   Your local grocery store is a psychological minefield E) , where even the bananas are ripe with mystery.

   1. Southpaws (左撇子) have an invisible (看不见的) advantage 

   You've probably seen that stores keep go-to items — produce,meats,dairy — on the outer edge. But did you notice that most of them are set up to make you run counterclockwise(逆时针) ?Ninety percent of us are right-handed,so we buy more when it's counterclockwise. You'11 also often find the dairy section in the back left comer: Because dairy is likely on your list,stores make sure you take the longest route to get there. In fairness,it's also a more convenient place to put a fridge.

   2. Everything is in its place 

   It's safe to say that nothing you see on a shelf is there by chance. The cookies on sale at the end of a passage are likely the result of smart product placement. More expensive items are usually placed at an adult's eye level,while colorflil treats and other products for kids are positioned lower — to catch the attention of children.

   3. Time goes by so slowly 

   Stores rarely have windows or clocks. With no reference to the outside world,customers can easily lose track of how long they,ve been there so that they can buy more. Grocery stores may use another trick to control your sense of time: small floor tiles (瓷砖) .

   4. Goods are an art form 

   Grocers know exactly what shade of banana you,re most likely to buy. To ensure the bananas on display are the closest to this shade,stores use a ripeness scale that ranges from one (all green) to seven (yellow with brown spots) . Some stores even use special lighting to make bananas look more appealing. As for the water sprayed on the other produce? It makes veggies look fresh,but keeping them wet actually makes them rot faster. It also makes produce heavier — and therefore pricier.

6. Why do stores usually put dairy in the back left comer?

   A. Because it is a quiet place.

   B. To make people buy more.

   C. To attract people's attention.

   D. Because most people are right-handed.

7. You are more likely to find toys.

   A. in comers

   B. on lower shelves

   C. at an adult's eye level

   D. at the end of a passage

8. Why are there usually no windows or clocks in stores?

   A. They are useless.

   B. There is no space for them.

   C. To make customers stay longer.

   D. To allow customers to enjoy themselves.

9. Stores use special lighting to make bananas .

   A. heavier   B. look fresh

   C. rot slower   D. more attractive

10. Which can be the best title for the text?

   A. Secrets of stores

   B. Advantages of stores

   C. How to shop in stores

   D. How to operate a store

   Roman Krznaric used to regularly walk past a homeless man around the comer from where he lived in Oxford and took almost no notice of him. One day he stopped to speak to him.

   It turned out his name was Alan Human and he had a degree in Philosophy,Politics and Economics from the University of Oxford. They afterwards developed a friendship based on their common interest in Aristotle's ethics(伦理学) .

   This unexpected meeting taught Roman that having conversations with strangers opens up our empathic(同情的) minds. We can not only meet amazing people but also challenge the prejudices that we have about others based on their appearance, accents or backgrounds.

   Furthermore,it's about recovering the curiosity everyone had as a child. Respect the advice of oral historian Studs Terkel,who always spoke to people on the bus, “Don’t be an examiner,be an interested inquirer(探究者).”

   The world's first Empathy Museum is starting in the UK in late 2015 and will then be traveling to Australia and other countries. Among the unusual exhibitions will be a human library,where instead of borrowing a book you borrow a person for conversation — maybe an unhappy investment banker or a gay father. In other words,the kind of!people you may not get to meet in everyday life.

   As the psychologist and inventor of emotional intelligence Daniel Goleman puts it,without empathy a person is “emotionally tone deafIt's clear that with a little effort nearly everyone can put more of their empathic potential to use. So try putting on your empathy shoes and make an adventure of looking at the world through the eyes of others.

11. Why did Roman and Alan become good friends?

   A. They helped each other.

   B. They felt pity for each other.

   C. They shared the same interest.

   D. They had to depend on each other.

12. What should adults learn from children?

   A. Never judge by appearances.

   B. Be curious about others.

   C. Never talk to strangers.

   D. Always be polite.

13. According to Paragraph 5 ,in a human library you can .

   A. act as a librarian

   B. borrow your favorite books

   C. meet ordinary people in life

   D. expect a talk with someone special

14. Which of the following is TRUE according to Daniel Goleman?

   A. Emotional intelligence cannot be improved.

   B. Most people don't  have empathy for others.

   C. It is important to develop empathy for others.

   D. Deaf people have little emotional intelligence.
