设计超市的目的就是为了使消费者在店里尽可能长时间地逗留。

理由很简单：你在店里待的时间越长，看到的商品就越多；看到的商品越多，买的就越多。

超市里有各种各样的商品。

根据食品营销研究所的调查，一般超市里约有4400种不同的商品，许多超市甚至有上万种。

如此众多的选择足以让顾客眼花缭乱。

根据脑部扫描实验，迅速做出如此多的决定对我们来说实在太难。

40分钟的购物经历后，大多数人已不再是理性选择，取而代之的是冲动消费——也就是在这时我们的购物车开始装入一半我们根本没想买的东西。

Dear Jack,
Thank you very much for your congratulatory Email. As for the advice on translation, based on my not-so-rich experience, here are a few suggestions. First, you need to be proficient in both Chinese and English. Second, you need to drill translation skills as frequent as you can. Last but not least, I strongly recommend you to take part in more translation activities and contests to test your progress. Again, thank you so much for the compliments and wish you good luck with your translation endeavor as well.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming

This is a simple but informative chart, which illustrates the travelling purposes of students in a certain university. As is shown in the chart, 37% percent of students travel for the purpose of sightseeing; next comes the purpose of relieving pressure, accounting for 33%; only a small part of students travel for the purpose of making friends and cultivating independence.
There’s no blaming that college students spend time and money travelling to enjoy natural beauty and refresh themselves. Anyway, they are young and energetic, and therefore at the best time of going out and seeing the world. However, having fun should not be the main purpose of touring for the young. To ensure that their tours are time-and-money-worthy, and their visions broadened, horizons extended in the tour, it is essential that they try their best to make friends with various people, learn about different cultures and foster their spirit of independence.
To achieve this aim, college students may well change their way of travelling. For instance, they can well tour by bus or by bike, during their trip they can try to communicate with local people as much as possible, and avoid the tourist-beaten routes to try something new.。
