Reading comprehension.A. Choose the best answer.You need some bread and milk. But half an hour later, you leave the supermarket with a trolley(手推车)full of food. What games do supermarkets play to make us spe nd so much moneyThe tricks usually start before you walk in. Outside the supermarket entran ce, an ybody who walks past can smell warm, fresh bread. That makes us hungry and ready tobuy lots of food, not just bread.Now you ' re in side and, of course, a small basket would be fine, but all they have are trolleys. And of course the problem with a trolley is that it looks sad and Ion ely with just one or two products in side. So we may fill it with someth in g. In fact, supermarket trolleys are actually gett ing bigger so that we buy more.Of course, many people shop in supermarkets becausethey think everything is cheaper than in other shops. So supermarkets offer very cheap prices on some things but then have higher prices for other products. One new trick is to put red stickers on products. Customers usually conn ect red stickers with lower prices so the red stickers is easy to be noticed, even when there is no reduction! Interestingly, this trick appears to work more with men tha n with wome n.There is a story behind the position of everything in the supermarket. For example, customers often go only to buy milk. So they put it right at the back, forc ing you to go past hun dreds of shelves full of other products. The position of products on each shelf is also important. The most expe nsive products are usually at eye-level so you see these immediately. The exception is anything that children might like. These products are on lower shelves so that kids see them.Apart from what you see and smell in a supermarket, what about what you listen to In most supermarkets they have soft, slow music. It so relax ing that you slow dow n and spe nd more time (and mon ey) in the store. You also move more slowly whe n the supermarket is busy. Experts suggest it ' s better to shop whe n it ' s quieter, on a Mon day or a Tuesdayfor 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.55.

The day after it has been known as Black Friday. It is the start of the holiday shopp ing seas on, and it has bee n the busiest shopp ing day of the year in the US since 2005.Most stores offer big sales on Black Friday. They ope n their doors quite early in the morni ng. They try to attract shoppers with big disco unts （打折）.Some items （商品）like TVs and cloths are much cheaper tha n usual. Stores may eve n lose money on these items. They hope that shoppers will buy gifts for other people while they are in the store.Black Friday is a great time to go shopping. However, there are problem. The biggest one is that there are not eno ugh low-priced items. Each store may on ly have a few. These items are in great need, so people stand in long lines to get them. They may wait three to four hours before a store ope ns. They may be hop ing to get a low price on a TV or computer, but not everybody can get one. Some people leave, disappo in ted.The situati on makes people worried. Some Black Friday eve nts have bee n crazy. There have bee n fights over toys among shoppers. Some workers have eve n bee n hurt by large crowds. But most Black Friday events are safe and fun. Still, if you plan to go, you will expect large crowds and a bit of push ing.So where does the name “ BlackFriday ”come from? It was first used in Philadelphia in the 1950s. The police called this day Black Friday becauseof the heavy traffic it caused. In the 1960s, stores tried to ren ame the day “ Big Fridaydid not stick. The name “ BlackFriday ”continued to spread across the country. It seems that it is here to stay.Now people all over the country take part in Black Friday events. It is even spreading to other parts of the world. Stores have held Black Friday events in the UK, Australia, and Brazil since 2012. In Mexico, stores offer a weekend of discounts every year.

Reading comprehension.A.Choose the best answer.You need some bread and milk. But half an hour later, you leave the supermarket with a trolley(手推车) full of food. What games do supermarkets play to make us spend so much moneyThe tricks usually start before you walk in. Outside the supermarket entrance, anybody who walks past can smell warm, fresh bread. That makes us hungry and ready to buy lots of food, not just bread.Now yo u’re inside and, of course, a small basket would be fine, but all they have are trolleys. And of course the problem with a trolley is that it looks sad and lonely with just one or two products inside. So we may fill it with something. In fact, supermarket trolleys are actually getting bigger so that we buy more.Of course, many people shop in supermarkets because they think everything is cheaper than in other shops. So supermarkets offer very cheap prices on some things but then have higher prices for other products. One new trick is to put red stickers on products. Customers usually connect red stickers withlower prices so the red stickers is easy to be noticed, even when there is no reduction! Interestingly, this trick appears to work more with men than with women.There is a story behind the position of everything in the supermarket. For example, customers often go only to buy milk. So they put it right at the back, forcing you to go past hundreds of shelves full of other products. The position of products on each shelf is also important. The most expensive products are usually at eye-level so you see these immediately. The exception is anything that children might like. These products are on lower shelves so that kids see them.Apart from what you see and smell in a supermarket, what about what you listen to In most supermarkets they have soft, slow music. It’s 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 it’s better to shop when it’s 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.55.Smells from bread in the supermarket ______.A. make you feel hungry and buy more foodB. draw your attention to bread onlyC. make you buy less bread than you needD. force you to leave the supermarket56.
