7．A bargain is something offered at a low and advantageous price．A more recent definition（定义）is：a bargain is a dirty trick to force money out of the pockets of silly and innocent（涉世不深的）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 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（商业的）trick to make the poor poorer．When greedy（贪婪的）fools fall for this trick，it serves them right．

30．How does the author feel about 1p OFF a product？B
A．It's a gift for poor people．
B．It's an offense to shoppers．
C．It's a bargain worth trying．
D．It's a real reduction in price．
31．What would be the best title for the passage？D
A．Why do we bargain？
B．Be careful when bargaining．
C．Bargains help people make a living．
D．Bargains play tricks on people．

6．Food festivals around the world
Stilton Cheese Rolling
May Day is a traditional day for celebrations，but the 2，000English villagers of Stilton must be the only people in the world who include checsc rolling in their annual plans．Teams of four，dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes，roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course．On the way，they must not kick or throw their cheese，or go into their competitors'lane．Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos （disappointingly，but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones）．All the competitors arc served with beer or port wine，the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese．
Fiery Foods Festival-The Hottest Festival on Earth
Every year more than 10，000people head for the city of Albuquerque，New Mexico．They come from as far away as Australia，the Caribbean and China，but they all share a common addiction-food that is not just spicy，but hot enough to make your mouth burn，your head spin and your eyes water．Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three days every March．You might like to try a chocolate-covered habanero pepper-officially the hottest pepper in the world-or any one of the thousands of products that are on show．But one thing's for sure-if you don't like the feeling of a burning tongue，this festival isn't for you!
La Tomatina-The World's Biggest Food Fight
On the last Wednesday of every August，the Spanish town of Bunol hosts Ea Tomatina-the world's largest food fight．A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week's events．The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes-official fight-starters get things going by casting tomatoes at the crowd．
