Online shoppers would rather receive an offer for a product or service than make their own offer 3 according to a study led by a Michigan State University scholar that has implications for the fast-growing e-commerce industry. The findings may come as a surprise given that shopping online is an anonymous(匿名的）process that seemingly can give consumers more confidence to drive a hard bargain,said Don Conlon ，Professor of Management in MSU’s Broad College of Business.
But the study found that participants who made their own offers were less successful in sealing the deal and ，when they were successful? worried they overpaid Many shoppers found the process of researching an offer to be a hassle. “ Americans are very busy，and it’s less time-consuming to be the one receiving the offer rather than the one proposing the offer  ” Conlon said. u People tend to be happier when they’re in the receiver role. ”
Online spending in the United States is expected to jump 45 percent in the next four years， from $ 226 billion this year to $ 327 billion in 2017，according to Forrester Research Inc. Nevertheless, researches into this prosperous market remain largely focused on the strategies of companies, rather than those o£ shoppers. Conlon’s study is ，obviously, a rare exception.
Conlon got the idea for the study after considering the difference between two popular sites for hotels and airline flights, priceline.com, which takes bids, and hotwire.com ，which provides offers. Using these two models ，Conlon and his fellow researchers conducted a series of experiments with more than 850 people who were charged with booking a fictional hotel room and acquiring a fictional antique car. Not only did participants prefer to receive bids, Conlon said ，but they also secured more deals in that receiver role. Further ，when they had to make the bids ，they were left more mentally taxed and regretful.
From an industry perspective，putting customers in the receiver role may help fill more hotel rooms and airplane seats. “If you’re a business with a lot of products3 ” Conlon said，“you may want to be the one making the offers. ” However, when selling single items, such as an antique car， accepting bids may be a better option since that typically drives up the price, he said.
小題1:What can we learn from Para. 1?
A．The result of the study gives customers more confidence.
B．Scholars aren’t surprised at the findings of the study.
C．Online shoppers don’t bargain as much as expected.
D．E-commerce industry drives more hard bargains.
小題2:It can be concluded from Conlon’s experiments that______.
A．online shopping is time-consuming
B．given prices help promote online sales
C．online businesses provide a lot of products
D．receiving offers makes online shoppers regretful
小題3:The underlined word “taxed” in Para. 4 probably means______.
A．burdenedB．numbedC．relievedD．challenged
小題4:The passage is mainly about______.
A．the big advantages of online shopping
B．the rapid development of online shopping
C．online shoppers’ preference for taking offers
D．online companies strategies to improve service

Forget hard work and perseverance. Getting ahead is as simple as tidying your desk.
According to a leading expert, having a cluttered environment reflects a cluttered mind, but the act of tidying up can help you be more successful. The advice comes from Jayne Morris, the resident"life coach" for NHS Online, who said it is no good just moving the mess around. In order to clear the mind, unwanted items must be thrown away to free your "inner world", she said.
Ms Morris, who claims to have coached celebrities to major business figures, said:“Clearing clutter from your desk has the power to transform your business. " How? Because clutter in your outer environment is the physical sign of all the clutter going on inside of you. " Clearing clutter has a chain effect across your entire life, including your work. Having an untidy desk covered in clutter could be stopping you achieving the business success you want. " She is sure cleaning up will be helpful even though some of history's biggest achievers lived and worked in messy conditions.
Churchill was considered untidy from a boy throughout his life, from his office to his artist's studio,and the lab where Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin was famously untidy.
Among the recommendations is that simply tidying a desk at work and an overflowing filing cabinet(陳列柜) will instantly have a positive impact on "your inner world. " Anything that is no longer used should not be put into storage but thrown away completely.
Keeping something in the loft, garage or other part of the house, does not help because it is still connected to the person "by tiny energetic li.nes", Ms Morris. claims.
She said, "The things in your life that are useful to you, that add value to your life, that serve a current purpose are charged with positive energy that refreshes you and enriches your life. But the things that you don't ever use and don't need anymore have the opposite effect on your energy.
Things that no longer fit or serve you, use up your energy. "
小題1:The underlined word "cluttered" (in Para.2) is closest, in meaning to __
A．messyB．briefC．complexD．a(chǎn)ggressive
小題2:Which of the following statements does Ms Morris agree to?
A．Changing the position of staff frequently will help to build up a clear mind.
B．A tidy office will lead to a success in your business affairs in no time.
C．To have a free mind, we need to throw away unneeded items at times.
D．You can pack up your things in garage or loft to cheer you up.
小題3:According to Ms Morris, an untidy desk probably means that         
A．you are quite a failure
B．you are in a messy mind
C．you are toe tired to deal with it
D．you have achieved the business success
小題4:Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A．Less untidy, more successful.
B．How to improve your inner world.
C．Cleaning up makes you less intelligent.
D．Being bigger achiever needs more effort.

Michelle Obama made a daring decision to return to the same designer who created her Inaugural (就職）Ball dress four years ago --- and the risk paid off.
The First Lady looked extremely attractive in a thin, sweeping, and ruby-colored dress by designer Jason Wu. She teamed the dramatic dress with heels by Jimmy Choo and a diamond ring by Kimberly McDonald.
She surprised the fashion establishment by returning to a Wu design which had been the custom made for her.
Four years ago at her first Inauguration Ball, Michelle shimmered（熠熠生輝）in an off-white, one-shouldered floor-length dress by the designer.
Wu, who was 26 at the time and had only been working in fashion for three years, saw his career take off after the First Lady's surprise decision to wear one of his dresses.
He said at the time that he was unaware she had chosen the dress and had been watching at home on his couch and eating pizza when she appeared.
After her 2013 decision, Wu told Women's Wear Daily: “Mrs Obama likes to keep her secrets. She fooled me again.”
Wu released a women's clothing and accessories（裝飾品）collection at Target last year and continues to be popular with the First Lady for official engagements.
The sleeveless, cross-halter neck dress with low-cut back flattered（突出）49-year-old Michelle's arms and neat waist.
It had been created especially for her by Wu and was a departure from the dark and plain colour tone she stuck to at earlier inauguration events.
Mrs Obama's new hairstyle -- she had bangs（美發(fā)沙龍）cut on her birthday last week  had been loosely tousled（蓬松的）for the special night.
Vice-President Joe Biden's wife Jill also looked attractive in a blue silk dress by Vera Wang at the Inauguration Ball.
小題1:What does the passage mainly talk about？
A．Michelle Obama’s inaugural ball dress.
B．Wu, a great designer.
C．The First Lady’s secrets.
D．Mrs Obama’s 2013 decision.
小題2:Michelle Obama’s brave decision proved to be a_________.
A．riskB．danger
C． SurpriseD．success
小題3: According to the passage, which of the following is correct?
A．Mrs Obama’s inaugural dresses were made by the same designer.
B．Joe Biden’s wife Jill also had her dress created by Wu.
C．The colour tone at Michelle’s earlier inaugural events was not satifactory.
D．Mrs Obama had straight forehead hair as her new hairstyle for the special night.
小題4: Which of the following best describes Jason Wu?
A．Daring and gifted.
B．Unusual and cautious.
C．Careful and brave.
D．Talented and lucky.
