新视界大学英语综合教程第五单元课文翻译及练习答案Active Reading心计商家你有没有想过,为什么世界各地的商场看上去都差不多?这是因为他们已经进行了大量研究来分析购物者的行为。
商店入口处通常有一个转换地带,也就是进门五米处,购物者在这里逐渐意识到:他们已经不在街上,而是要开始购物了。
过了转换地带,你一般会向右走,所以很多特价商品都摆在这里。
在一层,你会发现很多美容产品、手表和珠宝,因为这些奢侈品设计精美、包装华丽、摆放美观,能够吸引顾客来到店里。
它们通常比服装昂贵,所以购物者冲动购买的可能性较小。
如果把它们摆放在服装区的楼上,那么很多顾客根本不会费力上去光顾。
二层一般卖女士服装,也许其他楼层也有卖的。
“顾客是上帝”应该改为“顾客是女王”,因为女性消费者是时尚市场的核心所在。
因此,所有的最佳楼层都是为她们预留的。
男士服装在女士服装的上面,因为研究表明,男士是目标明确的购买者。
他们一般将购物视为无聊但不得不做的事,在去之前就已经有了目标。
女士所享受的逛街购物的愉悦,对男士来说没有任何吸引力。
运动装要么在男士服装的上层,要么在地下室。
它们的目标市场是一个特殊群体。
尽管这些购物者在数量及关注点上有局限性,但他们是忠实的顾客,要么认准某种服装款式,要么认准某个品牌。
所以,将运动装放在商店里最不起眼的地方对它们的销售不会产生太大影响。
地下室也是卖日用百货的地方,尤其是厨房用品。
同样,大部分人知道自己在这家百货商店要买什么,并不需要用心理战术吸引他们到店里来。
大部分商场的主要通道都被设计成环形,联结着不同的商铺。
各种品牌的商品沿着这个环形而摆放,大部分顾客顺时针或逆时针而行。
这样摆放商品的目的是让顾客看到所有的商品。
商品之间也讲究配搭,比如西服和领带放在一起,电子产品和电池在一块儿,这些商品通常放在一起售卖,这样会有利于两种商品的销售。
有的商场每年更换一次或者两次商铺的位置,从而使商场看起来焕然一新,而顾客按原来的陈设找东西的过程中,就会买下新的商品。

OK, you do the ordering.Q: What kind of Chinese food does the woman like?The woman likes sweet-and-sour fish, fried noodles and the mushroom soup in the restaurant. III. Listening InTask 1: Fast Food CultureSince the late 1900s, Americans have begun to fully believe in their “fast food culture”. In 1994 alone, fast food restaurants in the United States sold over 5 billion hamburgers, making it a favorite meal and an important commodity. Each day in 1996, seven percent of the population ate at the 11,400 McDonald’s; males from their mid-teens to their early 30s made up 75 percent of this business. By then, fast food had become a cultural phenomenon that reached beyond America’s borders. In 1996 McDonald’s owned over 7,000 restaurants in other countries, including: 1,482 in Japan; 430 in France; 63 in China; and so on. McDonald’s has also recognized some cultural differences. In Germany, for example, the outlets sell beer, in France they sell wineand beer, and in Saudi Arabia they have separate sections for men and women and close four times a day for prayers. But for the most part the fast food fare is the same, maintaining the same culture on an international level.1.D2.C3.A4.B5.CTask 2: McDonald’sW: John, I’m really hungry!M: Just get anything you want, it’s on me today. I’m thinking about a hamburger and some chicken McNuggets.W: Thanks, man. That sounds good. I love milkshakes here.M: Me, too. The formula of McDonald’s is really special.W: Right. And no matter where you go in the world, you can always see similar menu items and the same high level of quality in McDonald’s.M: It’s true. They also do well because of diversity. I mean, they sell different products according to people’s tastes and preferences in different areas.W: Right. Like the Spicy Chicken Sandwich and Seafood Soup that they sell in China. They could never sell that here!M: But I’ve heard that McDonald’s is really losing market share in the States now, and has closed down some restaurants.W: Yeah. It’s just so difficult to stay competitive when there so many fast food chains in the States.I mean there are KFC, Pizza Hut, and A&W, just to name a few.M: It seems that they’re doing better overseas,’ cause they’re really able to sell American culture. W: Yeah. They use all the media they can, and they do a good job.1.They will probably eat a hamburger, some chicken McNuggets, and the shakes.2.McDonald’s is so successful because of its formula and diversity.3.You can always see similar menu items and the same high level of quality.4.McDonald’s is losing market share in the States now and has closed down some restaurants.Because there’re so many fast food chains in the U.S. that it’s difficult for McDonald’s to stay competitive.5.Because they’re able to sell American culture by using all the media they can.Task 3: American Eating HabitsEating habits in America really get a lot of criticism. But the truth is, it matters much where in America you look. In big cities, people are becoming more health-conscious every day. This is shown by what foods they choose to buy in supermarkets, and what restaurants they eat in. There