26、4:45.10like bread, vegetables and meat14:47.80in completely different parts of the store.14:51.37Products with a high profit margin14:53.64are always placed on shelves within easy reach of the customer,14:58.32while lower margin items like sugar or flower15:02.00are on the top or bottom shelves.15:0
27、5.25Many people make shopping list before they visit supermarkets.15:10.18But even so,15:11.15around 60% of all supermarket purchases15:15.12are the result of decisions that are taken in the store.15:19.23For this reason,15:20.16supermarkets try to attract their customers15:23.45by placing certain k
28、inds of product next to each other.15:28.32In the UK,15:29.80beer will often be found next to items for babies15:33.54because research shows15:34.78that fathers of babies buy them15:36.81on their way home from work15:39.24and will buy beer at the same time.15:42.58Research has also shown that15:44.6
29、8this kind of impulse buy happens more frequently15:48.66when no sales assistants are nearby.15:52.07Supermarkets have made selling such a fine art15:55.86that their customers often lose all sense of time.15:59.87When interviewed, customers normally guess16:02.68theyve only spent half an hour in the
30、 supermarket16:06.12even when they have been there for over 45 minutes.16:10.22But that shouldnt be too surprising.16:13.62Any really profitable supermarket knows16:16.24that it should keep its clocks well hidden.16:19.81Questions 16 to 19 are based on the passage you have just heard.16:26.1716.

32、wo17:57.37When Matty Sallin was working on a degree18:00.07in art and technology at university,18:03.59he got an interesting assignment in electronics class:18:07.92Create something for the household.18:10.59He decided to create an alarm clock.18:14.63Everybody has to use an alarm clock of some kind
33、 every day,18:19.00and its extremely unpleasant! he says.18:22.67He asked different people18:24.20what theyd like to wake up to instead of a noisy alarm.18:28.08A lot of them said,18:29.79The smell of bacon.18:32.35So Sallin invented a new kind of alarm clock:18:36.19a wooden box with a pig face and
34、 a digital clock18:39.75that uses the smell of cooking bacon18:42.74rather than sound to wake someone up.18:46.01He explains, Theres no danger of burning,18:49.18because I built it carefully.18:51.41It uses light bulbs instead of a flame for cooking18:55.26and turns off automatically after ten minut
35、es.18:59.08Just a few easy steps are required to set the alarm.19:03.94What you do is put in a couple of frozen strips19:06.98the night before, says Sallin.19:09.44Bacon is preserved,19:10.81so there is no danger of its spoiling overnight. 19:15.11If you set the alarm for 8:00,19:18.58it will turn o
36、n at 7:5019:21.14and slow cook for ten minutes under the bulbs, he says.19:26.44Then the bulbs turn off19:28.49and a fan blows the smell out through the nose of the pig.19:33.59So instead of an alarm, you smell yourself awake, says Sallin.19:39.09Then you can open the door on the side19:41.78and pul
37、l the bacon out and eat it.19:45.54Questions 20 to 22 are based on the passage you have just heard.19:51.9620. What was Matty Sallin doing when he created an alarm clock?20:14.1721. What did Matty Sallin do20:17.68before making the new type of alarm clock?20:37.2922. What makes the newly invented al
38、arm clock so unique?20:59.80Passage Three21:02.08Most people feel lonely sometimes,21:04.84but it usually only lasts21:06.84between a few minutes and a few hours.21:09.72For some people, though, loneliness can last for years.21:13.56Psychologists are studying this complex phenomenon21:17.00and have
39、identified three different types of loneliness.21:21.18The first kind of loneliness is temporary.21:23.94It usually disappears quickly21:26.19and does not require any special attention.21:28.92The second kind, situational loneliness,21:31.99is a natural result of a particular situation,21:35.51for e
40、xample, a divorce or moving to a new place.21:40.10Although this kind of loneliness21:41.83can cause physical problems21:44.19it usually does not last for more than a year.21:48.24Unlike the second type,21:49.80the third kind of loneliness21:51.58usually lasts more than two years21:53.85and has no s
41、pecific cause.21:56.29People who experience habitual loneliness21:59.08have problems socializing22:00.77and becoming close to others.22:02.99Unfortunately,22:04.17many of them think22:05.25there is little or nothing they can do about it.22:09.19Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneli
42、ness22:13.65is a persons social contacts,22:16.13for example, friends, family members, etc.22:20.16We depend on various people for different reasons.22:24.38For instance,22:25.34our families give us emotional support22:28.26and our friends share similar interests and activities.22:32.17However, psyc
43、hologists have found that22:34.66the number of social contacts we have22:37.47is not the only reason for loneliness.22:40.90It is more important22:42.03how many social contacts we think22:44.35or expect we should have.22:46.94In other words,22:48.02though lonely people may have many social contacts,
44、22:51.59they sometimes feel they should have more.22:54.67They question their own popularity.22:58.54Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passage23:02.56you have just heard.23:04.6423. What does the speaker say about situational loneliness?23:26.9124. What problem will people have23:30.40if they expe
