I looked across at the others: shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall, offering different prices. With so many models to choose from, it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y, always trying to consider Z and possibly H at the same time. But when I had finished, I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with: first, soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop, it would be worth half what I paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model.
But something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these traps (陷阱) by making the right choice. In the end, I agreed to try the model I had chosen. The salesgirl seemed a kind girl. So I let her take out my chosen camera from the cupboard, show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers... and when she started to introduce the special features, I cut in to ask whether I needed to buy a carry-case and a memory card as well.
Why do we think that new choices still offer us anything new? Perhaps it is because they offer a chance to avoid facing the fact that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine.

the railway station, he saw a young man coming out with two bags in his hands. So he quickly opened the
door of the car and asked, "Where do you want to go, sir?"
"To Star Hotel," the young man answered. When the taxi driver heard this, he didn't feel happy any more.
He knew the young man could give him only three dollars because the hotel was not far from the railway
station. But suddenly, he had an idea. He took the passenger through many streets of the big city.
After a long time, the car arrived at the hotel at last."You should pay me fifteen dollars," the driver said to
the young man."What? Fifteen dollars! Do you think I'm a fool? Only last week, I took a taxi from the railway
station to this same hotel and I only gave the driver thirteen dollars. I know how much I have to pay for the
trip. I won't pay you one dollar more than I paid to the other taxi driver last week."