is now a big push for “green” foods that are grown naturally. In cities like New York and Chicago, restaurants offer new and healthy styles to stay ahead of the competition. However, these habits contrast with those in America’s heartland. Here, people tend to eat more traditional and higher fat foods, such as breakfasts of eggs, bacon, sausages, toast and other greasy, but delicious foods. Fast food chain restaurants such as McDonald’s and the Olive Garden, which serve cheaper food, draw a lot of customers and are popular in most places.There are different eating habits across America. In big cities, people have now become more health-conscious than ever. There is a big push for “green” foods that are grown naturally. In NewYork and other big cities, restaurants offer new and healthy styles to stay ahead of the competition. However, people in America’s heartland are quite different. They often eat more traditional and higher fat foods. Fast food chain restaurants draw a lot of customers and are popular in most places.Task 4: An AnnouncementHave you ever dreamed of tasting your favorite McDonald’s foods for only one dollar, and then, adding something to your Extra Value Meal? Now your dream can come true with McDonald’s Dollar Menu. Great choices. Every day here at McDonald’s. Look for these and more: Salad, Double Cheeseburger, Fries, McChicken Sandwiches, Snack Fruits, Soft Drinks, and Pies. Have a great meal!IV. Speaking OutNow Your TurnJames: Hey, Lisa! The physics exam is over at last! What’re you planning to do this weekend? Lisa: Oh, nothing special. You got any good ideas?James: We haven’t had a party for ages. How about having a pot-luck supper Saturday evening?Each of us can contribute something. We’ll have a good time.Lisa: Good idea! And who do you think we should invite?James: The whole class, of course. The more the merrier.Lisa: Terrific!Model 2 What do you recommend?Now Your TurnWaitress:Here’s the menu.Jennifer:Thanks. Chris, let’s have fried noodles for a change, shall we?Christopher:That sounds good, but it’s not satisfying with only noodles.Jennifer:Waitress, what do you recommend?Waitress:How about seafood with fried noodles and vegetables?Christopher: Good. I like seafood.Jennifer:Same here.Model 3 It’s easier said than done!Now Your TurnSarah: Hi, Jim! You look pale. What’s wrong?James: Well, yesterday I had a huge steak for supper. At night I had a terrible stomachache. Sarah: You shouldn’t have eaten that much. How’re you feeling now?James: Better than I was. But I guess I won’t be able to look a cow in the eye for a while. Sarah: Take my advice! If you eat regular meals, you won’t feel so bad.James: It’s easier said than done. Steak is my favorite.V. Let’s TalkJane: I’m from the Students Union. We’re doing a survey of students’ eating habits. Would you mind if I asked you a few questions?Jim: Will it take long?Jane: No, not really. Fie minutes maybe? There aren’t all that many questions.Jim: And what’s it for exactly?Jane: Well, we want to get an idea of the sort of things students eat on a regular basis, and to find out how aware people are about diet and nutrition and those matters. The intention is to produce an information leaflet about healthy eating.Jim: Yeah, I suppose something like that would be quite useful. Anyway, what do you want to know, exactly?Jane: OK, first question. What would you say your favorite food is?Jim: That’s easy. Hamburgers and fries. Lots of fries1 I must say I like a nice Chinese meal as well.Jane: Mmm. You’re getting into some bad habits there. How many meals do you have a day? I mean sit-down meals, not snacks.Jim: Well, I nearly always oversleep. I usually skip breakfast altogether. And I’d probably just have a chocolate bar for lunch. So I don’t sit down to a meal till evening.Jane: OK. Typical student, I suppose. And how about fresh fruit? Is it important in your diet? Jim: Nah, not really. I know it’s bad, but…I’m just not in the habit really. I suppose I