There was once a captain who loved money so much that he cheated his sailors at the end of every voyage and took their wages.

On the last day of one voyage, the ship was in a small port. It was winter time, and the sea was very cold, so the captain said to his sailors, “ If one of you stays in the water during the whole night, I will give him my ship. But if he comes out before the sun appears, I shall get his wages.(工资)”

The sailors had heard about the captain’ cheating, so they didn’t trust him. But then one of them, who thought that he was cleverer than the captain, said that he would do it. He got into the water and, though it was very cold, stayed in it. When it was nearly morning, some fishermen lit a fire on the shore abut half a mile away.

“ You are cheating,” the captain said to the sailor. “ The fire’s warming you.”

“ But it’s half a mile away.” Said the sailor.

“ A fire is fire,” answered the captain.

“ Perhaps you think that you are clever because you have won my wages, but you can’t cook a chicken,” said the sailor.

“ I can’t,” answered the captain.

“ If you cook this chicken,” said the sailor, “ I shall work for you without wages for seven years, but if you can’t, you will give me your ship.”

The captain agreed, took the chicken and said, “ Where’s the fire?”

“There it is,” answered the sailors, “ On the shore.”

“ ‘A fire’s fire’, you said,” answered the sailor. “ If it is enough to warm me in the water, it is enough to cook your chicken.”

Complaints(投诉) should be made to a responsible person. Go back to the shop where you bought the goods, taking with you any receipt(收据) you may have. Ask to see the seller in a large store. In a small store the assistant may also be the owner so you can complain directly. In a chain store, ask to see the manager. If you telephone, ask the name of the person who handles your enquiry, otherwise you may never find out who deals with the complaint later.

Even the bravest person finds it difficult to stand up in a group of people to complain, so if you do not want to do it in person, write a letter. Stick to the facts and keep a copy of what you write. At this stage, you should give any receipt number, but you should not need to give receipts or other papers to prove you bought the article. If you are not satisfied with the answer you get, or if you do not get a reply, write to the managing director of the firm, store, or organization. Be sure to keep copies of your own letter and any you receive.

If your complaint is a just one, the shopkeeper may offer to replace or repair the faulty article. You may find it an attractive solution. In certain cases you may have the right to refuse the goods and ask for the money back, but this is when you have hardly used the goods and have acted at once. Even when you cannot refuse the goods you may be able to get some money back as well. And you have suffered some special loss, if, for example, a new washing machine tears your clothes, you might receive money to repair them.

60. The shoppers may make a complaint because ____.

A.they dislike causing a fuss(大惊小怪)

B.it doesn’t do what is claimed(要求) for it

C.the article is not up to standard

D.they are at fault in buying the article

61. If you write a letter to complain, _____.

A.it is important to keep a record of what you say

B.it is necessary to send receipts

C.say how you feel about the matter

D.ask what receipt numbers you should give

62. You can demand your money back only if ____.

A.the article cannot be replaced or repaired

B.you have gone back immediately

C.the article has not gone up in price since you bought it

D.the article has defects(缺陷)

63. You may be able to claim extra money when ____.

A.you have been hurt
