八．阅读理解。

1）、阅读下面短文，根据短文内容判断句子的正误，正确的涂“A”，错误的涂“B”。

A

Are supermarkets designed to persuade

us to buy more? When you enter a supermarket, the manager knows better than you do ：how you will behave -which way you will walk, where you will look, what will make you buy one product rather than another. When customers go into a shop, they naturally look to their left but move clockwise, towards the right. So supermarket entrances are usually on the left of the building, and the layout is designed to take shoppers around the store, aisle after aisle, from left to right. Then shoppers will pay attention to all the products.

Fresh fruit and vegetables are displayed near supermarket entrances. This gives the impression that only healthy food is sold in the shop. Basic foods that everyone buys, like sugar and tea, are not put near each other. They are kept in different aisles so customers are taken past other attractive foods before they find what they want. In this way, shoppers are encouraged to buy products that they do not really need.

People walk quickly through narrow aisles, but they move more slowly in wide aisles and give more attention to the products. One best-selling position for products is at the end of aisles, because shoppers slow down to turn into the next aisle, Another is on shelves at eye level. Supermarkets are paid by food manufacturers to put their products in each of these high-selling places.

Sweets are often placed at children's eye level at the checkout. While parents are waiting to pay, children reach for the sweets and put them in the trolley(手推车).

More is bought from a fifteen-foot display of one type of product （e.g. cereals, washing powder) than from a ten-foot one. Customers also buy more when shelves are full than when they are half empty. They do not like to buy from shelves with few products on them because they feel there is something wrong with those products that are there.

( ) 61 When you are in a supermarket, the manager knows what you are going to buy even

better than you do.

( ) 62. Manufacturers often pay the supermarkets so that their products can be put at the end of aisles or on shelves at eye level.

( )63. Fruit and vegetables are display near the supermarket entrances so they will always be fresh and be sold out sooner.

( )64. Children can easily buy sweets because their parents are waiting to pay.

( )65. To make good sales, supermarkets always fill the shelves full.

B. 根据短文内容，完成下面表格中所缺的信息。把答案按编号依次填入表格内的题号后。Li Ming is presently studying English in New York. He has not been there long, and he is quite a mazed at the great differences between American and Chinese cultures.

For one thing, Americans Chinese are different in arranging a visit. Chinese tend to call on their friends unexpectedly. Americans, on the other hand, prefer making an appointment in

advance（提前）. An unexpected visitor is regarded as impolite.

For another thing, their table manners differ. Chinese usually eat directly from the serving dish. And during the meal, the hosts may keep putting food on the guest’s plate. An American, however , only eats from his own plate. He never picks up food for others unless he is asked to do so.

Moreover, they have different ways in responding to complimenting remarks. When a Chinese hostess is praised for her cooking skills, for instance, she will instantly apologize for being a poor cook. Yet an American hostess is likely to accept it, “Oh,I’m glad you liked it. I cooked it especially for you.”

At the beginning, it was hard for Li Ming to get used to things around him because of these cult ural differences. But soon, he succeeded in adjusting to their way of doing things. “When in Rome , do as the Romans do,” he like to say when he was asked how he could get along in a new culture.
