My husband and I married in a large country town. The morning after the wedding, we were going back to my parents’ home. As my husband was packing, I noticed he’d placed my 31 in the luggage crate(大木箱) on top of the car. I said that maybe he should 32 it. He turned and said, “It’ll be 33 . Trust me! It won’t come off.”

Halfway home we had a car come racing up beside us and the driver 34 us down. She said she’d seen a red suitcase on the side of the road several kilometers back and was 35 if it was ours. We looked  36 and, to our 37 , discovered that the case had flown off.

    We raced back, but the case was 38 . We visited the local police station, but as the road was a common link between several towns, we weren’t very 39 . We put it all down to our bad 40 .

    Seven years later, my father got a(n) 41 from a lady asking if I’d lost a red suitcase. Her husband had 42 the case abandoned on the side of the road.

Music will not earn an income unless it is well marketed. No matter how good you are at songwriting, composing music, playing instruments and everything on the creative side of music, you will never earn money without marketing it to your customers.

Let’s look at the steps in marketing and apply(应用) it to the online business world to make an effective marketing plan for your music.

Find out customer’s need

Before you can discover, you need to make it clear who your customers are, by answering the following questions:

First, what industry do your customers belong to? For example, if you are a music producer, your customers will most likely be recording companies.

Second, what field are you in? Music is broad; you need to specialize. Are you a rock songwriter, a pop producer or a jazz musician?

You then need to judge your customer’s need by examining those things already commonly accepted in the marketplace: the lyrics and melodies that are popular.

In this stage, you should examine your competitors by visiting their websites to learn from them. What is done by your competitors in the marketplace(where your business belongs) is most likely to meet your customer’s need.

Predict customer’s need

What you have to predict are the things that even your competitors may not have realized. These can be discovered by doing a survey or interviewing your customers. For example, you need to ask them directly,“What things are you looking for in a music publisher? When you are searching for music online, what would be the best presentation of music material to make you interested?”

                        

Now that you have known what your customers expect from your music, you need to write your music with the goal of meeting their expectations. This time your marketing efforts will most likely pay off.

70.We can learn from the first paragraph that        .

  A.musicians usually have little income

  B.music won’t be popular if it is too creative

  C.to earn money musicians have to give up the creative side of music

  D.it is not enough to only have good music if musicians want to earn money

71.To find out customer’s need, you have to        .

  A.interview a music producer

  B.join a recording company

  C.decide the kind of music you will make

  D.listen to popular songs in all fields

72.What is the best title to be put in the blank?

  A.Change the customers’ attitudes.

  B.Admit your own style.

  C.Meet the customers’ need.

  D.Try to get in touch with the customers.

73.Who are most likely to be interested in the passage?

     Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be. Places of business that used to keep daytime "business
hours" are now open late into the night. And on the Internet, the hour of the day and the day of the week
have become irrelevant (不相关的). A half century ago in the United states, most people experienced strong
and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time. Today the
boundaries still exist, but they seem not clear.
     The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer does. It used
to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer, in most, it still does. And whether the work week
should strengthen its legal limits, or whether it should become more "flexible" is often debated. How should
we, as a society, organize our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we
live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?
     These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize the "law of
time" even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number
of hours, a certain number of days, a certain number of years-but unless we meet the truant officer (学监),
we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom and parents' demand rather than to the
law. As adults we are familiar with "extra pay for overtime working.", but less familiar with the fact that what
constitutes (构成) "overtime" is a matter of legal definition. When we turn the clock forward to start daylight-
saving time, have we ever thought to ourselves; "Here is the law in action"? As we shall see, there is a lot of
law that has great influence on how organize and use time: compulsory education law, overtime law, and
daylight-saving law-as well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, being late to work, time zones, and so on.
Once we begin to look for it, we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess.
1. By saying "Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be," the writer means that _____.
A. work time is equal to rest time
B. many people have a day off on Monday
C. it is hard for people to decide when to rest
D. the line between work time and rest time is unclear
2. The author raises the questions in Paragraph 2 to introduce the fact that people _____.
A. fail to make full use of their time
B. enjoy working overtime for extra pay
C. are unaware of the law of time
D. welcome flexible working hours
3. According to the passage, most children tend to believe that they go to school because they _____.
A. need to acquire knowledge
B. have to obey their parents
C. need to find companions
D. have to observe the law
4. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Our life is governed by the law of time.
B. How to organize time is not worth debating.
C. New ways of using time change our society.
D. Our time schedule is decided by social customs.
