I started learning how to cook by watching my mother and my grandmothers. My passion for cooking started at the age of 14 in Monterrey. Then, at age 17, I was contracted to work in New Orleans and cooked for three years. After that, I moved to Houston in 1990, where I fell in love and then had my first two beautiful children. We moved to Richmond in 1995 due to the unemployment of work in Houston.Living in Richmond, I saw many opportunities come up. I was one of the first ones in Richmond to open a food trailer (活动房屋) business on Jefferson Davis Highway in 2000. We were at this location for about two years, and then we decided to open a restaurant nearby on the same road towards the market. We moved to that location in 2007. Our business was going very well until my husband died, which forced us to close our restaurant.After sadly closing the business, I worked at Tio Pablo as the head cook. I was there for approximately 3 - 4 years, and then headed to Rancho T. I later started working a second job with Commercial Taphouse. After being with Taphouse from 2018, I worked until it closed in 2022. I then saw the opportunity to open my business again. I said to myself, “It’s time to reopen my business back up after so long. ”So now you can find me cooking seven days a week aboard my own food truck, El Taconazo, parked at 3227 Broad Rock Blvd. We have various dishes from tacos to hot, delicious soups like menudo on Sundays, and posole. Anyway, the traditional Mexican food I cook always attracts a crowd.I do my work with passion. I invariably give my 100% to ensure that my customers are happy and come back and visit us. My business may be small, but what makes it big is my happycustomers returning.4．What can we know about the author from paragraph 1?A．She got her first job at age 14.B．She grew up in Mexico City.C．Her family influenced her to cook.D．Her husband pushed her to move.5．What made the author shut down the restaurant on Jefferson Davis Highway?A．Her husband’s death.B．An offer from Tio Pablo.C．Her desire to expand.D．The depression of the market.6．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A．Reasons for closing the business.B．Steps of reopening a restaurant.C．Restaurant industry’s expansion.D．The author’s working experience.7．What motivates the author to keep doing her work?A．Her increasing income.B．Her love of cooking.C．Her passion for eating.D．Her customers’ demand.Global travel is getting busier and busier, and this begs a question: Is there such a thing as an off-season anymore?Recently, ForwardKeys, a Spain-based travel data and analysis company, collected some numbers in three of the world’s most popular beach destinations: Thailand, Hawaii and the Maldives. Here’s the math: take the total number of tourists in a year and divide that figure by 12, which works out to an average of around 8% per month. Then, you can create a graph (图表) to see which months are higher or lower than that average.“In Thailand, low season typically lasts from April to September with April and May being really hot,” says Olivier Ponti, a director at ForwardKeys. “During this low season, the tourist volume each month covers over 7% of the annual total. That means very, very little seasonality.”Arguably, the biggest single factor affecting what we know as “peak season” travel is weather. A 2023 survey from the European Travel Commission reported that European travelers cited weather as their number-one factor in deciding where to go on vacation, with 8% of respondents saying they were concerned about extreme weather in European destinations.Climate may be an important factor in booking a holiday, but it’s not the only one. ForwardKeys’ Ponti, a father of two, notes that many travelers have to plan their trips at the sametime because they’re working around school schedules.But every family’s situation is different. For those whose kids are grown or who don’t have kids at all, there’re more opportunities to travel.Ann Woodward, a childfree American, makes a point of learning school schedules in her area so that she can plan around them. “I’m generally trying not to go to touristic attractions during those periods. I call it hiding,” she laughs. Woodward spent much of her youth traveling and has already checked off many of the big places that attract the most crowds, which means she can now go to less busy areas during an off-season. “For me, the challenge is about finding the joy in those low seasons,” she says.8．What does Olivier Ponti mean?A．Tourists find ways to fight overtourism.B．Off- season travel doesn’t exist anymore.C．More tourists enjoy traveling in low seasons.D．Peak-season travel is getting uncontrollable.9．What is the most important factor in European’s booking a holiday according to the 2023 survey?A．School plans.B．Economic budget.C．Technology.D．Climate.10．Why is Ann Woodward mentioned in the text?A．She is a travel enthusiast.B．She likes busier areas.C．She has flexible schedules.D．She has unique travel habits.11．What does the underlined phrase “checked off” in the last paragraph probably mean?A．Visited.B．Avoided.C．Examined.D．