Many people trying to sell homes find that an increase in home prices has turned the market in their favor.But sellers can still get_the_short_end_of_the_deal if they aren’t caref ul.Here are a few tips for you：

Don’t test your luck.Of course you think anyone who moves into your lovely home should be willing to pay top dollars，especially if you’ve recently invested in some improvements.But listing a home at a price that’s too high a bove the market price could turn away some buyers.

Buyers noticing that the home still hasn’t sold may begin to assume there’s something wrong with the house and use that as a reasonable excuse for offering a lower price.And if a home hasn’t received any o ffers after two weeks，it might be time to reset the price.

A price that’s too low can bring about an undesired outcome.Listing your home at or slightly below the market price can have the effect of drawing in a large group

of buyers and increase the chances that a home will receive multiple(many) offers.But setting the price too low comes with several risks.One possibility is that buyers will get skeptical of the home that is listed for $15,000 to $20,000 less than similar homes in the area，especially if it’s not properly marketed.Once again，people might assume there is something wrong with the home and may not bother to look at it.

Spy on the competition.Going to other people’s open houses can give you a better sense of how your home compares to others on the market.Check out the finishes in their kitchens，the size of their backyards and use the information to figure out where your home should fit in the range of the price.But don’t set your pricing just on what you see elsewhere.

1．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A．To be at a disadvantage.

B．To get the upper hand.

C．To have control over the situation.

D．To be unable to fit in.

2．What should home sellers do according to the passage?

A．Price your house on the basis of its geographic location.

B．Price your house slightly above the market price after decorating it.

C．Change the price if no offer has been received within a week.

D．Change your house at a price slightly below the market price.

3．If you set the price of your house too low，________.

A．buyers might think it not worthwhile to go to have a look

B．you are likely to come into conflict with the neighborhood sellers

C．your house will be crowded with buyers within a couple of days

D．chances of your house being sold at a better price will be greatly increased 4．What is the benefit of going to other people’s open houses?

A．You can pick up some useful lessons on house selling.

B．You can get your pricing mainly based on what you see elsewhere.

C．You can work out how much money you should ask for your home.

D．You can know how to make your house stand out against other houses.

(2016·南京、盐城一模)

Glad to Be Grey

The recession(经济衰退) of 2008—2009 was remarkable in rich countries for its

intensity，the subsequent recovery for its weakness.The labour market has also broken the rules，as new research from the OECD，shows in its annual Employment Outlook.

Young people always suffer in recessions.Employers stop hiring them，and they often get rid of new employees because they are easier to sack.But in previous periods，such as the recessions of the 1970s,1980s and 1990s，older workers were also dismissed.This time is different.

During the financial crisis in 2008，and since，they have done better than other age groups.

The researchers focus on movements in “non-employment” as a share of the total population in three age groups between the final quarters of 2007 and 2012.This measure has the advantage of including not just unemployment，where people are looking for work，but also inactivity，where people are not seeking jobs.Whereas the average non-employment rate in the OECD has risen by four percentage points among young people and by one-and-a-half points among 25- to 54-year-olds，it has fallen by two points among the 55—64 age group.

Why have older employees done so well？In some southern European countries they benefit from job protection not afforded to younger workers，but that did not really help them in past recessions.What has changed，says Stefano Scarpetta，head of the OECD’s employ ment directorate，is that firms now bear the full costs of getting rid of older staff.In the past，early-retirement schemes provided by governments(in the mistaken belief that these would help young people) made it cheaper to push grey-haired workers out of the door.These have largely stopped.

Job losses among older workers have also been balanced by falls in inactivity，reflecting employment pressure that were already apparent before the crisis.Older workers are healthier than they used to be and work is less physically demanding.They are also more attractive to employers than former generations.

Today’s 55- to 64-year-olds are the advance group of the post-war baby-boomers who benefited from better education than their predecessors.Older workers now have a stronger motivation to stay in employment because of the impact of the crisis on wealth.

Many will argue that older workers have done better at the expense of the young.That view is wrong-headed.First，it is a mistaken belief that a job gained for one person is a job lost for another；there is no fixed “lump of labour”．And second，as the report shows，young and old people are by and large not substitutes in the

workplace.They do different types of work in different types of occupation：Younger people are attracted to IT firms，for example，whereas older folk tend to be employed in more traditional industries.There are plenty of things that should be done to help the young jobless，but shunting older workers out of the workplace is not one of them.
