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), 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 with just the things you went for.36. 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 inside37. 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 money38. according to the passage, toys for children are usually placed _. a. on higher shelves b. on each shelf c. on lower shelves d. on the back shelves39. it can be learned from paragraph 5 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 relaxed40. 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 morec配对阅读 左栏是对五个人的描述，右栏是七个网址的介绍。请将这五个人与他们所感兴趣的网站配对，并将答题卡上对应的选项涂黑。41. tony green he is 12 years old and interested in english stories.42. betty king want to be a good bus driver. she enjoys driving a bus.43. lily smith a manager in the great hotel in shanghai.44. sarah she is from london. she wants to have afternoon tea or have a drink with friends.45. mrs. zhang she thinks people should have healthy food and drink. she often asks her children not to get too fat.a. http:/www healthy club. com/ if you want to be healthy, try to eat healthy food and drink. carrots, eggs, potatoes are good for your eyes and milk and fish are good for our teeth. dont drink cola a lot.b. http:/www. chinese festivals com/ chinese should love our own festivals. spring festival is chinese traditional festivals. people can see the lion dance. its excellent.c. http:/www. tea party .net/ come and have afternoon tea in the garden. you can see beautiful flowers and enjoy good sunshine together. have a talk with friendly people.d. http:/www. chenchuan bus company. com/ good service for passengers. convenient(方便的) to get to the places you want. want to be a bus driver, call 2689675.e. http:/www.english / junior students are welcome. you can read lots of interesting stories in english and you can buy story books.f. http:/www.great / a hotel in shanghai. perfect room and business centre. not expensive. very easy to get to the train station.g. / watch and listen to the news with video frequency(视频), just like watching a tv set.四、短文填空（本大题有10小题，每小题1.5分，共15分）阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或者使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。how does technology(科技)change lives?
