问题     Things are finally being made in the U.S.A. again! Better yet, a whole new crop of newer businesses are growing based on the fact that every product they sell is manufactured right here in the United States. Most newer businesses are for products made and marketed locally, such as a dog biscuit brand out of San Luis Obispo, but old standards like Unionwear are still going strong. In fact, Unionwear owner has had a whole host of new customers calling him.
    The fact that more consumers are seeking out American-made products in greater numbers is a good thing for business owners. That means that they will be willing to pay a little bit more for your products and services—as long as you capitalize on the fact that your products were made here.
    The shift back to treasuring American-made goods follows several horrific disasters in factories overseas. Coupled with the public’s strong desire to see the American economy rise again, many consumers are looking for products made in the U.S.A., even if they cost a bit more. Even Walmart is making an effort to carry more domestically made goods in stores. Ultimately, your customers want to buy things without having to wonder if a small child made it for just pennies a day.
    This renewed passion for domestic products is great for businesses. Forecasters predict that labor costs in China are going to rise, which means that the country will no longer be the center of cheap manufacturing. If the cost of Chinese labor surges, it will no longer be cost-efficient for companies to ship their manufacturing jobs overseas.
    If your business is not already manufacturing domestically, maybe now is the time you should start. If your business already makes its products in the United States, now is a great time for marketing. When you are reminding potential customers that your products are America-made, be sure to be clear. False patriotism will turn your customers off, even if you have a great product.
    The fact that consumers are seeking American products with renewed intensity encourages all business owners to take advantage of this passion by cleverly marketing the fact that you are a domestic or local business. With patriotic summer holidays upon us, why not have a sale to capitalize on your company’s patriotic support of the American economy? Your customers will love it and so will you.
It can be inferred from the first paragraph that Unionwear is______.
选项 A、a set of quality standards for various commodities
B、a shop that has never sold any locally-made products
C、a shop that has been selling mostly home-made goods
D、is a stock that has been rising in value in America
答案C
解析 在第一段，作者指出美国越来越多的公司销售国内生产的商品，不仅有新成立的公司，还有老牌的公司，如Unionwear。该公司不仅生意兴隆，而且招来不少新顾客。这说明Unionwear是家贸易公司。此外，从公司的名字上也可找到些线索，union本身的意义是“联合会”或“联盟”，如the student union(学生会)，the Union就是指“美国”，而wear可联想到“服装”。
