22、Hands-on experience is still attractive to many buyers, although online ordering is popular in the UK today.

Oxford Street

London is shoppers’ paradise, and most visitors head for Oxford Street. Halfway along is Sel-fridges, one of the world’s first department stores where the architecture and window dressing impress even before you go in. There are at least four other major stores on this street, plus Europe’s largest music shop. In December the atmosphere is especially festive because of the Christmas lights which are always lighted by a politician, a great sportsman, or a super star.

Kensington High Street

A fashionable area for shopping is Kensington High Street. One of its department stores even has a roof garden—good for relaxing between purchases. There’s also an organic food superstore.

Borough Market

You can’t visit London and not go to a supermarket. One of the oldest and best for food is probably Borough Market on the south bank of the Thames. Get off the underground at London Bridge and wander among fresh fish stalls, bakeries, and fruit and vegetable sellers. You can also buy specialist food to take away, like cheeses, pork pies, mustard and chutney.

More places for bargains

Portobello Road on a Saturday is your best choice for jewelry or collector’s items. It’s a short walk from the subway station at Notting Hill Gate and you never know what you will find. For clothes, Camden Market is the place. It gets a little crowded at the weekends, though. Convent Garden offers great experience for the simple pleasure of looking at jewelry and gifts.

【1】Oxford Street becomes special in December for ________.

A. the wonderful window dressing

B. the Europe’s largest music shop

24、   Buyer beware: There’s a reason why online ticket sellers hit you with last-second fees. A massive experiment by Berkeley professsor Tadelis with the online ticket marketplace StubHub concluded that “drip pricing”, where additional fees are only disclosed when customers are ready to confirm their purchases, resulted in people spending more. “Websites incorporating ‘hidden fees’ are making more money than they would if they chose to honestly display all fees upfront,” Tadelis said.

The study set out to find out how “drip pricing” affects both the quantity and types of ticket purchases through a large-scale, real-world randomized experiment. For the experiment, StubHub randomly assigned half of all the users to an experimental hidden-fee structure where buyers saw only the ticket list price as they shopped, and extra fees were only displayed on the checkout page, which generally amounted to 15% of the ticket price including shipping. The other half of StubHub users continued to see the all-inclusive prices. This setup allowed Tadelis and his colleagues to compare the choices made by the two groups, such as purchases and clicks towards checkout.

Overall, users who weren’t shown the additional fees upfront spent about 21% more on tickets and were 14% more likely to complete a purchase compared with those who saw all-inclusive prices from the start. Among all those who made purchases, customers in the hidden-fee group bought tickets that were about 5% more expensive than those in the upfront fee group, buying more tickets for seats located closer to the field or the event stage.

The findings raise questions for whether the misinformed consumers have a right to full price disclosure upfront. Professor Tadelis noted that some governments have considered regulating this behavior to increase transparency—Canada, for example, has banned the use of drip pricing for ticket sales. “I can’t think of a good reason to allow this practice in any country as the harm to consumers is clear from our study,” Tadelis said.

【1】Online ticket sellers reveal the extra fees only at the last moment to________.

A．offer cheaper tickets

B．increase the selling transparency

C．make more profits

D．allow buyers more time to consider

【2】What can we learn about the experiment from Paragraph 2?

A．Participants were divided into halfs at their will.

B．All users could see the additional fees in advance.

C．Shipping fees amount to 15% of the ticket price.

D．Researchers compared the two groups’ choices.

【3】What do we know about “dripping price”?

A．It made 14% more customers buy tickets.

B．It helped to increase ticket profits by 5%.

C．It has been regulated by the governments.

D．It caused customers to spend more money.

【4】What is professor Tadelis’ attitude towards “drip pricing”?

A．It is practical and deserves promoting.

B．It is harmful and should be banned.

C．It is costly but can be accepted.

D．It is beneficial but needs regulating.
