22、ride back to our house so they could play video games and jump on the trampoline. I have to admit, part of me wanted to say no.

23、 drive my daughter to school and I can see him on the way, making sure he is getting there safely. My husband thinks I am too overprotective.

24、My son always asks if he can ride his bike or walk over to the drugstore by himself. But crossing that street is just too dangerous.

Gone are those days when patriotism towards ones own language was a major obstacle to learn

33、ing foreign languages, a time when most nations were trying to throw their alien rulers out of their countries in their freedom struggles.Gone are those days when people were proud of their mother or father tongues and considered that their native languages alone will suffice the need to survive. La

34、nguage skills today have become as important as other business and career skills like IT, vocational or professional skills. Thus learning a foreign language today has become essential for an individual whether it is for careers, growing a business, or even to make an impression. All that one needs

35、to possess these days is a drive to learn a foreign language and there are all kinds of institutes and courses that teach various foreign languages like French, German, Spanish, and Japanese. Todays world economy has bridged the barriers of race, sex, color and religion and the world had become a sm

36、aller place. Todays businesses also demand language skills to expand and grow in other countries. Tens and hundreds of businesses world wide are expanding and growing their business by promoting them in countries other than their countries of origin. The tremendous growth of the Internet has further

37、 increased the demand for language skills. In Canada an official rule also says that all commercial establishments must have their websites created both in English and French, the official languages of the country. Language can also ease race and border barriers. You are more welcome in an alien nat

38、ion if you know the language of the people there and can converse in their tongue. People in these countries immediately respect you and think you care about their culture as much as they do because in any culture language is the key identity. （分数：6.00）(1).One of the reasons for not studying a forei

43、e learnerPASSAGE THREE You may have wondered why the supermarkets are all the same. It is not because the companies that them lack imagination. It is because they all aim at persuading people to buy things. In the supermarket, it takes a while for the mind to get into a shopping mode. This is why th

44、e area immediately inside the entrance is known as the “decompression zone ”. People need to slow down and look around, even if they are regulars. In sales terms this area is a bit of a loss, so it tends to be used more for promotion. Immediately inside the first thing shoppers may come to is the fr

45、esh fruit and vegetables section.For shoppers, this makes no sense. Fruit and Vegetables can be easily damaged, so they should be bought at the end, not the beginning, of a shopping trip. But what is at work here? It turns out that selecting good fresh food is a way to start shopping, and it makes p

Shoppers already know that everyday items, like milk, are invariably placed toward the back of a store to provide more opportunities to tempt customers. But supermarkets know shoppers know this, so they use other tricks, like pl

47、acing popular items halfway along a section so that people have to walk all along the aisle looking for them. The idea is to boost “dwell time”: the length of time people spend in a store. Traditionally retailers measure “footfall”, as the number of people entering a store is known, but those number

48、s say nothing about where people go and how long they spend there. But nowadays, a piece of technology can fill the gap: the mobile phone. Path Intelligence, a British company tracked peoples phones at Gunwharf Quays, a large retail centre in Portsmouth- not by monitoring calls, but by plotting the

49、positions of handsets as they transmit automatically to cellular networks. It found that when dwell time rose 1% sales rose 1.3%. Such techniques are increasingly popular because of a deepening understanding about how shoppers make choices. People tell market researchers that they make rational decisions about what to buy, considering things like price, selection or convenience. But subconscious forces, involving emotion and memories, are clearly
