Grocery store design is a carefully crafted art from both psychological and marketing standpoints, according to Reeves Connelly,     1     studied architectural design at the Pratt Institute. He explained there is a reason why fruit and vegetables are often located at the front of the store, “You’ll grab them first and then     2     (hope) feel less guilty about buying junk food later on.” Meanwhile, essential items such as milk and eggs     3     (place) at the back of the store to ensure customers walk through other aisles with many unhealthy options, potentially     4     (increase) the likelihood of impulse purchases.

There’s also a reason why you often feel lost in local supermarkets. They move things around. Reeves explained, “They are well aware that these strategies become less effective after you visit the store a few times, so they’ll regularly move the     5     (produce) to different aisles to confuse you. The practice is not limited to     6     specific store but is employed across     7     (vary) retail chains.”

“Their little tricks always work on me,” one regular shopper admitted, “I walk in to get three things and end     8     spending $300,” he said. On the other hand, some shoppers are proud to declare they have never fallen into the trap. “That’s why I always keep a shopping list on     9     (I),” another shopper shared.” “I’ve started having my groceries     10     (deliver),” he added.

The Apple Watch sold 31 million units worldwide in 2019, while the figure for all Swiss watch brands combined     1    (be) 21 million units, according to research from consulting from Strategy Analytics.

Analysts are divided on whether this signal a     2    (warn)for the Swiss watch industry,with some saying the watch industry of the country is on the way     3    .Others point out     4     the mechanical watches certified in Switzerland are still bringing in     5    (much)revenue than the Apple Watch.

“The Apple Watch     6    (emerge)as a status symbol of its own since its debut in 2007, and offers a     7    (compete)alternative to mid-range Swiss watches.”

“People have embraced the Apple Watch as a solution to     8    (bring)tech and fashion together,” said Carolina Milanesi, a tech analyst at research from Creative Strategies. Milanesi noted that Apple&apose, with its core focus on health and fitness, positioned its products     9    (different)from the Swiss watches which     10    (design)for potential market as jewelry and fashion accessories.

It is true that people in many nations like to use the products     1    (produce) in other countries. Firstly, a wide range of products from abroad attract people to try them. In other words, people     2    (live) in their own country for a long time, familiar with the local goods and because of that, they are more curious     3     the new foods that come from other nations. As a result, an     4    (increase) number of imported foods are consumed in some countries. Secondly, people usually think that foods from other countries have better quality and those foods will have positive     5    (effect) on their health. For example, in Vietnam, parents try to buy milk from other countries, such as Korean, Japan, America and Australia, because they think that the products will be better for their children’s     6    (grow).

However, I think the government should take measures to encourage people     7    (use) the foods in their own country. Firstly, companies need to produce foods in a new way     8     can meet the interest of local people.     9    (addition), the foods can be sold with other small products as a gift. What’s more, advertisements on TV or the Internet must be produced in     10     attractive way.

Du Wei, co-founder of Zeblaze, a company     1     a variety of smartwatches are made in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, sent a new batch of these products to the warehouses (仓库) before Spring Festiyal.

“We prepared 10,000 watches in advance for Chinese New Year. To my surprise, all of them sold out via online marketplaces during the weeklong holiday, and our sales increased     2     more than 200 percent year-on-year,” Du said, adding that most of the company’s customers come from Europe, North America, Latin America and Southeast Asia.

Increasing sales were also reported by Chinese home appliance giant Midea Group for itsfloor cleaning robots, with orders     3     (receive) more often this year from Spain, France and Russia through AliExpress, Alibaba Group’s business-to-customer platform.

Like Zeblaze and Midea, tens of thousands of vendors (供应商) based in China now sell their products     4     (global) through cross-border e-commerce platforms. Meanwhile, more Chinese     5     (brand) are gaining popularity among overseas consumers, which experts said is an affirmation (肯定) of the country’s manufacturing and supply chain capabilities.

Cui Lili, director of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics’ Institute of E-commerce, said the popularity in overseas markets of products made in China shows these cost-effective commodities have gained wide     6     (recognize) and raised brand reputationabroad in recent years. “In the past Chinese consumers usually     7     (tend) to buy imported and foreign-branded products, but nowadays, China’s major online shopping festivals have become more international,     8     (have) a greater influence on overseas shoppers who are increasingly willing to buy Chinese brands via cross-border e-commerce platforms,” Cui said. Faced with emerging opportunities, Cui said Chinese companies should make full use of cross-border e-commerce platforms to quickly grasp demands from overseas markets, learn more about closely     9     (relevance) laws, regulations and quality standards in these countries, and adjust supply chains to make products that meet local requirements.

Amazon Global Selling, which helps Chinese merchants sell their products abroad, said that     10     nation’s vendors are paying more attention to building brands and expanding their presence in overseas markets, given the rapid growth of cross-border e-commerce.

Britain could become the second country in the world to have a monument removed from world heritage status by UNESCO. That monument is Liverpool's awesome waterfront.

Located in the northwest of England, Liverpool's waterfront is a world-famous coastal communications port,     1     (witness) the development of the world's major trading centers in the 18^th to 19^th centuries.

However, the city is facing     2     great challenge despite its colorful culture. It remains one of England's finest cities, and     3     (recognize) as such by UNESCO in 2004. But for half a century, its architectural personality had been abused. Hundreds of acres of historic inner suburbs have been flattened and still lie empty and     4     (desert). The whole streets are boarded up. What makes the famous Three Graces buildings on the waterfront almost out of sight, are towers and flats of wild and ugly     5     (scene). Now the sight of a further 60 hectares of 1990s-style offices and flats is     6     has horrified UNESCO.

This is not     7     (simple) a matter of aesthetics (美学). Respecting history is now recognized as holding the key     8     long-term urban renewal.

"We are terribly sad that we are losing our culture and root. I hate     9     when we will take a last look at it before it     10     (disappear)," said an aged citizen in Liverpool.

A new survey from Britain shows that a third, of young unemployed people     1    (regular) fall apart. Without a job, they are so anxious that they cannot control their emotions, so they have problems     2    (live) a “normal” life. The survey is from a youth charity     3    (call) the Prince’s Trust. Its researchers made a survey among 2,200 people         4     didn’t have jobs. Almost half of them said they often felt anxious about everyday situations because they had few choices     5    (enjoy) life. One in eight of those surveyed said they were too     6    (stress) to leave the house.

Britain’s Employment Minister Esther McVey said, “Our young people are some of the best and most talented in the world.” She also said that these people should     7    (match) with the right jobs. Researcher David Fass added, “Young people are our future and we should provide them     8     the tools they need to reach their full potential.” Jack,25, explained how hard     9     was for him to be unemployed. He said, “During that period, I was unwilling to leave the house. I stopped speaking to my friends and I had no     10    (confident) in communicating with people.”
