问题     Public image refers to how a company is viewed by its customers, suppliers, and stockholders, by the financial community, by the communities【C1】______it operates, and by federal and local governments. Public image is controllable【C2】______considerable extent, just as the product, price, place, and promotional efforts are.
    A firm’s public image plays a vital role in the【C3】______of the firm and its products to employees, customers, and to such outsiders【C4】______stockholders, suppliers, creditors, government officials, as well as【C5】______special groups. With some things it is impossible to【C6】______all the diverse publics: for example, a new highly automated plant may meet the approval of creditors and stockholders,【C7】____________ it will undoubtedly find【C8】______from employees who see their jobs【C9】______On the other hand, high-quality products and service standards should bring almost complete approval,【C10】______low-quality products and【C11】______claims would be widely looked down upon.
    A firm’s public image, if it is good, should be treasured and protected. It is a valuable【C12】______that usually is built up over a long and satisfying relationship of a firm with publics. If a firm has learned a quality image, this is not easily【C13】______or imitated by competitors. Such an image may enable a firm to【C14】______higher prices, to win the best distributors and dealers, to attract the best employees, to expect the most【C15】______creditor relationships and lowest borrowing costs. It should also allow the firm’s stock to command higher price-earnings【C16】______than other firms in the same industry with such a good reputation and public image.
    A number of factors affect the public image of a corporation.【C17】______include physical【C18】______, contacts of outsiders【C19】______company employees, product quality and dependability, prices【C20】______to competitors, customer service, the kind of advertising and the media and programs used, and the use of public relations and publicity.
【C6】
选项 A、satisfy
B、treat
C、amuse
D、entertain
答案A
解析 根据上文，企业形象要求公司和产品对各种群体有吸引力，而本句impossible和all the diverse publics表明作者想辩证来看以避免绝对化，所以此句和上文是转折关系；根据选项可知，此句意思是“在一些事情上不可能满足所有公众的要求”。A选项satisfy意为“满足，使满意”，符合题意；B选项treat意为“对待，看待，治疗”，C选项amuse意为“使发笑，使愉快”，D选项entertain意为“娱乐，招待，接受”，与题意都不符。
