It just doesnt make sense. However, taking customers for granted is a routine in some business organizations.Loyal customers are an organizations only protection against bankruptcy(破产), and losing them because of neglect or indifference is really wrong. Not only do satisfied customers continue to buy by themselves, but they often encourage others to buy. This is advertising that doesnt cost a penny. Although there are always problems in giving good service to customers, maintaining their business isnt all that difficult. Its a matter of attitude, of believing that everyone who buys from you is entitled to the best treatment you can deliver. Plus giving just a little more than you have to.There are always problems in giving good service to customers. The reason, of course, is that no organization is perfect, and theres many a slip: unreasonable delays in filling orders, shipping the wrong goods, failing to answer letters promptly, and so on. Sometimes these errors or failures cant be helped. For example, if you cant get parts because of material shortages or a transportation strike, customers may be denied the goods theyve ordered. No matter who is at fault, customers whom you value highly should generally be given the benefit of the doubt. The old saying that all customers should be treated alike is a myth. Customers who repeatedly place large orders and pay for them will naturally, get more attention than those who buy infrequently and have to be badgered to pay what they owe. However, you have to make the assumption that all customers are good unless proved otherwise.1. From the second paragraph, we can know that _.

Whether you rose five or 100 floors, it probably took less than a few minutes. Now imagine riding in an elevator higher and higher as it climbs for nearly a day. When you reach the top floor, prepare for views that are really out of this world. Youll be in space! Space elevators might sound like a crazy idea, but theyre something scientists have been working on for decades.At the moment, riding in a capsule is the only way ordinary people can get to and from space. But those rides are very expensive-about $ 25 million per person per flight. Now scientists are making efforts to reduce the expense of those rides.Researchers are still figuring out the details about how a space elevator might work. One idea is stretching a very long cablemore than 37,000 kilometersup to space from the earths equator (赤道). Objects in space above the equator orbit (绕的轨道飞行) the earth at the same speed that our planet turns. A weight on the end of the cable would stretch it tight. An elevator tied to the cable could use it to climb up and down.The only problem is that besides being long, this cable must also be very strong. Storms, including hurricanes might break it. One way to solve this problem is to stretch the cable from the moon instead of from the earth. Airplanes designed to climb higher than a typical jet might take off from the earth and link up with the cable, which would be held in place by the pull of gravity from th
