系统解析：A typical large supermarket offers around 17 thousand to 20 thousand items for sale. (26) And it wants to make sure that its customers see as many of them as possible. That's why you normally find essential goods like bread, vegetables and meat in completely different parts of the store. (27) Products with a high profit margin are always placed on shelves within easy reach of the customer while lower margin items like sugar or flour are on the top or bottom shelves. (28) Many people make shopping lists before they visit supermarkets. But even so, around 60% of all supermarket purchases are the results of the decisions taken in the store. For this reason, supermarkets try to attract their customers by placing certain kinds of products next to each other. In the UK, beer would often be found next to items for babies because research shows that fathers of babies buy them on their way home from work and will buy beer at the same time. Research has also showed that this kind of impulse- buy happens more frequently when no sales assistant are nearby. (29) Supermarkets have made selling such a fine art that their customers often lose all sense of time. When interviewed, customers normally guess they've only spent half an hour in the supermarket even when they have been there for over 45 minutes, but that shouldn't be too surprising. Any witty profitable supermarket knows that they should keep its clocks well hidden.

系统解析：(30) When Mattie Salon was working on a degree in arts and technology at university, he got an interesting assignment in electronics class - create something for the household. He decided to create an alarm clock. "Everybody has to use an alarm clock of some kind every day, and it's extremely unpleasant," he says. (31) He asked different people what they'd like to wake up to instead of a noisy alarm. A lot of them said the smell of bacon. So Salon invented a new kind of alarm clock. (32) A wooden box with a pig face and a digital clock that uses the smell of cooking bacon rather than sound to wake someone up. He explains, there is no danger of burning because I build it carefully. It uses a light bulb instead of flame for cooking and turns off automatically after 10 minutes. Just a few easy steps are required to set the alarm. "What you do is put in a couple of frozen stripes the night before," says Salon, "Bacon is preserved so there is no danger of spoiling over night." "If you set the alarm for 8 O'clock, it will turn on at 7:50 and slow cook for ten minutes under the bulbs." he says. "Then the bulbs turn off and the fan blows the smell out through the nose of the pig, so instead of an alarm, you smell yourself awake," says Salon, and then you can open the door on the side and pull the bacon out and eat it.

系统解析：Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. For some people though, loneliness can last for years. Physiologists are studying this complex phenomenon and have identified three different types of loneliness. The first kind of loneliness is temporary. It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. (33) The second kind situational loneliness is a natural result of a particular situation, for example,a divorce or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, it usually does not lasts more than a year. Unlike the second type, the third kind of loneliness usually lasts more than 2 years and has no specific cause. (34) People who experienced habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many of them think there is little or nothing they can do about it. Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person's social contacts, for example, friends, family members etc. We depend on various people for different reasons. For instance, our families give us emotional supports and our friends share similar interest and activities. However psychologists have found that the number of social contacts we have is not the only reason for loneliness. (35) It's more important how many social contacts we think or expect we should have. In other words, though lonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more, they question their own popularity.
