The “Double Eleven” Shopping Festival is one of the largest shopping festivals in China. Last year, the festival went on for eleven days. Alibaba alone saw 498.2 billion yuan in trade.
Many people believe such large shopping festivals can help them (71)s_______ lots of money. After all, many stores do discount(打折) their goods. But if you take a second look at the sale prices, you'll find that many of them end in “9” or “5.99 minutes.” In our everyday life, we (72)r_______ say “Just give me 5.99 minutes,” it’s not common to say “Just give me 59 minutes,” either. We are more likely to say “Just give me six minutes” and “just give me 60 minutes”. Why do stores prefer the other way round?
According to Lee E. Hibbett, a professor of marketing, this pricing strategy(策略) has been around for about a century. No one knows who invented it. However, stores all like it. Prices that end in “.99” and “9” simply get more customers.
The strategy(策略) is based on the (73)f_______ that we read from left to right. On a price tag(标签), the number on the far left impresses us the most. So, even though 5. 99 dollars is pretty (74)c______ to 6 dollars, it’s the “5” that impresses us most. A product that sells for 5.99 dollars just seems like a better deal than a similar one that sells for 6 dollars.
In a 2016 study, Hibbett, a professor of marketing asked a clothing company to (75)r_______ the price of one of its dresses. He and his workmates all thought fewer people would buy the dress. The result, however, (76)s________ them. Demand(需求) increased by a third. Increasing the price from $34 to $44 made no difference at all.
So be (77)c_______ with prices that end in “9” or “.99”. They may make you spend more money!

Read the comments about changes in the future. How much do you agree with them?
These days, some people work at home one or two days a week instead of going to an office every day. I think in the future a lot more people will work from home all the time.

Anna Du was walking along the beach when she noticed plastics there. She reached down to pick them up, and quickly realized there were many more tiny pieces than she could deal with. It seemed (71)i to clean them all up.
Du,12 years old at the time, tried to solve the problem like any good scientist-first, by doing a little (72)r . She conducted surveys and searched for information. That’s how she learned that 8 million tons of plastics end up in the oceans every year.
Then she got to work building something that could help solve the problem: a remote-operated vehicle（遥控潜水器）-ROV. Her ROV can move through water and find plastics on the ocean floor.
The actually cool part of Du’s ROV is the detection（探测）system．She uses a (73)c along with three different kinds of light to find the plastics through pictures. She also uses visible（可见的）light to find unnatural colors that might make the plastics stand out.
“She has a very good engineering sense to break down a problem like this and then go after it,” says engineer Casey Machado.“It sounds (74) s , but it’s a level of thinking that’s really difficult.”
Du started attending public events and workshops at a university when she was five years old, and so she picked up the engineering skills necessary to build her ROV. She says actually getting her ROV to move through water well was not easy. She (75)f many times, but she never gave up trying and testing.

Du thanks her parents, who for years have taken her to student outreach activities, for supporting her interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). She says she has been able to meet students and scientists there.

Stomach flu is a common disease. It spreads easily, which makes it hard to avoid. That’s (71) e______ true if someone in your family has it.

Once you’re feeling better, don’t return to work or school right away. You can (76)s______ spread the disease for a few days after you feel better. If you have a fever, wait at least 24 hours after it ends before going out. This will help protect other people from getting sick.

Can living a zero-waste lifestyle be true? One New Yorker is providing it’s not only possible, but it looks fun as well.
The New Yorker, Ms. Singer didn’t grow up in a really “green” home. “My family isn’t like this at all,” she said. “They were the least (71)f________ to environment ever.” The idea to have a no-waste life didn’t come to her mind until she learned environmental studies’ at university.
In 2013, Ms. Singer decided to (72)c________ as little rubbish as possible. She liked going to the farmers’ market, where she began shopping by giving up packaging. She learned how to store food in her apartment to keep it (73)f________ longer. All food she couldn’t finish went into a large bowl in her fridge, which she emptied once a week at her plants. She would (74)r________ glass bottles to buy milk, beer and only buy other items that usually come in paper boxes. She also began to buy clothes at secondary shops instead of buying new ones. Ms. Singer even began finding out how to make her own cleaning (75)p________, from toothpaste to house cleaner, from toilet paper to washing powder. She’s proudly living a no-waste life.
Bit by bit, Ms. Singer was (76)h________ making any non-recyclable rubbish. In fact, every piece of rubbish she’s got over the last three years stays in a single jar. “It’s baby steps, int thing after another,” she said. After she had a quick reduction in her rubbish pile, she started a company. She and her staff travel around the world sharing her (77)s________ and introducing her zero-waste lifestyle. Maybe, there will be more Singers all around the world.