Remembered.If a stranger knocked on your door asking for using your phone, would you help? How about lending them five dollars for the bus, if they said they’d return and pay you back?Nowadays, many people find it hard to trust strangers. A recent study found that our ability to trust strangers may be more than just a social or psychological trait (特征) — it could be rooted in our DNA．This is important, as it turns out that trusting people might actually live longer and healthier lives compared to more skeptical people.Two main theories have appeared to explain why some people are more trusting than others. One suggests trust is a stable trait shaped by early life experiences. The other thinks it’s influenced by a person’s ongoing evaluation of the social environment. We can easily imagine that the answer to the question “Would you say that most people can be trusted? ” would depend on whether you’d been robbed the day before or if you’d had your dropped wallet returned.This is where the recent research comes in. A professor of Lund University, Edgerton and his coworkers have been doing research about trust. In their most recent study, involving 33, 882 Danish blood donors, their analyses identified a single gene (基因), PLPP4, which was strongly associated with the trait of trusting others. They discovered that the PLPP4 gene explained 6% of the variation in social trust within the study population. If you take two people who have similar education and life experiences, this gene alone could account for 6% of the difference in how much they trust others.They suspect that the PLPP4 gene may somehow soften our “fight-or-flight” survival mechanism. If our fight-or-flight system is less intense when we encounter new people, it makes sense that tending to trust others could have huge health benefits. Indeed, if trusting others acts as something against stress, it may lower the risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease.As people continue to uncover the mysteries of trust, one thing is clear: Understanding its genetic roots may hold the key to developing healthier communities in the world.12．What might affect people’s trust levels according to the existing theories?A．Their childhood habits.B．Their social experiences.C．Their personal abilities.D．Their communication skills.13．What does the recent study focus on?A．The ways to develop survival ability.B．The mental cause of trust.C．The connection between trust and a gene.D．The features of different genes. 14．What does the text say about trusting others?A．It could bring health benefits.B．It helps to develop the world faster.C．It lessens the intense stress in work.D．It causes better survival mechanisms. 15．What might be the best title for the text?A．Theories That Explain Why You Are TrustedB．Experiences Can Make You Grow DependableC．A Link Between Biology and Social ScienceD．A Gene Influences How Trusting You AreThanks to scientific and technological developments, billions of people today are living a better life than that of kings of centuries ago. 16 After all, despite all the progress we've made, the world faces many challenges in the 21st century: climate change, poverty and cancer, etc.Our best hope of dealing with these challenges is to make science and technology more productive. One practical way to achieve this is through the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and laboratory automation. AI systems already possess superhuman scientific powers. They can remember massive volumes of facts and learn from huge datasets. 17 These powers are highly praised even by human scientists.18 Robots can now carry out most of the laboratory tasks humans can. Then there’re AI Scientists: AI systems integrated with laboratory automations that are capable of carrying out the closed-loop (闭环) automation of scientific research. These systems automatically generate hypotheses (假设) to explain observations, design experiments to test these hypotheses, interpret the results and then repeat the cycle.Within the last year or so, the world has been astonished by the success of Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, which have achieved ground-breaking performance on a wide range of conversation- based tasks. 19 This is associated with their capacity to read all the scientific literature and act as a source of scientific knowledge.However, the application of AI to science has the potential for harm. As a step towards preventing this, some scientists have prepared the Stockholm Declaration on AI for Science.20 They urge all scientists working with AI to sign.A．They can carry out perfect logical reasoning.B．Today, laboratory automation is increasingly advancing.C．AI has the potential to transform the very process of thinking.D．These LLMs show great potential for super-charging AI Scientists.E．There’re now about 100 AI Scientists worldwide, working in various areas.F．However, it is deeply surprising how little appreciated this astonishing fact is.G．This commits the signees to the responsible and healthy development of AI for science.二、完形填空I carry the delayed dreams of my father firmly on my shoulders.

