2014年12月大学英语四级阅读理解练习题(三)
作者:城市网 来源:城市网学院 更新日期:2013-11-7

  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 claims, the first step is to present the warranty, 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 #mon method used by many consumers is to #plain directly to the store manager. In general, the “higher up” his or her #plaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer's favor, assuming he or she has a just claim.

  Consumers should #plain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the #plaint 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 #ing out of the right one is unclear” is better than “This stereo does not work”. The store manager may advice the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the #plaint as politely and firmly as possible. If a polite #plaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go to 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 consumer's rights.
