Passage5

Have you ever spent more money than you were planning in the supermarket? Don’t blame(责备> yourself. In fact, supermarkets always do something special to mislead(误导> you into buying more. Here are some examples.

10 For $10

It sounds like a great idea to you. However, you’ll save the same money even if you only buy one item(商品>. A recent survey has found when people see 10 for $ 10, five for $ 5 and one for $1, their mind usually feels them into thinking it’s a good idea to buy more.

Bigger Carts(购物车>

Have you found that the supermarket carts are growing? The bigger the cart is, the more things you’ll get, so try to use a hand basket next time.

Pre-Cut(事先切好的> Vegetables and Fruits

Pre-cut vegetables and fruits look attractive with their colorful packing. However, they aren’t exactly good for you. Pre-cut vegetables and fruits can be a lot more expensive than the whole items. Besides, these pre-cut vegetables and fruits go bad faster.

Where Is Everything?

Shelves in the supermarkets don’t stay at the same place all the time. The stores are actually doing it on purpose(故意>, because if you don’t know where the items are, you’ll spend more time in the store. More time to look around means more chances to buy more items.

1.How many examples does the writer give us?

2.What do people usually think when they see 10 for $ 10?

3.Are the supermarket carts growing bigger and bigger?

“What’s the name of the supermarket? I can’t remember right now.” Have you ever heard your grandparents ask questions like this sometimes? Usually, we think that older people’s memory becomes had because their brains get weak. But now a team of scientists at the University of Tubingen in Germany has a new idea. “The human brain works slower in old age,” says Michael Ramscar, the team’s lead scientist, “only because it has stored more information over time.” The findings are based on a series of computer tests related to learning and memory.

Scientists had the computers read a certain amount of words and learn new things each day. When the computer “read” a small amount of data（数据），its performance on cognitive（认知）tests was similar to that of a young adult . But if the computer took in larger amounts of data, its performance was similar to that of an older adult. Often it was slower, but not because its processing ability had dropped. Rather, increased “experience” had caused the computer’s database to grow, giving it more data to process-which takes more time. This is similar to how old people process information.

Imagine that one person knows just two people’s birthdays and can get them right each time he or she is asked. Another person knows the birthdays of 2,000 people , but can only match the right person to the right birthday 9 times out of 10. Can you say the first person has a better memory than the second person?

“The larger the library you have in your head , the longer it usually takes to find a particular word,” Benedict Carey, a science reporter for The New York Times, wrote in an article about the study.

Perhaps you have heard the expression—when in Rome, do as the Romans do. So when you want to do business in France, you have to get to know French culture, to make marketing plans, and to run your business by local laws.

Language plays an important role when you do business in France. The French are proud of their language, so anyone who does not speak it may not be respected by his French workmates or business partners. Also, learning French is important because it is a great way to show your French business partner that you care and respect their country's culture and language.

The first thing you should do when meeting someone new is to shake his hand firmly and always look the person in the eye. In social meetings with friends, kissing is common. Use first names only after being invited to.

Use Monsieur or Madame before the surname. The French will sometimes introduce themselves using their surname first, followed by their first name.

Dress well. The French draw information about people based on what they look like. Your business clothing is a reflection (反映) of your success and social status. Always try to be tasteful and stylish. The French advise women to dress in a simple but elegant way. Wearing make-up is practiced widely by businesswomen.

The French are interested in food, so lunches are common in doing business in France, which usually include a main meal with wine, cheese, dessert and coffee, and normally take up to two hours. This is a time for relationship building Do not begin eating until the host says "bon appetite". Pass dishes to the left, keep wrists above the table and try to eat everything on the plate. Be careful with adding salt, pepper or sauces to your food.

This may suggest that you find the food tasteless. If eating in a restaurant, the person who invites always pays.

I was shopping in the supermarket when I heard a young voice.“Mom，come here！There's this lady here my size！”

The mother rushed to her son；then she turned to me to say sorry to me.

I smiled and told her，“It's OK.”Then I talked to the boy，“Hi，I'm Dory Kramer. How are you？”

He studied me from head to toe，and asked，“Are you a little mommy？”

“Yes，I have a son,” I answered.

“Why are you so little?”he asked.

“It's the way I was born,” I said.“Some people are little. Some are tall. I'm just not going to grow any bigger.”After I answered his other questions，I shook the boy's hand and left.

My life as a little person is filled with stories like that. I enjoy talking to children and explaining why I look different from their parents.

It takes only one glance( 一瞥) to see I’m different. I stand three feet nine inches tall(=1.14 metres).I was born a dwarf．In spite of this，I did all the things other kids did when I was growing up.

I didn't realize how short I was until I started school. Some kids called me names (辱骂).Then I knew. I began to hate the first day of school each year.

But I learned to smile and face the fact that I was going to be noticed my whole life. What I lacked in height，I made up for in personality. When people are rude，I remind myself，“Look what else I have－a great family，nice friends.”
