28、consumer（消费者）, so that he is buying not only a product but also his belief in life. Scientists have studied consumer behavior recently（最近） and found that the look of the package has a great effect on the “quality（质量）” of the product and on how well it sells, because “Consumers generally cannot tell

29、between a product and its package. Many products are packages and many packages are products,” as Louis Cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers feeling for packaging, noticed（说）.Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of eye movement have shown（说明） that colors draw huma

30、n attention quickly. Take V8 for example. For many years, the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots（胡萝卜） on the thin bottle makes you feel that it is very good for your body. And the word “green” today can keep food prices going up.Shapes are another attraction. Circles（圆形） often suggest happines

35、a crushing(短暂而巨烈的) pain(痛楚) in the chest(胸口) which leaves you sweating(出汗) and gasping(喘息) for breath(呼吸). Recent research from Germany(德国) and Italy(意大利) shows that heart attacks(心脏病) are more common on Monday mornings and doctors blame(认为) the stress(压力) of returning to work after the weekend brea

36、k.The risk of having a heart attack on any given day should be one in seven, but a six-year study helped by researchers at the Free University of Berlin(柏林) of more than 2,600 Germans showed that the average(一样的) person had a 20 percent higher chance of having a heart attack on a Monday than on any

37、other day.Working Germans are particularly(明显地) not protected(爱护) against attack(侵袭), with a 33 percent higher risk at the beginning of the working week.

39、ch of the Free University. “We know a lot about long-term risk factors such as smoking and cholesterol(胆固醇) but we dont know what actually causes heart attacks, so we cant give clear advice on how to prevent them,” he said. Monday mornings have a double(双倍的) helping of stress for the working body as

40、 it makes a rapid change from sleep to activity, and from the relaxing(放松的) weekend to the pressures(压力) of work.“When people get up, their blood pressure and heart rate(心率) go up and there are hormonal（激素） changes in their bodies,” Willich explained. “All these things can have an unfavorable effect

41、 in the blood system and increase the risk of a clot（血凝块） in the arteries（动脉） which will cause a heart attack.”“When people return to work after a weekend off, the pace(步调) of their life changes.