All they had to do to gain independence was to hold what they had. The British, on the contrary, had to reconquer a vast territory in order to win. To get troops in action against the “ rebels” of 1775---83, the British government had to send them by bulky, slow-moving sailing vessels which never took less than four weeks ( and often ten) to cross the Atlantic. Moreover, those who “came three thousand miles and died, to keep the Past upon its throne” had to be armed, clothed, and even partly fed from England, which meant more shipping , more delays, more losses at sea, such expense as had never been known in English history.1.By using the terms, “War of Independence”and “other wars of liberation”, the authorindicates that heA.wishes that the British had won.B.understands the American point of view.C.is an impartial observer.D.is careful to use the correct terminology.2.The author is assuming that the readerA.has a preconceived bias in favor of the American war effort.B.has a preconceived bias in favor of the British.C.is unbiased in viewing the war.D.is trying to decide which side deserved to win.3.Which of the following sentences, except for a few emotive words, is a statement of fact?A.“ The surprising thing…”B.“ All they had…”C.“ To get troops…”D.none of the above.Passage 2The seas contain very few animals outwardly as unattractive as the oyster. Misshapen, drab, practically motionless, and devoid of expression, the oyster presents little to stir in the imagination or aesthetic sensibilities. Nevertheless, in its prosaic way, the oyster contributes more to the welfare of man than any other invertebrate of the sea, and its geologic history is long and informative. Kilometer after kilometer of oyster banks and reefs fringe the warmer borders of the continents, furnishing food and raw materials for man. The approximate annual world production of oyster meat approaches 54 million kilograms, and in several countries, especially the United States, France, the Netherlands, Japan, and Australia, oyster fishing is an important industry, Oyster shells are dredged by the thousands of tons from shallow banks and used for construction material and other purposes. A number of mollusks popularly called oysters are not really members of the genus Ostrea; among these are “ pearl oysters”, genus Melagrina. More than 1,000 species of oysters, including fossil and living species are known.4.The author’s major objective in this paragraph is to emphasize theA.unattractive appearance of the oyster.B.importance of the oyster to man.C.many different species of oysters.D.Many ways in which oyster shells are used.5.By stating that the pearl oyster is not really a member of the genus Ostrea, the author is tryingto do all of the following exceptA.relate to what the reader already knows.B.dispel a myth.C.show that everything that looks like an oyster isn’t one.D.explain the process of pearl formation.6.The author seems to be most intrigued with the oyster’sA.annual production of food for the world.B.practically motionless position in the sea.C.geologic history.D.contrasting bad looks and extreme importance.Passage 3Rocks which have solidified directly from molten materials are called igneous rocks. Igneous rocks are commonly referred to as primary rocks because they are the original source of material found in sedimentaries and metamorphics. Igneous rocks compose the greater part of the earth’s crest, but they are generally covered at the surface by a relatively thin layer of sedimentary or metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks are distinguished by the following characteristics: (1) they contain no fossils; (2) they have no regular arrangement of layers; and (3) they are nearly always made up of crystals.Sedimentary rocks are composed largely of minute fragments derived from the disintegration of existing rocks and in some instances from the remains of animals. As sediments are transported, individual fragments are sorted according to size. ①Distinct layers of such sediments as gravels, sand, and clay build up, as they are deposited by water and occasionally wind. These sediments vary ion size with the material and the power of the eroding agent. Sedimentary materials are laid down in layers called strata.When sediments harden into sedimentary rocks, the names applied to them change to indicate the change in physical state. Thus, small stones and gravel cemented together are known as conglomerates; cemented sand becomes sandstone; and hardened clay becomes shale. In addition to these, other sedimentary rocks such as limestone frequently result from the deposition of dissolved material. The ingredient parts are normally precipitated by organic substances, such as shells of clams or hard skeletons of other marine life.Both igneous and sedimentary rocks may be changed by pressure, heat, solution, or cementing action. ②When individual grains from existing rocks tend to deform and interlock, they are called metamorphic rocks. For example, granite, an igneous, may be metamorphosed into a gneiss or a schist. Limestone, a sedimentary rock, when subjected to heat and pressure may become marble, a metamorphic rock. Shale under pressure becomes slate.7.Which of the following is a metamorphic rock?A.GraniteB.ShaleC.LimestoneD.Slate8.If a rock formation is stratified, we may assume that ___A.is the result of volcanic actionB.is crystalline in structureC.was built up over a period of yearsD.is metamorphic9.If a granite quarry, we may expect to find ___A.strataB.limestoneC.gravel bedsD.no trace of fossils(2) Put the two underlined sentences in passage 3 into Chinese: (2×3%=6%)III.

