37、车) full of food. What games do supermarkets play to make us spend so much money?The tricks usually start before you walk in.

38、of course, a small basket would be fine, but all they have are trolleys. And of course the problem with a trolley is that it looks sad and lonely with just one or two products inside.

39、ourse, many people shop in supermarkets because they think everything is cheaper than in other shops. So supermarkets offer very cheap prices on some things but then have higher prices for other products. One new trick is to put red stickers on products. Customers usually connect red stickers with l

42、er shelves so that kids see them.Apart from what you see and smell in a supermarket, what about what you listen to? In most supermarkets they have soft, slow music.

43、. Experts suggest its better to shop when its quieter, on a Monday or a Tuesday for example. And be careful with queues at the checkouts.

Give

48、n a research task，many students make use of a website known as Wikipedia，which is available（可获得的）to all users of the Internet. However，before the introduction of the Internet, students journeyed to the library to search for facts，figures and stories in a huge collection of books known as encyclopedi

49、as（百科全书） The word“encyclopedia，meaning“whole circle of knowledge”，comes from the ancient Greek language. The first encyclopedias were organized by topic. These early collections were the works of a single writer. The first book of this kind was written by a Roman，Pliny the Elder, nearly 2,000 years

50、ago. Plinys collection remained popular for almost 1,500 years. Producing such huge works was a difficult task. So experts began to work together, sharing responsibility for writing about different topics. The first set of books to use many authors was An Universal Dictionary of Arts and Sciences pu

51、blished in 1728. The multiple-author model became the most widely used format. Today there are many encyclopedias in different media. The online encyclopedia Wikipedia was started in 2001. Users can visit the free website on the Internet. But the online information has mistakes. Users are warned tha

52、t newer articles may have large mistakes. Printed encyclopedias are more or less free of mistakes. However, it is expensive to make sure of the correctness. Wikipedia is trying to improve its correctness. They employ（雇用）1，000“fact checkers to look through the website and correct mistakes. The websit

53、e managers also state that older articles are more complete and balanced. Encyclopedia Britannica has even made moves away from being a single-format book too. The company started a free online version. The free articles are short;however, longer articles are available after users pay for them. Both

54、 online and print editions（版本）have disadvantages. The mistakes can be corrected，but the process takes time. Print editions are resistant（顽固的）to such mistakes. They are also resistant to something else：change. Sometimes new information becomes available after an encyclopedia is printed. Publishers ca

55、n wait to include the new information in the next edition，but that might be a year or more away. More changes are likely for encyclopedias，whether in print or online. As time goes by，the knowledge of humankind will still need to be recorded，sorted，and stored. The story of how that information will l
