22、eading Comprehension (40 points)Directions: Read the following five passages. Answer the questions below each passage by choosing A, B, C and D. Mark your answer on ANSWER SHEET 1. Passage 1What do consumers really want? Thats a question market researchers would love to answer. But since people dont

23、 always say what they think, marketeers would need direct access to consumers thoughts to get the truth.Now, in a way, that is possible. At the Mind of the Market” laboratory at Harvard Business School, researchers are looking inside shoppers skulls to develop more effective advertisements and marke

24、ting pitches. Using imaging techniques that measure blood flow to various parts of the brain, the Harvard team hopes to predict how consumers will react to particular products and to discover the most effective ways to present information. Stephen Kosslyn, a professor of psychology at Harvard, and b

25、usiness school professor Gerald Zaltman. oversee the lab. The goal is not to manipulate peoples preferences,” says Kosslyn. but to speak to their actual desires. The groups findings, though still preliminary, could radically change how firms develop and market new products.The Harvard group use posi

26、tron emission tomography (PET) （正电子发射X射线层析照相术） scans to monitor the brain activity. These PET scans, along with other non-invasive imaging techniques, enable researchers to see which parts of the brain are active during specific tasks (such as remembering a word). Correlations have been found betwee

27、n blood flow to specific areas and future behavior. Because of this, Harvard researchers believe the scans can also predict future purchasing patterns. According to an unpublished paper the group produced. It is possible to use these techniques to predict not only whether people will remember and ha

28、ve specific emotional reactions to certain materials, but also whether they will be inclined to want those materials months later.The Harvard group is now moving into the next stage of experiments. They will explore how people remember advertisements as part of an effort to predict how they will rea

29、ct to a product after having seen an ad. The researchers believe that once key areas of the brain are identified, scans on about two dozen volunteers will be enough to draw conclusions about the reactions of specific segments of the population. Large corporationsincluding Coca Cola, Eastman Kodak, G

30、eneral Motors, and Hallmarkhave already signed up to fund further investigations.For their financial support, these firms gain access to the experiments but cannot control them. If Kosslyn and Zaltman and their team can really read the mind of the market, then consumers may find it even harder to ge
