It was difficult for him to even 45 around. His doctor told him that he would lose the ability to move and eventually die from the disease. He was told he had only a 1 in 500 chance of survival.46 the diagnosis（诊断)，Cousins was determined to overcome the disease and survive. He had always been interested in medicine and had read a book, which discussed the idea of how body chemistry and health can be damaged by emotional stress and negative 47. The book made Cousins think about the possible 48 of positive attitudes and emotions. He thought, “Is it possible that love, hope, faith, laughter, confidence, and the 49 to live have positive treatment value?”He decided to concentrate on positive emotions as a way to teat some of the symptoms of his disease. In addition to his traditional medical treatment, he tried to put his treatment.

He is king,” said John Wanamaker, who in 1876 turned an abandoned railway station in Philadelphia into one of the worlds first department stores. This revolutionary concept 55 the face of retailing（零售业）and led to the development of advertising and marketing as we know it today.But convincing as that slogan was, 56 the shopper was cheated out of the crown. 57 manufacturing efficiently increased the variety of goods and lowered prices, people still relied on advertisements to get most information about products. Through much of the past century, ads spoke to an audience restricted to just a few radio or television channels or 58 number of publications. Now media choice has 59 too, and consumers select what they want from a far greater variety of sources - especially with a few clicks of a computer mouse. 60 the internet, the consumer is finally seizing power.As our survey shows, 61 has great implications for companies, because it is changing the way the world shops. Many firms already claim to be “customer-driven” or “consumer-centred”. Now their 62 will be tested as never before.
