When you enter the supermarket, you see shelves full of goods. You walk between the shelves. You carry a shopping basket and put your food in it. You probably hear soft music as you walk. If you hear fast music, you walk quickly. The supermarket plays slow music. You walk slowly and have more time to buy things. Maybe you go to the meat department first. There is some meat on sale, and you want to find it. The manager of the supermarket knows where customers enter the meat department. The cheaper meat is at the end of the meat department, away from where the customers enter. You have to walk by all the expensive meat before you find the cheaper meat. Maybe you will buy some of the expensive meat instead of he meat on sale. The diary (乳制品) department sells milk and milk products such as butter and cheese. Many customers like milk that has only a little butterfat in it. One store has three different jars of low fat milk. One says “1 percent (1%)” fat on the container. The second says “99 percent (99%) fat free”. The third says “Low Fat” in big letters and “1%” in small letters. As you can see, all the milk has the same amount of fat. The milk is all the same. The amount of milk in each container is also the same. However in this store the three containers of milk dont cost the same. Maybe the customer will buy the milk that costs the most. Most of the food in supermarkets is very pleasing. It all says “Buy me!” to the customers. The expensive meat says “Buy me! As you walk by. The expensive milk jar says Buy me! I have less fat.”36.

In American business meetings, people are expected to participate verbally (口头上). Or else others may think that they are uninterested in the meeting. Active participation involves the following: 1. Start a discussion, bringing up new ideas and topics, and making suggestions. 2. Asking people for opinions, information, and explanations. 3. Repeating ideas and explanations for those who cant understand you. 4. Encouraging people to speak by accepting different points of view. If an employee appears to be passive at a meeting, Americans may feel that the person is not contributing to the meeting. “Brainstorming” is a common practice at American meetings. The purpose of brainstorming is to express as many ideas as possible on a given question or problem.

First people brainstorm freely; then they narrow down and get rid of ideas or suggestions that re not workable. Brainstorming is a creative process that demands full verbal participation. This method of creating, exploring, and solving problems is foreign to many people who are not culturally comfortable with “blurting out” ideas.(不加考虑地说出)41.

Education today is not just a high school diploma (文凭) or a college degree. Many adults are not interested in going to college. They are interested in other kinds of learning. For them, learning does not end with a diploma. Continuing education gives these adults the opportunity to increase their knowledge about their own field or to learn about a new field. It also gives them a chance to improve their old skills or to learn new ones. Scientists, mechanics ( 技师) and barbers (理发师) can take classes to improve their work skills. If the know more or learn more, they can get a better job or earn more money. Continuing education classes give more adults the chance to learn new skills. There is usually a large variety of classes to choose from: typing, foreign cooking, photography, auto repair, furniture repair, or swimming. There are only some of the classes available. Some adults take classes for fun or because the class will be useful for them. Other adults take continuing education classes to improve their own lives because they want to feel better about themselves. Almost any community college or public school system has a continuing education program. There are classes in schools, community building or churches. Most classes are in the evenings, so working people can attend. The classes are usually small, and they are inexpensive.46. The best title for the passage would be _.A.
