阅读理解。 People in cities all over the world shop in supermarkets. Who decides
题型：山东省期末题难度：来源：
Do you decide? Does the supermarket decide?
When you enter the supermarket, you see shelves full of food. You walk in the aisles between the shelves.
You push a shopping cart and put your food in it.
You probably hear soft, slow music as you walk along the aisles. This may be an attempt to please you,
so you will enjoy shopping. Some supermarkets want to increase their profits by playing soft and slow music,
because the slow music makes you walk slowly and you have more time to buy things.
Fresh fruit and vegetables are usually put near the entrance. When you arrive at the supermarket, you
concentrate on the kinds of fruit and vegetables you need first. Once you"ve got that out of the way, you can
relax and do the rest of the shopping without any hurry. Besides, if you see fresh goods first, it gives you a
"feel good" impression of freshness, so you can not help spending your money. Maybe you go to the meat
department then. There is some meat on sale, and you want to find it. The manager of the supermarket knows
where customers enter the meat department. The cheaper meat is at the other end of the meat department,
away from where the customers enter. You have to walk past all the expensive meat before you find the
cheaper meat.
Maybe you will buy some of the expensive meat instead of the meat on sale.
Most of the food in supermarkets is very attractive. It all says "Buy me quickly!" to the customers. The
fresh fruit and vegetables say"Buy me quickly!" as you walk by. The expensive meat says "Buy me quickly!"
The supermarket tells you what to buy.

to make more decisions. For example, let them decide when and where to study, what to wear, what sports
team to join. However, keep in mind that some decisions can"t be discussed or changed. Parents need to set
limits that protect their children" health and safety.
2 . There"s something happy about the family sitting together around the dinner table. The evening meal
is often the time of the day when the family can sit together in one place and talk with each other. So make
dinner a family affair. You can use the chance to share the news of the day and make weekend plans.
3 . You can tell your children that you, too, sometimes feel angry or unhappy, which shows your
children that you"re not just a parent-you"re a human. Not only will your children feel closer to you, but he or
she may feel safe enough to disclose uncomfortable things or feelings.
4 . They maybe make some wrong choices sometimes. But if they"re over 18, give them the chance to
deal with problems on their own. After all, didn"t you want the same from your parents when you were their
age?
5 . Don"t read her diary, eavesdrop (偷听) on his phone conversations, or upset her with questions.
Remember that they are humans and have their own privacy (隐私) just like you. If you think they have some
problems, point it out directly, using five little words:"Can we talk about it?" For example, you can use the

D. Don"t break your children"s privacy.

F. Set a fixed dinnertime to your children
and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down.
"I wish I could take one of my children out alone," said Christie.
Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I"ll watch her other three. And
when she watches two of mine, I"ll take someone out.
The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of "Mommy and Me" time. Christie"s daughter,
McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie
was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. "She"s like a different child when there"s no one
else around," Christie shared with me quickly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn"t have to make
an effort to gain attention.
Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my
children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close
to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering (口吃的) son, Tom, doesn"t stutter once during our activities
since he doesn"t have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, who"s always a follower
when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.
The "Mommy and Me" time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child-talking, sharing, and
laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves (应得到) to be an only child at least once in
a while.
B. The advantage of spending time with one child at a time.
C. The happy life of two families.
D. The basic needs of children.
B. curious
C. regretful
D. friendly
B. Sam holds her hand more often.
C. The boys become better followers.
D. Tom has less difficulty in speaking.
B. it"s tiring to look after three children
C. every child needs parents" full attention
D. parents should watch others" children
