B. did he consider

C. he considered D. had he considered

B

【解析】

試題分析：Not until…位于句子開頭，句子主句用部分倒裝；句意是“直到三年前他退休，他才考慮去國外度假的”。主句動(dòng)作發(fā)生在從句之后，從句用的是一般過去時(shí)態(tài)，所以主句用一般過去時(shí)態(tài)。部分倒裝要求把be動(dòng)詞、助動(dòng)詞或情態(tài)動(dòng)詞放到主語的前面，所以B. did he consider合乎題意。

考點(diǎn)：考查倒裝句和時(shí)態(tài)。

No matter what type of business you run, it has to deal with situations in which things go wrong from your customer’s point of view. Complaints can be a great source of information for the organizations. So it’s important to learn to deal with customer complaints efficiently.

Firstly, listen attentively to what the customer has to say by keeping comfortable eye contact and giving full attention with no interrupting. You should also show your customer that you do understand him.

Secondly, when receiving a complaint you should apologize for the failure the customer has identified. It’s important for you to know that your apology must appear authentic to the customer, and not an empty excuse. And also you should show the customer you’ve accepted the responsibility and provide him with choices if you have some in hand or otherwise assure the customer you’ll do something about his complaint.

Thirdly, talk with the consumer and discover the best means to resolve his problem. There will be times when, after gathering the facts of a situation, you’ll be unable to resolve the problem immediately. In this case it’s important to let your customer know how long it’ll take to take action on his complaint.

Fourthly, a simple “Thank you” is one way to let the customer know you appreciate the time and effort he has taken to inform you about a problem with your company’s service or product you need to know about.

Lastly, give your customer something that shows your appreciation for him giving the feedback to you. And let him know you’re sorry for the mistake that was made. It isn’t necessary to give something that is costly; but a coupon(贈(zèng)券) for a free drink or movie is fine.

Your professional and well-organized method of dealing with your customer complaints is one more way that will make you stay ahead of your competitors.

Peter Onruang, a Hollywood businessman, has paid $310,000 to clone his best friend Wolfie, a lovely dog. He said, “Wolfie was more than just a pet to me.” Wolfie died two years ago, at the age of 15. But long before she and her sister Bubble passed away, Onruang had plans to bring them back to life. Onruang said, “I buried them at home. Each time I visit them, I say, ‘Hi, I’m making a new body for you.’”

Finally, Onruang found the South Korean biotechnology company RNL Bio, which can and will clone animals. Onruang collected his dogs’ stem cells (干細(xì)胞), and then he started a website MyFriendAgain.com, so he could earn and save the $310,000 that the cloning would cost.

The new dogs should look identical (完全相同的) to Wolfie and Bubble. When the cloning process is done, Onruang may end up with several clones of each dog. But Onruang admits he’s still not sure that they will be exactly the same.

Scientists cloned the first animal, a sheep named Dolly, in 1996 in Scotland. That project has raised ethical (倫理的) questions about where science should draw the line. Another question is whether such technique will lead to a day when humans could be cloned.

“If I had an opportunity to clone myself, I would do it readily,” Onruang said. “Because it’s me, I’m raising myself. I have already known exactly my strengths and weaknesses. This person is going to be the new and improved me, and will live the life I’ve always wanted to live.”

1.Onruang started the website MyFriendAgain.com in order to .

A. encourage more people to clone their pets

B. draw people’s attention to cloning

C. raise money to pay for the cloning

D. collect his dog’s stem cells

2.The purpose of the fourth paragraph is to tell us .

A. when and where scientists cloned the first sheep Dolly

B. people are in favor of the clone technology

C. cloning will be of great benefit to humans

D. there are arguments about the clone technology

3.What is Onruang’s attitude towards cloning humans?

A. He is enthusiastic about it.

B. He doesn’t care about it.

C. He strongly opposes it.

D. He never thinks about it.
