The 26-year-old entrepreneur was on vacation in England
11、four years ago and had to look up at the London Eye Ferries wheel to see it. Hanging above him was a capsule(航天舱) full of diners who were served a new course each time a revolution was made. “I thought that was the coolest thing ever”, he says. Baras, who founded PopUpR in 2012 to promote the idea o
12、f pop-up restaurants in the USA, has been studying them ever since.Pop-ups, which have been around since at least the early 2000s, are open anywhere from a few hours to several months, but their defining feature is that they are temporary. They may be only a tiny part of the $709 billion U.S. restau
13、rant industry, but pop-ups have gotten a boost in recent years as a lower-cost, lower-risk way for entrepreneurs to test the waters. Some restaurant owners see them as a way to renew interest in existing locations. And some struggling cities, like Oakland, California, have turned to them to help rev
14、italize local economies impacted by the recession(衰退).The concept has been especially popular with up-and-coming chefs who want to test-drive as a menu concept without investing a fortune in a permanent space. “Your cooks and chefs are really talented, but theyre stuck in the back of somebody elses

However, several trucks pulled over and workers silently unloaded camera equipment and cardboard boxes, and then carried them inside the Morgenson f
21、amily home.What took place over the next eight weeks was inspired by a Hollywood movie called The Joneses about a family of marketers who move into a local neighborhood to sell their products secretly to their neighbors. The idea was to test the power of word-of-mouth marketing. By filming a rear fa

23、ing shocking. The most powerful hidden persuader of all isnt in your TV or on the shelves of your supermarket. Its a far more important influence thats around you almost every waking moment: your very own friends and neighbors. There is nothing quite so persuasive as observing someone we respect or
24、admire using a brand or product.Our analysis also found that the brands the Morgensons used went faster. About one third of the Morgensons friends began promoting these same brands to their friends. We also found that the brands their friends were most likely to buy at the Morgensons suggestion were
25、 the bigger and better-known ones. This proved my thoughts that traditional marketing and secret marketing work well together. The most persuasive advertising strategies are strengthened by word-of-mouth advertising.Whenever I meet with company managers, I tell them that the people who hold the real
26、 marketing power are mouse-clicking consumers and their wide circles of real-life friends. In other words, the people who hold the real power are us.1、The author and his team went to the Morgenson family home to .Avisit the Morgensons Bsell products to themCshoot a Hollywood movie Dcarry out marketi

Even old parents and adult children who live separately can have difficulties. Here the generation gap becomes most visible as th
29、e needs and interests of the middle-aged and old diverge. Some middle-aged children are so annoyed by the demands of their parents that they make such comments as “Why dont the old fools die?”Although such ugly comments exist, a survey conducted by the American Association of Retired Persons reflect
30、s a positive attitude by American population towards the old. That survey showed that 69% adult children have weekly contact with their mothers and 20% have daily contact with their mothers. Other surveys have shown that 40% of adults have face-to face contact with their parents once a week.The 2014
31、 National Survey of Family and Household (NSFH) showed that 78% of adults view their relationship with their mother and father as excellent. Only 0.03% of those surveyed viewed that relationship as “bad”. The remainders were ambivalent in their perception of their parents. This finding is confirmed
32、by much older studies of the same phenomenon also conducted by the National Survey of Families and Households.Of those surveyed, 66% contacted their parents once a week or more and only 10% did not contact their parents at all. In part, this is a product of the distance at which adult children live
33、from their parents. The 2014 survey showed that 67% of adult children live within 100 miles of their parents and that 38% live within ten miles of their parents. However, a full 20% of those surveyed live 1,000 miles or more away from their parents.1、According to the passage, the relationship betwee

And that one line from Lady Gagas “Bad Romance” still makes you want to scream. These are commonly known as earworm songsthose sticky tunes that continue to play in your head. A rec
37、ent study finds that more than 90% of adults report hearing earworm songs on a weekly basis.Fortunately, most people report earworm songs as pleasant. But others find them annoying or even maddening. “Some people are troubled by them to the point that it disturbs life,” says Elizabeth Hellmuth Margu
38、lis, a professor at the University of Arkansas who has studied earworm songs.Margulis says earworm songs tend to have some predictable characteristics. For one thing, they tend to small parts of a songnot the whole track. And “the songs youve heard recently also have the most possibility to get stuc
39、k in your memory,” she says.But sometimes something strange and unpredictable can also start a track paying in your head. “Once I was at the doctors office and saw a poster of a man who I thought looked like Gastona character from Beauty and the Beast,” Margulis recalls. A couple minutes passed, and
40、 she realized she couldnt get “Be Our Guest”, the song in the movie, out of her head, even though she hadnt thought of the tune in years. In that instance, she was able to identify her earworms trigger: the Gaston-looking man in the poster. “But the connections can be really unclear,” she says.Margu
41、lis points out that, in all of human history, recorded music is a very new phenomenon. She says some have inferred that earworm songs are also newthe unintended consequence of being able to hear the same song played everywhere in the same way over and over again. So far, the convincing explanation f
42、or why human beings experience earworm songs remains a mystery. But there are some well-established ways to cast off the earworm songs.“Finding a mentally demanding task and putting your mind on it usually shifts attention away from internal music. People tend to get earworms when performing tasks t
