I fell in love with England because it was quaint （古雅）—all those little houses, looking terribly old-fashioned but nice, like dolls’ houses．I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved London．I’ve slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it’s an ugly town now． Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentlemen, fair play, and good manners．The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good manners—people shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing． I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places．You’re forced to live indoors．In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs．To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman．The cafes are not terribly nice． As a woman, I feel unsafe here．I spend a bomb on taxis because I will not take public transport after 10 p．m．I used to use it, but now I’m afraid． The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England.

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 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 pain killer 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 to sell it．” 1.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． 2.The underlined part “the colours turned the customers off”（in Par A．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 3.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． 4.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

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． 1.What can be inferred about the baggage boys?
