egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. modem businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics (策略). one tactic includes where to display the goods. for example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. they know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food (垃圾食品) later in their trip. in department stores, the womens shoe section is generally next to the womens cosmetics (化妆品) section, while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over and find some cosmetics they might want to try later. besides, businesses seek to attractive customers senses. stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, so they make their own bread each morning and then fan(煽动) the bread smell into the store throughout the day. music sells goods, too. researchers in britain found that when french music was played, sales of french wines went up. when it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding（优惠）tactics. they find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. a california builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. when entering the house, the customer would see the pacific ocean through the windows, and then the pool through an open stairway （阶梯）leading to the lower level. the immediate view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.25. why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section? a. to show they are high quality foods. b. to help sell junk food.c. to sell them at discount(折扣) prices. d. to save customers time.26. according to paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy? a. filling the store with the smell of fresh breadb. opening the store early in the morning. c. displaying british wines next to french ones. d. inviting customers to play music. 27. what is the california builders story meant to prove? a. a good first impression increases sales.b. the house structure is a key factor (因素)customers consider.c. the more costly the house is, the better it sells. d. an ocean view is much to the customers taste. 28. what is the main purpose of the passage? a. to show dishonest business practices.b. to explain how businesses turn people into their customers. c. to introduce how businesses have grown from the past. d. to report researches on customer behavior.cthe old man walked with a cane (拐杖) slowly into the restaurant. his poor jacket, patched (打补丁的) trousers, and worn-out shoes made him stand out from the usual saturday morning breakfast crowd. unforgettable were his pale blue eyes that sparkled like diamonds, large rosy cheeks, and thin lips that held a steady smile.he walked toward a table by the window. a young waitress watched him and ran over to him, saying, “here, sir. let me give you a hand with that chair.”without a word, he smiled and nodded a thank you. she pulled the chair away from the table. supporting him with one arm, she helped him move in front of the chair, and get comfortably seated. then she pushed the table up close to him, and leaned his cane against the table where he could reach it.in a soft, clear voice he said, “thank you, miss.”“youre welcome, sir.” she replied. “my name is mary. ill be back in a moment. if you need anything, just wave at me.”after he had finished a hearty meal of pancakes, bacon, and hot lemon tea, mary brought him the change, helping him up from his chair and out from behind the table. she handed him his cane, and walked with him to the front door. holding the door open for him, she said, “come back and see us, sir!”he nodded a thank you and said softly with a smile, “you are very kind!”when mary went to clean his table, she was shocked. under his plate she found a business card and a note written on the napkin, under which was a $ 100 bill.the note on the napkin read, “dear mary, i respect you very much, and you respect yourself, too. it shows by the way you treat others. you have found the secret of happiness. your kind gestures will shine through those who meet you.”the man she had served was the owner of the restaurant. this was the first time

make your dormitory life colorful.betta fishthey make great pets with their big personality and astonishing colors, ranging from bright red, dark blue to lemon yellow. unlike many fish, most bettas

land hermit crabs are among the most unlucky animals commonly kept as pets. but they are easy to care for, inexpensive and fascinating to watch. and the fact that they dont cause any allergic (过敏的) reactions makes them perfect for college dormitories.red-eared slidersif youre interested in a lifelong friend, a red-eared slider makes a wonderful pet. if well cared for, they can live for around 40 years. but there are a couple of things you should know. red-eared can grow to an adult size of up to 30cm! so you may need a larger tank quickly. in addition, you will need to provide uv lighting,

australia. they also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start in life. the

self-confidence.an old machine such as a broken radio or tv set that you give your child to play with may make him curious and arouse his interest. he will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. 40 . and that is more important.a. however, what most parents fail to see is that the best education they can give their children is usually
