advice.If you goshopping for food before lunchtime,youll probably buy more than you plan to.Unfortunately,however,just this advice isnt enough fbr consumers these days.Modem shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store.First,you check the weekly newspaper ads.Find out the items that are on sale anddecide if you really need these things.In other words,dont buy anything just becauseits cheaper than usual!New and Improved!,9 or“All Natural“on the front of apackage influence you.Instead,read the list of ingredients(contents)on the back.Third,compare prices:that is,you should examine the prices of both different brandsand different sizes of the same brand.Another suggestion fbr consumers is to buy ordinary items instead of famousbrands.O rdinary items in supermarkets come in plain packages.These products arecheaper because producers dont spend much money on packing or advertising.Thequality,however,is usually as good as the quality of well-known name brands.In thesame way,in buying clothes,you can often find high quality and low prices in brandsthat are not famous.Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot ofmoney.Although these stores arent very attractive,and they usually do not haveindividual dressing rooms,not only are the prices low,but you can often find the samefamous brands that you find in high-priced department stores.Wise consumers read magazine ads and watch TV commercials,but they do thiswith one advantage:knowledge of the psychology behind the ads.In other words,well-informed consumers watch fbr information and check for misinformation.Theyask themselves questions:Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at thebottom of the page?Is there any real information in the commercial,or is theadvertiser simply showing an attractive image?With the answers to these questions,consumers can make a wise choice.main topic:suggestions fbr suggestionsNever go into asupermarketwhen

reasons is small.Pruning involves the cutting away ofovergrown and unwanted branches,and the inexperienced gardener can beencouraged by the thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily thanfrom leaving the tree to grow in its own way.First,pruning may be done to make sure that trees have desired shape or size.The object may be to get a tree of the right height,and at the same time to help thegrowth of small side branches,which will thicken its appearance or give it a specialshape.Secondly,pruning may be done to make the tree healthier.You may cut outdiseased or dead wood,or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus causewounds.The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that areblocking up the center and so preventing the free movement of air.O ne result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this providesan easy entry for disease,but it is a wound that will heal.O ften there is a race betweenthe healing and the disease as to whether the tree will live or die,so that there is aperiod when the tree is at risk.It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce thatrisk of death as far as possible.It is important to make the area,which has beenpruned,smooth and clean,fbr healing will be slowed down by roughness.You shouldallow the cut surface to dry for a few hours and then paint it with one of the materialsavailable from garden shops produced especially fbr this purpose.Pruning is usuallydone in winter,fbr then you can see the shape of the tree clearly without interferencefrom the leaves and also it is very unlikely that the cuts you make will bleed.If thisdoes happen,it is,of course,impossible to paint them properly.1.necessary 2.Reasons 3.result 4.risk 5.desired6.healthier 7.providing

reflected in the nation9s best universities,wheremathematics,science,and engineering departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character.Their preference for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that Asian-Americanstudents who began their education abroad arrived in the U.S.with a solid foundation inmathematics but little or no knowledge of English.They are also influenced by the promise of agood job after college.Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics andscience because they will be judged more objectively.And the return on
