There are thousands of products of all colors and shapes in a supermarket, making you believe that they are worth a try. How Packaging is the silent but persuading salesman.
They are on the shelves, and each bottle, can, box, and jar has been carefully designed and measured to speak to the inner self of the consumer(消费者), so that he is buying not only a product but also his belief in life. Scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found that the look of the package has a great effect on the “quality” of the product and on how well it sells, because “Consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package. Many products are packages and many packages are products,” as Louis Cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers' feeling for packaging, noticed.
Colors are one of the best tools in packaging(包装). Studies of eye movements have shown that colors draw human attention quickly. Take V8 for example. For many years, the bright color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that it is very good for your body. And the word “green” today can keep food prices going up.
Shapes are another attraction. Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness, because these shapes are pleasing to both eye and the heart. That's why the round yellow M signs of McDonald's are inviting to both young and old.
This new consumer response to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers that people buy to satisfy both body and soul.
9. According to the passage, _____ seems to be able to persuade a consumer to buy the product.
A. the belief in the product
B. the quality of the product
C. the salesman in the supermarket
D. the pleasing color of the package
10. What does the underlined sentence in Para 2 mean
A. Many good products are of bad package.
B. Package has great influence on the product.
C. Product and Package are of the same thing.
D. Package is more important than the product itself.
11. If a package or a product is round in shape, it can ________.
A. make people feel relaxed
B. bring excitement to the consumers
C. produce a happy and peaceful feeling
D. catch the eye movement of the consumers
12. What is the best title of the passage
A. Package and Product. B. Consumer Response.
C. Colors and Shapes. D. The Inner Self of the Consumer.

Now and then we all get ill. Then we usually go to see a doctor. Doctors know a lot about what makes us ill. They may give us something to take. The medicine often makes us well again.
But sometimes the doctor’s medicine doesn’t work. A sick person does not get well. The pain will not go away. This happened to one man. He was in hospital, but he was not getting well. Then he found a new “doctor” inside himself. This “doctor” was his own sense of humor(幽默感). He saw funny films. He read funny books. And something wonderful happened. Laughing took away his pain. Then he was able to sleep and rest. His own happy feeling helped him to fell well again. He said laughing was his best “medicine”. His doctor thought so, too.
Another man was ill, and he had a terrible pain in his back. The doctors could not stop it from hurting. So the man began to “Picture” his pain. In his head he “drew” a picture of a dog. He imagined it as a real dog. And he made friends with the dog. And his pain went away!
These stories may surprise you. But more and more people are getting well in this way. So visit the “doctor” inside your own head and you can stay happy and well.