全国九省联考2024-2025学年高三上学期10月联考英语试题
全国九省联考2024-2025学年高三上学期10月联考英语试题一、阅读理解La Tomatina is a food fight festival held on the last Wednesday of August each year in the town of Bunol close to Valencia in Spain. It is claimed to be the biggest food fight in the world.What Happens at La TomatinaAt around 11 am, many trucks carry more than one hundred tons of over- ripe tomatoes into the centre of the town, Plaza del Pueblo. Technically the festival does not begin until one brave soul has climbed to the top of a two-story-high wooden pole and reached the ham at the top. In practice this process takes a long time and the festival starts despite no one reaching the prize. The signal for the beginning of the fight is the firing of a water gun. After one hour the fighting ends and the cleaning process begins.The Rules of La TomatinaDo not bring bottles or hard objects as they can cause accidents and hurt other participants;Do not tear other people’s T-shirts;You must squeeze (捏碎) the tomatoes before throwing them;As soon as you hear the second shot of the water gun, you must stop throwing tomatoes.Useful AdviceWear old shoes and clothes that you do not mind throwing away afterwards. They will most likely end up damaged or incredibly dirty;Don’t wear slippers. You may get hurt, or you could lose them easily during the battle;If you are not from Bunol, and you want to stay overnight, don’t forget to look for and secure accommodation in advance.Stay safe and enjoy the festivities as much as possible!1．What can we learn about La Tomatina?A．It is an annual event.B．It takes place in Valencia.C．It lasts for a whole day.D．It hands out hams as prizes.2．Which of the following signals the beginning of the fight in practice?A．The arrival of the tomatoes.B．The takedown of the ham.C．The firing of a water gun.D．The set up of the wooden pole.3．What should participants avoid doing during the fight?A．Touching each other.B．Taking soft objects with them.C．Wearing shoes and T- shirts.D．Throwing unsqueezed tomatoes.This is my fourth mission to space, my second to the International Space Station (ISS), and I’ve been here for three weeks now. I’m getting better at knowing where I am when I first wake up.My bedroom is just big enough for me and my sleeping bag, two laptops, some clothes, photos of my wife and daughters, a few books. Getting dressed is a little bit difficult when I can’t “sit” or “stand”, but I’ve gotten used to it. The most challenging thing is putting on my socks. It’s not a challenge to figure out what to wear, since I wear the same thing every day. However, without gravity to help me bend over, it is very difficult to pull my legs up to my chest.At present, we have three Americans living at the station: Samantha, Terry and me. Samantha is one of the few women to have served as a fighter pilot in the Italian Air Force, and she is competent in everything technical. She is also friendly and quick to laugh. She is especially gifted for language. She has native-level fluency in English and Russian (the two official languages of the ISS) as well as French, German, and her native Italian. She is also working on learning Chinese.For some people who hope to fly in space, language can be a challenge. We all have to be able to speak a second language (I’ve been studying Russian for years), but the European and Japanese astronauts have the added burden of learning two languages if they don’t already speak English or Russian.Terry was a test pilot before joining NASA．He has all the positive qualities of a leader — optimism, enthusiasm, friendliness — and none of the negative ones. I’ve found him to be consistently competent, and I appreciate that as a leader he is a consensus builder rather than a bossy commander. Since I’ve been up here, he has always been respectful of my previous experience, always open to suggestions about how to do things better rather than getting defensive or competitive.4．Why does the author find it challenging to put on his socks at the ISS?A．He has too many choices.B．It is uneasy to pull his legs up.C．The bedroom is too small.D．He can’t find a chair to sit on. 5．Samantha has left the deepest impression on the author probably because of her _______.A．good humor B．technical skillsC．language talent D．loud laughing6．What can be inferred from paragraph 4?A．Speaking English or Russian is a must for the ISS astronauts.B．All the ISS astronauts have to be able to speak three languages.C．European and Japanese astronauts are not good at communication.D．There are language workshops on the International Space Station.7．Which of the following can best describe Terry?A．He is competitive and defensive.B．He is a perfect leader.C．He is the most experienced man at the ISS.D．