Recently, I read about a promotion from a home builder in San Diego where consumers (消费者) could buy a 4,000 square foot house for $1.6 million and get a smaller home bythe developer valued at $400 thousand for free. This sounds like a fantastic deal, but I am alwayswary ofany promotion labeled (给……加标签) with“buy one get one free”, and here is why.
Oftentimes, “buy one get one free” ends up being “buy two at the regularprice”. For example, I often see “buy one get one free” ads for orange juice at the supermarket, but the first box always costs over $5.00. At the same time, the juices not in the promotion are selling for $2.50 to $2.99 a box.
Another problem with “buy one get one free” is that oftentimes you do not need the second item. I only consume one gallon of milk every two weeks. If I were talked into buying a second gallon in a “buy one get one free” promotion, then the second gallon would go bad before I have time to consume it. That creates waste instead of savings.
In the case of theSan Diegodeveloper, so far they have received one offer on their expensive houses, but the
buyer does not want the cheaper house for free. Instead, he wants the value of the smaller home taken away from his purchase price. I think this guy is quite wise because he saw right through the marketing of “buy one get one free”.
Finally, it is up to you to see how much you need and how much you are willing to spend. Knowing the regular price of things also helps you in deciding whether a “buy one get one free” promotion is truly a great deal.
4. What does the underlined part “wary of” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. annoyed at
B. careful about
C. familiar with
D. puzzled about
5. Why does the author mention milk in Paragraph 3?
A. To show that there are many promotions of food.
B.To suggest that people think twice before they shop.
C. To prove that the second item isn’t always as good as the first one.
D. To show that people often buy more than they need in the promotion.
6. What does the house buyer want to do?
A. Buy the smaller house only.
B. Get the smaller house for free.
C. Buy the larger house for $1.2 million.
D. Buy both the larger and smaller houses for $2 million.
7. How does the author organize the text?(P: Paragraph)
A. B. C. D.
C
Since I was born and brought up in a rural town, I have a great interest in nature. Using the chance of studying abroad in my second year at college, I decided to go toCanadajust because I wanted to see the beautiful phenomena there So after I finished the study program, I went toYellowknifein theNorthwest Territories.
I clearly remember the sixth night inYellowknife. Suddenly my host mother came to my room around 8 p.m.
and told me to change clothes and go outside quickly carrying her camera.
The northern lights were flickering (闪烁) in the sky! I was shocked and just stood there with my mouth open.
I forgot to take pictures of the mysterious lights.
Since that night, whenever it was sunny, I went outside at night and looked at the sky. It was so cold that I lost all feeling in myhands and feet.
As I took pictures of the northern lights, I came to find a characteristic movement of the lights. They first appear in the north part of the sky and then they gradually come down to the south part of the sky. After that, suddenly, they come in the middle of the north and south only for a while, which is the time when the best northern lights can be seen. Since it is only a few seconds for the northern lights to come down to the middle of the sky, it is very hard to get good pictures.
The stronger the sun acts, the better and stronger the northern lights flicker in the sky. That’s because they come about from the collisions (碰撞) between atmospheric gases and the solar wind. Much more solar wind comes to the earth when the sun is active, whichleads to the best northern lights. And the color1 s of the northern lights depend on the height of the collisions and the kinds of gases.
8. Why did the host mother ask the author to go out?
A. She wanted to take a picture of him.
B. She wanted to take a walk with him.
C. She wanted to tell him something important.
D. She wanted him to see the northern lights.
9. The author forgot to take pictures after going out because ______.
A. the host mother didn’t remind him to take the camera
B. he was shocked by the wonderful sight
C. the lights flickering in the sky disappeared too soon
D. he lost all feeling in his hands and feet
10. When is the best time to see the northern lights?
A. When they appear in the north part of the sky.
B. When they come down to the south part of the sky.
C. When they are between the north and south.
D. When they rise in the east part of the sky.
11. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A. Waysto take good pictures.
B. The relationship between the sun and the northern lights.
C.The color1 s of the northern lights.
D. The time of the best northern lights.
D
