10.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.For 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 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 decisions 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.

5.Master painter Zhang Daqian (1899-1983)was well known for having a large number of friends and students.Among them,painter Li Qiujun was special.
    They got to know each other through Li's elder brother,who was one of Zhang's best friends.
    They admired each other's artistic talent and became confidants,which resulted in a romantic relationship.
    In 1948,Zhang produced Spring Clouds Amid Autumn Landscape,a mountain-and-water ink painting featuring gongbi (meticulous brushwork),as a gift for Li's 50th birthday.
    A year later,Zhang permanently departed from the mainland,and traveled and exhibited around the world before settling down in Taipei in 1976.
    After leaving the mainland,he often said that he missed Li,who died in Shanghai in 1973.
    Spring Clouds Amid Autumn Landscape will be auctioned in Hong Kong on Oct 4.
    The painting not only marks a friendship between the two painters,but it deserves special attention because it shows Zhang at the top of his game as he sought to master the mountain-and-water style,according to C.K.Cheung,head of Sotheby's Chinese painting department.
    Sotheby's will auction the work at its major autumn sale,which runs from Oct 1to 5.
    Cheung says the painting's composition and Zhang's attention to details reflect his incorporation of traditional touches,especially from Song Dynasty (960-1279)paintings,while also developing his own style.

21.The underlined word"confidants"in paragraph 3 probably meansC.
A.enemies        B.colleges         C.friends        D.painters
22.How old was Li Qiujun when she died?B
A.50             B.75             C.78            D.84
23.According to the passage,which of the following is NOT true?D
A.Spring Clouds Amid Autumn Landscape was originally a gift for Li's 50th birthday.
B.Zhang Daqian permanently departed from the mainland in 1949.
C.Sotheby's will auction Spring Clouds Amid Autumn Landscape in Hong Kong.
D.Li Qiujun's elder brother was also one of ZhangDaqian's students.
20.Many Beijing residents go to great lengths to avoid breathing the city's smoggy air,especially when it reaches critical pollution levels,but one local businessman decided that canning and selling this poor quality air as a souvenir would be a great idea.Believe it or not,he was right.
After seeing a number of companies achieve commercial success by canning fresh air from countries like France,Canada or Australia and selling it in China,Dominic Johnson-Hill,a British-born citizen of Beijing and owner of the Plastered 8(创可贴8)souvenir shop,decided to turn the idea on its head and sell canned Beijing air throughout China and abroad.
"I'd seen people going crazy to buy canned air from Canada and Australia,so I thought it was time to push business the other way,"the businessman said."They're perfect gifts!What else are you going to take home when you go home from Beijing?A roast duck?A Plastered T-shirt?These cans are light,easily carried home.You can just imagine someone's face when they unwrap it for Christmas."
The few mouth-fulls of Beijing air come in standard tin cans featuring a couple of famous city landmarks as well as a bitter description of the contents:"a unique mix of nitrogen(氮气),oxygen and probably some unknown stuff".The ironic(讽刺的) souvenirs cost 28 RMB(US$4)and are available at the Plastered 8 shop,as well as in its online shop.But if you're actually considering buying some,you'd better ask the shop in advance,as they are always flying off the shelves.Johnson-Hill said that his shop is selling hundreds of Beijing air cans every day.
Personally,the well-sold can probably is an awakening for the public to be concerned about the living conditions.Yet one thing that's not particularly clear is whether the air is really collected from Beijing,because the cans are labeled as"Made in Shenzhen".There's a big chance that it is just a kind of"Plastered 8 humor",as they also list"Choking Risk"and"May have unidentified objects inside"as warnings.
Anyway,it is probably a unique way to arouse public awareness of protecting the environment.

32.What are many people in Beijing likely to do with the smoggy air?D
A.Try to get used to it.
B.Can it as a souvenir.
C.Sell it all over the world.
D.Try their best to avoid.
33.How may one feel when receiving canned Beijing air for Christmas?B
A.Satisfied.
B.Surprised.
C.Frightened.
D.Refreshed.
34.Which of the following can replace the underlined word"stuff"in paragraph 4?B
A.liquids
B.objects
C.minerals
D.risks
35.What can we infer from the passage?C
A.There are unidentified objects in the canned Beijing air.
B.The Plastered 8 souvenir shop is famous for its humuor.
C.The writer may expect us to care more about the environment.
D.Dominic Johnson-Hill is a British man who lives in Beijing.
