Now Dale Air, a leading firm of aroma (香气 ) consultants, has been approached by Barclays Bank to develop suitable artificial smells fo

29、r their banks. Researchers have suggested that surrounding customers with the “smell of money“ will encourage them to feel relaxed and optimistic and give them added confidence in the banks security and professionalism. But before a smell can be manufactured and introduced into banks air conditionin

30、g systems, it must be identified and chemically analyzed, and this has proved to be difficult. The problem is that banknotes and coins tend to pick up the smell of their surroundings. So cash that has been sitting in a cash register at a fishmongers (鱼贩 ) will smell of fish, and banknotes used to pa

31、y for meals in restaurants will tend to smell of food. It may be a challenge, but aroma experts have little doubt that the use of artificial smells can be an effective form of subconscious advertising. Lunn Poly, a British travel company, introduced the smell of coconuts (椰子 ) into its travel agenci

32、es and saw a big increase in spending by holiday makers. Many cafes now have electric dispensers (自动售货机 ) that release the smell of freshly roasted coffee near their entrances, subtly encouraging customers to come in and have a drink or snack. Even prestigious car maker Rolls Royce has been spraying

33、 the inside of its cars to enhance the smell of the leather seats. “The sense of smell is probably the most basic and primitive of all human senses,“ explains researcher Jim ORordan. “ There is a direct pathway from the olfactory (嗅觉的 ) organs in the nose to the brain. “ It is certainly true that mo

34、st people find certain smells incredibly strong, stringing memories and feelings in a way that few other stimulants (刺激物 ) can rival. It is a phenomenon marketing consultants have long recognized, but until recently have been unable to harness. “Weve made great progress but the technology of colour

35、production is still in its infancy,“ says ORiordan, “Who knows which place it will take us to. “ 31 Artificial smells have not been used in_. （ A） cafes （ B） banks （ C） travel agencies （ D） supermarkets 32 Researchers believe that introducing the “smell of money“ into banks will encourage people_. （

In daily life, people have come to expect endless situations about which they are required to make decisions one way or another. In the main, these a

39、re just irksome moments at work which demand some extra energy or brainpower, or during lunch breaks like choosing which type of coffee to order or indeed which coffee shop to go to. But sometimes selecting one option as opposed to another can have serious or lifelong repercussions. More complex dec

40、ision - making is then either avoided, postponed, or put into the hands of the army of professionals, lifestyle coaches, lawyers, advisors, and the like, waiting to lighten the emotional burden for a fee. But for a good many people in the world, in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, not a

41、right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, created by companies and advertisers wanting to sell their wares. The main impact of endless choice in peoples lives is anxiety. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not ex

42、actly simple. Easy access to a wide range of consumer goods induces a sense of powerlessness, even paralysis, in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away, or just buying an unsuitable item that is not really wanted in order to solve the problem and reduce the unease. Recent surv

43、eys in the United Kingdom have shown that a sizeable proportion of electrical goods bought per household are not really needed. The advertisers and the shareholders of the manufacturers are, nonetheless, satisfied. It is not just their availability that is the problem, but the speed with which new v

44、ersions of products come on the market. Advances in design and production mean that new items are almost ready by the time that goods hit the shelves. Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The classic example is computers

45、 which are almost obsolete once they are bought. At first, there were only one or two available from a limited number of manufacturers, but now there are many companies all with not only their own products but different versions of the same machine. This makes selection a problem. In the past years,

46、 people could just walk with ease into a shop and buy one thing, no choice, no anxiety. The plethora of choice is not limited to consumer items. With the greater mobility of people around the world, people have more choice about where they want to live and work a fairly recent phenomenon. In the pas

47、t, nations migrated across huge swathes of the earth in search of food, adventure, and more hospitable environments. Whole nations crossed continents and changed the face of history. So the mobility of people is nothing new. The creation of nation states and borders effectively slowed this process d
