24、You need some bread and milk. But half an hour later, you leave the supermarket with a trolley(手推车) full of food. What games do supermarkets play to make us spend too much money?
The tricks(诡计、花招) usually start before you walk in. Outside the supermarket door, anybody who walks past can smell warm, fresh bread. That makes us hungry and ready to buy lots of food, not just bread.
Now you’re inside and, of course, a small basket would be fine, but in some supermarkets all they have are trolleys. And of course the problem with a trolley is that it looks sad and lonely with just one or two products inside. So we may fill it with something. In fact, supermarket trolleys are actually getting bigger so that we buy more.
Of course, many people shop in supermarkets because they think everything is cheaper than in other shops. So supermarkets offer very cheap prices on some things but then have higher prices for other products. One new trick is to put red stickers on products. Customers usually connect red stickers with lower prices so the red stickers are easy to be noticed, even when there is no reduction! Interestingly, this trick appears to work more with men than with women.
There is a story behind the position of everything in the supermarket. For example, customers often go only to buy milk. So they put it right at the back, forcing you to go past hundreds of shelves full of other products. The position of products on each shelf is also important. The most expensive products are usually at eye-level so you see these at once. The exception is anything that children might like. These products are on the shelves so that kids can see and even reach them.
Except what you see and smell in a supermarket, how about what you listen to? In most supermarkets they have soft, slow music. It’s so relaxing that you slow down and spend more time (and money) in the store. You also move more slowly when the supermarket is busy. Experts suggest it’s better to shop when it’s quieter, on a Monday or a Tuesday for example. And be careful at the checkouts when you pay for the things you buy. These are sometimes on purpose, to make you buy something from the checkout shelves while you wait for your turn.
So, next time you go into your local supermarket, remember these tricks and see if you can come with just the things you want.
【1】According to the passage, toys for children are usually placed ____________.
A. on the back shelves B. on the lower shelves
C. on the front shelves D. on the higher shelves
【2】What is the passage mainly about?
A. Several rules that every business should follow.
B. Some advertisements that make people buy more.
C. Several ways supermarkets use to sell more products.
D. Some advice when people go shopping in supermarkets.
【3】The writer probably agrees that ____________.
A. people like soft and slow music in supermarkets
B. things are cheaper in supermarkets than in other shops
C. people should just buy things they need in supermarkets
D. people should leave the supermarket with a trolley full of things
25、Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton(骨骼) in the closet (衣橱)?” Jessica asked. “A skeleton in the closet?” her mother thought for a while. “Well, it’s something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad’s family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be ‘a skeleton in his family’s closet’. He really wouldn’t want any neighbor to know about it.”
“Why pick on my family?” Jessica’s father said with anger. “Your family history isn’t so good, you know. Wasn’t your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was brought to Australia for his crimes?” “Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors(祖先) arrived as prisoners.” “Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.
After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica’s parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and from time to time she looked angrily at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica’s closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica’s mother sank in a faint(晕倒), waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.
“What happened? Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the school’s skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I wanted to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I said something about skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “They’re both crazy,” she thought.
【1】According to Jessica’s mother, “a skeleton in the closet” means ________.
A. a family honor B. a family secret
C. a family story D. a family treasure
【2】 Why did Jessica bring a skeleton home?
A. She was curious about it.
B. She planned to keep it for fun.
C. She needed it for her school task.
D. She wanted to scare her parents.
【3】 Jessica’s parents laughed madly at the end of the story probably because ________.
A. they realized their misunderstanding
B. they were crazy
C. they were over excited
D. they both thought they had won the quarrel
26、This is a typical(典型的) day for Yang Jinlong.

27、 In China and even in the world, Huawei is a wonder (奇迹). Although it started producing mobile phones not many years ago, it has become one of the most famous phone companies.
Now Huawei has got third place at the mobile market, just following Apple and Samsung. After seeing more of its smartphones(智能手机)were sold last year, Huawei appears to be more confident in its bigger goals.

“The number of our smartphones is still growing,” Yu said, "and our company is expecting an increase of 30% in smartphone shipments(出货量),It'll be a great success."
