a. leighs friend b. leighs dog c. leighs brother d leighs shirt58the worst part in leighs eyes may be that _ahis dad got remarriedbhis parents got divorcedchis dad didnt love him dhis mom didnt take him to pizza cno matter what type of business you run, it has to deal with situations in which things go wrong from your customers point of view. complaints can be a great source of information for the organizations. so its 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. its 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 youve accepted the responsibility and provide him with choices if you have some in hand or otherwise assure the customer youll 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, youll be unable to resolve the problem immediately. in this case its important to let your customer know how long itll 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 companys 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 youre sorry for the mistake that was made. it isnt necessary to give something that is costly; but a coupon(赠券) 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.59. what does the passage mainly talk about? a. effects of customer complaints on business. b. tips for handling complaints from customers. c. importance of dealing with customer complaints. d. several factors resulting in customer complaints.60. the author thinks that customer complaints _. a. are easy to deal with b. are sometimes beneficial c. can actually be avoided d. are really quite annoying61 the underlined word “authentic” in paragraph 3 most probably means _. a. believable b. touching c. attractive d. clever62. according to the passage, what is the first thing you should do when facing the customer complaints? a. showing sincere attitude. b. making an honest apology. c. making an absolute promise. d. listening to the complaint impatiently.deveryone may all have the experience of feeling anxious and stressed when having a rough day or having some troubles. different people may choose different ways to deal with it, and for most people a break for a 10-minute walk may be quite useful.anyway, here is another way around: to get a piece of chewing gum, and chew it. according to a swinburne university of technology study, gum-chewing has been found to “relieve anxiety, improve alertness(机敏性) and reduce stress among individuals in a laboratory setting.”some may argue that a laboratory is not the same as an office. but check out the conditions of the study: individuals were monitored while performing “a group of multi-tasking activities.” doesnt it sound like the situation in the office?heres a summary of some of the studys findings:u gum chewers showed a reduction in anxiety as compared to non-gum chewers by nearly 17 percent during mild stress and nearly 10 percent in appropriate stress.u gum chewers showed improvement in alertness over non-gum chewers by nearly 19 percent during mild stress and 8 percent in moderate stress.u improved performance: chewing gum resulted in a big improvement in overall performance on multi-tasking activities.although these arent major improvements, every little bit works and chewing a piece of gum is a lot quicker and easier than slipping outside for a 10-minute walk. so, how does gum work this magic? in part it does so by lowering the level of cortisol(皮质醇)a steroid(类固醇) hormone that is released in response to stress in your system.a few words of advice before you reach for the gum: dont crack your gum, and be sure to chew it with your mouth closed. in fact, id say keep the gum out of meetings, because it really looks impolite to others around you.63. from the study in the text we know that_. a. gum chewers may lack alertnessb. gum chewers tend to be less stressedc. gum chewers can finish many jobs perfectlyd. gum chewers can reduce their anger easily64. how does gum work to reduce stress according to the text? a. it works by improving alertness.b. it works by allowing a 10-minute walk.c. it works by reducing ones level of cortisol. d. it works by being chewed in a laboratory setting.65. which one may the author probably a
