Shopping is not as simple as you may think! Much has to be done for the producers before putting the products on the shelf.

Color, for example, changes a lot according to what the producers are trying to sell. Health foods are packed in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colors.

When some kind of medicine was brought out recently, researchers found that the color of the package(包装) caused the shoppers to lose interest because they made the product look ineffective(无效的). At last, it came on the market in dark blue and white—blue because we think of it as safe, and white as calm.

The size of a package can also attract(吸引) a shopper, although quite often a bottle doesn’t hold as much as it seems to.

It is said that the better-known companies spend about 40 percent of the cost of the product itself on packaging!

The most successful producers know that it’s not enough to have a good product. The head of Pears Soap, who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to sell their goods, came to the conclusion: “Any fool can make soap, but it takes a talent to sell it.”

58. Health foods are usually packed in colors Except ________.

A. green B. black C. yellow D. brown

59. Why did the shoppers lose interest in the medicine?

A. Because of the size of the product. B. Because of the color of the product.

C. Because of the color of the package. D. Because of the cost of the product.

60. If a new product costs $ 60, how much money may be spent on packaging?

A. $ 24 B. $ 36 C. $ 40 D. $ 60

61. The passage is mainly about ___________on shopping.

Strong earthquakes hit the east of Japan in the afternoon of March 11, causing several meter-high tsunami(海啸), which killed more than 10,000 people in areas along the coast. Several nuclear plants(核电站) at the coast were broken by the earthquake and tsunami. People living near the plants have been asked to move away. People living within 30 kilometers of the first plant are asked to stay indoors and close all windows.

The breaking of the nuclear plants is causing electricity shortages(电力短缺) in Eastern Japan. As a result, electricity is cut off for 3-hour periods in the area of Tokyo and some other areas during daytime. In order to save electricity, some shops, restaurants and tourist places in the areas are closed for some time every day. But all major airports and train lines are still open and operating.

For the above reasons, tourists are advised not to visit the eastern areas in the near future. Visits to Western Japan are not affected by the event. People who plan to travel over the coming weeks and months are advised to pay attention to the situation for a few more days before making decisions.

62. This passage may probably be written by a _____.

A. scientist B. traveler C. story writer D. news reporter

63. People living near the plants were asked to move away because _____.
