三、完形填空（共30分）

17.阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 

However objective we believe ourselves to be, most of us do not judge a product only on the basis of its advantages; we don't only         1        its quality, value or style before making a decision.         2         ，  we are easily influenced by the people around us.

There is nothing         3        with this. It is probably a smarter way to make decisions than relying on only our own         4       . But it does make life hard for companies. They have long understood that groups of friends and relatives         5        to buy the same products, but understanding the         6        has been tricky. Is it because they are so similar with regard to how much money they         7        and what television ads they watch that they independently arrive at the same decision? Or do they         8        one another, perhaps out of envy or perhaps because they have         9        information about the products?

Research in Finland recently found good         10        that neighbours have a big influence on buying         11       . When one of a person's ten nearest neighbours bought a car, the chances that that person would buy a car of the         12        brand during the next week and a half rose by 86 percent. The researchers argued that it was not just a matter of envy.         13        cars seemed to attract neighbours even more.
