Without question there are plenty of bargains to be had at sales time—particularly at the top-quality shops whose reputation depends on having only the best and newest goods in stock each season. They tend, for obvious reasons, to be the fashion or seasonal goods which in due course become the biggest bargains.
It is true that some goods are specially brought in for the sales but these too can provide exceptional value. A manufacturer may have the end of a range left on his hands and be glad to sell the lot off cheaply to shops; or he may have a surplus of a certain material which he is glad to make up and get rid of cheaply; or he may be prepared to produce a special line at low cost merely to keep his employees busy during a slack period. He is likely to have a good many "seconds" available and if their defects are trifling these may be particularly good bargains.
Nevertheless, sales do offer a special opportunity for sharp practices and shoppers need to be extra critical. For example the "second" should be clearly marked as such and not sold as if they were perfect. (The term "substandard", incidentally, usually indicates a more serious defect than "seconds".) More serious is the habit of marking the price down from an alleged previous price which is in fact fictitious. Misdescription of this and all other kinds is much practiced by the men who run one day sales of carpets in church halls and the like. As the sellers leave the district the day after the sale there is little possibility of
redress
. In advertising sales, shops may say "only 100 left" when in fact they have plenty more; conversely they may say "10 000 at half-price" when only a few are available at such a drastic reduction. If ever the warning "let the buyer beware" were necessary it is during sales.
The second paragraph deals with all of the following types of goods EXCEPT ______.
选项
A、surplus goods
B、low-cost goods
C、the end lot goods
D、exceptionally valued goods
答案
D
解析
第二段作者说:确实有的商品就是用作降价的,但是它们也能给商家带来额外的价值。厂家手头可能有一批货底子,很想送到商店里去降价处理掉;或者厂家有一批剩余的材料,他们想把这些材料制成商品减价处理掉;或许厂家只是为了让工人在淡季有活干而生产一批低成本的产品,厂家也可能是有一大批二等品,产品有瑕疵,但并不严重,可以成为很好的降价商品。作者在这里没有提到特别有价值的商品。
