You need some bread and milk.But half an hour later,you leave the supermarket with a trolley(手推車) full of food.What games do supermarkets play to make us spend so much money?
    The tricks (計謀)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 product 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 supermarket 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 tickers on products.Customers usually connect red stickers with lower prices so the red sticker 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(例外)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 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(隊(duì)伍)at the checkouts(付款臺).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 ticks and see if you can come with just the things you went for.

  • 1.Dear Dr Lee,
       The days of mine are not all sunny.As a middle school student,I have many problems.On the one hand,I am under great pressure(壓力) in my studies,I need to take the exams every month.If I fall behind other students,I will feel that I am not doing well.I always want to be the best,but things can't go on my way.On the other hand,I don't want to talk to my parents about my problems.If they ask me questions,I will answer them with few words.I think they won't understand me.And my body grows fast,changes happen in me,I can't control my emotion(情緒).What should I do?
    LauraDear Laura,
       It's normal to have these problems.But don't worry.The life is not always wonderful.Everybody has growing pains(痛苦) on their way to the growth.But the time is fair(公平的),gains(收獲) are always with pains.Growing pains seem full of knowledge and experience.Although there's so much homework,so many exams,and so many different ideas between the parents and you,you will learn how to make your dreams come true by working hard and how to understand each other by talking with your parents.Growing pains worry you a lot but they will give you power(力量) and confidence(自信) at the same time.They can help you to be successful and make more friends as well.Successes and friendships can make you happy and enjoyable.Both pains and gains can make your life more colorful.So I think what you need to do is learning to adjust(調(diào)節(jié)) yourself and get used to these changes.You need to open your heart and have less pressure.

  • 3.Dear Laura,
       Thanks for your message.Yes,I'm having a great time on my exchange program in France.I was a bit nervous before I arrived here,but there was no reason to be.My host family is really nice.They go out of their way to make me feel at home.The grandmother has a teenage granddaughter about my age who is rally kind.She always talks to me in French to help me practice.And you wouldn't believe how quickly my French has improved!I'm very comfortable speaking French now.
       Although I still make lots of mistakes,it doesn't worry me as it used to.
       My biggest challenge is learning how to behave at the dinner table As you can imagine,things are really different from the way they are at home.For example,you shouldn't put your bread on your plate.You are supposed to put it on the table!I thought that was pretty strange at first,but now I'm used to it.You shouldn't eat anything with your hands except bred,not even fruit!You have to cut it up and eat it with a fork.Another thing is that it is very impolite to say you're full If you don't want any more food,you should just say, "It was delicious.".Also,you shouldn't put your elbow on the table I have to say that I find it difficult to remember everything,but I'm gradually getting used to it.I don't find French customs so strange any more.
       Dear Laura,I'll write again soon and tell you more about my life in France.Hope you are having a good school year.
    Yours,
    Lin Yue
