回答下列各题： Every time a customer makes a purchase, the Jones and May Till do a lot more than just producing their change and a receipt. With the help of an advanced computer system the Tills feed the information to their central computers, which calculate what stock is needed. (8) They are then almost instantly able to organize the following days or weeks deliveries. (9 ) For example, food shelves do not sell out early on a Saturday as they used to and a wider range of goods are available on a Monday. Using advanced communication between stores, Head Office and suppliers, the computers work out what has been sold each day, what suppliers need to produce, and what should be delivered to stores the following day. (10) Fewer customers are disappointed and profits improve. (11) When a new seasons range of clothes goes into stores in a variety of colors, the computer system makes it possible to respond to sales data almost overnight and, for example, increase the production of clothes in faster-selling colors and sizes. On the occasion that an item is temporarily out of stock, information technology enables sales staff to tell customers immediately whether it is available from the distribution center. If it is, an order can be placed. (12) So next time you are handed a Jones and May receipt you will know that the system is already reacting to your purchase and re-ordering the item you have just bought. A．This involves serious delays and damages customer confidence. B．Among the benefits for clothing is the fact that stores receive new deliveries according to their exact requirements. C．This unusually responsive system provides benefits in terms of both customer service and profits. D．This information is fed from there directly into the suppliers computers, E．The new system has halved the delivery time for customers down to 24 hours from 48 hours. F．Such a quick and sensitive response ensures that the right amount of fresh food arrives at each store. G．Their desktop computers can access sales data from the tills allowing them to change orders. 第(8)________
