【题目】Complete the following passage with the words in the box. Each can be used only once(将下列单词填入空格。每空格限填一词, 每词只能填一次)

A. extra B. shelf C. platform D. depends E. similar

Take a walk through a supermarket. You will find many brands(品牌)of chocolate and a dozen kinds of yoghurt. Which ones should you buy?

Well, the answer 1. You may have your favorites. If there is a brand you like more than other brands, you might be willing to pay 2 money for it. But when you don't like one brand over another, the right move is to shop for the best price. It means putting one item next to a(n) 3 item to see which gives you more for your money. This isn't always easy because of the way things are packaged. To find the best deal, check the unit price. Stores usually show the unit price on the 4. If they don't, you can calculate it yourself.

A. compare B. serious C. offer D. responsible E. choice

But unit price isn't the only thing to consider. Ask yourself how much you exactly need. Food waste is a 5 problem. According to a research, people throw away up to 40% of the food they buy. So, ask yourself: Do I actually need 8 pieces of bread? If not, the smaller bag is the better 6.

Also, brand names come at a cost. Sometimes, what you're paying for isn't just the product in the package. It's the brand name on the package. That's why many stores 7 their own products which are usually much cheaper. Last year, some supermarkets did a test. They invited people to try some brand-name cakes and 8 them with those made by the supermarkets. To their surprise, most people thought there was not any difference between them .

We might love to tell others about our unusual experiences—that time we climbed Mount Everest, tasted some rare food or ran into a famous person on the street. But new research suggeststhat if we s1 these unusual experiences with others, it may bring something uncomfortable.

"Unusual experiences are pleasant in the moment but can cause social t2 in the long run, "says psychological scientist Gus Cooney of Harvard University. "Some people mistakenly thought that having an unusual experience would make them the star. But they were wrong, because to be unusual is to be different from other people, and social interaction is based on something similar. "

"We all h3 to have experiences that are fine and rare, and when we get what we want, we are always eager to tell our friends. But I've noticed that conversations always seem to develop well on more ordinary topics." Cooney explains. " This made me wonder if unusual experiences were r4 as lovely as we had thought. "

To find out, Cooney and his colleagues had 68 people come to the lab in groups of f5. In each group, one person was asked to watch a popular video of a street magician performing for a crowd, while the other three people were asked to watch an ordinary animated video. After watching the videos, the people sat around a table and had a five-minute free conversation.

After the group discussion, the people who watched the magician's performance felt w6 than those who watched the animated video, because they felt they were not included during the discussion.

This finding suggests that we ought to give more thought in choosing what to talk about with others. If an experience turns you into someone who has n7 in common with others, then no matter how good it is, it won't make you comfortable in the long run.
