Shopper 46 is making a decision. Stopwatch in hand, I observe her from behind a cereal display. Shopper 46 has been contemplating bananas for four minutes and 43 seconds. Finally, she moves to place one with minimal brown spots in her cart, changes her mind and quickly de posits the unfit specimen back onto the pile of fruit. Shopper 46 exits the produce department with a bargain tub of banana pudding instead.
Working as a consumer behavior researcher since last summer for Brian Wansink, director of the Cornell University Food and Brand Lab, I have observed thousands of supermarket patrons on the spot from Whole Foods to Safeway. In this economy, people are increasingly trying to save money by eating in. As Americans make the transition from restaurant tables to supermarket aisles, they are making mistakes that translate into unnecessary expenses at the checkout lane.
Grocery. shopping might seem like an ordinary, mechanical activity, but look around next time you’re in the store: Despite our best intentions, we buy food impulsively and irrationally.
We go to the supermarket resolved to watch our pennies and choose healthful foods. But we become lost when we’re confronted with thousands of products and brands. So we end up spending $3.49 on an accidental bag of Doritos, $1.99 on M&M’s. And besides the calories, these wasted dollars add up fast.
You might think that browsing slowly through the store would help you pick out the best products. But our research shows that’s not the case.
The shoppers I studied who took the longest, examining packages, stopping at whatever caught their eye, invariably spent more money. They tumbled stray, often unhealthy, items into their baskets, and later, when questioned, couldn’t cite a reason for the purchases.
It turns out that making up a precise list beforehand and getting the errand done as quickly as possible is the best way to save money. Cutting time cuts costs, as well.
Bananas? Check. Special on Kozy Shack banana pudding? If it wasn’t marked on your grocery list, control your instincts and move on quickly.
There is a misconception among consumers that, if they want to pick out tile best products, they should _______.
选项
答案
browse slowly through the store
解析
第5段的might think 和not the case表明that引导的宾语从句的内容即为misconception的内容,将原文的browsing 改为原形动词browse,就能得到本题答案:browse slowly through the store。
