21、   Pricing is more than number; it’s series of integrated (综合的) strategies. For most businesses, managers put a great deal of effort into making and marketing their products, but where many fall short is in transforming the value they create into profits.

All too often critical pricing decisions prove ill-considered. Many companies base pricing primarily on their costs, leaving money on the table in the form of hidden profits. In reality they could make more if they focused instead on the value they deliver to customers. Baseball fans are willing to pay over $100 for a ticket stub (票根) for the baseball game in which Cal Ripkin broke Lou Gehrigs’ record of playing 2,160 games in succession. For them, these tickets have a collector’s value which far exceeds the admission cost charged that day to enter the ballpark.

A product’s cost simply represents the floor or minimum price that should be charged. Everything charged above that floor is obtained from the perceived value in the mind of the purchaser. Think about how diverse people are. It would be surprising to find two people who value the same product identically. Value is highly subjective and intensely personal. Thus a clearly inter-linking, data-backed value analysis is the key to developing a worthwhile pricing structure.

Adjusting your price with value and adopting multi-price mindset are the fundamentals of pricing for profits and growth. The traditional search for the perfect price has to be replaced with a multi-price mindset. One price simply is not the best. What is required is a series of strategies to benefit from each customer’s unique valuation of a product. For example, managers in Carribean attractions know vacationers from snow-covered Boston will value their hotel rooms more highly in January than those from sunny Florida. Therefore, they advertise their rooms for $350 a day in Boston newspapers if you ring up and use the promotional code “Boston”. But if you were to use the code “Florida” instead, you might get the same rooms for $250 a day—the price quoted Florida advertisements.

23、   My violin is like a soul mate that whispers words of wisdom to me. Together, we’ve gone through both tears and happiness.

About 12 years ago, I made acquaintance with it following an order from my mom. Many hours of boredom were spent practicing it. And to make things worse, the disappointment in my teacher’s eyes as I played the wrong notes was like an invisible hammer, striking on my heart. One day, I finally decided: I hate it!

By chance, things changed when I was seven. I was at home lying on the sofa, wondering how those famous violinists dealt with this terrible dilemma. I searched online for the E-minor Concerto, a well-known violin work by German composer Felix Mendelssohn, and listened to it.

A beautiful and mysterious sound came from the violin as the bow moved across it. It was like the music slid over the flowers, rose up, and started to fill the air. The violin’s voice woke up the sun, made the trees green, and freshened the air. As the music changed, the sky turned back to gray. A gloomy shade covered the grass as all the sunshine disappeared. I could hear children crying and men shouting. It was like an invisible claw had grabbed my heart tightly, making it unable to beat.

That glorious day set off my passion and interest in violin — I grabbed mine and never let it go. Before the memories faded, I stared at my instrument. Without hesitating, I picked it up, rosined(用松香擦) the bow, and began to play. Peace filled my heart.

My violin has been by my side for 12 years. When I feel happy, an energetic tune makes it even better; when I’m deep in sorrow, a peaceful tune washes it away, when I’m walking on air, feeling especially pleased with my achievements, solemn(庄严的) tunes calm me down. Gradually, it has become a part of my life.

My violin, shall I compare you to a summer’s day?

【1】What further contributed to the author’s dislike of violin-playing?

A.Orders from mum. B.Boredom of practice.

C.Loss of passion for violin. D.Disappointment in the teacher’s eyes.

【2】What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?

A.The author’s feeling was continuously influenced by the music.

B.The weather actually changed because of the tune.

C.The sudden change made the author’s heart unable to beat.

D.The scenery outside the room was quite attractive.

【3】Why did the author pick up the violin again?

A.The invisible hammer and claw are gone.

B.The beautiful imagination changed his attitude.

C.A famous tune aroused his interest and passion.

D.He was crazy about Felix Mendelssohn’s works.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A.Deep love for music B.My dislike and like of violin

C.An inspiring story of violin D.Musical soul mate—violin

24、In 2017, Yazd, a city in the desert of central Iran, was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Yazd has long been a focal point for creative inventiveness. It is home to an underground refrigeration structure called yakchat   and an underground irrigation system called qanats. In addition, the city has the wind catcher, a cooling architectural element that has been used for thousands of years. And it has the most wind catchers in the world.

These remarkable towers are a common sight standing above the buildings of Yazd. There are two main forces that drive the air through and down into the structures: the incoming wind and the change in buoyancy (浮力) of air. First，as air is caught by the opening of a wind catcher, it is led down to the house below. Then the air flows throughout the inside of the building, sometimes over underground pools of water for further cooling. Eventually, warmed air will   rise and leave the building through another tower or opening.

Some of the earliest wind-catching technology came from Egypt 3,300 years ago. Here, buildings had thick walls, few windows facing the sun, an opening to take in air and an exit opening on the other side known as malqaf architecture. Iran’s wind-catching technology is widely considered to have added structural improvements to allow for better cooling-such as typically combining it with its existing irrigation system to help to cool the air down before releasing it throughout the home.

The structures, which require no electricity to power them, are now drawing scientists back to the desert city to see what role they could play in keeping us cool in a rapidly heating world. Parham Kheirkhah Sangdeh has extensively studied the scientific application and surrounding culture of wind catchers in contemporary architecture at Ilam   University in Iran. He hopes to see Iran’s wind catchers updated to add energy-efficient cooling to existing buildings. “People need to keep an eye on the past and understand why energy conservation is important,” he says.

【1】Which of the following makes the city of Yazd unusual?

A．Its long history.

B．Its extreme climates.

C．Its ancient innovative wonders.

D．Its central geographical position.

【2】Where is the opening of a wind catcher?

A．Near a house’s door.

B．Above the rooftop.

C．Beside the underground pools.

D．Beneath a house’s windows.

【3】How does Iran’s wind catcher differ from Egypt’s malqaf ?

A．It is surrounded by thicker walls.

B．It has no windows facing the sun.

C．It requires no electricity to power it.

D．It takes advantage of water’s properties.

【4】What is Parham Kheirkhah Sangdeh working on?

A．Introducing wind catchers into today’s buildings.

B．Studying the earliest wind catchers in Egypt.

C．Repairing traditional wind catchers in Yazd.

D．Creating energy conservation labs at Ilam University.
