11、那帮精明狡诈的人已经看到了你的到来。而他们正是那些让你变成购物狂的行家里手。周六下午 3 点。你想到超市买些你需要的物品。东西不多就是咖啡、 牛奶和鸡蛋。 你推了一辆手推车, 这是第一个错误。现在你根本感受不到购物篮内商品的重量,自然你可能会越买越多。手推车又大又深,其结果可以想见。. “进入超市,首先会经过的是美丽的鲜花和植物。再往前走,水果与蔬菜新鲜与自然的颜色映入眼帘。购物单上虽然没有蔬菜,但是这些红椒、青椒和黄椒看上去如此诱人。它们已被分类、清洗而且包装好了多么便利。而且还在特价优惠!或许你会拿一盒。不管怎么说,蔬菜对人有好处,对不对?接着你走到了面包房。哦,新鲜的面包卷香气扑鼻!比昨

13、放在超市的后面。在拿到牛奶、鸡蛋或者奶油之前,顾客必须经过一大堆好看但并不真正需要的商品。而这些非必需的“一时冲动购买的商品” 同时也是给超市带来丰厚利润的物品。6.名牌产品和熟食等加工食物的利润很高,通常会被摆在眼睛平视就看得到的地方,以此吸引人们的注意。7.留意结账柜台旁的杂志和糖果店家促使顾客接着冲动购物的最后一个时机。 留意超市提供其他服务的宣传单:贷款、保险、廉价旅行,甚至还有。8.用超市的信用卡支付多么便利。先购物,后付款。欢送再来哦。3.3.1 Explanation of important words in detail. 1. purchase n. something b

The Internet is part of everyday life for most young Americans: about three-quarters of 18-24 year-olds regularly go online. Many have now added Internet shopping to email and other activities. Sinc
59、e the mid-1990s, shopping online has grown from almost nothing to about five per cent of all US retailing. Sales have been increasing by 精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 17 页,共 30 页- 18 - over 25% per year, and last year goods and services worth $93 billion were bought online. In the b
60、eginning, many predicted the end of traditional shopping, but will this really happen? Are ordinary shops and even shopping malls about to close? Could millions of sales staff lose their jobs? Well, Internet shopping certainly has big advantages. Travel websites can quickly find the cheapest flights
61、, for example, and fares cost less than they do from a travel agent. In fact, most Internet prices are lower than shop prices. It can also be very convenient to do your shopping from home, day or night. (Internet sales always rise rapidly at Christmas because many people dont like the crowded shops
62、and the cold weather.) However, there are problems. Orders can take two weeks or more to arrive and have to be returned if something is wrong. Many people worry about the security of their credit card details. Some also miss the fun of shopping with friends. Online retailing has brought different le
63、vels of success to different types of business. Amazon is a very successful online retailer, but many others have failed. They spent too much, sold too little, had delivery problems and finally went bankrupt. But, perhaps surprisingly, some traditional retailers have also done well. The Internet can
64、 offer a bigger market to small, specialist shops, for example. Bill Ross, owner of a farm shop, says, “Using the net is like opening shops all over Britain.”Big traditional retailers have introduced their customers to multichannel shopping even more successfully. Online orders are simply supplied f
65、rom their stores or warehouses. Walmart, the world s largest supermarket chain also cleverly mixes offline and online channels. For example, you can leave a film at a Walmart store and then collect digital images from the companys website.Multichannel shopping s biggest winner is often the customer.
66、 Look at American car buyers: 75% now research everything from cost to colour on the Internet before they go to the car dealer with the best offer. It now seems clear that Internet shopping is not going to replace traditional retailing. Rather, it is making traditional retailing more flexible, effic

