Passage Four<br>
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.<br>
<br>
We can see how the product life cycle works by looking at the introduction of 
instant coffee. When it was introduced, most people did not like it as well as 
&quot;regular&quot;coffee and it took several years to gain general acceptance 
(introduction stage). At one point, though, Instant coffee grew rapidly in 
popularity and many brands were introduced (stage of rapid growth). After a 
while people became attached to one brand and sales leveled off (stage of 
maturity). Sales went into a slight decline （衰退）when freeze-dried 
coffees were introduced (stage of decline).<br>
<br>
The importance of the product life cycle to marketers is this: Different stages 
in the product life cycle call for different strategies. The goal is to extend 
product life so that sales and profits do not decline. One strategy is called 
market modification. It means that marketing managers look for new users and 
market sections. Did you know, for example, that the backpacks that so many 
students carry today were originally designed for the military?<br>
<br>
Market modification also means searching for increased usage among present 
customers or going for a different market, such as senior citizens. A marketer 
may re-position the product to appeal to new market sections.<br>
<br>
Another product extension strategy is called product modification. It involves 
changing product quality, features, or style to attract new users or more usage 
from present users. American auto manufacturers are using quality improvement as 
one way to recapture world markets. Note, also, how auto manufacturers once 
changed styles dramatically from year to year to keep demand from falling.<br>
<br>

A)decrease gradually C)improve enormously<br>

28. Marketers need to know which of the four stages a product is in so as to .<br>
A)work out marketing policies C)promote its production<br>
B)increase its popularity D)speed up its life cycle<br>
<br>
29. The author mentions the example of &quot;backpacks&quot;(Line 4, Para.2 ) to 
show the importance of .<br>
A)increasing usage among students C)pleasing the young as well as the old<br>
B)exploring new market sections D)serving both military and civil needs<br>
