3 . Most people who live in Seattle, Washington, love their city. There is a never-ending flow of fun things to do. But, people who live there do not always enjoy the day-after-day absence of sunshine during the winter months.

It is a documented fact that sunshine(or lack of it)plays a major role in how each of us greets the day. It also affects how we perform at school or work. When people are deprived of sunlight, they can develop seasonal affective disorder, which makes it difficult for them to feel happy or get things accomplished. No major city in the United States is more affected by the “sunshine factor” than Seattle.

To fight drizzle and fog during the winter months, Steve Murphy created a business that is very popular among the locals. The Indoor Sun Shoppe is more than a little ray of sunshine during the grey days of Seattle’s winter. His shop offers a huge source of plants and artificial lighting for people who are trying to overcome seasonal affective disorder.

Located in Fremont, Washington, The Indoor Sun Shoppe has an amazing collection of exotic(奇异的)plants and “good bugs” in a humid and well-lit environment. At The Indoor Sun Shoppe, you can spend up to $400 for artificial lighting that will chase away the winter blues. It will also keep your plants healthy. You can buy a dawn simulator(模拟器)that will gradually fill your room with a warming wake-up glow. What better way to greet a Seattle morning when real sunshine is nothing more than a happy thought!

Murphy’s in-home waterfalls are also popular with customers. But his plants and lights remain the “main course”. On a cloudy winter day, The Indoor Sun Shoppe is a bright spot in Seattle!

5 . When you’re in the market to buy a cheap laptop, there are many factors to consider. Do you want to go with a refurbished(翻新的) laptop or a new one? Are you willing to give up some features for a cheap laptop?     1    

Decide what features you need. If you are only going to be using your new laptop for word processing, connecting to the Internet, and email, you can save much more than someone who will need a laptop capable of supporting gaming etc.     2    

Do you want a Netbook or a Notebook? Netbooks are the new option for smaller, cheaper laptops.     3     However, they are limited in their functionality. If you know what you will be using your new laptop for, you can get one that best suits your needs.

Choose an appropriate processor.     4     If you go with a cheap laptop, you should make sure the processor is fast enough to support your everyday work.

Check the memory. Just as with the processor, cheap laptops are generally going to have less memory. If you are using your new laptop in a limited way, this may be just fine for you. Be sure to check that the memory will be enough for your everyday uses.

    5     If you’re looking for a cheap laptop that will store a lot of information, definitely pay attention to the hard drive capacity. You may be able to get a great deal but may have to pay for it with limited storage space.

A．Find a cheap laptop.

B．Check the hard drive capacity.

C．The processor will determine how fast your laptop will run.

D．They usually start at around $300 and are much easier to transport.

E．By knowing what features you need, you can significantly cut the cost.

F．All of these can influence your decision when you buy a laptop.

G．When in the market to buy a cheap laptop, looks aren’t always a major factor.

The trick that makes you overspend

When you buy a cup of coffee, you might have noticed that of the three size choices — small, medium and large — the medium-sized serving often costs almost as much as the large.     1     (get) a good buy, have you ever chosen the biggest and most expensive? If so, you have been tricked by the “decoy effect”, in which the deliberate presentation of an additional, slightly     2     (attractive) choice-in this case, the relatively expensive medium-sized coffee pushes you to pay out more money than you would have sensibly chosen.

The decoy effect shows us just     3     easily our judgement is influenced by the context     4     the facts are presented with additional irrelevant information.

However,     5     you have learned about the decoy effect, you may become less influenced unconsciously. You may even discover ways to put it to your own use     6     a tool for persuasion. If you     7     (discuss) travel plans with friends, for instance, and haven't decided yet where to go, you might present two choices (可供选择的安排) at your city, but one with a slightly more expensive hotel.     8     your friends might have otherwise selected a different location, the comparison might just lead them to choose the one you like.

Just don’t be a victim of decoy effect yourself. whether you are buying headphones or deciding on a retirement plan, ask     9     whether you are buying the one you really need or whether you are distracted by a seemingly attractive selling point. Like an expert sniper (狙击手) trained to avoid being targeted, you     10     find that your judgement suddenly becomes a lot more sensible.

10 . Christmas is long gone and Valentine’s Day is a distant memory. That means it’s a slow time for jewelers, and a good time for you to make a purchase. Whether you’re out shopping for gold, or silver, here are a few things you need to know:

What determines price?

The purity of the metal is one of the elements that determines the price. Gold purity is indicated with a stamp of 10K, 14K, 18K, or 24K. And different countries have their own standards. For example, for a piece to be considered gold in the US, it must be at least 10K. In Britain and Canada: 9K. In Italy and France: l8K. Anything over l8K is really too soft for everyday wear. That’s why jewelry stores in the US sell mostly 14K.

How much can you expect to pay?

That depends on the weight of the metal and the gemstone(宝石). So keep that in mind, especially when buying online. To keep yourself from getting ripped off, ask yourself the following:

●How long has the company been around?

●What is its return policy?

● Is the jewelry featured on the website visible from all directions?

● Is the company transparent with the gram weights and the size of the gemstones?

Yellow gold? White? Rose?

Yes, it’s confusing, and while this is largely a personal decision, there are a few things to keep in mind. For starters. white or rose gold costs about l 0% more than yellow gold. If you want the “look for less”, consider gold plated jewelry. “Gold plated” and “gold overlay” mean the same thing and guarantee a thicker layer of finish than “vermeil” which is a flash finish that is thinner and less consistent, but more affordable. Buy vermeil finished pieces you want for a season or two just to follow the fashion. For pieces you want to wear for a lifetime, solid gold is best.

What about sterling silver(标准纯银)?

Sterling silver has been an alternative for white gold during the difficult economy, and while it used to be more popular with just the younger these days it has much more mass appeal. So much so that retailers are now offering fine gemstones with silver-something you used to see only with gold.

Keep in mind that in the US. the sterling silver standard is 92.5% real silver. Don’t buy it if there isn’t a “925” stamp on it. And keep in mind that the lower price you’re paying for silver means more maintenance. To keep silver jewelry from becoming less shiny, consider keeping a piece of chalk in your jewelry box.