68、售总额。起初,很多人都预测传统购物行将结束,然而果真如此吗?普通商店以及大型购物中心也会关门大吉吗?会有成千上万的销售人员因此失业吗?网上购物当然有它的巨大优势。比方说,旅游网站上可以迅速地找到最廉价的航班,而且机票价格低于旅行社的报价。事实上,大多数网上价格都低于实体店的价格。不分白天还是晚上,足不出户即可购物, 十分便利。 圣诞节期间网上销售总是火爆异常,因为很多人都不喜欢拥挤的商店和室外寒冷的天气。然而,网上购物也不是尽善尽美。订购的物品可能要花两个多星期才能送到,如果物品有瑕疵还要退货。不少人担忧信用卡信息泄露。还有人思念和朋友一起购物时的乐趣。对于各行各业而言,网上零售所带来的成功不
69、尽相同。亚马逊网站就是一家非常成功的网上零销商,但是也有不少网商倒闭歇业。这些网商支出多,销售量少,商品递送问题不断,最后只能走向破产。然而,或许令人意想不到的是,一些传统的零销商却生意红火。网络为那些小规模的特种商品商店提供了更为广阔的市场,比方,一家农产品商店的店主比尔罗斯说道, “利用网络,就如同在全英国都开设分店一样。 ”而大型传统零销商在把顾客引入“多渠道购物”方面甚至更为成功。网上订购的商品可以由他们的商铺或货仓直接供给。沃尔玛这个全世界最大的超市销售链也把网下和网上购物巧妙地结合起来。例如,你可以把一卷胶卷交给沃尔玛的某家超市,然后从该公司的网站上接收胶卷的数码照片。多渠道购物的
70、最大赢家通常是顾客。 以美国汽车消费者为例: 75%的人会事先上网查阅,对汽车从价格到颜色一一做足功课,然后再到汽车经销商那里拿到最低报价。现在看来,很明显网上购物不会取代传统零售。相反,它只精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 19 页,共 30 页- 20 - 会让传统零售更加灵活、高效、更具竞争性。这对于消费者而言绝对是个好消息。3.

99、biggest fat 胖 / fatter / fattest 4. 以一个辅音字母加y 结尾的双音节形容词,先变y 为 i,再加-er/-est easy 容易 / easier / easiest ugly 丑 / uglier / ugliest 5. 少数双音节形容词,既可用-er/-est,也可用 more/most形式simple 简单 / simpler / simplest (more simple / most simple) stupid 愚蠢 / stupider / stupidest (more stupid / most stupid) 6. 其他双音节 /三音节
100、 /多音节形容词,用more/most形式careful 小心 / more careful / most careful expensive 昂贵 / more expensive / most expensive 7. 形容词 good / bad / far用不规则形式good 好 / better / best bad 坏 / worse / worst far 远 / farther / farthest 二、形容词的比较结构把上述三种语法形式用来对人或物进行比较,就形成比较结构。形容词比较结构有三种基本模式:1.

102、趣的一本。注意上述模式的互换使用问题。例如“not so+形容词 +as” (= not as+形容词 +as) 一般来说与“ less+形容词+than”含义相同:Jack is not so tall as Jill. 杰克没有吉尔高。 Jack is less tall than Jill. 杰克没有吉尔高。相比之下,“less+形容词 +than”不如“ not so+形容词 +as”自然。为此,有人认为下面这些句子是“不好”的句子:1. This exercise is less good than your last one. 2. John is less short than
103、his brother. 3. A tram is less quick than a bus. 建议改用“ not so +形容词 +as”表示:1a This exercise is not so good as your last one. 这个练习没有你上个练习好。2a John is not so short as his brother. 约翰没有他弟弟矮。3a A tram is not so quick as a bus. 电车没有公共汽车快。4a He is not so stupid as I thought he was. 他没有我想象的那么笨。如果一定要用“形容词比较级
104、形式+than” ,也可以采用“原句形容词的反义词的比较级形式+than”表示,如前述四例可以改为:1b This exercise is worse than your last one. 这个练习比你上个练习差。2b John is taller than his brother. 约翰比他弟弟高。3b A tram is slower than a bus. 电车比公共汽车慢。4b He is cleverer than I thought he was. 他比我想象的聪明。1.Directions:Read the report from a high school magazine
