15.Stopfighting．

16.betweenbetween解析：“…relation…actionsandtheirconsequences”意為“…行動(dòng)和它們的結(jié)果…關(guān)系”，空處顯然缺“之間”。

17.customercustomer解析：從這個(gè)句子的賓語(yǔ)“…thatheorshehasdoneagoodjobofchoosingtheitems．”可以看出，這里說(shuō)的是顧客的行為，他們認(rèn)為自己買這些商品是很理性的。故答案為customer。

18.thatthat解析：此空之后的內(nèi)容為suggests的內(nèi)容，即此處應(yīng)填that，引導(dǎo)賓語(yǔ)從句。

19.acrossacross解析：getacross意為“使(觀點(diǎn)等)被理解或接受，講清自己的意思”，此句意為“給他們講清巨大的成功不會(huì)輕易、快速地到來(lái)很重要?！?/p>

20.promisingpromising解析：此句意為“一家大制造公司最近采訪了許多…的工程師，這些工程師都已離開這家公司。”由上下句判斷，此空處填“有希望的，有前景的”最合句意。

21.InsteadInstead解析：由本句句意“…修一臺(tái)烤箱或一臺(tái)收音機(jī)，買一臺(tái)新的、扔掉舊的更容易、更便宜…”可知，肯定是“不修”，又因?yàn)橛薪樵~of，所以應(yīng)填intead。insteadof意為“不做某事”，是固定短語(yǔ)。

22.thoughthough解析：本句話的意思是“盡管知道顧客們可能不知道自己為什么買了這些商品，但是賣家卻知道怎么去做?！惫蚀鸢笧閠hough。

23.boughtbought解析：本句的前一句話說(shuō)“顧客認(rèn)為他們需要一些他們其實(shí)不需要的商品。”這就是廣告的作用。但是買完之后，“他們卻不知道當(dāng)時(shí)為什么買了這種商品。”這里是被動(dòng)的句式。故答案為bough
