3．A bargain is something offered at a low and advantageous price．A more recent definition is：a bargain is a dirty trick to force money out of the pockets of silly and innocent people．
    The cost of producing a new---for example---toothpaste would make 80p the proper price for it，so we will market it at£1.20．It is not a bad toothpaste，and as people like to try new things it will sell well to start with； but the attraction of novelty soon fades，so sales will fall．When that happens we will reduce the price to£1.15．And we will turn it into a bargain by printing 5p OFF all over it．
    Sometimes it is not 5p OFF but 1p OFF．What breathtaking rudeness to advertise 1p OFF your soap or washing powder or whatever!Even the poorest old-age pensioner ought to regard this as an insult（侮辱），but he doesn't．A bargain must not be missed．People say one has to have washing powder （or whatever） and one might as well buy it a penny cheaper．
The real danger starts when unnecessary things become‘bargains'．Many people just cannot resist bargains．Provided they think they are getting a bargain they will buy clothes they will never wear or furniture they have no space for．Once I heard of a man who bought an electric saw（电锯） as a bargain and cut off two of his fingers the next day．But he had no regrets：the saw had been truly cheap．
    Quite a few people actually believe that they make money on such bargains．A lady once told me："I've had a lucky day today．I bought a dress for£120，reduced from£400； and I bought a beautiful Persian carpet for£600，reduced from£900．"It will never occur to her that she has actually wasted£720．She feels as though she had made£580．She also feels，I am sure，that if she had more time for shopping，she could make a living out of it．
    Some people buy in large quantities because it is cheaper．Once a couple bought enough sugar for their lifetime and the lifetime of their children and grandchildren．They thought it a bargain not to be missed．When the sugar arrived they didn't know where to store it-until they realized that their toilet was a very spacious one．So that was where they piled up their sugar．Not only did their guests feel rather strange whenever they were offered sugar to put into their coffee，but the toilet became extremely sticky．
    To offer bargains is a commercial trick to make the poor poorer．When greedy fools fall for this trick，it serves them right．

7．One day when I was 12，my mother gave me an order：I was to walk to the public library，and borrow at least one book for the summer．This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem-inability to read．
In the library，I found my way into the"Children's Room．"I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random．The cover of a book caught my eye．It presented a picture of a beagle．I had recently had a beagle，the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child．He was my secret sharer，but one morning，he was gone，given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him．I never forgot my beagle．
There on the book's cover was a beagle which looked like my dog．I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover．My eyes ran across the title，Amos，the Beagle with a Plan．Unknowingly，I had read the title．Without opening the book，I borrowed it from the library for the summer．
Under the shade of a bush，I started to read about Amos．I read very，very slowly with difficulty．Though pages were turned slowly，I got the main idea of the story about a dog who，like mine，had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home．That dog was my dog，and I was the little boy in the book．At the end of the story，my mind continued the final scene of reunion，on and on，until my own lost dog and I were，in my mind，running together．
My mother's call returned me to the real world．I suddenly realized something：I had read a book，and I had loved reading that book．Everyone knew I could not read．But I had read it．Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them．
I never told my mother about my amazing experience that summer，but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year．And years later，she was proud that her son had read thousands of books，was awarded a PhD in literature，and authored his own books，articles，poetry and fiction．The power of the words has held．

17．Can youmake out（理解）what she's trying to say？

4．A truck went by andblew（吹响） its horn at her．

7．Taste is such a subjective matter that we don't usually conduct preference tests for food．The most you can say about anyone's preference，is that it's one person's opinion．But because the two big cola companies-Coca-Cola and Pepsi Cola are marketed so aggressively，we have wondered how big a role taste preference actually plays in brand loyalty．We set up a taste test that challenged people who identified themselves as either Coca-Cola Classic or Pepsi fans：find your brand in a blind tasting．
We invited staff volunteers who had a strong liking for either Coca-Cola Classic or Pepsi，Diet （低糖的） Coke，or Diet Pepsi．These were people who thought they'd have no trouble telling their brand from the other brand．
We eventually located 19regular cola drinkers and 27diet cola drinkers．Then we fed them four unidentified samples of cola one at a time，regular colas for the one group，diet versions for the other．We asked them to tell us whether each sample was Coke or Pepsi，then we analyzed the records statistically to compare the participants'choices with what mere guess-work could have accomplished．
Getting all four samples right was a tough test，but not too tough，we thought，for people who believed they could recognize their brand．In the end，only 7out of 19regular cola drinkers correctly identified their brand of choice in all four trials．The diet-cola drinkers did a little worse-only 7of 27identified all four samples correctly．
While both groups did better than chance would predict，nearly half the participants in each group made the wrong choice two or more times．Two people got all four samples wrong．Overall，half of the participants did about as well on the last round of tasting as on the first，so tiredness，or taste burnout，was not a factor．Our preference test results suggest that only a few Pepsi participants and Coke fans may really be able to tell their favorite brand by taste and price．

A．the purpose of taste tests is to promote the sale of colas
B．the improvement of quality is the chief concern of the two cola companies
