　　The shopping malls are designed for only one thing: encouraging people to buy，buy, buy. How do they do this? Well, it is something of an art, an art that has been brought to perfection in the 50 years since malls first started appearing in America.

　　Every aspect(方面) of mall design is carefully considered to appeal to(吸引) the customer's psychological(心理的) needs. This starts with the overall environment. Tests have shown that people feel most relaxed and comfortable at a temperature of 24-26 degrees. So, this is the air temperature of most malls. If it is any hotter, people may become too lazy to walk. Any cooler, they may rush around and leave before they've spent enough money.

　　The choice of colors is also very important. Dark colors like orange or purple can make people feel irritable or unhappy. With such feelings, they are not likely to do much shopping. Therefore, very dark colors are almost never used in malls. Instead, walls are usually painted in light colors, which make customers feel relaxed and give the mail a spacious feeling.

　　The arrangement of space in the mall is also done with great care. Research shows that most people are unwilling to walk more than two hundred meters to shop. In one of the new giant malls this could be a problem. The walkways in malls can be made curved(彎曲的) or angled to hide their true length. Or they can be broken up by fountains(噴泉), art displays or any of those other things that you thought were just there to entertain you.

1．From this passage we know that malls _____.

[　　]

A．a(chǎn)re where people go for entertainment

B．came into being in the early 1950s in America

C．a(chǎn)re places for art displays and social activities

D．have been perfect places for shopping since they were born

2．According to this passage, a mall with dark-coloured walls _____.

A．is likely to enjoy good business

B．looks peaceful and pleasant

C．costs more to be lighted

D．is likely to have poor business

3．What are the fountains and art displays for in a mall?

[　　]

A．To make the walkways seem shorter as well as entertain the customers.

B．Just to make the customers feel happy when they are taking a rest.

C．To cool the mall so that the customers will buy more.

D．To beautify the mall to attract more customers and children.

4．Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?

[　　]

A．Malls are the best places to do shopping in.

B．The choice of colors is very important in designing malls.

C．Malls are carefully designed to encourage people to buy more and more.

D．Without good service there will be no good business.

　　The age of wealthy youth is over．Today's under-thirties are the first generation for a century who can expect a lower living standard than their parents．

　　Research into the lifestyle and prospects of people born since 1970 shows that they arelikely to face a lifetime of longer working hours, lower job security and higher taxes than the previous generation．

　　When they leave work late in the evening they will be more likely to return to a smallrented flat than to a house of their own．When, eventually, they retire it will be on pensions(養(yǎng)老金)far lower in real terms than those of their immediate ancestors．

　　The findings are revealed in a study of the way the ageing of Britain's population isaffecting different generations．

　　Anthea Tinker, professor of social gerontology at King's College London, who carried out much of the work, said the growth of the proportion(比例)of people over 50 had reversed the traditional flow of wealth from older to younger generations．

　　“Today's older middle-aged and elderly are becoming the new winners,” she said．“Theymade relatively small contributions in tax but now makerelativelybigclaimsonthe welfare system．Generations born in the last three to four decades face the prospect of handing over more than a third of their lifetime's earnings to care for them”．

　　The growing number of older people, many living alone, has also increased demand forproperty and pushed up house prices．While previous generations found it easy to raise a mortgage(抵押), today's under-thirties have to live with their parents or rent．If they can afford to buy a home it is more likely to be a flat than a house．

　　Laura Lenox-Conyngham, 28, grew up in a large house and her mother did not need to work．Unlike her wealthy parents, she graduated with student and postgraduate loan debts of ￡13, 000．She now earns about ￡20,000 a year, preparing food to be photographed for magazines．Her home is a one-bedroom flat in central London and she rents the lounge sofa-bed to her brother．

　　“My father took pity and paid off my student debts,” she said．“But I still have no pensionand no chance of buying a property for at least a couple of years－and then it will be some-thing small in a bad area．My only hope is the traditional one of meeting a rich man．”

　　Tinkers research shows Lenox-Conyngham is representative of many young professionals, especially in London, Manchester, Edinburgh and Bristol．

(1)

By saying “the growth of the proportion of people over 50 had reversed the traditional

flow of wealth from older to younger generations”(Lines 23, Para．5), Anthea Tinker

A．

B．

traditionally wealth flows from younger generation to old generation

C．

with the increasingly big population of over 50, the trend arises that wealth flows

from younger generation to old generation

D．

with more and more people of over 50, traditions have been reversed

(2)

Why are today's older middle-aged and elderly becoming the new winners?

[　　]

A．

Because they made relatively small contributions in tax, but younger generation will possibly hand over more than a third of their lifetime's earnings for the care of them．

B．

Because they contributed a lot in tax and now can claim much on the welfare system．

C．

Because they made small contributions, but now can make money easily．

D．

Because they outnumber(在數(shù)量上超過)younger generation and enjoy more privileges in the present society．

(3)

Which factor pushed up house prices?

[　　]

A．

Many young men, who live alone, have increased demand for houses．

B．

Many young men need to rent more houses．

C．

It is easy to apply for a mortgage for young generation．

D．

The number of older people, many of whom live alone, becomes bigger and bigger．

(4)

today's under-thirties are leading a miserable life in Britain

Laura Lenox-Conyngham's attitude to work and life represents that of many young professionals in Britain
