C.tipping is unnecessary ａｎｄ　unreasonable, but people in America have to, fｏｒit is a social custom

D.consumers only pay what they have to pay fｏｒa given service, because they don\'t like tipping

正确答案:C

3、According to the passage, the decisive factｏｒin maintaining a firm\'s competitive advantage is（）.【阅读理解A】

A.the introduction of new technologies

B.the improvement of workers\' basic skills

C.the rational composition of professional ａｎｄ　managerial employees

正确答案:B

答案解析:根据本文，保持公司竞争优势的决定性因素是什么。文章开头第一句话便指出：“如果持续性的竞争优势取决于劳动者技能的话，那么美国公司正面临着难题”。第三段中又指出：“员工基本技能的培训使得他们吸收掌握新技术成为可能。”B项“提高工人的基本技能”与文章内容相近，故B为正确答案。

B.accept responsibility fｏｒgiving a product customer appeal

C.advise them on the best time to go ahead with production

D.consult them during the design ａｎｄ　development stages

正确答案:B

答案解析:第二段The designer is busy enough without adding customer-appeal to all his other problems of man-hours and machine tolerances ａｎｄ　stress factors. So they just go ahead ａｎｄ　make the thing ａｎｄ　leave it to the advertiser to find eleven ways of making it appeal to purchasers after they have finished it, by pretending that it confers status, ｏｒattracts love, ｏｒsignifies manliness. If the advertising agency can do this authoritatively enough, the manufacturer is in clover.在产品设计和研发阶段，厂家可以有足够的时间来考虑而不必担心是否每个人都会买它。设计人员在忙于考虑诸如劳动力时间、机器强度以及压力因素时可以不考虑消费者喜好的因素。所以他们可以只管生产出产品然后让广告商通过声称此商品象征身份、地位，能够吸引爱情或是彰显男人魅力等，去寻找足够的理由来吸引消费者购买。倘若广告代理果真能做到足够令人信服，厂家则可高枕无忧了。因此选B。

D.tell us the Standardized tipping level in several cases

正确答案:C

答案解析:从第3段第2句“In America, the custom has become institutionalized”可推知，后面引用的数据都是说明作者的这个观点。
