39、s are trying to sell. Health foods are packaged(包装) in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colors. Ice cream packets are often blue and expensive goods, like chocolates, are gold or silver. When some kind of pain killer was brought out recently, researchers found that the

40、colors turned the customers off because they made the product look weak and ineffective.

46、s on the job, I began noticing that the other fellows were overcharging passengers.

47、u. If they want to do that, you let them do that.”I followed my dads advice for the rest of that summer and have lived by his words ever since.