might eat an apple once in a while.1. Hamburgers fries2. Chinese3. cabbage4. skipped5. chocolate6. sit-down7. fruitFor ReferenceAA, suggest vegetables and fruit to your partner.You’re gaining weight soon. I think you should take more green vegetables and fruit.B, say you love meat the best.Don’t mention egetables or fruit. Meat is my favorite. I love it, so does my stomach.A, give your warning of eating fat.Listen, you’ll suffer from eating too much fat.B, say you know the importance of a balanced diet but just cannot change your eating habit. Man, I know a balanced diet is important. But I just can’t change my eating habit.A, stress the importance of a good diet again.Well, I don’t think you’ve ever tried to change it. You know, good diet means good health.B, show your impatience.I knooooow, nutritionistBA, ask the American friend about the Chinese food.Hi, Tony, how would you like these Chinese food, tofu and steamed fish?B, you find the food tastes strange.Well, it tastes…sort of strange. We don’t have stuffs cooked like this.A, ask what the Americans eat.So what do you usually have in America?B, tell what the Americans typically eat and invite A to McDonald’s next time.Er, a typical lunch may consist of a burger or sandwish, a vegetable or fruit salad, a dessert, and a coke or coffee. Nect time I would invite you to a fast food meal at McDonald’s and tell you more about American food.A, say what you fell about B’s words.Oh, that’s really different from ours.VI. Furthering Listening and SpeakingTask 1: Foods in the WorldFood is national and international. Many people like their own national dishes and a variety of foreign ones. You can find European and Oriental restaurants on most large cities. You can find Italian, French, Chinese, and Mexican restaurants in New York, Washington, San Francisco, and many other cities in the United States. As well, you might also find Greek and Middle Eastern restaurants in some cities in the US. American hamburgers and hot dogs are popular in Tokyo and Paris. In almost every country you will find rice, potatoes, eggs, bread, soup, meat, vegetables, milk, fruit, and other basic foods. People all over cook them differently in different countries. People all over the world also prefer different things to drink. The English drink a lot of tea, and the French a lot of wine. Americans prefer coffee, milk or pop. German beer is now completely international. Children are often very conservative about new foods. In the United States they often prefer to eat the same three or four favorite dishes: hamburgers and French fires, hot dogs, fried chicken, and ice cream.1. national international2. national dishes foreign ones.3. hamburgers hotdogs Paris4. tea coffee milk pop5. children three or four hamburgers fried chickenTask 2: GM FoodsThe term GM foods refers to those produced with the latest genetic engineering techniques. In 2000, countries that grew 99% of the global GM crops were the United States, Argentina, Canada, and China. The next decade will see rapid development in Gm products. Gm foods may solve many of the world’s hunger problems, and help protect environment. Yet there are many challenges ahead for governments, especially in the areas of human and environmental safety,labeling and consumer choice, ethics, food security, regulation and international policy. Many people feel that genetic engineering is inevitable and that such a technology should be put to use. However, others warn that we must take care to avoid causing unintentional harm to both human health and the environment as a result of our enthusiasm for this powerful technology.1. F2.F3.T4.F5.FTask 3: HungerI have known bread hunger,Yet have I strength.I have known heart hunger,Yet do I live.I have known soul hunger,And faith is not dead.When the body cried,I lit love in my heart.When the heart wept,I lit a lamp in my soul.Yet all the while,I heard life asking its goal.I was alone looking out of a house,Knowing the empty rooms.。
