This Is Why Most Grocery Stores Lack Windows

When you’re grocery shopping, have you noticed that supermarkets often lack windows, and if they have them, they’re only at the front of the store? You may     1     pay attention to the architectural features of the building because you’re there to shop for food, not admire the layout.

But that’s the point. If grocery stores had windows, would it be easier to ignore your main shopping task? There are all sorts of supermarket     2     grocery stores have to keep you shopping longer. It’s no     3     that grocery stores often lack windows and there are a few reasons behind this trend.

One of them is a (n)     4     to keep people inside longer. Stores want to create a separate environment within their store where the outside world doesn’t exist.

Having windows in stores would also reduce the space     8     to display products. Not to mention,     9     with strong structural supports, outside walls can hold the heavier items on the shelves of those walls.

Due to the high cost of constructing windows and storefronts, along with the potential security risks they probably     10    , retailers (零售商) choose to minimize the number of entry points into their space in order to cut expenses and improve safety.

As midnight approaches in Svalbard, a young polar bear climbs onto an iceberg (冰山) and carves himself a temporary bed before falling asleep. This peaceful moment, capturing the essence of Earth’s delicacy, was taken by Nima Sarikhani, who won Wildlife Photographer of the Year People’s Choice Award, which is decided by public vote.

Sarikhani, from the UK, spent three days searching Norway’s Svalbard islands in the hope of catching sight of these symbolic Arctic (北极的) animals. He was finally rewarded with the sight of both an older and younger male shortly after his ship changed course. Sarikhani seized the chance to take a photo of the younger bear sleeping on the iceberg — a scene that not only awakens the bond between an animal and its habitat, but also the need to act on global challenges like climate change and habitat loss.

These days, the sight of a lone polar bear on melting ice is a familiar symbol of the impact of climate change. But that is for a good reason: global warming is having a particularly rapid effect on the Arctic, which is heating up at a rate three times as high as that of the average around the world. Among those hardest hit are these bears, which are increasingly threatened by the reduction in sea ice cover that they rely on to hunt and raise young.

Though his photo is intended to arouse emotion in those who see it, Sarikhani is optimistic that with the right actions, it isn’t too late for polar bears. The image will be displayed in an exhibition at the Natural History Museum, London, along with the competition’s four runners-up, until 30 June.

1. Sarikhani’s journey in Svalbard can be described as ______.

3. According to the last paragraph, what’s Sarikhani’s hope for the impact of his photo?

A．To arouse people’s sadness for the scene.

B．To motivate people to protect polar bears.

C．To attract more visitors to the Arctic.

D．To boost the popularity of the exhibition.

4. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

10 . Read the text below. Is your supermarket plan similar to this?
●Fruit and vegetables are normally close to the entrance. This makes people think they are going into an open-air market and makes them feel positive.
●Stores are usually decorated in colors that make people feel healthy and happy. All the supermarkets belonging to one company have the same colors to make people feel at home.
●A person blinks(眨眼) an average of 32 times a minute. US research has shown that a certain type of lighting can reduce this to 14 times a minute. This can make customers feel sleepy, and they then
buy more goods.
●Goods placed at the end of an aisle (走廊) often sell five times more than those placed in the middle of the aisle. Stores often move goods that they particularly want to sell, such as those nearing their sell-by date, to these sites.
●Most shoppers buy bread, so the bakery counter is situated as far away from the entrance as possible. Customers will have to walk past hundreds of other products to reach it.
●Drinks are usually located near the exit. Supermarkets hope that customers will buy because they are in a good mood as they finish their shopping experience.
●Silence makes shoppers feel uncomfortable. Supermarkets like to make sure that there is quite a lot of pleasant background noise.
●Security cameras are not just for catching shoplifters. Supermarkets also follow a few shoppers through the shop so that they can observe what routes people take. This information helps them to rearrange their products to appeal to more customers.
