1.What is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop?The products displayed(展示)at  the entrance?Or the soft background music?
But have you ever noticed the smell?Unless it is bad,the answer is likely to be no.But while a shop's scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds,it is certainly there.And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase.
A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance,Via scent machines.A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air.One sports goods company once reposed that when it first introduced scent into its stores,customers'intension to purchase increased by 80percent.
When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs,scent is just as important to a brand's success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sales.That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be.
Some years ago,the focus for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales  assistants'disproving attitude and don't-touch-what-you-can't afford displays.Now the rise of electronic commerce(e-commerce)has opened up famous brands to a wider audience.But while e-shops can use sights and sounds,only bricks-and-mortar stores(實(shí)體店)can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave.Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop,but rather a destination.And scent is just one way to achieve this.
Now a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department,and coconut(椰子)scent in the swimsuit section.A department store has even opened a new lab,inviting customers on a journey into the store's windows to smell books,pots and drawers,in search of their perfect scent.

32.According to the passage,what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand store?C
A.Friendly assistant.
B.Soft background music.
C.Unique scents.
D.Attractive window display.
33.E-shops are mentioned in the passage toB.

B.show the advantages of brick-and-mortar stores
C.push stores to use sights and sounds

34.The underlined word"destination"in Paragraph 5 meansA.
A.a(chǎn) place where customers love to go

8.Environmental health is defined as the control of the factors (因素) in the environment that may have harmful effects on people's physical,mental,or social well-being (安樂).Because natural disasters expose people to danger by bringing up or threatening their immediate environment,effective management of environmental health after a natural disaster is of great importance.
The environmental health measures that must be considered after a natural disaster include the supply of appropriate shelter for individuals or groups of people left homeless,the distribution (分配) of safe and accessible water,and the protection and distribution of safe food products and so on.
To effectively manage environmental health during and after a disaster,it is important that a state of preparation is in effect before the event actually occurs.During an emergency,success largely depends on making good,rapid judgment and appropriate response measures.High-level decision makers,therefore,must be familiar with sound measures beforehand and should be given an accurate judgment of the disaster's specific effects as quickly as possible.
This book is intended to serve as a guide for those who may be called upon to make emergency decisions after disaster strikes.The recommended environmental health measures have been listed in the order of priority in which they should be taken during an emergency.However,each natural disaster is unique in the degree or type of emergency.In response to any given disaster,decision makers may find it necessary to change the priority assigned to any particular measure.

28.Why is it significant to take effective measures after a natural disaster?D
A.Victims may be at stake without immediate controls.
B.Victims may be at the risk of losing their properties.
C.Victims may be exposed to poisonous or radioactive minerals.
D.Victims may be threatened by environmental health problems.
29.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A
A.Good preparation beforehand is vital.
B.Rapid judgment is quite beneficial.
C.Effective measures sound familiar.
D.Slow responses sound ineffective.
30.Whom is the book mainly written for?C
A.A research quite into environment health.
B.An organizer to handle domestic disastrous situations.
C.A possible decision-maker to handle a disaster emergency.
D.A holidaymaker fond of the topic of effective management.
31.What does the underlined word"priority"in Paragraph 4 refer to?B
A.Perfection.
B.Preference.
C.Possibility.
D.Popularity.

3.Remembering names is an important social skill.(36)B
●Recite and repeat in conversation.
When you hear a person's name,repeat it.Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips.You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.
●Ask the other person to recite and repeat.
You can let other people help you remember their names.After you've been introduced to someone,ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you.(37)G 
●Admit you don't know
Admitting that you can't remember someone's name can actually make people relaxed.Most of them will feel sympathy if you say."I'm working to remember names better.(38)C What is it again?"
●Use associations
Link each person yon meet with one thing out find interesting or unusual.For example,you could make a mental note:"Vicki Cheng---tall,black hair."To reinforce you're your associations,write them on a small card as soon as possible.
●(39)F
When meeting a group of people,concentrate on remembering just two or three names.Free yourself from remembering every one.Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names.Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names.Last names can come later.
●Go early
Consider going early to conferences,parties and classes.Sometimes just a few people show up ontime.(40)DAnd as more people arrive,you can hear them being introduced to others---an automatic review for you.

A.Remember a name at a time.
B.Here are some ways to master it.
C.Yours is right on the tip of my tongue.
D.That's fewer names for you to remember.
E.Most people will be pleased with your hard work.
F.Limit the number of new names you learn atone time.
G.Most people will be pleased by the effort you're making to learn their names.
