注:1.present v. 提交
2.主题句后将介绍其他不同投诉的方法
A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the higher up the consumer takes his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer s favor, assuming he or she has a just claim.
注:the more...the more... 比较结构,可以跟32题联系在一起。
(到此处,文章后面的题目中有4道题已经可以定位了。31题、32题、34题和35题)
Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.
Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear is better than This stereodoes not work.
注:1.firmly 坚决的
2.demonstrate 证明、证实
3.specific 具体的,详细的
4.as to = about
The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumers rights.
33. The most effective complaint can be made by _________.
A) showing the faulty item to the manufacturer
B) explaining exactly what is wrong with the item
C) saying firmly that the item is of poor quality
D) asking politely to change the item
注:B 选项 exactly =文中specific,同义改写
31. When a consumer finds that his purchase has a fault in it, the first thing he should do is to ________
A) complain personally to the manager
B) threaten to take the matter to court
C) write a firm letter of complaint to the store of purchase
D) show some written proof of the purchase to the store
注:1.A、B、C是窜段选项。
2.提交保单或有力证明是文章中第一段就提到的the first step。
