Packaging is an important form of advertising. A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product. For example, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comes in a box with a picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture than in the breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, or small gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buy products—or to ask their parents for them. Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this. Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product. The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has ''Economy Size'' or ''Family Size'' printed on it. This suggests that the large size has the most products for the least money. But that is not always true. A buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit. The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures do not tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that. 1. The underlined words ''a buyer will get something for nothing'' (Paragraph 2) most probably mean that . A. a buyer will not get what he wants B. a buyer will gain more than he loses C. a buyer will get what he pays for D. a buyer will get something useful free of charge 2. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. On seeing a well-designed container, a buyer often neglects (忽略) what is inside it. B. A buyer is also attracted by the size of the container. C. Children are often made to buy a product by its package with attractive pictures. D. Packaging is often a successful advertisement. 3. What suggestion does the author give in the passage? A. The best choice for a buyer is to get a product in a plain package. B. A buyer should get what he needs most. C. Do not buy the product which is sold in a glass or dish. D. A buyer should know that the quality of a container has little to do with the quality of the product.

Passage Eleven Some psychologists maintain that mental acts such as thinking are not performed in the brain alone, but that one.s muscles also participate. It may be said that we think with our muscles in somewhat the same way that we listen to music with our bodies. You surely are not surprised to be told that you usually listen to music not only with your ears but with your whole body. Few people can listen to music that is more or less familiar without moving their bodies or, more specifically, some parts of their bodies. Often when one listens to a concert on the radio, he is tempted to direct the band even though he knows there is a competent conductor on the job. Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot get all possible enjoyment from music unless he participates, so to speak, in its performance. The listener “feels” himself into the music with more or less pronounced motions of his body. The muscles of the body actually participate in the mental process of thinking in the same way, but this participation is less obvious because it is less pronounced. 211. Some psychologists maintain that thinking is______. A. not a mental process B. more of a physical process than a mental action C. a process that involves the muscles as well as the whole body D. a process that involves the muscles as well as the brain 212.
