听力原文： More than sixty percent of all homes in the United States have at least one thing in common: the people living in them keep one or more small animals as pets. These pet owners spend about ten billion dollars each year to buy, feed' and care for their animals. Why？ If you ask the owners, their answers probably would be emotional.
During the past ten years researchers have been attempting to find a more scientific answer. Much of the research on the ties between people and pets is being done at the University of Pennsylvania. Re searchers there have watched hundreds of people play with small animals. Some were very sick. Perhaps the most important observation was the physical effect the animals had on most of the people.

听力原文：M: Do you know what happened to me today？ I was so embarrassed.
W: What？
M: Well, Dr. Brown's class finished ten minutes early, so I went to the library between classes. I knew I didn't have much time, but I wanted to get those books on the Industrial Revolution. I looked them up in the card catalog and went right to the stacks and found them. So t put them in my book bag and headed back toward the door. Then it happened.

Why Seeing is Succeeding
Lee Chung of the Seattle Business Institute explains
There are some executives who get it right. They launch winning products, and have a feeling for what customers like and dislike. They do not depend on research or secondary information, and yet they know the market extremely well.
Take Steve Banks, developer of the best-selling personal finance software, Finax. He had noticed how difficult it was to use existing software products, and realised there was a gap in the market. Although 46 competing pack- ages were available when Finax was launched, it quickly succeeded in attracting the majority of customers.
Then consider the UK oil group which learnt that a new chain of hypermarket petrol stations was overtaking its own outlets. The competitor's success was due to a higher standard of service and facilities. The oil group's managers could have discovered this by going to observe these stations. for ten minutes. Instead the oil group contacted an agency to carry out more market research.
One of the Institute's most striking findings is that the best business strategists see things for themselves. They do not just analyse, but get out into the field with their customers, and gain first-hand experience of their products.
Successful executives base their strategies on reliable data about their clients' requirements.
A．Right
B．Wrong
C．Doesn't say
