You need some bread and milk.But half an hour later,you leave the supermarket with a trolley(手推车) full of food.What games do supermarkets play to make us spend so much money?

The tricks usually start before you walk in.Outside the supermarket entrance,anybody who walks past can smell warm,fresh bread.That makes us hungry and ready to buy lots of food,not just bread.

Now you're inside and,of course,a small basket would be fine,but all they have are trolleys.And of course the problem with a trolley is that it looks sad and lonely with just one or two products inside.So we may fill it with something.In fact,supermarket trolleys are actually getting bigger so that we buy more.

Of course,many people shop in supermarkets because they think everything is cheaper than in other shops.So supermarkets offer very cheap prices on some things but then have higher prices for other products.One new trick is to put red stickers on products.Customers usually connect red stickers with lower prices so the red stickers is easy to be noticed,even when there is no reduction! Interestingly,this trick appears to work more with men than with women.

There is a story behind the position of everything in the supermarket.For example,customers often go only to buy milk.So they put it right at the back,forcing you to go past hundreds of shelves full of other products.The position of products on each shelf is also important.The most expensive products are usually at eye﹣level so you see these immediately.The exception is anything that children might like.These products are on lower shelves so that kids see them.

Apart from what you see and smell in a supermarket,what about what you listen to?In most supermarkets they have soft,slow music.It's so relaxing that you slow down and spend more time (and money) in the store.You also move more slowly when the supermarket is busy.Experts suggest it's better to shop when it's quieter,on a Monday or a Tuesday for example.And be careful with queues at the checkouts.These are sometimes deliberate(故意),to make you buy something from the checkout shelves while you wait.

So,next time you go into your local supermarket,remember these tricks and see if you can come with just the things you went for.

Rob Frenette had problems with bullies(欺辱) at school for eleven years.He was often lonely and scared.When he was fifteen,however,he decided to do something about his problems.He walked into a newspaper office and told them about the bullying.His story went into the newspaper and soon all the TV stations in Canada wanted to talk to him about his experiences.They also wanted to hear his ideas to stop bullying.

Fifteen years ago,I drove a taxi for a living.One day I went to pick up a passenger at 2:40 A.M.When I arrived there,I walked to the door and knocked."Just a minute,"answered a weak,elderly voice.

After a while,the door opened.A small woman stood before me.She was more than eighty years old.By her side was a big bag.

When we get into the taxi,she gave me an address,and then asked."Could you drive through downtown?"

"It's not the shortest way."I answered quickly.

"Oh,I'm in no hurry,"she said."I'm on my way to a hospice (临终关怀医院).I don't have any family left.The doctor says I don't have very long."

I quietly reached over and shut off the meter (计程表)

For the next two hours,we drove through the city.She showed me the building where she had once worked,the neighborhood where she had lived,and the place where she had gone dancing as a girl.

Sometimes she'd ask me to slow down in front of a special building and would sit staring into the darkness,saying nothing.

We drove in silence to the address she had given me

"How much do I pay you?"she asked.

"Nothing."I said.

"You have to make a living,"she answered.

"Oh,there are other passengers."I answered.

Almost without thinking,I gave her a hug (拥抱).She held on me and said."You gave an old woman a moment of joy."

61.When did the driver go to pick up the woman?  

62.How old was the woman?  

63.Where did the woman want to go?  

64.How much did the woman pay the driver?

You can't look at sunflowers and feel sad.Their big bright faces almost seem to be smiling at you on a summer day as they slowly turn toward the sun.Not only do the flowers make people happy,they also provide food for bees,birds and squirrels and many other small animals that love to eat the seeds(种子).

Sunflower seeds aren't only delicious to animals.People love them,too.You can find bags of them in the stores.They tell you what kind of seeds they are and how they should be planted.

There are hundreds of different kinds of sunflowers.The biggest ones are Mammoth Russians.They grow to over 10 feet tall and produce big round heads with bright yellow petals (花瓣)that are over a foot across.They grow on strong thick stems (茎)with big heart﹣shaped leaves.The ripe seed heads sometimes get so heavy that they hang down.Other kinds of sunflowers,called dwarf,produce small stems and smaller flowers in colors such as light yellow and deep bright orange or red.

Sunflower is also a place in America.People there love sunflowers so much,so they named their place "Sunflower".There are sunflowers everywhere.
