  In the more and more competitive service industry, it is no longer enough to promise customer satisfaction.Today, customer “delight” is what companies are trying to achieve in order to keep and increase market share.

  It is accepted in the marketing industry, and confirmed by a number of researchers, that customers receiving good service will promote business by telling up to 12 other people; those treated badly tell tales of worse to up to 20 people.Interestingly, 80 percent of people who feel their complaints are handled fairly will stay loyal.

  New challenges for customer care have come when people can obtain goods and services through telephone call centers and the Internet.For example, many companies now have to invest a lot of money in information technology and staff training in order to cope with the “phone rage”-caused by delays in answering calls, being cut off in mid-conversation or left waiting for long periods.

  “Many people do not like talking to machines, ” says Dr, Storey, Senior Lecturer in Marketing at City University Business School.“Banks, for example, encourage staff at call centers to use customer data to establish instant and good relationship with them.The aim is to make the customer feel they know you and that you can trust them -the sort of comfortable feelings people have during face-to-face chats with their local branch manager.”

  Recommended ways of creating customer delight include:under-promising and over-delivering(saying that a repair will be carried out within five hours, but getting it done within two); replacing a faulty product immediately; throwing in a gift coupon as an unexpected “thank you” to regular customers; and always returning calls, even when they are complaints.

  Airlines face some of the toughest challenges over customer care.Fierce competition has convinced them that delighting passengers is an important marketing tool, while there is great potential for customer anger over delays caused by weather, unclaimed luggage and technical problems.

  For British Airways staff, a winning telephone style is considered vital in handling the large volume of calls about bookings and flight times.The Airways also says its customer care policies are applied within the company and staff are taught to regard each other as customers requiring the highest standards of service.

  Customer care is obviously here to stay and it would be a foolish company that used slogans such as “we do as we please”.On the other hand, the more customers are promised, the greater the risk of disappointment.

                                   A

Scars of Love

Some years ago on a hot summer day in south Florida a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house. In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out of the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks and shirt as he went.

He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator(短吻鳄) was getting close. The mother in the house was looking out of the window and saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In great fear, she ran toward the water, yelling to her son as loudly as she could. Hearing her voice, the little boy became alarmed and made a U-turn to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the alligator reached him. From the dock, the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched (抓住) his legs. That began an unbelievable tug-of-war (拔河比赛) between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the mother, but the mother was much too passionate to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard their screams, rushed from his truck, took aim and shot the alligator.

Remarkably, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred (留下伤疤) by the terrible attack of the animal. And on his arms, were deep scratches where his mother’s fingernails dug into his flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved.

The newspaper reporter, who interviewed the boy after the trauma (外伤), asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted the pant legs. And then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter, “Look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my mum wouldn’t let go.”

You and I can identify with (认同) that little boy. We have scars, too. Not from an alligator, but the scars of a painful past. Some of those scars are unsightly and have caused us deep regret. But, some wounds, my friends, are because we have refused to let go.

56. The underlined part “the two” in the second paragraph refers to ______.

   A. the alligator and the mother         B. the mother and the son

C. the driver and the alligator          D. the son and the alligator

57. From the passage we can infer ________.

   A. The mother was unwilling to let the alligator go

   B. The mother was actually stronger than the alligator

   C. The son was proud of his scars on his arms

   D. The son was ashamed of his scars on his legs

58. According to the last paragraph, what is the writer’s real meaning?

   A. To forget the past is to betray.       B. We should forget the scars.

   C. Wounds are different from scars.     D. We should learn to let go sometimes.
