問題詳情

四、閱讀測驗【請依照段落上下文意，選出最適當的答案】     Being a smart shopper is important. Whether you know it or not, stores are constantly trying to get you to buyproducts that you don’t need, or more products than you really want. Here are some tricks they use: ･Placing the most expensive items at eye level on the shelves. Often, the best bargains are on the bottomshelves, where nobody looks. Instead, your eye is naturally drawn to the most expensive items. ･Crafty pricing. Stores use prices like “$199” or “$399” because your brain processes “$399” as “$300,” not“$400.” ･Free samples. Eating a small sample of something tasty makes you want to eat more of that item. Hopefullythis will lead you to buy something you didn’t know you wanted until you ate the sample. ･Buy one, get one free deals. Studies show that these seeming “bargains” induce people into spending 150percent more than they usually do. ･Store “discount” cards. People who use these cards spend 42 percent more on groceries than people whodon’t—usually because the “bargains” for card members induce them to buy products they don’t need. ･Specialized receipts. If you belong to a store’s points program, you may get a receipt that features a couponfor an item that store knows you buy a lot of. The idea is to give you a small discount so that you’ll comeback soon and spend more money than you would have otherwise. These are just a few of the many age-old tricks used by many stores to persuade you to part with your cash.Have a look for them next time you are shopping. If you are strict and only buy what you need, then you will savemoney.
