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.
Reasons behind the boom of America-made goods include the following EXCEPT______.
选项 A、the eagerness of Americans for a stronger economy
B、the fear that child labor is involved in imported goods
C、some serious disasters that struck factories overseas
D、Walmart’s efforts to transport American-made goods
答案D
解析 第三段主要列举国产货畅销的原因，包括海外工厂发生事故、美国人期盼民族经济复苏。本段最后一句的基本意义是：顾客购买国产货时就不必琢磨是否有童工参与了产品的生产，言外之意是其他某些国家可能存在童工现象。在Walmart is making an effort to carry more domestically made goods in stores这句中，carry的意义不是“运输”，而是deal in，简单说就是“销售”。
