Picture this：You' re at a movie theater food stand loading up on snacks.You have a choice of a small，medium or large soda.The small is ﹩3.50 and the large is ﹩5.50.It's a tough decision：the small size may not last you through the whole movie，but ﹩5.50 for some sugary drink seems ridiculous.But there's a third option，a medium soda for ﹩5.25.Medium may be the perfect amount of soda for you，but the large is only a quarter more.If you're like most people，you end up buying the large（and taking a bathroom break midshow）. If you're wondering who would buy the medium soda，the answer is almost no one.In fact，there's a good chance the marketing department purposely priced the medium soda as a decoy（诱饵），making you more likely to buy the large soda rather than the small. I have written about this peculiarity in human nature before with my friend Dan Ariely，who studied this phenomenon extensively after noticing pricing for subscriptions（订阅）to The Economist.The digital subscription was ﹩59，the print subscription was ﹩125，and the print plus digital subscription was also ﹩125.No one in their right mind would buy the print subscription when you could get digital as well for the same price，so why was it even an option？Ariely ran an experiment and found that when only the two "real" choices were offered，more people chose the less-expensive digital subscription.But the addition of the bad option made people much more likely to choose the more expensive print plus digital option. Brain scientists call this effect "asymmetric dominance" and it means that people gravitate toward the choice nearest a clearly inferior option.Marketing professors call it the decoy effect，which is certainly easier to remember.Lucky for consumers，almost no one in the business community understands it. The decoy effect works because of the way our brains assign value when making choices.Value is almost never absolute；rather，we decide an object's value relative to our other choices.If more options are introduced，the value equation changes.（1）Why does the author ask us to imagine buying food in the movie theater？ ____ A.To illustrate people's peculiar shopping behaviorB.To illustrate the increasing variety of snacks there.C.To show how hard it can be to choose a drink there.D.To show how popular snacks are among movie fans.（2）Why is the medium soda priced the way it is？ ____ A.To attract more customers to buy it.B.To show the price matches the amount.C.To ensure customers drink the right amount of soda.D.To make customers believe they are getting a bargain.（3）What do we learn from Dan Ariely's experiment？ ____ A.The Economist's print edition turns out to sell the best.B.More readers choose the digital over the print edition.C.The Economist's promotional strategy works.D.Lower-priced goods attract more customers.（4）What does the underlined word in Paragraph 4 probably mean？ ____ A.Move.B.Work.C.Remember.D.Understand.（5）How do we assess the value of a commodity，according to the passage？ ____ A.By considering its usefulness.B.y examining its value equation.C.By comparing it with other choices.D.By taking its low quality into account.

26 Trust is fundamental to life. If you can’t trust anything, life becomes intolerable. You can’t have relationships without trust, let alone good ones. In the workplace, too, trust is 26. An organization without trust will be full of fear and 27. If you work for a boss who doesn’t trust their employees to do things right, you’ll have a 28time. They’ll be checking up on you all the time, correcting “mistakes” and 29reminding you to do this or that. Colleagues who don’t trust one another will need to spend more time 30their backs than doing any useful work. Organizations are always trying to cut costs. Think of all the additional tasks caused by lack of trust. Audit (审计) departments only exist because of it. Companies keep large volumes of 31because they don’t trust their suppliers, their contractors or their customers. Probably more than half of all administrative work is only there because of an ever-existing sense that “you can’t trust anyone these days.” If even a small part of such valueless work could be 32, the savings would run into millions of dollars. All this is extra work we 33onto ourselves because we don’t trust people—the checking, following through, doing things ourselves because we don’t believe others will do them 34—or at all. If we took all that away, how much extra time would we suddenly find in our life? How much of our work 35would disappear?A、constantly B、credible C、essential D、exploring E、gather F、load G、miserable A.pressureB.properly C.records D.removed E.stacks F.suspicion G.tracked H.watching
