When a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some way does not live up to the manufacturer's claim for it, 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 common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the "higher up" the consumer takes his or her complaint, 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 complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.
Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly and especially when the consumer can show what is wrong with the item he has bought. 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 coming out of the right one is unclear" is better than "This stereo does not work".
The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer if so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or pubic organization responsible for protecting consumers' rights.
When a consumer finds that his purchase has a fault in it, the first thing he should do is to ().
A.complain personally to the manager
B.threaten to take the matter to court
C.write a firm letter of complaint to the store of purchase
D.show their written proof of the purchase to the store
The next morning, at the appointed hour, the Judge, came up the dirt road, leading the sorriest looking specimen of a horse ever seen in those parts of Illinois. The large crowd viewing the spectacle burst out laughing, already knowing that Abe Lincoln was bound to get the worst of the deal. A poorer horse just couldn't exist anywhere and still be walking.
In a few minutes, however, Mr. Lincoln was seen approaching the general store carrying something quite large and bulky on his shoulders. As he drew nearer, the crowd saw what it was, and great shouts and laughter broke out. The shouts and laughter soon broke into a thunderous roar when Mr. Lincoln, looking carefully and seriously over the Judge's animal, set down his sawhorse(锯木架), and exclaimed, "Well, Judge, this is the first time I ever got the worst of it in a horse trade."
This passage concerns ______.
A.the life of Abe Lincoln
B.a horse trade made by Abe Lincoln
C.a gambling in Illinois
D.Abe Lincoln's philosophy

When Williams wanted to put on his boots, he would murmur" boots" and within seconds the dog would drop them at his feet. At nine every morning, Prince ran off to the general store in the village, returning shortly not only with Williams ' daily paper but with a half-ounce packet of Williams' favorite tobacco, John Rainey's Mixed. A gun dog by breed, Prince possessed a large soft mouth specially evolved for the safe carrying of hunted creatures, so the paper and the tobacco came to no harm, never even showing a tooth mark.
Williams was a railway man, an engine driver, and he wore a blue uniform. which smelled of oil and oil fuel. He had to work at odd times—"days" , "late days" or" nights". Over the years Prince got to know these periods of work and rest, knew when his master would leave the house and return, and the dog did not waste this knowledge. If Williams overslept, as he often did, Prince barked at the bedroom door until he woke, much to the annoyance of the family. On his return, Williams'slippers were brought to him, the paper and tobacco too if previously under livered.

The house Was turned upside down in the search, but the wallet was not found. However, two days later — that was five days after the fall — Prince dropped the wallet into William's hand.
