9 . “Mountain Men” is a reality series that focuses on several odd survivalists who live within the numerous mountain ranges of North America. Many of these survivalists, like its regular Eustace Conway, highlight their commitment to living “off-the-grid” and the show often emphasizes their isolation (隔离) from the traditional society.

While the series has come under scrutiny (监督) for potentially staging aspects of this isolated lifestyle, for “Mountain Men” star Morgan Beasley, it’s truly the only way to live. According to his website, Morgan Beasley has devoted his entire life and career to the outdoors and frequently voices his disapproval of busy city life. Beasley’s refusal of the traditional society led him to a remote home in Alaska about 165 miles from the nearest town, where he still lives to this day alongside his partner Megan Stem. Beasley’s adventurous lifestyle deep within the Alaskan Bush was featured in 78 episodes of “Mountain Men” from 2015 to 2019, though his sudden departure prior to Season 9 is certain to have plenty of fans wondering what actually happened to the odd outdoorsman.

Unfortunately, there is still a considerable amount of mystery surrounding Morgan Beasley’s departure from “Mountain Men”, as both he and Megan Stem suddenly vanished from the series after the Season 8 episode “Seize the Day” — without any clarification as to why. Although there have been no reports about why Beasley decided to leave the series, it’s entirely possible that filming “Mountain Men” was taking too much time out of his already busy schedule.

Although there remains no clear answer as to why Beasley ended up leaving “Mountain Men”, it’s abundantly clear that his passion for the outdoors has remained unchanged long after his departure from the series — and he continues to live as a mountain man to this day.

10 . In this age of social media, everyone has followed the review trend. Nearly every business or website persuades customers to leave reviews as they can drive traffic to the site or business. The online business directory Yelp, which gets 178 million monthly visitors, invites anyone with a cellphone to leave a review of a business or restaurant. But by no means are negative reviews always honest. Some people threaten to give a bad review to extort (敲诈) discounted or free food from a restaurant. Some then follow through when their demands are not met.

But there are two sides to every story. One Denver chef decided to respond to bad reviews at his restaurant. As it turned out, some customers who left bad review s deserved bad reviews themselves. One customer’s terrible review claimed that the food at the restaurant was so awful that he didn’t eat a single bite. The chef looked through the monitor and found clear evidence that he had eaten every bite! In response, the chef called out the dissatisfied customer in his own negative review. Since the chef started responding to all his negative reviews, business at his restaurant has nearly doubled.

Telling people what you think of them as the result of a bad review can backfire on you, especially when a bad review is justified. Reviews are important because 94 percent of diners read online review s before they decide where to eat.

But bad reviews appear for many reasons. The reviewer may be having a bad day, or the chef may be sick and the substitute (代替者) couldn’t fill his shoes, so the cuisine suffered. Or perhaps the service wasn’t as good as usual. The worst-case scene is that the reviewer wants to punish the restaurant on purpose for some slight, real or imagined. So one or two bad reviews need to be taken with a grain of salt. Many negative reviews, however, indicate a problem.

So what is a restauranteur to do? First give an honest assessment of any negative reviews. Take a step back and ask if the writer has made any valid points. Are there areas for improvement? If the answer is yes, make adjustments. Reviewers themselves need to be honest and constructive. The goal should be to improve the situation, not just blow off steam.

B．Identical.

C．Reasonable.

D．Legal.

4. Which would be the best title for the passage?

A．Who to Be Responsible for Bad Reviews?	B．When to Respond to Bad Reviews?
