Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics(策略).One tactic involves wh
9、ere 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,the womens shoe section is generally next to the
10、womens 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 and find some cosmetics they might want to try later.Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encoura
11、ges shopping, so 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 wines went up.When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use hi
12、ghly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds 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
13、 windows, and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.1.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.T

17、our beach umbrella and watched our children playing in the waves.Out of nowhere, the children took off running. About fifty yards from us, a manmaybe in his fiftieswas fishing. The children stood next to him and watched with their little mouths hanging open as he cast the fishing lines. He smiled at
18、 them. They ran back to usall except my three-year-old daughter, Drew.My heart beat fast with horror. “Drew! Come here! Play with your friends!” I shouted, very aware that my speeches about not talking to strangers werent working. It seemed that many parents heard of horrible stories about children
19、being taken away by strangers. Responsible mothers should teach their children that the world is a dangerous place. So I felt relieved when Drew ran towards me and took hold of a shovel(铲子). Then she looked me in the eye: “I want to be with the person.”Again, she approached the middle-aged man, and
20、started digging next to him.Several seconds later, she returned, waving something shiny.“Look, Mommy! A toy fish!”It was, indeed, a toy fishyellow and rubber. This must have been what he was using to attract the fish. And hed given it to Drew. The three other children were deeply impressed, and they
21、 didnt try to hide how jealous(妒忌的)they wereclearly, they all wanted the fish.“My friend gave me that fish!” Drew shouted loudly. The sand in front of the umbrella turned into a preschool cage match with a yellow rubber fish flying through the air. I felt like I might cry myself.Unexpectedly, there
22、he was: the man, standing right next to us with three more rubber fish in hand. He handed them to each of the children. By their faces, you would have thought he was actually the really kind big brother.“Thank you,” I said, realizing that there is good and kindness in strangers.1.How did the author

25、n countries. Cross cultural awareness and an understanding of foreign etiquette is important if you want to succeed as an international business person. Behaviour that is polite at home may be considered rude in another country. In particular, by learning about dining etiquette and table manners, yo
26、u can avoid offending people and this can directly influence your business success.John Smiths book The Perfect Guest is a goldmine of information for the globe - trotting business person. There are chapters dedicated to all the main problem areas of dining etiquette and entertaining in different co
27、untries and tips on how to cope with embarrassing situations.These are some of the areas which are covered in the book.Seating arrangementsWhether you are eating at a restaurant or at someones home, there may be a fixed protocol of who sits where. Do men and women sit together? Is there a hierarchy
28、according to age or status? Rules vary greatly. For example, inKorea, it is customary to offer the best seat to the most senior person; in theUS, there are no specific seating rules. If you dont know where to sit, wait until your host shows you.ConversationIs the dining table the right place to have
29、 a conversation or is the meal taken in silence? In France, for instance, the meal is a social affair with loud animated conversations and most topics are acceptable, including business.

30、he dinner table.FoodWhat type of food is popular? Is it polite to remark on the food? Should you eat everything or leave some food on your plate?

34、s mainly built for building systems. _For example, women are more likely to read magazines on fashion and parenting, while men will choose magazines featuring computers and sports.You may think that these preferences are influenced by the way people are taught to behave as they grow up. However, thi
35、s is not the case. A new study carried out at Cambridge University shows that newborn girls look longer at a face, and that newborn boys look longer at a mobile. _It has also been observed that girls are better at noticing signs of changes in other peoples feelings, and that boys seem to enjoy build
36、ing toy towers and playing with toys having clear functions. _People whose jobs are in the construction industries are almost males. Math and engineering, which require high levels of systems-thinking, are also the disciplines men choose. Why do men and women have the differences? Actually women hav
37、e four times as many brain neurons as men that connect the right and left parts of the brain. Because of it, women have a better ability to multitask than men. _Men tend to focus on a limited number of problems at a time. They will separate themselves from problems and view tasks as independent from
38、 one another.Some people may worry that I am suggesting one gender is better than the other, but this is not the case. My theory says that males and females differ in the kinds of things that they find easy, and that both genders have their own strengths and weaknesses. _It is not true. The study si
39、mply thinks of males and females as two groups, and explores what differences exist.A. Generally speaking, there are clear differences.B. You can see the same kind of pattern in the adults workplace.C. Their preference for building systems may change over time.D. They can consider many sources of in
40、formation at the same time.E. It is important to stress that the female brain may be built more for empathy.F. That suggests certain differences between male brains and female brains are biological.G. Others may think the theory creates a belief about what a particular type of person is like.6、When
41、I was a teenager I volunteered to pass out water at a local race. I was so excited to 1 all the different runners who passed by and quickly took a cup of water. Some walked fast, some jogged past and a few 2 past.Watching so many 3 of people doing it, I thought maybe I could do it too! The next year
