1989 by three Australian and two American businessmen,and was incorporated and fully Australianized in December 1990.The concept was to revolutionize the car-washing industry,which is dominated in most countries by the major petrol companies.The brand is strong on environmental considerations,with less polluting grease and chemicals being released into public drains,and 80 percent reclaiming and recycling of all water used in the car-washing process.These public benefits are supplemented by private benefits to consumers,since the laser technology also results in less damage to cars when they are washed,additionally the facility is easy to use in a bright,clean retailing atmosphere,as opposed to the often greasy facilities an low service priority offered at petrol stations.Business activities initially gave emphasis to the Australian operations,resulting in 48 car washes by 1995,14 of them company owned and 34 of them franchised.Franchising was seen as an important way to grow the business in the first five years.Since 1995,the number of car washes has increased to about 80,with all additions being company owned.The original strategy was to develop the concept,prove that it could be multiplied in the mode of McDonalds,and then take it to other countries.The decision to internationalize was therefore present at the beginning of the companys life.However,it was more of a dream,rather than a grand plan,according -4-to Mr.Steve Spencer,managing director of Carlovers International,in an interview for this case study.The McDonalds experience was always an inspirational factor,providing a lesson in developing a good concept,proving it domestically and then going international.1.What are the Carlovers advantages over the traditional car-washing service?A.It releases less polluting grease and chemicals into public drains.B.It can reclaim and recycle 80 percent of all water used in the car-washing process.C.Its laser technology results in less damage to cars when they are washed.D.All the above.2.What is the purpose of this article?A.To tell the readers the success story of the Carlovers.B.To give a good example of the need to be flexible in terms of both entry modes and international marketing programs.C.To give the readers the information on newest development in the car-washing business.D.To give some advice to small and medium-sized companies as to how to enter the international market.3.The standard textbook model of market selection is suitable for _ A.large-sized companies B.multi-national corporations C.small and medium-sized companies D.companies in car wash industry.4.What could we infer from this passage?A.In foreign market selection,we must base our decisions on the reality that we face.B.In foreign market selection,we can follow textbook models.C.In foreign market selection serendipity is an essential factor.D.Running a big business,we must be receptive to new ideas.5.Which of the following is NOT true?A.Steve Spencer gives emphasis to opportunities.B.Steve Spencer emphasizes chance meeting.C.Steve Spencer is glad to accept the less viable options.D.Steve Spencer is in favor of seizing the best opportunities as they present themselves.Part II Read the article and choose the best sentence to fill each of the gaps.Mark one letter(A-G)on your answer sheet.There is an example at the beginning.(0)(10 2,-5-20%)Passage 1 Last year over 13bn was spent on advertising in the UK and research indicates that most people will have seen 2m sales messages by the time they are 30.Advertising is big business and often acts as the interface between commerce and culture.While there are many adverts that just irritate,there are some that are miniature works of art.(0).G.The advertisers themselves believe they are delivering an important message because they are protecting and promoting a clients brand and extending greater choice to the consumer.(8).Instead of being free,many TV channels would only be available on subscription packages of about 500 per month and newspapers might cost six times more than their present cover price.There are many different models of advertising practice,but no one is precisely sure what makes a good advert.(9).While some try to get you to buy a product,others,such as anti-smoking campaigns,aim to get you not to do something.Some adverts are not aimed at consumers at all,but at retailers,shareholders or employees.For example,manufacturers often advertise their products in trade magazines to reassure retailers that a new brand will be widely promoted.Petrol companies often choose to emphasise how environmentally friendly they are;this is to offset any negative public perceptions of the industry rather than to persuade consumers to buy an individual brand of petrol.(10).This is because petrol is regarded,in advertising terms,as a distress purchase.We get it because we cant do without it,not because we really want it.In general,however,the main aim of advertising is to attribute emotional qualities to a product in order to create an individual brand that the consumer can associate with.Working out whether an advert has been successful is extremely difficult.(11).For example,what persuaded them to buy a car?You cannot be sure whether it was the advertising,the price,the oppositions distribution,changes in the law or changes in consumer attitudes that was the determining factor.What advertising cant do is make consumers buy something they dont want.It can perhaps persuade you to try something once,but if you dont like what you get,you wont try it again.(12).In other words,where there is no emotional engagement,such as a consumers feelings about a bag of peas,beliefs are much harder to shift.A Moreover,it is almost impossible to get people to change the way they view things they are indifferent to.B Over the last ten years,other forms of advertising,such as direct marketing,have become increasingly popular as well as scientific.C They dont,as the industry well knows,care enough to be brand loyal to such a product.D Whether you accept this argument or not,you have to recognize that without advertising our world would be very different.E The problem lies in isolating precisely what motivates people to behave in a particular way.F This is partly because not all advertisements are designed to do the same thing.G The production costs involved in these can reach higher figures than those for the average movie.-6-Part III Put the following sentences into the right order and make it a complete letter(5 2 10%)a.Now we are in the process of making new catalog and price list to portrait all these changes.b.We appreciate your interest in our products,but the present catalog does not include some new items we have recently developed.c.Besides,the increasingly rising cost in labor has pushed the cost of our products higher;therefore,our prices will have to be adjusted accordingly.d.We will send them to you after they are ready in 10 days.e.I am sorry for not being able to send you immediately our catalog and price list you asked for in your letter dated May 5.Part IV Translate the following sentences.(20%)1.随函附寄最新的价目单与商品目录,其中第 9 页详细介绍了我方产品特色。Part V Writing(30%)Directions:For this part,you are required to write a letter based on the following background information.大润发(RT-MART)位于花都区新华镇龙珠路
