Shopping is not as simple as you may think! There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand of product on the shelf.

Coloring, for example, varies according to what the producers are trying to sell. Health foods are packaged in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colours. 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 colours turned the customers off because they made the product look weak and ineffective. Eventually, it came on the market in a dark blue and white package—blue because we think of it as safe, and white as calm.

The size of a product can attract a shopper. But quite often a bottle doesn't contain as much as it

appears to.

It is believed that the better-known companies spend, on average, 70 percent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging!

The most successful producers know that it's not enough to have a good product. The founder of

Pears soap, who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to promote (推销) their goods, came to the conclusion: “Any fool can make soap, but it takes a genius to sell it.”

21. Which of the following may trick a shopper into buying a product according to the text?

A. The cost of its package.

C. The colour of its package.

22. Which of the following is the key to the success in product sales?

A. The way to promote goods.

C. The discovery of a genius.

23. Which of the following would be the best title for this text?

A. Choice of Good Products

C. Effect of Packaging on Shopping

B

If you plan on a visit to Fiji, you are probably looking for some fun things to do. Below are four unusual places.

The Poseidon Resort

The Poseidon resort is an underwater resort that gives visitors a beautiful view of sea life. This resort covers 255 acres. It's covered and surrounded by a lagoon(咸水湖) that covers 5,000 acres and is about

D. Brand Names and Shopping Tricks B. Disadvantages of Products

D. The brand name used by successful producers. B. The team to produce a good product. D. The brand name of the product. B. The price of the product.

90 feet under water, giving you a beautiful view of sea life right before your eyes. This resort even has a hotel for those who would prefer to have the unusual experience of sleeping and waking up to the beautiful scenery all around them.

The Sabeto Mud Pool

If you're looking for something unusual, you can't pass up the mud pool at Sabeto. It is located in a mountain range with a huge group of Geothermal(地热的) pools full of nice, warm mud. Getting down and

into the mud in the pool is believed to have benefits for healthy skin. This is unusual, but adults and especially kids will love it.

Fire Walking

Fire walking in Fiji is believed to have originated on the island of Beau. Fire walking is when you walk on white-hot stones barefoot. To do this, you have to be mentally prepared for it. Trust me; there is a lot of preparation and strict rules that travelers follow in order to do this safely.

The Fiji Museum

The Fiji museum is unusual due to all the amazing artifacts you'll see dating back 3,000-4,000 years. This museum has a certain attraction that makes it funny--a shoe. It's been said that a man named Thomas Baker was eaten by the locals several centuries ago and the only thing left was his shoe. This unusual museum is a great idea if you bring the whole family to Fiji. 24. Visitors who have the unusual experience of sleeping at the Poseidon resort can ______________.

A. enjoy the excellent service in the hotel B. open windows to see sea life swimming

C. see sea life around them in the room D. only watch videos about sea life

25. Why do adults like to get down into the mud pool?

A. To float on the warm mud

B. To make them strong

C. To play with the warm mud

D. To keep their skin healthy

26. Which of the following things needs more courage and stricter rules?

A. Trying fire walking

C. Getting into the Sabeto Mud Pool

27. The underlined word “artifacts” in Paragraph 5 means ______________.

A. historic things made by man

Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, you are communicating quite fluently, but listening is STILL a problem! First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening comprehension is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. The most important thing is to listen as often as possible. The first step is to find listening resources. The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from RealMedia. The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.

Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated (受阻) by limited

understanding. What should you do?

Here is some of the advice I give my students:

●Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.

●Stay relaxed when you do not understand, and try listening to the material for more times.

D. useful things in people's daily life B. things invented not long ago D. Visiting the Fiji museum B. Visiting the Poseidon resort
