My summer travel started terribly. I was at the Shanghai Railway Station buy a ticket to Hang Zhou. I was going to visit a friend here and after that I would go to Xiamen for long holiday. I bought my ticket but turned around to pick up my bag from the floor and then I realized that someone has stolen it. Unluckily, I had all my money in my pocket, but the only clothes I had was those I had on. It was very strange to travel without any luggages.

How to Be Confident
We are all human and have weaknesses. Even if your physical appearance or social skills aren’t what you wish they were, that doesn’t have to stop you from being confident. 1._____
*Make a list of special talents you have, or things you do that are good—morally（道德上） or otherwise. It doesn’t have to be a specific skill；it can be an approach or an attitude that you hold through life. 2.____ Are you very patient with people? Do you always see the humorous side of things? Are you always there for your friends?
*3._____ When you feel strongly about something, speak loudly and clearly and make eye contact with people. People will judge you all the time, and usually they’ll misjudge you anyway, so why bother trying to live up to their opinions at all?
*Take care of yourself. Eat a healthy diet and get enough exercise. Don’t abuse your body, don’t overload it, and don’t deny it any of the things it needs. At the same time, don’t obsess(沉迷). 4.____ Those things are only band-aids(权宜之计） and make-up. Confidence comes from within. In order to be confident, you must value yourself and understand that your well-being is important.
*Improve your posture. 5._____ Don’t drop your shoulders. Make sure that your back is straight, your shoulders are square, and your chest sticks out slightly (but stay loose, otherwise you’ll appear stubborn （固执的）and nervous). Good posture also helps with deep breathing, which helps with feeling calm and relaxed.
A. Here’s how to believe in yourself.
B. But smiling at yourself in the mirror helps you to love yourself, thus making you a bit more confident.
C. Buying all the moisturizers (润肤霜) and creams will not bring you closer to who you want to be.
D. It is surprising how powerful the simple step of taking action can be.
E. Do you always stay calm, cool and collected, even in hurried situations?
F. Having good posture can actually make you feel more confident.
G. Know that you have important things to say and do.
What is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop? The products displayed (展示) at the entrance? Or the soft background music?
But have you ever notice the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is likely to be no. But while a shop’s scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds, it is certainly there. And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase.
A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance, via scent machines. A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air. One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores, customers’ intention to purchase increased by 80 percent.
When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs, scent is just as important to a brand’s success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sales. That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be.
Some years ago, the focus for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants’ disproving attitude and don’t-touch-what-you-can’t-afford displays. Now the rise of electronic commerce (e-commerce电子商务) has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while e-shops can use sights and sounds, only bricks-and-mortar stores (实体店) can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a destination. And scent is just one way to achieve this.
Now a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department, and coconut (椰子) scent in the swimsuit section. A department store has even opened a new lab, inviting customers on a journey into the store’s windows to smell books, pots and drawers, in search of their perfect scent.
1. E-shops are mentioned in the passage to _______ .
A. introduce the rise of e-commerce
B. urge shop assistants to change their attitude
C. push stores to use sights and sounds
D. show the advantages of brick-and-mortar stores
2. The underlined word “destination” in Paragraph 5 means _______ .
A. a platform that exhibits goods
B. a spot where travelers like to stay
C. a place where customers love to go
D. a target that a store expects to meet
3.The main purpose of the passage is to ______ .
A. compare and evaluate B. inform and explain
C. examine and assess D. argue and discuss
4. According to the passage, what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand store?
A. Unique scents. B. Friendly assistant.
C. Soft background music D. attractive window display.
