Bert loved sports and was an enthusiastic Yankees ( an American professional baseball team based in the New York City ) fan, so it was no wonder that over the years, he was an avid (热切的)listener to WFAN radio and, in particular, the afternoon show hosted by Mike Francesa.Bert had health issues in his later years that limited his mobility, and when he lost his eyesight three years ago, his attachment to his radio and Francesa became more pronounced. He just loved listening to Mike talk about sports and his Yankees each afternoon. Those hours brought him so much pleasure.Of course, Mike will be leaving Dec. 15, 2017 after 30 years at the station. Mike lives in the same community where I work on Long Island, and I have gotten to know him over the past 20 years. So when my father-in-law was approaching his special birthday the year before last year, I asked Mike for a favor: to call Bert and wish him a happy birthday.Mike agreed without hesitation. Two days before the special day, Mike stopped at my workplace. I called Bert at his nursing home and put Mike on the phone. It was a complete surprise to Bert. Mike spent more than 10 minutes wishing Bert a happy birthday, and of course, talking about the Yankees.When my family celebrated Bert's birthday two days later, he couldn't stop talking about the phone call. Over his lifetime, he said it was one of the nicest things anyone had ever done for him.Unfortunately, Bert's health declined last year and he passed away July 13, 2017.

Everyone agrees that day is a holiday, but is it just to celebrate George Washington's Birthday? What about Abraham Lincoln? Some government offices call it Presidents9 Day. Others say the holiday is officially Washington's Birthday. Confused yet?George Washington was elected the country's first President on April 30, 1789. Soon after, Americans began publicly celebrating his birthday. Presidential historians say the actual date of George Washington's birth is February 11, 1732. But a change in the calendar system 20 years later shifted all dates, making Washington's birthday February 22, which is now well accepted. In 1879, Congress made Washington's birthday an official federal holiday. It was the first federal holiday to celebrate an individual's birthday. In 1968, Congress passed the Monday Holidays Act, which moved the holiday to the third Monday in February. The new law did not change the holiday's name. It was still called Washington's Birthday, even though some lawmakers wanted to call it Presidents9 Day to include Abraham Lincoln, whose actual birthday is February 12.Many people argue that the holiday should celebrate all past Presidents. They feel Lincoln should be honored for his role in preserving the nation during the Civil War and helping to free slaves. Others feel the holiday should only honor Washington, the country's first President. They say shifting the focus away from Washington would mean future generations of kids would not know about the Father of Our Country.Laws have been introduced in Congress over the years to require use of the term ” George Washington's Birthday. n but none of those laws have been passed. Meanwhile, many state governments and school districts now use the term ” Presidents9 Day. n Many stoles also use it to promote holiday sales.Should the holiday honor Washington, Washington and Lincoln, or all past Presidents?

Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics （策略）.One tactic involves where to display the goods. For example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food （垃圾食品）later in their trip. In department stores, the women's shoe section is generally next to the women's cosmetics （化女品）section: while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over and find some cosmetics they might want to try later.Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers, senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, so they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wines went up.When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $ 10 million houses.1、Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?A.To save customers time.B.To show they are high quality foods.C.To help sell junk food.D.To sell them at discount prices.2、According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy?A.Opening the store early in themorning.B.Displaying British wines next to Frenchones.C.Inviting customers to play music.D.Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.3、What is the California builder's story intended to prove?A.
