22、Do you like to shop online? 【1】 Maybe you like to do both these things. Smart shoppers know how to use different methods to get the best price.
One common shopper strategy is “showrooming.” This means that customers go into a store, look at the product, talk to a salesperson, and then use their smartphones or other mobile devices to find a better price. “Reverse showrooming” is another strategy. 【2】 One thing is for certain: shoppers are now using many strategies to get the best price.
The number of online shoppers is rising, but not as fast as retailers (零售商) first thought. People still like to go into stores. Teens especially prefer to shop at the shopping center. 【3】
In order to keep customers coming into stores, managers need to train salespeople well. In-store shoppers want salespeople to give them a lot of attention, be polite, and know a lot about the product.
【4】 At the top of the list are electronic products. It's easy to research these products and compare prices online.
However, online shopping doesn't work for every product. People prefer to shop for food in a store. 【5】 But you still need to drive the car. If you're buying a mattress (床垫), online reviews can't tell you if it will be comfortable for you. You still need to go into the store and lie on it.
A.What products do shoppers like to buy online?
B.With online shopping, you can't try before you buy.
C.Usually the products we find online have better prices.
D.Or do you prefer to go into a store and look at a product?
E.If you're buying a new car, you can research prices online.
F.Shopping for them is not about finding the best price; it's a social experience.
G.Customers first go online to do research and then go into a store to get the product.
23、How to Stop Spam Calls for Good
If you made a list of the little things that bothered you the most, phone call scams would no doubt be at the top. Telemarketers, or more often, automated robot-callers, have tricks for interrupting you at the worst possible moment. 【1】
Fact is that robot-callers are never going to stop trying to reach you. Their schemes bring in hundreds of thousands — if not millions — of dollars annually. And unfortunately, older people are more likely to fall prey to these scams. 【2】
Sign up for the National Do Not Call Registry
Your first move: Join the Federal Trade Commission’s National Do Not Call Registry. You can get on the list by calling 1-888-382-1222 from the phone number you want to register. 【3】 To date, the agency has taken 51 legal actions against companies and telemarketers, recovering $112 million.
Use spam-filtering apps and tech
【4】 A spam-filtering app can give you a second layer of protection and is a good add-on to your overall smartphone security. The app’s makers maintain a large database of user-reported robocalls. When one of those numbers dials you, the app blocks the phone from ringing and informs you the call is spam. Genius!
【5】
You probably know that a caller who insists you owe money to the IRS or says you’ll be arrested if you don’t settle a debt is a scammer. But your 10-year-old kid and your older parents and grandparents may be tricked. And remember: Knowing how to stop spam calls is just one step toward avoiding scams; don’t forget to explain how to stop spam texts to your loved ones, too.
A.Warn family members
B.Report to the police at once
C.Follow these steps to pull the plug on them once and for all.
D.If you have multiple numbers to input, register them at DoNotCall. gov.
E.Spam calls can reach you anytime and anywhere when you use your smartphone.
F.They’re annoying, but that’s not the only reason you should know how to stop spam calls.
G.The National Do Not Call Registry will prevent a lot of unwanted calls, but it won’t stop all of them.
24、We need to be aware of the fact that people around us influence us in subtle ways that may encourage us, or stop us.
The circle of five
Famous speaker Jim Rohn said, “You’re the average of the five people you spend most of your time with.” 【1】 If this “circle” of people is goal-driven, and encouraging, we can experience a positive impact on our actions. On the other hand, if the people around us are negative, we may be affected by these qualities and prevent our own personal growth in the process.
Know your circle
【2】 Be mindful of the conversations you have with people and the activities you engage in with them. What are the opinions that control in your social group? What are the similarities between you and the five people you are constantly close to? If there is a conflict between what you are and where you want to be, look at your circle of five and you will see how they are influencing your path. Identify and avoid wasting time and energy on the worthless people in your circle of five.
【3】
Once you identify the people who belong to your reference group, it is important to develop these relationships. 【4】 Different individuals evolve at a different pace. The important part is to be aware of this living and changing “circle of five”. Let this circle of five motivate you, help you gain courage, and take the right actions.
Remember, just like others influence you, you also make an influence on others. 【5】
A.Change your circle.
B.Develop your circle.
C.Therefore, play this role sincerely.
D.Over time, this core circle may change.
E.Do you know the meaning of the circle?
F.How do you identify who is influencing you?
G.The influence of those around us can be quite significant.
