What is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop? The products displayed (展示) at the entrance? Or the soft background music?

But have you ever notice the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is likely to be no. But while a shop’s scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds, it is certainly there. And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase.

A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance, via scent machines. A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air. One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores, customers’ intention to purchase increased by 80 percent.

When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs, scent is just as important to a brand’s success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sales. That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be.

Some years ago, the focus for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants’ disproving attitude and don’t-touch-what-you-can’t-afford displays. Now the rise of electronic commerce (e-commerce电子商务) has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while e-shops can use sights and sounds, only bricks-and-mortar stores (实体店) can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a destination. And scent is just one way to achieve this.

Now a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department, and coconut (椰子) scent in the swimsuit section. A department store has even opened a new lab, inviting customers on a journey into the store’s windows to smell books, pots and drawers, in search of their perfect scent.

1. E-shops are mentioned in the passage to _______ .

A. introduce the rise of e-commerce

B. urge shop assistants to change their attitude

C. push stores to use sights and sounds

D. show the advantages of brick-and-mortar stores

2. The underlined word “destination” in Paragraph 5 means _______ .

A. a platform that exhibits goods

B. a spot where travelers like to stay

C. a place where customers love to go

D. a target that a store expects to meet

3.The main purpose of the passage is to ______ .

A. compare and evaluate　　　　　　　 B. inform and explain

C. examine and assess　　　　　　　　 D. argue and discuss

4. According to the passage, what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand store?

A. Unique scents.　　　　　　　 B. Friendly assistant.

C. Soft background music　　 D. attractive window display.

A photographer takes a picture of the Chinese bronze rat head and rabbit head sculptures display on the preview of the auction（拍卖） of Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Berge’s art collection at the Grand Palais in Paris, France, Feb, 21, 2009. Chinese lawyers have asked the French court to stop auction house Christie’s putting two bronze relics（文物）looted (掠夺)from China

under the hammer, lawyers said Friday.

A Paris court on Monday ruled against stopping the sale of two

looted Chinese bronze sculptures which come up for auction at

Christie’s on Wednesday. Under the ruling of the Tribunal de Grande

Instance in Paris, the plaintiff（起诉人）, the Association for the

Protection of Chinese Art in Europe（APCAE）,was ordered to

pay compensation（赔偿）to the defendant.

Ren Xiaohong, a lawyer for APCAE, told Xinhua that it was “of great significance” to file the lawsuit. “We hope to arouse public attention in Europe on the fate of numerous Chinese works stolen in the past, to help keep those relics well protected and collected,” Ren said.

The Qing Dynasty（1644—1911）relics, the heads of a bronze rabbit and a rat, were among an original set of 12 bronze animal heads that were once decorated at the imperial summer resort Yuanmingyuan. They were looted when the palace was burnt down by Anglo-French allied forces during the Second Opium War in 1860.

The pair became part of a collection of the late fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent. They have been put up for auction by his partner, Pierre Berge. The two items are expected to fetch between 16 million and 20 million euros.

So far, five of the 12 bronze animal heads have been returned to China, while the whereabouts of five others are unknown.

1.The two bronze animal heads were displayed at the Grand Palais in Paris so that________.

A．they could be collected and well preserved

B．the photographers could take pictures

C．the public could see them in advance

D．they couldn’t be sold at auction

2.The significance to stop the sale of two bronze animal heads is to________.

A．fetch between 16 million and 20 million euros

B．draw public attention to the Chinese works stolen in the past

C．make the world know more about history of the Qing Dynasty

D．find the other five bronze animal heads and return them to China

3.Which of the following is NOT true?

A．The 12 bronze animal heads have been put up for auction.

B．The 2 bronze animal heads haven’t been returned to China.

C．The 12 bronze animal heads were used as imperial decoration.

D．Yuanmingyuan was once burnt down by Anglo-French allied forces.

4.The passage is most probably taken from________.

A．a newspaper                     B．an advertisement

C．a history textbook        D．an introduction of auction
