How? Packaging is the silent but persuading salesman.There on the shelves, each bottle, can, box, and jar has been carefully designed and measured to speak to the inner self of the consumer, so that he is buying not only a product but also his belief in life. Scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found that the look of the packages has a great effect on the “quality” of the product and on how well it sells, because “Consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package. Many products are packages and many packages are products,” as Louis Cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers feeling for packaging, noticed. Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of eye movements have shown that colors draw human attention quickly. Take V8 for example. For many years, the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottles makes you feel that it is very good for your body. And the word “green” today can keep food prices going up.Shapes are another attraction. Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness, because these shapes are pleasing to both the eyes and the heart. Thats why the round yellow M signs of Mc-Donalds are inviting to both young and old. This new consumer response to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers that people buy to satisfy both body and soul. 21. According to the passage, _ seems to be able to persuade a consumer to buy the product. A. the pleasing color of the package B. the special taste of the productC. the strange shape of the packageD. the belief in the product 22. If a package or a product is round in shape, it can _.A. bring excitement to the consumersB. attract the consumers attention C. catch the eye movement of the consumersD. produce a happy and peaceful feeling 23. “And the word green today can keep food prices going up.”This sentence suggests that consumers today are _.A. starting to notice the importance of new food B. enjoying the beauty of nature more than before C. paying more attention to their health D. beginning to like green vegetablesBPrinceton University Location The university is in Princeton, New Jersey.

In a recent Hollywood edy, that is exactly what happens. Dave Kovic, played by Kevin Kline, is a kind-hearted man who runs a business that finds people jobs. He leads a typical American way of life, except for one thing-he looks exactly like the President, Bill Mitchell. In fact, the only thing that makes him different from the nations leader is that he is very nice!The President has started using look-alike during some public appearances. Dave is offered a chance to “serve his country” by being one. However, things go wrong. The President bees very ill and Dave ends up acting as the President forever. Director Ivan Reitman, who made the popular and successful edies like Twins, Ghostbusters and Legal Eagles, could have gone for easy laughs by making fun of the American government. Instead, Dave is an attractive edy about an ordinary man in extraordinary situations. Kevin Kline gives a double performance as Dave and the President, and Sigourney Weaver is at her best as his First Lady. The love story that develops between her role and Dave is a real classic. The film is 100% American. However, if youve ever felt that anybody could do a better job running the country than the people in power, then youll enjoy Dave. 28. What is the purpose of the text? A. To tell the reader about the American government.B. To discuss the Americans ideas about the President.C. To introduce a new film to the reader.D. To make a parison between Dave and other films.29.

The author makes fun of the President.B. The author thinks highly of the film.C. The author is a fan of Hollywood edies.D. The author wishes to bee the American President. DWhen asked about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, an absolute delight, which seems to get rarer the older we get. For kids, happiness has a magical quality. Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved (毫无掩饰的).In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes. Suddenly its conditional on such things as excitement, love and popularity. I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party.In adulthood the things that bring deep joy-love, marriage, birth-also bring responsibility and the risk of loss. For adults, happiness is plicated.My definition of happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”. The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. Its easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the pany of friends, the freedom to live where we please, and even good health. I experience my little moments of pleasure yesterday. First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunch-box and had the house to myself. Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing, which I love. When the kids and my husband came home, I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day.Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work. I dont think that my grandmother, who raised 14 children, had much of either. She did have a network of close friends and family, and maybe this is what satisfied her.We, however, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned happiness into one more thing weve got to have. Were so self-conscious about our “right” to it that its making us miserable. So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things arent necessarily happier. Happiness isnt about what happens to us - its about how we see what happens to us. Its the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative. Its not wishing for what we dont have, but enjoying what we do possess. 32. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 5 and 6 ? A. She cares little about her own healthB. She enjoys the freedom of travelling C. She prefers getting pleasure from housework D. She is easily pleased by things in daily life33. What can be inferred from Paragraph 7? A. Psychologists think satisfying work is the key to happinessB. Psychologists opinion is well proved by Grandmas caseC. Grandmas happiness came from modest expectations of life D. Grandma often found time for social gatherings 34. People who equal happiness with wealth and success _.A. consider pressure something blocking their way B. stress their right to happiness too much C. are at a loss to make correct choices D. are more likely to be happy 35. What can be concluded from the passage? A. Happy is he who is contentB. Each man is the master of his own fateC. Success leads to happinessD. Happiness lies between the positive and the negative 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Business is the organized approach to providing customers with the goods and services they want.

If we are wise, we accept these failures as a necessary part of the learning process. 61 all too often as parents and teachers we do not allow our children to have the same right.

He seldom answered questions for fear 66 he might be wrong. He seldom finished his work because he repeatedly checked with me to be sure he hadnt made a mistake. I tried my best to build up 67 self-confidence. And I 68 (frequent) asked God for direction. But nothing changed until midterm, 69 Mary Anne, a student teacher, was appointed to our classroom.

However, we should refuse to live in throw-away society by using less one-off product. But most important, public awareness of sharing and caring is to be further promoted.
