questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
imagine eating everything delicious you want—with none of the that would be great, wouldn’t it?
new “fake fat” products appeared on store shelves in the united states recently, but not everyone is happy about makers of the products, which contain a compound called olestra, say food manufacturers can now eliminate fat from certain critics, however, say the new compound can rob the body of essential vitamins and nutrients（营养物）and can also cause unpleasant side effects in some so it’s up to consumers to decide whether the new fat-free products taste good enough to keep
chemists discovered olestra in the late 1960s, when they were searching for a fat that could be digested by infants more instead of finding the desired fat, the researchers created a fat that can’t be digested at
normally, special chemicals in the intestines（肠） “grab” molecules of regular fat and break them down so they can be used by the a molecule of regular fat is made up of three molecule of substances called fatty
the fatty acids are absorbed by the intestines and bring with them the essential vitamins a, d, e, and when fat molecules are present in the intestines with any of those vitamins, the vitamins attach to the molecules and are carried into the
olestra, which is made from six to eight molecules of fatty acids, is too large for the intestines to it just slides through the intestines without being broken manufacturers say it’s that ability to slide unchanged through the intestines that makes olestra so valuable as a fat it provides consumers with the taste of regular fat without any bad effects on the but critics say olestra can prevent vitamins a, d, e, and k from being it can also prevent the absorption of carotenoids（类胡萝卜素）, compounds that may reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease,
manufacturers are adding vitamins a, d, e, and k as well as carotenoids to their products even so, some nutritionists are still concerned that people might eat unlimited amounts of food made with the fat substitute without worrying about how many calories they are [page]

Marketing, on the other hand, focuses on the wants of It begins with first analyzing the preferences and demands of consumers and then producing goods that will satisfy This eye-on-the-consumer approach is known as the marketing concept, which simply means that instead of trying to sell whatever is easiest to produce or buy for resale, the makers and dealers first endeavor to find out what the consumer wants to buy and then go about making it available for
This concept does not imply that business is benevolent (慈善的) or that consumer satisfaction is given priority over profit in a There are always two sides to every business transaction-the firm and the customer-and each must be satisfied before trade Successful merchants and producers, however, recognize that the surest route to profit is through understanding and catering to A striking example of the importance of catering to the consumer presented itself in mid-1985, when Coca Cola changed the flavor of its The non-acceptance of the new flavor by a significant portion of the public brought about a prompt restoration of the Classic Coke, which was then marketed alongside the King Customer ruled!

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following
Imagine eating everything delicious you want-with none of the That would be great, wouldn’t it?
New “fake fat” products appeared on store shelves in the United States recently, but not everyone is happy about Makers of the products, which contain a compound called olestra, say food manufacturers can now eliminate fat from certain Critics, however, say the new compound can rob the body of essential vitamins and nutrients (营养物) and can also cause unpleasant side effects in some So it’s up to decide whether the new fat-free products taste good enough to keep
Chemists discovered olestra in the late 1960s, when they were searching for a fat that could be digested by infants more Instead of finding the desired fat, the researchers created a fat that can’t be digested at
Normally, special chemicals in the intestines (肠) “grab” molecules of regular fat and break them down so they can be used by the A molecule of regular fat is made up of three molecules of substances called fatty
The fatty acids are absorbed by the intestines and bring with them the essential vitamins A, D, E, and When fat molecules are present in the intestines with any of those vitamins, the vitamins attach to the molecules and are carried into the
Olestra, which is made from six to eight molecules of fatty acids, is too large for the intestines to It just slides through the intestines without being broken Manufacturers say it’s that ability to slide unchanged through the intestines that makes olestra so valuable as a fat It provides consumers with the taste of regular fat without any bad effects on the But critics say olestra can prevent vitamins A, D, E, and K from being It can also prevent the absorption of carotenoids (类胡萝卜素), compounds that may reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease,
Manufacturers are adding vitamins A, D, E, and K as well as carotenoids to their products Even so, some nutritionists are still concerned that people might eat unlimited amounts of food made with the fat substitute without worrying about how many calories they are
We learn from the passage that olestra is a substance that

The result of the search for an easily digestible fat turned out to be
