8．In ancient Egypt，a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment．Modern businesses have been following his lead，with more tactics（策略）．
One tactic involves where to display the goods．Foe example，stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section．They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food（垃圾食品）later in their trip．In department stores，section is generally next to the women's cosmetics（化妆品） section：while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe，bored customers are likely to wander over cosmetics they might want to try later．
Besides，businesses seek to appeal to customers'senses．Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping，they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day．Music sells goods，too．Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played，sales of French wine went up．
When it comes to the selling of houses，businesses also use highly rewarding tactics．They find that customers make decision in the first few second upon walking in the door，and turn it into a business opportunity．A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly．When entering the house，the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows，and then the poll through an open stairway leading to the lower level．The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses．

2．In English the spelling of words does not always represent the sound．So people say/rait/but spell it right or write，or even rite．Combinations of letters may be pronounced in many ways．And some words just seem to have too many letters．
　 For Americans things are a little bit easier，thanks to the work of Noah Webster，a teacher who graduated from Yale University in 1778．As a young man，he had fought against the British in the American War of Independence，and he felt that written English in the newly independent United States should have a distinctive American look．
　 So he began his work on American English．His first book，The Elementary Spelling Book，suggested simplifying the spelling of English words．The book was extremely popular．By the 1850s，it was selling one million copies a year，making it one of the most popular school books ever．
　 Many of the suggestions were quickly adopted．Center instead of centre，program instead of programme，and flavor instead of flavour．Others，however，such as removing silent letters like s in island or the final e in examine，were not．
   Webster is best known for his American Dictionary of the English language，which first appeared in 1828．It introduced lots of new American words，with information about their pronunciation and use，and，of course，the new spelling．The British criticized the dictionary，but it quickly became a standard reference book in the States．Today，Webster's dictionary is still the number one dictionary for American students．
5．What is the text mainly about？D

B．British and American English．

7．What can we learn from the text？A
A．All the spelling of words does not represent the sound．
B．The Elementary Spelling Book was published in the 1850s．
C．Webster's suggestions were accepted completely．
D．Webster's dictionary is the best all over the world．

1．Decision-making under Stress
A new review based on a research shows that acute stress affects the way the brain considers the advantages and disadvantages，causing it to focus on pleasure and ignore the possible negative （负面的） consequences of a decision．
The research suggests that stress may change the way people make choices in predictable ways．
"Stress affects how people learn，"says Professor Mara Mather．"People learn better about positive than negative outcomes under stress．"
For example，two recent studies looked at how people learned to connect images（影像） with either rewards or punishments．In one experiment，some of the participants were first stressed by having to give a speech and do difficult math problems in front of an audience； in the other，some were stressed by having to keep their hands in ice water．In both cases，the stressed participants remembered the rewarded material more accurately and the punished material less accurately than those who hadn't gone through the stress．
This phenomenon is likely not surprising to anyone who has tried to resist eating cookies or smoking a cigarette while under stress-at those moments，only the pleasure associated with such activities comes to mind．But the findings further suggest that stress may bring about a double effect．Not only are rewarding experiences remembered better，but negative consequences are also easily recalled．
The research also found that stress appears to affect decision-making differently in men and women．While both men and women tend to focus on rewards and less on consequences under stress，their responses to risk turn out to be different．
Men who had been stressed by the cold-water task tended to take more risks in the experiment while women responded in the opposite way．In stressful situations in which risk-taking can pay off big，men may tend to do better，when caution weighs more，however，women will win．
This tendency to slow down and become more cautious when decisions are risky might also help explain why women are less likely to become addicted than men：they may more often avoid making the risky choices that eventually harden into addiction．
