Shopping is not as simple as you may think! Much has to be done for the producers before putting the products on the shelf.

Color, for example, changes a lot according to what the producers are trying to sell. Health foods are packed in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colors.

When some kind of medicine was brought out recently, researchers found that the color of the package(包装) caused the shoppers to lose interest because they made the product look ineffective(无效的). At last, it came on the market in dark blue and white—blue because we think of it as safe, and white as calm.

The size of a package can also attract(吸引) a shopper, although quite often a bottle doesn’t hold as much as it appears to.

It is said that the better-known companies spend about 40 percent of the cost of the product itself on packaging!

The most successful producers know that it’s not enough to have a good product. The head of Pears Soap, who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to sell their goods, came to the conclusion: “Any fool can make soap, but it takes a talent to sell it.”

1. Health foods are usually packed in colors Except ________.

A. green            B. black          C. yellow            D. brown

2.Why did the shoppers lose interest in the medicine?

A. Because of the size of the product.      B. Because of the color of the product. 

C. Because of the color of the package.     D. Because of the cost of the product.

3.If a new product costs $ 60, how much money may be spent on packaging?

A. $ 24            B. $ 36            C. $ 40            D. $ 60

4.Which of the following is the key to the success in product sales?

A. The way to sell goods.              B. A good product.

C. The one who makes a product.        D. A nice color.

5.The passage is mainly about ___________on shopping.

“Ordinary” was the worst word my mother could find for anything. Whenever she took me out for shopping, I found she wouldn’t take any notice of the shop assistants when they suggested that some dresses were popular. She would say, “We’re not interested in that. Haven’t you got anything a little unusual?” And then the assistants would bring out all the strange colours no one else would buy. And later she and I would argue because I wanted to be ordinary but my mother wanted to be unusual.

“I can’t stand that hairdo (发型),” she said to me when I was in a boy hairstyle, “It’s so terribly ordinary... Not ugly, not unsuitable. But ordinary ...”

“Couldn’t you please wear something else?” I asked one day when she was dressing for Parents’ Day in tight (紧贴的) trousers and a bright pink sweater.

“What’t wrong with it!”

“It’s just that I wish you’d wear something ordinary.” I said, “People won’t laugh at.”

She looked at me angrily, “Are you ashamed of your mother? If you are, Mary, I feel sorry for you.”

1.What did the shop assistants advise Mary’s mother to buy?

A.Something very popular.

B.Styles they have sold out of.

C.Cheap clothes.

D.The most unusual clothes.

2. When Mary had her hair cut in a boy hairstyle, her mother ____.

A.felt happy with it

B.surely disliked it

C.told her to change it

D.thought it was unusual

3. Why did Mary ask her mother to change her clothes on Parents’ Day?

A.Because her mother’s clothes were out of style.

B.Because she didn’t like a pink sweater at all.

C.Because she didn’t like her mother to dress that way.

D.Because she didn’t want others to look at her mother.

4. What does her mother mean by “ordinary”?

A.Unusual.

B.Ugly.

C.Common.

D.Popular.

5. The underlined word “It” most likely means ____.

A.the hairdo

B.the dresser

C.the boy

D.the colour
