Never go into a supermarket hungry! This is a good piece of advice. If you go shopping for food before lunchtime, you’ll probably buy more than you plan to. Unfortunately, however, just this advice isn’t enough for consumers these days. Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store. First, you check the weekly newspaper ads. Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need these things. In other words, don’t buy anything just because it’s cheaper than usual! “New and Improved!” or “All Natural” on the front of a package influence you. Instead, read the list of ingredients(contents) on the back. Third, compare prices: that is, you should examine the prices of both different brands and different sizes of the same brand.
Another suggestion for consumers is to buy ordinary items instead of famous brands. Ordinary items in supermarkets come in plain packages. These products are cheaper because producers don’t spend much money on packing or advertising. The quality, however, is usually as good as the quality of well-known name brands. In the same way, in buying clothes, you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous. Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money. Although these stores aren’t very attractive, and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms, not only are the prices low, but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores.
Wise consumers read magazine ads and watch TV commercials, but they do this with one advantage: knowledge of the psychology behind the ads. In other words, well-informed consumers watch for information and check for misinformation. They ask themselves questions: Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page? Is there any real information in the commercial, or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image? With the answers to these questions, consumers can make a wise choice.
All the following statements are true about the phrase “ordinary items” in Paragraph 2 EXCEPT __________.
A. ordinary items never say “New and Improved” or “All Natural”
B. ordinary products are usually cheaper than famous brands
C. producers spend less money on packaging of ordinary items
D. the quality of ordinary items is usually as good as that of famous brands
What does the writer think about ads? __________
A. They are believable. B. They are attractive.
C. They are full of misinformation. D. They are helpful to consumers.
One of the author’s suggestions to consumers is __________.
A. to make use of ads
B. not to buy items with words like “New and Improved” or “All Natural”
C. to buy high quality items such as famous brands after lunch
D. to buy any ordinary items instead of famous brands
The author implies that __________.
A. going into the supermarket hungry, you may buy more than you plan to
B. the quality of ordinary items is usually high and the prices are relatively low
C. discount clothing stores are good places to go to
D. ads sometimes don’t tell the truth

The small unframed painting called “Fisherman” was signed by a little-known Italian artist, Maveleone (1669-1740). When it was sold recently in New York for $27,000, the seller, Mr. Oliver Pitt, was asked to explain how the picture had come into his possession.
Pitt said, “I didn’t know it was so valuable. I’m not an art expert. Photography is my hobby. I bought ‘Fisherman’ in Italy in 1970 for $140. The picture was dirty, and I couldn’t see the artist’s signature. But anyway it wasn’t the picture that I liked. I bought it because of the frame. ”
“It’s a most unusual frame, made of tiny, silvery sea-shells. They are set in such a way that they reflect perfect light onto the surface of a picture. I now have a photograph of my wife in that frame, and I’ll never part with it.”
“When I returned to New York I showed the painting in its frame to a customs officer. I told him that I had paid $140 for it but admitted I didn’t know its actual worth. The customs man valued it at $140, and I was asked to pay duty on that value. I did so, there and then. ”
“Later, I took off the frame, and that uncovered Maveleone’s signature. My wife suggested in fun that the painting might be a valuable one, so I cleaned it and put it up for sale.”
As a result of this explanation, Oliver Pitt had to appear in court. He was accused of knowingly making a false statement of the value of a picture so as to cheat the Customs Department.
Pitt was not happy. “I told the truth as I knew it then,” he said, “What else could I say?”
And then the judge agreed with him. “The Customs Department is to be responsible,” he said, “for making a true valuation of goods brought into the country, so that the correct amount of duty may be charged. Mr. Pitt did not cause or try to cause the mistake that was made. He paid the duty that was demanded. If, now, the Customs Department finds that its valuation was not correct, it cannot be allowed to have another try. Pitt is not guilty”.
When Oliver Pitt bought the picture, ________.
A. it was unframed B. Maveleone signed the deal
C. he suggested that it was valuable D. it was the frame that attracted him
From the passage we can infer that if Maveleone had been a well-known artist, _.
A. the painting would have cost much more than $ 140
B. he wouldn’t have sold his painting
C. the customs officer wouldn’t have been cheated
D. Pitt wouldn’t have had the intention to buy any of his paintings
Pitt took off the frame probably in order to _.
A. clean the painting to put it up for sale
B. look for the artist’s signature
C. use it for his wife’s photograph
D. find the painting’s true value
Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the story?
A. In the end Pitt was asked to pay the correct amount of duty.
B. In the end Pitt sold the frame of the painting at an even higher price.
C. In the end the Customs Department had no right to revalue the painting.
D. In the end Pitt’s wife was regarded as an expert because of her wise suggestion.

As computer games get to look more lifelike, it seems that their violence is spilling over into real life. It is reported that some dozens of children have been murdered since 1997, which has been linked to all obsession (著迷) with violent video games. Recently the parents of a 14-??year-??old murder victim in the UK blamed the killer's obsession with the game Manhunt, causing a government review of legislation (立法) to protect children.
Psychologists think there may be many reasons why violent games are more harmful to children than violent movies. Firstly, players are actively involved in violence, and may begin to see using weapons as second nature. Secondly, violent games provide repetitive aggressive (侵犯的) experiences that are rewarded by more killing.
Many studies have shown that people who play violent games regularly are more likely to show high levels of aggression. For instance, in 2000, scientists in Iowa State University found that people who played violent games were more likely to admit involvement in aggressive behaviors, including assaults (侵犯人體罪) or robberies.
A study of 13 to 14-??year??-old children showed that more than half had played games recommended only for over??18s. The more violent the games they played, the more they considered physical aggression to be acceptable. Besides, children who play violent games are more prone (有做……傾向的) to arguing with teachers and fighting.
Experimental studies have also hinted at a possible link. In one, scientists asked a group of students to play a violent game, while another group played the non??violent. Those who played the violent games were faster to react to aggressive words subsequently (隨后) flashed on screen.
We may infer from the first paragraph that .
A. computer games have little to do with violence in real life
B. Manhunt has resulted in the death of one of its plays
C. lifelike computer games are forbidden in the UK
D. legislation to protect children in the UK still needs improving
Violent games are more harmful to children than violent movies because .
A. violent movies are not so attractive to children
B. the viewers can't take part in violent movies
C. violent movies are not popular with children
D. children can win awards in violent games
What will be probably discussed in the paragraph following the passage？
A. Further research on the harm of violent games.
B. Further differences between violent game and non??violent games.
C. Ways to protect children from violent games.
D. The result of more experimental studies.
What would be the best title for the passage？
A. Games and Murder
B. Should Computer Games become lifelike？
C. Legislation, effective or not？
D. Violent Games and Non??violent Games
