When a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some other way does not
live up to
the manufacturer’ s claim for it, the first step is to present the warranty(保单), or any other records which might help, at the store of purchase. In most cases, this action will produce results. However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction. A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the "higher up" the consumer takes his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer’ s favour, assuming he or she has a just claim.
Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.
Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, "The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear" is better than "This stereo(立体声音响)does not work. "
The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumers’ rights.
The phrase "live up to" (Para. 1) in the context means______.
选项
A、meet the standard of
B、realize the purpose of
C、fulfil the demands of
D、keep the promise of
答案
A
解析
推理题。根据文章第一段第一句可知,当顾客发现他所购买的商品有毛病或在某种程度上与制造商描述的不一致时,第一步是拿出在商店购买商品时的保单。live up to在这里是“达到”的意思,。选项B(实现……目的)、选项C(满足……要求)和选项D(履行……承诺)均与原文意思不符。选项A(达到……标准)正是原文所表达的意思,故本题选A。
