22、The best thing to start your day is a good breakfast. In fact, many people believe that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. In China, porridge with pickles (咸菜), baozi, noodles, soybean milk and youtiao are common breakfast foods. What are breakfasts in other countries like? Let’s take a look!
US
In the US, a good Sunday morning starts with scrambled eggs, crispy bacon or juicy sausages, and soft pancakes with butter and sweet syrup on top. On busy weekdays, most people in the US like to eat cereal with milk, bread and fruit for breakfast. Some people also drink coffee.
Canada
Canada is the largest producer of maple syrup. People usually have pancakes with maple syrup for breakfast. Canadian bacon is a popular dish for breakfast as well. Canadian bacon is quite unlike the crispy bacon of the United States. It tastes more like ham and is served in thin round slices.
Britain
The British breakfast is similar to the American breakfast. A basic British breakfast consists of fried eggs, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, baked (烘) beans, and tomatoes. These foods are popular among young people in Britain. Usually, British people have coffee, tea or milk to drink. Some people also like to drink orange juice.
Japan
Most people in Japan these days – at least in big cities – eat a quick Western-style breakfast like eggs, toast, juice and coffee. Those who prefer more traditional foods are likely to have tea and miso soup with rice. Steamed rice is necessary for a Japanese-style breakfast. People also add nori seaweed or a little raw egg to their rice.

23、 It was the end of a long, tiring week of work and I was desperately in need of some positive feedback. More specifically, I was in search of those sweet dialogues: The compliment. As none seemed to be upcoming, I decided that I would create an accidental one. Then I ordered a pizza to be delivered instead of laboring in the kitchen after such a long week.
After dinner was delivered and consumed, I gathered my family in the living room to watch an old film version of “A Christmas Carol”, hoping that they would complain about the plain food I ordered. We got to the part in the movie where Bob Cratchitt describes what Christmas dinner will be like to his wife and family.
“It will be a PERFECT dinner.” Then, turning to his son, he says, “Won’t it, Tim?”
Tiny Tim agrees enthusiastically. “Oh, yes, Father. It will be the best one in all of Londontown!”
I just had to speak up at this point. There was no sense in waiting for a compliment. I was getting impatient, so I used the direct approach.
“Well, at least Mrs. Cratchitt’s meals get noticed.”
Jeffrey, lying on the sofa, turned his head around. “OK. Mom, that PIZZA you PHONED in tonight was GREAT!!”
“It was the finest pizza in all of Londontown, my dear!” Walter cut in.
OK, the point was well taken: I did phone for the delivery of the pizza. But does that deny the dinners I cooked after working a full day in the previous weeks and months? Finally I realized that sometimes it just doesn’t pay to fish for compliments; sometimes you hook yourself with your own bait (诱饵).

B．The family were hooked on the film.
C．Her kids disliked takeaway food.
D．The food she cooked wasn’t appreciated.

24、 Pricing is more than number; it’s series of integrated (综合的) strategies. For most businesses, managers put a great deal of effort into making and marketing their products, but where many fall short is in transforming the value they create into profits.
All too often critical pricing decisions prove ill-considered. Many companies base pricing primarily on their costs, leaving money on the table in the form of hidden profits. In reality they could make more if they focused instead on the value they deliver to customers. Baseball fans are willing to pay over $100 for a ticket stub (票根) for the baseball game in which Cal Ripkin broke Lou Gehrigs’ record of playing 2,160 games in succession. For them, these tickets have a collector’s value which far exceeds the admission cost charged that day to enter the ballpark.
A product’s cost simply represents the floor or minimum price that should be charged. Everything charged above that floor is obtained from the perceived value in the mind of the purchaser. Think about how diverse people are. It would be surprising to find two people who value the same product identically. Value is highly subjective and intensely personal. Thus a clearly inter-linking, data-backed value analysis is the key to developing a worthwhile pricing structure.
Adjusting your price with value and adopting multi-price mindset are the fundamentals of pricing for profits and growth. The traditional search for the perfect price has to be replaced with a multi-price mindset. One price simply is not the best. What is required is a series of strategies to benefit from each customer’s unique valuation of a product. For example, managers in Carribean attractions know vacationers from snow-covered Boston will value their hotel rooms more highly in January than those from sunny Florida. Therefore, they advertise their rooms for $350 a day in Boston newspapers if you ring up and use the promotional code “Boston”. But if you were to use the code “Florida” instead, you might get the same rooms for $250 a day—the price quoted Florida advertisements.
【1】What needs improving for most businesses according to the author?
A．Making products.
B．Expanding market.
C．Digging pricing.
D．Decreasing costs
【2】What can we know about hidden profits?
A．They root in personal preferences.
B．They vary with the market.
C．They are often over-explored.
D．They are closely cost-related.
【3】What can we infer form the last paragraph?
A．The more prices offered, the more profits to be made.
B．Businesses should outweigh pricing over anything else.
C．Customers prefer to buy the same products at different prices.
D．Proper pricing offers a shortcut to generating big new profits.
【4】What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A．To uncover challenges in business.
B．To blame casual pricing decisions.
C．To decode the art of pricing.
D．To promote multi-price mindset.
