25、ies to get your business. Many product companies use specific colors to cause positive emotions and compete for a sale. However, sight is not the only sensory (感官的) retail that companies use. Sounds and smells can also influence consumers purchasing decisions. Nobel Prize-winning research shows that
26、 our sense of smell has great power to cause an emotional response.

It found that the smell increased the number of consumers purchasing items and the amo
27、unt of their purchases. An earlier study using Nike shoes found that consumers desired the shoes more, and were willing to pay more, when the room had a mixed smell of flowers.

29、onsumers moods. One study found that when subjected to loud music, consumers will spend less time in a store. But interestingly, the researchers did not find a difference in sales or customers satisfaction. Another interesting finding from a recent study was that customers actually shop longer when
30、exposed to unfamiliar music. Just as department stores use different scents in certain departments, many use different music in some areas to appeal to varying consumers. Well, you could always leave the store and take a break, but the food court probably isnt your best choices as brands like Cinnab
31、on and Panera Bread also use scents as part of their customers experience.

37、购买量)可推知,气味实际上可以帮助商人获得更多的利润。故答案选C。 (3)细节理解题。根据第三段中的One study found that when subjected to loud music, consumers will spend less time in a storeAnother interesting finding from a recent study was that customers actually shop longer when exposed to unfamiliar music.(研究发现,当音乐音量过大时,消费者在商店里的时间会减少最近一项研究的另一

You hope to get lost in a story or be transported into someone elses life. At one type of library, you can do just that-even though theres not a single book.
41、At a Human Library, instead of books, you can “borrow” people. Individuals volunteer as human “books” and participants in the event can “read” the book-meaning they would have a one-on-one conversation with the volunteer and share in a dialogue about that individuals experience. “Books” are voluntee
42、rs from all walks of life who have experienced discrimination (歧视) based on race, religion, class, gender identity, age, lifestyle choices, disability and other aspects of their life For a certain amount of time, you can ask them questions and listen to their stories, which are as fascinating and as
43、 attractive as any you can find in a book. Many of the stories have to do with some kind of stereotype. You can speak with a refugee (难民), a soldier suffering from PTSD, a homeless person or a woman living with HIV. The Human Library encourages people to challenge their own long-held beliefs-to trul
44、y get to know, and learn from someone they might otherwise make a quick judgment about. According to its website, the Human Library is “a place where difficult questions are expected, appreciated and answered.” It provides the opportunity for the community to share and understand the experiences of
45、others in their community. The Human Library Organization came to be in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2000. Ronni Abergel, his brother Dany, and some colleagues hosted a four-day event during a major Northern European festival, hoping to raise awareness about violence among youth. After the success of this
46、 event, Abergel founded the Human Library Organization, which has been growing ever since. Though there are a few permanent human libraries, most arent places at all, but events. Though many do take place at physical libraries, you dont need a library cardanyone can come and be part of the experienc
47、e. There have been human library events all over the globe, in universities and in pubs, from Chicago to Tunis to Edinburgh to San Antonio. The stories these books tell range from fascinating to heartbreaking and everything in between. And thats the very point of the organization-to prove that no person can be summed up
