四、阅读理解
A
Shopping is not as simple as you may think! There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand (品牌) of product on the shelf.
Colouring, for example, varies according to what the producers are trying to sell. Health foods are packaged (包装) in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colours. Ice cream packets are often blue and expensive goods, like chocolates, are gold or silver.
When some kind of painkiller was brought out recently, researchers found that the colours turned the customers off because they made the product look weak and ineffective. Eventually, it came on the market in a dark blue and white package—blue because we think of it as safe, and white as calm.
The size of a product can attract a shopper. But quite often a bottle doesn’t contain as much as it appears to.
It is believed that the better-known companies spend, on average, 70 per cent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging!
The most successful producers know that it’s not enough to have a good product. The founder of Pears soap, who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to promote (推销) their goods, came to the conclusion: “Any fool can make soap, but it takes a genius (天才) to sell it.”
61. Which of the following may trick a shopper into buying a product according to the text?
A. The cost of its package. B. The price of the product.
C. The colour of its package. D. The brand name of the product.
62. The underlined part “the colours turned the customers off”(in Para. 3 ) means that the colours ________.
A. attracted the customers strongly B. had weak effects on the customers
C. tricked the customers into shopping D. caused the customers to lose interest
63. Which of the following is the key to the success in product sales?
A. The way to promote goods. B. The discovery of a genius.
C. The team to produce a good product. D. The brand name used by successful producers.
64. Which of the following would be the best title for this text?
A. Choice of Good Products B. Disadvantages of Products
C. Effect of Packaging on Shopping D. Brand Names and Shopping Tricks
B
Pulling heavy suitcases all day in the summer is hard work, especially when you’re a thin 14-year-old. That was me in 1940—the youngest and smallest baggage boy at New York City’s Pennsylvania Railway Station.
After just a few days on the job, I began noticing that the other fellows were overcharging passengers. I’d like to join them, thinking, “Everyone else is doing it.”
When I got home that night, I told my dad what I wanted to do. “You give an honest day’s work,” he said, looking at me straight in the eye. “They’re paying you. If they want to do that, you let them do that.”
I followed my dad's advice for the rest of that summer and have lived by his words ever since.
Of all the jobs I've had, it was my experience at Pennsylvania Railway Station that has stuck with me. Now I teach my players to have respect for other people and their possessions. Being a member of a team is a totally shared experience. If one person steals, it destroys trust and hurts everyone. I can put up with many things, but not with people who steal. If one of my players were caught stealing, he'd be gone.
Whether you’re on a sports team, in an office or a member of a family, if you can’t trust one another, there’s going to be trouble.
65. What can be inferred about the baggage boys?
A. They could earn much, but they had to work hard. B. Many of them earned money in a dishonest way.
C. They were all from poor families. D. They were all thin, young boys.
66. What does the father's advice imply?
A. It is wrong to give more pay to the passengers. B. Don’t believe them if they are paying you more.
C. Don’t follow others to overcharge the passengers. D. It is difficult to work hard and live as an honest boy.
67. The writer can't put up with stealing because he thinks that ________.
A. it is a totally shared experience B. it is considered as the most dangerous
C. it does great harm to human relationship D. it may lead to the loss of his sports team
68. It can be concluded from the text that ________.
A. his father's advice helped him to decide which job to take up
B. working in the sports team was his most important experience
C. he learnt much from his shared experience with his team members
D. his experience as a baggage boy had a great influence on his later life

A thief who dropped a winning lottery ticket(彩票) at the scene of his crime has been given a lesson in honesty. His victim, who picked up the ticket, then claimed the ￡25000 prize, managed to trace him, and handed over the cash. The robbery happened when maths professor Vinicio Sabbatucci, 58, was changing a tyre on an Italian motorway. Another motorist, who stopped to “to help”, stole a suitcase from his car and drove off. The professor found the dropped ticket and put it in his pocket before driving home to Ascoli in eastern Italy.
Next day, he saw the lottery results on TV and, taking out the ticket, realized it was a winner. He claimed the 60 million lire (里拉) prize. Then he began a battle with his conscience. Finally, he decided he could not keep the money despite having been robbed. He advertised in newspapers and on radio, saying: “I’m trying to find the man who robbed me. I have 60 million lire for him --- a lottery win. Please meet me. Anonymity (匿名) guaranteed.”
Professor Sabbatucci received hundreds of calls from people hoping to trick him into handing them the cash. But there was one voice he recognized --- and he arranged to meet the man in a park. The robber, a 35-year-old unemployed father of two, gave back the suitcase and burst into tears. He could not believe what was happening. “Why didn’t you keep the money?” He asked. The professor replied: “ I couldn’t because it’s not mine.” Then he walked off, spurning the thief’s offer of a reward.

SOUTHPORT, ENGLAND—A British teaching union famous for strange ideas has supported proposal to employ dogs as classroom assistants .
At the annual conference of the Professional Association of Teachers in Southport , northwest of England , one person suggested properly trained dogs be able to keep order in primary schools .They can round up lost children and protect those who experience unfortunate “accidents”. Wendy Dyble, a Sheetland Islands woman who teaches children up to age seven , made it clear to her fellow friends that she was not “barking mad”. They obviously believed her , supporting her idea by 16 votes to 13 , with a total of 63 abstentions .
She said big dogs could help round up children , keep them in line , lick up the milk they spill on the floor and provide the extra eyes that a teacher needs to keep order . “A big dog would also be helpful for breaking up fights and look for lost property , like gym shoes or dolls ,” Dyble said at the conference . “The dog will also be useful in sniffing out smells that children do not own up to , ”she added . “It would be nice for the teacher not to have to go round sniffing each child to find the culprit .”
The idea was greeted by the Dog Defense League but less so by bigger teaching unions . A spokesman for Education Secretary David Blunkett , who is blind , said his guide dog was always popular with pupils when he visited schools . The Professional Association of Teachers , with around 35,000 members , is the smallest teaching union in Britain . It has an honour for occasional strange ideas .
Earlier this week , its annual conference here suggested stopping exams because they lead to stress and introducing selection at the age of 12 based on physical coordination and manual skill in the use of hand .
77．According to the writer’s opinion , to employ dogs as classroom assistants .
A．is a wonderful idea B．can improve the relation between children and animals
C．is beyond ordinary people’s minds D．can make some teachers lose jobs
78．What Dyble said at the conference .
A．gained some support from the members B．frightened everyone at the conference
C．interested everyone at the conference D．caused some trouble to trained dogs
79．A spokesman for Education Secretary .
A．once used a dog as classroom assistant B．sang high praise for Dyble’s idea
C．would employ dogs as teachers D．benefited from dogs more than others
80．The last paragraph of this passage .
A．has nothing to do with the topic of this passage B．shows there are too many exams in British school
C．provides further facts about the teaching union D．shows the writer’s anger to the union
