     Shopping is not as simple as you may think! Much has to be done for the producers before putting the
products on the shelf.
     Color, for example, changes a lot according to what the producers are trying to sell. Health foods are
packed in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colors.
     When some kind of medicine was brought out recently, researchers found that the color of the package
(包装) caused the shoppers to lose interest because they made the product look ineffective (无效的). At last,
it came on the market in dark blue and white-blue because we think of it as safe, and white as calm.
     The size of a package can also attract (吸引) a shopper, although quite often a bottle doesn't hold as much
as it appears to.
     It is said that the better-known companies spend about 40 percent of the cost of the product itself on
packaging!
     The most successful producers know that it's not enough to have a good product. The head of Pears
Soap, who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to sell their goods, came to the conclusion: "Any fool can
make soap, but it takes a talent to sell it."
1. Health foods are usually packed in colors Except ________.
A. green
B. black
C. yellow
D. brown
2. Why did the shoppers lose interest in the medicine?
A. Because of the size of the product.
B. Because of the color of the product.
C. Because of the color of the package.
D. Because of the cost of the product.
3. If a new product costs $ 60, how much money may be spent on packaging?
A. $ 24
B. $ 36
C. $ 40
D. $ 60
4. Which of the following is the key to the success in product sales?
A. The way to sell goods.
B. A good product.
C. The one who makes a product.
D. A nice color.
5. The passage is mainly about _________ on shopping.
A. advantages of products
B. the importance of packaging

     Venice is an attractive city in Italy. Tourists throughout the world love traveling to Venice. But sometimes
you'll have such strange experiences. One moment you walk across the Rialto Bridge, and there's nothing
special. Unfortunately, when you come back to the bridge an hour later, it's underwater and everyone's wearing
rain boots.   
     That's just the way it has always been, which may be considered seriously by Italian government. Before
the sea comes to Venice, the government has decided to build the MOSE gates. Actually (实际上), there were
many kinds of gates that were built to stop the floods, but all the gates were just built on the ground. Besides,
the flooding was becoming worse. Industrial (工业的) factories built nearby on the mainland also made the
condition get worse, causing the city to sink about 0.75 feet in the 20th century.
     So the Italian government asked some of Italy's biggest construction and engineering companies to build
the MOSE project, which was planned to be built under the sea water to stop floods. Now the government
are using 3 000 people and expect to spend nearly five billion euros (欧元) on it. The MOSE gates are being
built at the inlets (海湾). Each MOSE gate is 197 feet long, 28.5 to 37 feel tall, and weight up to 22 tons. It's
nearly the size of a 20-story building. Before the gates are in use, under the sea full of water. When the flood
comes, the water in the gates will be poured out, and then the gates will be filled with air. So the gates can go
up with the sea water. Once they're in the right place, they will stop the sea water pouring into Venice. These
gates will be able to deal with floods up to 10 feet, and as long as the sea level (平面) rises no more than two
feet in the next 100 years, the MOSE will work as expected.
      The MOSE project is now two-thirds done. The head engineer, Giovanni Cecconi, said, "This is a war.
During the war, it's not important that you win. It's important that you're alive. We've alive." Anyway, this
project is saving Venice from falling.
1. The underlined word "construction" in the passage means "_______" in Chinese.
A. 建筑
B. 农业
C. 交通
2. Before building the MOSE gates, the Italian government _______ to stop the floods.
A. never built gates on the ground
B. built many kinds of gates on the ground
C. built some gates which were under the ground
3. When the flood comes, _______ can describe the working steps of the MOSE gates.
4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The Italian government ate using 3000 people and expect to spend nearly five billion dollars on the MOSE.
B. The MOSE project is half done now.
C. Each MOSE gate is 197 feet long, 28.5 to 37 feet tall, and weighs up to 22 tons.
5. The best title for this passage should be _______.
A. The Journey to Venice
B. The MOSE Project in Venice
C. Several Kinds of Floods in Venice
