In ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead,with more tactics(策略).
One tactic involves where to display the goods. For example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food(垃圾食品) later in their trip. In department stores, section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics(化妆品) section：while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over cosmetics they might want to try later.
Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers’ senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wine went up.
When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decisions in the first few second upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the poll through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.
24. Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?
A. To save customers time.
B. To show they are high quality foods.
C. To help sell junk food.
D. To sell them at discount prices.
25. According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy?
A. Opening the store early in the morning.
B. Displaying British wines next to French ones.
C. Inviting customers to play music.
D. Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.
26. What is the California builder’s story intended to prove?
A. The house structure is a key factor customers consider.
B. The more costly the house is, the better it sells.
C. An ocean view is much to the customers’ taste.
D. A good first impression increases sales.
27. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.
B. To introduces how businesses have grown from the past.
C. To report researches on customer behavior.
D. To show dishonest business practices.

Daniel Anderson, a famous psychologist, believes it’s important to distinguish television’s influences on children from those of the family. We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it doesn’t really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping children’s minds.
One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child’s ability to think and to understand the world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words and images(影像). Instead, they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see. Actually, children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows. Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand far more when parents watch TV with them, explaining new words and ideas. Yet, most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set and do something in another room.
Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment. But according to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability. TV doesn’t take the place of reading for most children; it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation, such as listening to the radio and playing sports. Things like parents’ educational background have a stronger influence on a child’s reading. “A child’s reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads.” Anderson says.
Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ(智商) scores and affects school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In fact, research suggests that it’s the other way around. “If you’re smart young, you’ll watch less TV when you’re older,” Anderson says. Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.
For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children. However, by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed, Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other influences.
28. By watching TV, children learn _________.
A. images through words
B. more than explicit meanings
C. more about images than words
D. little about people’s psychology
29. An educational program is best watched by a child _________.
A. on his own
B. with other kids
C. with his parents
D. with his teachers
30. Anderson believed that _________.
A. the more a child watches TV, the smarter he is
B. the younger a child is, the more he watches TV
C. the smarter a child is, the less likely he gets addicted to TV
D. the less a child watches TV, the better he performs at school
31. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To advise on the educational use of TV.
B. To describe TV’s harmful effects on children.
C. To explain traditional views on TV influences.
D. To present Anderson’s unconventional ideas.
D
This past weekend,students from around the world faced off in a competition to test mock Mars rovers(模拟火星车) designed to explore the surface of the Red Planet.
“Scorpio Team” from Wroclaw University of Technology in Poland scored first place; “Impuls Team” from Kielce Universiry of Technology, also in Poland, placed second; and the “Lunar and Mars Rover Team” from Cairo University in Egypt rounded out third place.”Robocol Team” from the University of the Andes in Colombia won a special bonus award. Bonus points were awarded for completing additional tasks to the main challenges.

The second task involved navigating(操控) to three specified locations,without using a camera. For the third task, teams had to repair a mock reactor(反应器) system. The fourth task involved finding a spare part from storage. Lastly, the teams presented their rovers to a group of judges.
The organizers set a maximum budget of $15,000 for each rover, which the teams had to raised themselves. The rover challenge coincided with a conference on “Humans in Space”, held the same weekend in Poland.

How to beat insomnia(失眠) and sleep easy
Poor sleep – as anyone who suffers from it knows – can make life a misery. And it is taking its toll on the nation's health. According to the recently published Great British Sleep Survey, more than 51% of us now struggle to get a good night's sleep, with women three times more likely to be affected than men.
Evidence shows that 93% of insomniacs report low energy levels and 83% complain of mood swings. Some 77% find it hard to concentrate, 64% say they are less productive at work, and 55% report relationship difficulties. 71
So how can we do something about poor sleep without pills? Most sleep experts think that the following do make a difference.
1. 72 It is very, very powerful, and we need to get it working for us: a person not sleeping well has first and foremost to allow sleep to do its work. Sleep is a process of letting go.
2. Most sleep problems are psychological obstacles that we put in sleep's way. Like all things we should do automatically, when we deliberately try to do them we screw up. 73 Recognize there's a right and a wrong kind of effort. Your role model is the “careless sleeper"
3. Go to sleep only when you feel sleepy and, if anything, shorten the time you try to sleep. A lot of people put good sleep beyond the achievable simply because they are so worried about not sleeping. Their sleep becomes worse. 74 That is because you do it with an intention to force yourself into sleep.
4. 75 A racing mind – what happened today, what's on tomorrow, what will the future hold? – is a huge obstacle to sleep. So take time before you go to bed: go through the day, think about tomorrow, put things in their boxes, make a list. Set your mind at rest.
5. Learn to value relaxation, and if necessary learn specific relaxation techniques. Above all, "Don't try too hard." But, of course, for some that is easier said than done.
A. Put the day to bed long before putting yourself to bed.
B. Recognize that sleep is not a lifestyle choice, it is a biological process.
C. Sleep experts are trying to work out ways to deal with the problem.
D. If you try to read a book in bed, it's never very successful.
E. Keep you mind busy before you go to sleep.
F. Even worse, long-term poor sleep can increase the risk health of problems.
G. Adopt a relaxed, confident approach to sleep, not a nervous, panic-stricken one.
