You’re standing in the dairy section at the grocery store, searching for your favorite brand. Suddenly, you catch a smell of chocolate cookies. You forget about dairy and head for the bakery (烘烤食品) section. Guess what? You just walked into an odor (气味) trap (陷阱)! The odor was cooked up by scientists in a lab.
For years, scientists have been studying the special powers of smell. They found that more than our other senses, smell changes our mood and helps us remember things.
So companies have begun spending thousands of dollars to scent (使充满香味) entire stores. Artificial (人造的) scents are being used to lead customers by the nose. These smells help to get people inside and put them in the mood to buy. They even make customers remember the store later, so they’ll come back for more. Also, many companies have smartly made use of product smells. A company added lemon fragrance to its dish cleaner. They wanted people to think the soap contained “natural” cleaners. It worked!
New uses for smells are being created every day. One bank, for example, gives customers coupons (优惠券) advertising car loans (贷款). To get people to take out a loan, bank officials hope to coat these coupons with the fresh leather smell of a new car. In Australia, telephone offices are putting sweat odor on unpaid bills. Since some people sweat when they’re scared, this smell might remind them of when they were frightened. And they’ll pay the bills right away!
What lies ahead for our noses? Smell scientists are working on some pretty far-out ideas. Would you believe TV sets that produce smells? Or how about scent diets? Certain food smells will fool your stomach into thinking it’s full. Alarm clocks will scent your bedroom with a strong pleasant smell designed to wake you up. Scientists are even working on ways to keep garbage from smelling. Researchers expect scents to help students make more sense of what they’re learning.
And just think. Someday soon, even your homework may smell nice!
【小题1】How do sales methods affect customers in the stores?
| A．They change customers’ preferences. |
| B．They persuade customers to use credit cards. |
| C．They make customers avoid bad and unsafe products. |
| D．They influence customers to make unplanned purchases. |
| A．Because the sweat odor is a reminder of terrifying experience. |
| B．Because the sweat odor can change people’s attitude. |
| C．Because most people don’t think much of sweating. |
| D．Because many people dislike paying bills. |
| A．Students would benefit more from smell research. |
| B．Students would be more willing to do homework. |
| C．Smell research would develop beyond our imagination. |
| D．Smell research would make great differences to our life. |
| A．To encourage the store owners to use smells. |
| B．To expose wrong practices by smell scientists. |
| C．To inform the readers of an interesting subject. |
| D．To blame the advertisers that use smells to sell. |

科目：高中英语 来源：2012-2013学年陕西省五校联考高三第二次模拟考试英语卷（解析版） 题型：阅读理解
The world is filled with smart, talented, educated and gifted people．We meet them every day A few days ago, my car was not running well．I pulled it in to a garage and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes．He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine．I was amazed．The sad truth is that great talent is not enough．
I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn. I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100,000 a year. A business consultant who specializes in1 the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially. It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase, “They are one skill away from great wealth．”
There is an old saying that goes, "Job means 'just over broke（破产）’"．And unfortunately, I would say that the saying applies to millions of people．Because schools do not think financial intelligence is intelligence, most workers "live within their means"．They work and they pay the bills．Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than what they will earn．
When I ask the classes I teach, “How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald's?” almost all the students raise their hands. I then ask, “So if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come McDonald's makes more money than you?” The answer is obvious: McDonald's is excellent at business systems. The world is filled with talented poor people. They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.
1.The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that ．
A．he is just one of the talented people
B．he is ready to help others
C．he has a sharp sense of hearing
D．he knows little about car repairing
2.The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by____ ．
A．spend more than they can afford
B．do in their own way
C．1ive in their own circle
D．1ive within what they earn
3.Why do talented people earn so little according to the author?
A．They don’t work hard enough
B．They lack financial intelligence．
C．They don't make full use of their talents
D．They have no specialized skills．
4.The main purpose of the author is to tell us____ ．
A．how young people can find a satisfactory job
B．What schools should teach about finance
C．why so many talented people are poor
D．how McDonald's makes much money
