    In ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics（策略）.

    One tactic involves where to display the goods. Foe 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, section is generally next to the women's cosmetics(化妆品) section：while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over 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, 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 wine went up.

    When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decision in the first few second 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 poll through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.

    On that particular day after I finished giving my training course, I took a flight home. Upon1the plane, I noticed a boy who was around eight years old, sitting in the window seat2 mine. Trying my best to be 3, I said “hello” and introduced myself, and he told me his name was Bradley. We started a4 and within minutes, he took me into his confidence, saying, “This is the first time I have ever been on a plane. I'm a little bit 5.” I managed to 6 him.

    As we ascended (上升), he looked out of the window and started describing excitedly everything he was 7. Then he told me he needed to go to the bathroom, 8 I stood up to let him out into the aisle.

Sitting back down, he 10, “I have muscular dystrophy(肌肉萎缩症), and so does my sister, who's in a 11 now.”

    As we descended (下降), he looked over, smiled, and spoke in a low, almost 12 voice, “You know, I was really13 about who would sit beside me on the plane. I was afraid it would be someone who didn't want to 14 with me. I'm so 15 I sat beside you.”

    Of the several films Hirokazu has made about childhood and children, this one is the most modest, but no less pleasing for its delicate style and small setting. I Wish was originally called Miracle, and the change is for the better. The two-word title makes you want to know who's wishing for what, while the single word sounds plain and self-praising. This wise and funny film works small miracles in describing such a moment when kids turn from the wishfulness of childhood into shaping the world for themselves.

    The sweetly reflective hero, a sixth-grader named Koichi, starts out by wishing for a volcano to erupt. Not just any volcano, but the one that towers above his town, smoking heavily and giving off ash. An eruption would lead to a withdrawing, which would lead, at least in his mind, to a reunion with his father and kid brother, who've been living in Hakata while Koichi lives with his mother and retired grandparents in Kagoshima. The volcano, knowing nothing of this, refuses to erupt, but Koichi hears of another approach to realizing the desired miracle.

    One of the pleasures of I Wish is watching how kids behave—how Koichi attacks his dinner, for example. Another pleasure is rediscovering how kids think. These kids can be logical and ever so tricky. But children's thought processes can also be fancy. A boy wishes he could play baseball like one of baseball stars, who eats curry for breakfast; so he, too, starts eating curry for breakfast, instead of practicing on the field. Another boy tries to wish his dead dog, Marble, back to life. And what does Koichi finally wish for? I wish you'd see this delightful film to find out.

    Why is setting goals important? Because goals can help you do, be, and experience everything you want in life.1just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen. Successful people2how their life should be and set lots of goals. By setting goals, you are3your life. It's like having a4to show you where you want to go. Think of it this way. There are5drivers. One has a destination in mind (her goal) which can be found on a map. She can drive straight there without any6time or wrong turns. The other driver has no goal or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver,7she drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just8gas. Which driver do you want to be? Winners in life set goals and follow through on them. They decide what they want in life and then get there by making9and setting goals. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren't difficult to set and they aren't difficult to reach. It's up to you to find out what your goals really are. You must know what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life, or you'll be 10.

    It was a summer afternoon and some boys were playing together in a park. They knew each other well, as they  (spend) the last three years of school together and tomorrow was the start of a new term, about  they were excited and nervous.

    The first day of school came, and all the boys from the park the day before were put in the same class  coincidence. They jumped for joy all morning long. After lunch, the teacher came into the classroom with a boy and it was evident they had never seen him before.

    All the children were quiet, (wait) for the teacher to speak. And she said: “Hello everyone, this is Mei Pei from China, our newest class member. Mei Pei knows some English so I hope you will treat him as if he (be) your brother.”

    Then one child said to Mei Pei: “How come you speak (different)?” Meipei answered: “In my country, we all talk this way. On other hand, we're just the same as you. I wish I (speak) English as well as you in three months.”

    The children in the class understood this, and that it also didn't matter what he looked like, or what colour his skin was, or that he didn't speak perfect English.

    So the new (add) to the class helped everyone learn how to respect new people. And the boys stayed in the same class for another two years, with Meipei as one of their best friends.

    Can you find your way to wealth and success?Napoleon Hill believes that if you have the right thoughts you can. In nineteen thirty-seven, after many years of researching business success, he published the book Think and Grow Rich. Even though it was published in the middle of the Great Depression(大萧条), it was immediately successful. Forbes magazine says it has been sold seventy million copies since it first appeared.

    SmarterComics has published a version(版本) with pictures of the book. Franco Arda is the company's founder and publisher, who wanted to create picture books that could increase understanding. His version provides much of the information that is in full-length books but in an easy-to-understand form.

    Mr Arda says, "Readers will understand and remember more about gaining success if they read the comic book version of Think and Grow Rich. Because it's pictured, it's easier to read and it's also easier to remember. Once you see something interesting, your brain can take it in much quicker and then you can remember it much longer. "

    Mr Arda says he first read Think and Grow Rich when he was a teenager. The book was credited(把……归因于)to much of his financial success—it taught him to change the way he thought about money and success.

    Mr Arda adds Napoleon Hill found that you must write down what you want to achieve, how and when you want to achieve it and what you are willing to lose for it. Napoleon Hill said you must read that statement out loud every morning when you woke up and every evening before you went to sleep.

    Mr Arda thinks Think and Grow Rich shows that "Wealth is sure to be gotten by believing in personal ideas, and anyone can realise his dream by refusing to be stopped by sudden problems. "
