一

You need some bread and milk． But half an hour later ， you leave the supermarket with a trolley （手推

车） full of food．What games do supermarkets play to make us spend so much money？

The tricks （计谋）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（队伍）at the checkouts（付款

台）． 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．

Pollution inside homes and other buildings kills more than 4 million people each year. Many people die as a

result of breathing smoke or from cooking over wood-powered or coal-powered stoves.

One way to reduce the number of deaths is through cooking equipment powered by the sun. Crosby Menzies, a

solar power expert in a South African company, described his latest solar cooker called the "Sol-4"."It is four square

meters of mirrors, six to eight meters in length. It is quite a large cooker."

The "Sol-4" works by reflecting(反射) light from the sun off large mirrors. The mirrors direct (把……对准)

the light at a cooking pan. Then the light heats the pan with solar energy. Within two minutes, the pan is hot enough

to cook sausages and onions. In just four minutes, water can be boiled. That is as fast as cooking with natural gas or
