A team of researchers, led by Akshay Rao of University of Minnesota, looked at consumers’ (2)_____ to discounting. Shoppers, they found, much prefer getting something extra free to getting something cheaper. The main reason is that most people are(3)_____ at fractions.
Consumers often struggle to realise,(4)_____, that a 50% increase in(5)_____ is the same as a 33% discount in price. They(6)_____ assume the former is better value.

In another experiment, this time on his undergraduates, Mr. Rao offered two deals on loose coffee beans: 33% extra free or 33%(10)_____ the price.

选项
A、quick
B、skillful
C、dumb
D、weak
答案
D
解析
打折实际上是更省钱的,但人们不爱打折爱赠品,此处说明原因。空格后的fractions本指“分数”,这里引申为算术,故填入weak“弱的”。指大部分人不擅长数学。quick“迅速的”:skillful“熟练的”;dumb“笨的”则过于绝对。
