Board, But Not Boring

Roll the Dice and Take a Chance on Something New…

Are you vacationed-out, tired of video-gaming, waterlogged by too many trips to the pool and ready to scream if you see one more “SpongeBob” rerun?

In other words, are you bored with summer?

We’ve got a suggestion: Kill that boredom with some great board boredom games. We went to game expert Lizzy Palmer of Barston’s Child’s Play in the District and ask for suggestions. All the games you see on this page are a ton of fun, she said, and there are sure to be at least one or two that you don’t already have.

Maptangle

Borderline Games

Ages 7 and older, 4 to 6 players, $24.95

This clever take on the classic game of Twister

challenges your gymnastic and geographic

skills at the same time. A huge floor map of

the world serves as the game board. There are

lots of geographic elements: countries, oceans,

rivers, deserts, even man-made landmarks. A

deck of cards tells you where to put one foot,

then the other. The round is over when someone falls.

Jungle Speed

Ages 7 and older, 2 to 8

players, $25.99

This is a fast-paced shape-

recognition game. A wooden totem

(图腾柱) sits in the middle. Players flip

(翻) over cards one at a time. When your

card matches another, be the first to grab

the totem so that you can give your card to the loser. But be careful: Some cards look the same but aren’t!

Enchanted Forest

Ravensburger Ages 6 and older, 2 to 6 players,

$24.99

A classic memory game. Take a winding path

through the forest and check under the trees for

fairy-tale treasure. Remember what you saw so

that when you need a particular treasure you can

go back to that tree to get it. Cool rule: You can split your dice (骰子) roll—for example, move five spaces in one direction and two in the other to land at the right tree.

Go fish for Wildlife Birdcage Press All ages, $9.95

Birdcage has several decks (副) of cards that are

more like trading cards. You fish for sea creatures,

reptiles, wild animals. Each deck has instructions

for several card games, and each card has great

photos and fun facts. Great for a trip.

HedBanz Funrise Ages 6 and older, 2 to 6

players, $13.99

Put on a headband and slip in a card that shows an

animal or thing. Everyone else can see it but you.

Ask questions until you guess what it is—but do it

before time runs out!

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　Never go into a supermarket hungry!This is a good piece of advice．If you go shopping for food before lunchtime, you'll probably buy more than you plan to．Unfortunately, however, just this advice isn't enough for consumers these days．Modern shoppers need an education in how not to buy things at the store．First, you check the weekly newspaper ads．Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need these things．In other words, don't buy anything just because it's cheaper than usual!“New and Improved!”or“All Natural”on the front of a package influence you．Instead, read the list of ingredients(contents)on the back．Third, compare prices： that is, you should examine the prices of both different brands and different sizes of the same brand．

　　Another suggestion for consumers is to buy ordinary items instead of famous brands．Ordinary items in supermarkets come in plain packages．These products are cheaper because producers don't spend much money on packing or advertising．The quality, however, is usually as good as the quality of well-known name brands．In the same way, in buying clothes, you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous．Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money．Although these stores aren't very attractive, and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms, not only are the prices low, but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores．

　　Wise consumers read magazine ads and watch TV commercials, but they do this with one advantage： knowledge of the psychology behind the ads．In other words, well-informed consumers watch for information and check for misinformation．They ask themselves questions： Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page?Is there any real information in the commercial, or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image?With the answers to these questions, consumers can make a wise choice．

(1)

[　　]
A．	ordinary items never say “New and Improved” or “All Natural”
B．	ordinary products are usually cheaper than famous brands
C．	producers spend less money on packaging of ordinary items
D．	the quality of ordinary items is usually as good as that of famous brands

(2)

What does the writer think about ads?
[　　]
A．	They are believable．
B．	They are attractive．
C．	They are full of misinformation．
D．	They are helpful to wise consumers．

(3)

One of the author's suggestions to consumers is ________．
[　　]
A．	to make use of ads
B．	not to buy items with words like “New and Improved” or “All Natural”
C．	to buy high quality items such as famous brands after lunch
D．	to buy all ordinary items instead of famous brands

(4)

The author implies that ________．
[　　]
A．	going into the supermarket hungry, you may buy more than you plan to
B．	the quality of ordinary items is usually high and the prices are relatively low
