Few people find it easy to refuse a bargain (a product sold at lower price). But bargains are not always
what they seem. Some sales and bargains are good deals, but not all are. Here are some pointers to help you
tell the difference between real bargains and bad deals.
Sometimes a product is on sale for "below producer"s cost". Watch out for this kind of "bargain". Why
would anyone want to sell a product for less than it cost to make it? Before buying, you should find out why
it is being sold at a loss to the producer. Is it damaged? Is it out of style? Does it come with any guarantee
(保障)?
Another pointer is to read price tags on sale items carefully. For example, a price tag in a store may say
"regular price $16". The regular price is the price of the item before the sales started and after the sale ends.
The regular price is only for that store, however. In another store, the price could be lower.
A price tag may also say "original (原来的) price $ 16". That means at one time the item sold for $16-even
as much as five years earlier! For example, the original price of pocket calculators was high when they were
introduced. Now the price is much lower. Showing the original price would be misleading.
Finally, be careful how you use cents-off coupons (优惠券). A coupon can save you money only if you
intend to use the item. The price of an item may not be the same at different stores. So use the coupon at the
store with the lowest price. Don"t forget to add any sales tax to the item before you figure out the "cents-off"
price". |
| 1. The purpose of the author to write this article is _____. |
| [ ] |
A. to show that there are no real bargains
B. to warn readers that some sales are not bargains

| [ ] |
A. Few people find it easy to refuse a bargain.

| 3. The author"s opinion of an item that sells below producer"s cost is that _____. |
| [ ] |
A. it is out of style
B. it is always a good deal
C. it has no guarantee
D. there may be something wrong with the item |
| 4. The author suggests that cents-off coupons should be used _____. |
| [ ] |
A only for items with no tax
B. For as many items as possible

Do you know how to play a game called "Musical Chairs"? It is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All
you need are some chairs, some people and some way of making music. You may use a piano or any other
musical instrument, if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder. You can even use a radio.
Put the chairs in a row. The chairs may be put in twos, back to back. A better way is to have the chairs
in one row with each chair facing in the opposite direction to the chair next to it.
The game is easy. When the music starts, the players walk round the chairs. Everyone goes in the same
direction, of course, they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If
the music is slow, they should walk slowly.
The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops, the players try to sit
on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he drops out. Then, before the music starts again, one
chair must be taken away. When the music stops again, one more player will be out.
At last, there will be two players and only one chair. The one who sits on the chair when the music stops
is the winner. |