He is just a little bit bossy.On September 9, 2024, Apple released its latest iPhone 16 series at an event called “It’s Glowtime”. At the event, Tim Cook, the company’s CEO, played up the promise of the phones’ AI features in a pre-recorded video.Indeed, the demonstration seemed impressive. When Cook pointed the camera at a restaurant, the AI assistant Siri could tell him what was on the menu. It also could answer his questions fairly well and learn about the users from their interactions with their devices. For instance, Siri could know if a user’s mother was calling and acted appropriately.Apple is one of many firms that want to take AI beyond huge data centres, known as the cloud, and run it on smaller devices, known as the edge. Samsung, Apple’s major competitor, launched its Galaxy S24 with some AI features earlier this year. So did Microsoft, which has launched Windows PCs designed for AI. But their efforts have shown that it is not easy to shift cloud-based AI models to the edge devices.At present, cloud-based AI models are mostly trained on graphics processing units (GPUs) that consume so much energy that it can take a nuclear-power plant to fuel them. They also need huge amounts of memory and data. All these can cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Even once they are trained, running these AI models is costly. According to one estimate, it costs OpenAI, themaker of ChatGPT, 36 cents every time someone asks its AI model a question.Companies are experimenting with various solutions to these problems. Apple will offer on-device AI to deal with the easiest tasks, but send trickier problems to the firm’s private cloud. The service will direct the most difficult requests to third-party models such as ChatGPT. But even such smaller on-device AI models require a lot of computing power to run, which puts huge stress on the edge devices’ batteries.“Making the technology work could not only start a supercycle in device sales, but also create new opportunities for apps and digital advertising,” says Neil Shah of Counterpoint, a research firm. “But for the moment, edge devices are barely ready for basic functions, let alone Glowtime.”8．What is the second paragraph mainly about?A．The Glowtime event.B．iPhone 16’s AI features.C．Tim Cook’s performance.D．The future of AI phones.9．Why are Samsung and Microsoft mentioned in the text?A．To tell readers how bad competition can be.B．To warn Apple of the potential consequences.C．To compare their newly released edge devices.D．To show how hard it is to apply AI to edge devices.10．What is the problem with cloud-based AI models?A．OpenAI charges too much money.B．All of them have to be trained on GPUs.C．It is too expensive to train and run them.D．They can only deal with the easiest tasks.11．What does Neil Shah most probably imply?A．iPhone 16 is bound to disappoint its users.B．AI phones’ success will depend on new apps.C．Sales of AI phones will increase greatly soon.D．Tim Cook was not honest with the AI features.The Greek philosopher Heraclitus taught that you can’t step into the same river twice, foryou aren’t the same person at each visit, and the water is ever flowing. It is a powerful way to represent the reality that everything is always changing.Yet so many of us have difficulty adapting to change. We deny it, resist it or attempt to control it, the result of which is almost always some combination of stress, anxiety and burnout.It doesn’t have to be that way. No doubt, change can, and often does, hurt. But with the right mind- set, it can also be a force for growth. It’s not as if we have any choice in the matter. Like it or not, life is change. We’d be wise to shift our position from useless resistance to being in conversation with change instead.A concept called allostasis can help. Developed in the late 1980s by Peter Sterling and Joseph Eyer, allostasis is defined as “stability through change”. In other words, the way to stay stable through the process of change is by changing, at least to some extent.From neuroscience to pain science and psychology, allostasis has become the standard model for understanding change in the scientific community. The brain is at its best when it is constantly making new connections. Overcoming pain, be it physical or psychological, is not about resistance (which often worsens the experience) or trying to get back to where you were before a distressing event or situation. It’s about balancing acceptance with problem-solving and moving forward to a new normal.Yet this concept is still little known to ordinary people and it is time to start practicing it now. Over the past few years, the river of change has been flowing mercilessly, and it shows no signs of letting up. Hardly a decade after the widespread adoption of social media, a new technology that may be far more powerful, artificial intelligence, is being widely used.It’s like what our friend Heraclitus advised: Take part in change by focusing on what we can control and trying to let go of what we can’t. Our ability to work with these changes is directly related to our life satisfaction.12．What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?A．We could have a right mind- set.B．Philosophy exists everywhere.C．Some people are wiser than others.D．Change is unavoidable in life.13．How should we deal with changes according to the author?A．Ignore them.B．Participate in them.C．