26、   The secret of the aroma

What is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop? The products displayed（展示）at the entrance? Or the soft background music?

But have you ever noticed the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is likely to be no. But while a shop’s scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds, it is certainly there. And it is provided as an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase.

A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance, via scent machines. A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air. One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores, customers’ intention to purchase increased by 80 percent.

When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs, scent is just as important to a brand’s success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sales. That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be.

Some years ago, the focus for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants’ disproving attitude and don’t-touch-what-you-can’t-afford displays. Now the rise of electronic commerce (e-commerce) has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while e-shops can use sights and sounds, only bricks-and-mortar stores (实体店) can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a destination. And scent is just one way to achieve this.

Now a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department, and coconut scent in the swimsuit section. A department store has even opened a new lab, inviting customers on a journey into the store’s windows to smell books, pots and drawers, in search of their perfect scent.

【1】According to the passage, what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of somebrand stores?

A.Unique scents. B.Friendly assistant.

C.Soft background music D.Attractive window display.

【2】E-shops are mentioned in the passage to _______.

A.show the advantages of brick-and-mortar stores

B.urge shop assistants to change their attitude

C.push stores to use sights and sounds

D.introduce the rise of e-commerce

【3】Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A.The sport goods company once found an 80 percent increase in purchase.

B.For stores in Paris, the smell is more important than the window displays.

C.Both the E-commerce and the real stores focus on the attractiveness of goods.

D.Many famous stores nowadays are trying hard to find the ideal scent.

【4】The main purpose of the passage is to ______.

A.compare and evaluate B.examine and assess

C.argue and discuss D.inform and explain

27、   Almost every kid in this country has ever eaten Hershey chocolate. But do you know that the Hershey chocolate factory is more than one hundred years old? And do you know that the father of Hershey Chocolate, Milton Hershey, had many failures in business before he started his famous company?

Milton Hershey was born in 1857 in central Pennsylvania. He stopped attending school when he was 12 years old. Before he became interested in making chocolate, he worked as a printer for a small newspaper at first, but he didn’t like it. Then he decided that printing was not the right job for him.

Then he worked at a candy factory in Lancaster. After working for a few years there, he decided to open his own little candy business near Philadelphia. His first business failed because it was not making money. After that, he went to Denver to learn how to make caramels(焦糖). He took his new skills back to New York and worked selling candies on the street. But his second business also failed.

Finally, Milton Hershey moved back to Pennsylvania where he grew up. He then experimented with all sorts of different candies and chocolate. By 1893 he was selling a million dollars worth of caramel candy each year. Since his chocolate-flavored caramels were the best-selling, he decided to make chocolate himself.

By experimenting, Milton Hershey discovered how to make delicious chocolate. The area where he lived had a large and easy supply of milk and sugar, which helped him succeed in his chocolate business. In 1903, Milton Hershey built a huge chocolate factory and a town to go with it.

Today, the town of Hershey is still the home of the factory that Milton Hershey built. The streetlights are shaped like the candy. The air often smells like chocolate. And if you ever visit it, you can smell delicious chocolate smells just by driving through the town.

The factory is not so hard to find, just travel down Cocoa Avenue until you get to East Chocolate Avenue. Turn right at the traffic lights and just follow your nose.

【1】Where did Milton Hershey spend his childhood?

A.In Pennsylvania B.In Lancaster C.In Philadelphia D.In New York

【2】Why did he decide to make chocolate himself?

A.Because he was taught to make delicious chocolate.

B.Because he got a new idea for making chocolate.

C.Because he built a huge chocolate factory himself.

D.Because he was just interested in eating chocolate.

【3】Which of the following sentences about Milton Hershey is TRUE?

A.In 1869, he left school and later worked as a printer for a small newspaper.

B.After his first business failed, he went to Lancaster to learn some new skills

C.He became very successful in chocolate business by experimenting caramels.

D.The factory is difficult to find when you travel down to East Chocolate Avenue.

【4】What does the underlined phrase “follow your nose” in the last paragraph mean?

A.Stop right there. B.Walk a few hours. C.Go straight ahead. D.Run as fast as possible.

【5】What is the correct order of the following sentences?

① A million dollars worth of caramel candy was sold each year.

② His second business failed.

③ He went to Lancaster and worked at a candy factory.

④ He worked as a printer for a small newspaper.

⑤ His chocolate business became a huge success.

A.③②⑤④① B.③②①④⑤ C.④②③⑤① D.④③②①⑤
