M: What do you mean？
W: Well, they have to be very careful not to offend people -- especially parents with young kids who might buy a CD that contained violent content or used strong language.
M: How can that be avoided？
W: Well, don't you remember when that woman -- some senator's wife, I think, made a fuss over this issue？ It's not really a law, but music companies are now encouraged to put a warning label on albums that describe violence or use strong language.
M: I don't understand. Doesn't that reduce the musician's freedom of speech？
W: Not really. Musicians still have a right to free speech, but the message on the label says, "Buyer, be careful: if you get upset by violence and ugly language, don't buy this album." You agree with that, don't you？
M: I don't know. I still think the whole thing is funny and unreasonable. Musicians should have the right to say what they want to say without having to have a warning label put on their music, I mean, who gets to decide what is considered offensive and what isn't, we don't need a sticker to tell us what to do!

W: Would you leave for a foreign country if they ask you to go？
M: It depends what they want and how long they want me to stay away from home.
W: Did you know that some people say that both foreign companies and foreign countries take the most talented people away from their homes in developing countries on purpose？

M: So it would be to the advantages of a country to allow skilled immigrants in？
W: Yes, of course it would.
M: But then why don't developed countries let in more skilled workers？

Probably the most crucial area for controlling costs is inventory. Companies don't want to overproduce and have unsold stock of their product piled up in warehouses. Wholesale companies and large retail chains employ several techniques for inventory control. This is where the computer revolution really had an impact. Computerized information systems give precise and up-to-date accounts of inventory on hand. And the field of distribution offers good entry-level jobs for persons with training in computer programming or data processing.
Overseeing the whole area of distribution is the distribution manager. This job is becoming increasingly important and can lead to an executive position.
According to the passage, why is the distribution step in marketing getting more attention？
A．It is where companies research and develop new products.
B．It is where companies can cut costs.
C．It is where employees can update their computer skills.
D．It provides jobs for college graduates.
Cafepress. com is one of the latter group. It's a website that provides users with online stores where they can sell shirts, mugs, and mousepads customized with their own logos and/or slogans. By itself, this is a fairly useful service, and an example of how the Internet has changed the art of marketing and customer service.
Cafepress. com, however, is rather remarkable for another reason. Customers don't need to print large lots of items. They don't need to worry about shipping the goods to their customers. And they don't need to talk to another human being to get their store "built" in the first place. The site lets you upload an image and choose what sort of item you'd like it to appear on. You can then choose how much to mark the item up--the difference between the item's base cost and your mark-up price is your profit.
Base prices are high, but understandable when you consider what cafepress. com does for the initial investment. An 11-ounce mug starts at ＄10.99. For that, cafepress. com prints the mug on a piece-by-piece basis, provides the ordering software, handles the money, packs it, and ships it for you. The mug's purchaser pays shipping and handling costs; the store owner's effort is limited to uploading the original image for the mug, setting the cost, and writing a brief description of the item.
It seems to be catching on. "More and more companies come to us, who want to do some kind of merchandising, who want to offer a range of products to their users, but don't want the hassles associated with it," says Maheesh Jain, cafepress, corn's co-founder and vice-president. "That's where we come in--we're one of the few companies that offer this kind of full-service solution."
But the most exciting aspect of cafepress, com is not its ability to help major corporations outsource and customize their merchandising efforts. What's remarkable about the system is how simple it is to open a store. An average individual with an idea that could sell 50 T-shirts or mugs can't justify a traditional merchandising effort, but with cafepress. com, users can easily bring ideas to fruition with very little time and no financial risk. Moreover, the quality of the merchandise is good; I've ordered a mug and a shirt from cafepress. com, and both were shipped relatively promptly, and arrived exactly as promised.
Cafepress. com is an idea that's easy to get excited about. It's a small--but tangible--example of how the Internet can change the way we live.
