Fred:   Really? So they 小题2: shopping with those heavy baskets?
Sylvan: (nods) I’ve got a huge crowd of customers every day, b 小题3:  none of them wants to use the cart.
Fred:   I don’t understand. We invented the cart so that people don’t need to carry a basket around the shop.

Sylvan: We won’t. (He gets up and walks around the room. Suddenly, he stops.) Aha! I’ve got an idea.

Fred:   What is it?
Sylvan: I’ll hire(雇佣) some good-looking guys and girls to push the carts around and pretend they’re shopping.
Fred:   Oh! So the real shoppers will see these attractive people using the carts and think, “Hey, if it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for me!”
Sylvan: E 小题7: .
Fred:   Hey! Maybe you could get one of the girls to greet your customers and encourage them to use the cart.
Sylvan: Great idea!
