But half an hour later, you leave the supermarket with a trolley(手推车) full of food. What games do supermarkets play to make us spend so much money?The tricks usually start before you walk in. Outside the supermarket entrance, anybody who walks past can smell warm, fresh bread. That makes us hungry and ready to buy lots of food, not just bread.Now youre inside and, of course, a small basket would be fine, but all they have are trolleys. And of course the problem with a trolley is that it looks sad and lonely with just one or two products inside. So we may fill it with something else. In fact, supermarket trolleys are actually getting bigger so that we buy more.Of course, many people shop in supermarkets because they think everything is cheaper than in other shops. So supermarkets offer very cheap prices on some things but then have higher prices for other products. One new trick is to put red stickers on products. Customers usually connect red stickers with lower prices so the red sticker is easy to be noticed, even when there is no reduction! Interestingly, this trick appears to work more with men than with women.There is a story behind the position of everything in the supermarket. For example, customers often go only to buy milk. So they put it right at the back, forcing you to go past hundreds of shelves full of other products. The position of products on each shelf is also important. The most expensive products are usually at eye-level so you can see them immediately. The exception is anything that children might like. These products are on lower shelves so that kids can see them.Apart from what you see and smell in a supermarket, what about what you listen to? In most supermarkets they have soft, slow music. Its so relaxing that you slow down and spend more time (and money) in the store. You also move more slowly when the supermarket is busy. Experts suggest its better to shop when its quieter, on a Monday or a Tuesday for example. And be careful with queues at the checkouts. These are sometimes deliberate(故意的), to make you buy something from the checkout shelves while you wait.So, next time you go into your local supermarket, remember these tricks and see if you can come out with just the thingsyou go for.()56. Supermarkets dont provide baskets because _. A. supermarkets dont usually have many B. baskets are too small to hold many products C. its easy to go shopping with trolleys D. a trolley can hold one or two products inside()57. According to the passage, supermarkets put red stickers on products to _. A. make them look more beautiful B. make them different from cheaper ones C. make people think the stickers are for men D. make people think they could save money()58. According to the passage, toys for children are usually placed _. A. on higher shelvesB. on each shelf C. on lower shelvesD. on the back shelves()59. It can be learnt from Paragraph 6 that supermarkets usually _.A. stop people lining up at the checkouts B. close on Monday morning C. play loud and noisy music inside D. make customers feel relaxed()60. The passage is mainly about _. A. several ways supermarkets use to sell more products B. some advice when people go shopping on the street C. several rules that every business should follow D. some advertisements that make people buy more(C)Let children learn to judge(判断) their own work. A child doesnt learn to talk by being corrected all the time. If he is corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the differences between the language he uses and the language others use. Little by little, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other peoples.In the same way, children learn to do all the other things without being taughtto walk, run, climb or ride a bicycle. They compare their performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them himself. We do it all for him. We thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher. Let him work out with the help of other children if he wants it.If it is a matter in math or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such daily work? Our job should be to help the children when they tell us that he cant find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must learn, how to measure(估量) their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.Let them get on with this job in their ways. School teachers can offer help if they ask for it. Some parents and teachers are worried that the children might fail to learn something that they will need to get in the world. Dont worry! If it is important, they will go out into the world and learn it.()61. According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is by _.

We can infer(推断) that _ from the passage. A. students can face any challenge easily B. students can learn a lot in the real life C. students can grow up without others help()65. The best title of the passage may be “_”. A. Let Us Teachers Stop WorkingB. Let Children Learn by Themselves C.