Fight against them.D．Put them under control.14．What does the underlined phrase “letting up” in paragraph 6 probably mean?A．Slowing down.B．Setting off.C．Marching on.D．Pulling in. 15．What is the best title for the text?A．Why Can’t We Adapt to Changes in Life?B．How Can We Increase Our Life Satisfaction?C．Let’s Transform Our Relationship With ChangeD．Try to Help the Public to Understand AllostasisHere’s the bad news: misunderstanding about masculinity(男子汉气概)is hurting males and making it hard for them to maintain friendships. 16 . They listen to each other. They read each other’s emotions. However, they tend to hide their true feelings in their late teenage because society expects them to be tough. 17 .Don’t blame yourself. You are a product of a society that expects very particular things of masculinity. So stop blaming yourself. 18 . If you accept your own desire for close relationship in your life, you will find the friendship.Get involved at tough moments. Boys sometimes are worried whether they might appear too curious about their friends’ private matters. 19 . But if you get involved at such moments, you will open the door to all kinds of growth in your relationship. So take the opportunity to show them that they matter by following up.20 . Researchers say that the No.1 thing that helps children(especially boys)grow up to have enriching friendships is to be close with adult relatives who are not afraid to express their emotions. So, if you have expressive grownup relatives, try to be close to them. They can serve as role models for you to show your true feelings in a better way.A．Look at masculinity criticallyB．So here is what they should doC．Get close to expressive adults in your lifeD．You need to face something really disturbingE．Instead, focus on undoing hurtful and restricting belief systemsF．It is especially true when their friends are sharing something toughG．The good news is that boys are born caring and loving, just as girls do二、完形填空Children are not often invited to address the United Nations General Assembly (联合国大会). But there stood Felix Finkbeiner, with a(n) 21 question about climate change.“We children know that adults are 22 the climate challenges and that they have the solutions,” he said. “But we don’t understand why there is so little 23 .”Before his speech, Finkbeiner had been 24 a remarkable environmental campaign for four years and it has since 25 into a global network of children working to 26 the earth’s warming by reforesting the planet.

INTRODUCTIONHOW TO USEThe Tenth Edition of Michael R. Solomon’s Consumer Behavior has a complete set of supplemental learning and teaching aids. The Instructor’s Manual plays a central role in organizing this package. This manual has been designed so the instructor can plan lectures, demonstrations, discussions, visual presentations, Internet exercises, and written assignments in a coordinated and efficient manner. All 14 chapters of the textbook have been carefully reviewed in order to develop the most logical and helpful manual for you, the instructor. Primary features of the Instructor’s Manual are described below. SUGGESTED SYLLABITwo sample syllabi are provided to help professors schedule their term. One is based on a quarter schedule and the other on a semester schedule.PROFESSORS ON THE GO!The Instructor’s Manual has a section entitled Professors on the Go! This section was created with the busy professor in mind. It serves to bring key material upfront in the manual, where an instructor who is short on time can take a quick look and find the chapter objectives and related activities and exercises that he or she can incorporate into the lecture, without having to page through all the material provided for each chapter. The material in the Professors on the Go! section is categorized by individual objectives for each chapter to facilitate teaching by these objectives.CHAPTER OBJECTIVESObjectives are listed clearly at the beginning of each chapter of the Instructor’s Manual. These objectives should be the focus as lesson plans are created. Chapter objectives are also matched to the review, application, and discussion questions; the cases; the Nielsen Nuggets; the additional support questions and the eLabs.COURSE LEVEL AND AACSB LEARNING OUTCOMES The review, application, and discussion questions; the cases; the Nielsen Nuggets; the additional support questions and the eLabs are also labeled with the course level learning outcomes and the AACSB learning outcomes they support.Course level outcomes are numbered as follows:1.Define consumer behavior and describe its influence on marketing practices2.Discuss why and how consumer research is conducted3.Describe the factors influencing whether or not consumers detect and attend tosensory marketing stimuli4.Summarize the major theories of learning and describe their marketing applications5.Describe the factors influencing consumers' recall of product information6.Explain the influence of the needs and cultural values of consumers7.Describe the relationship between a consumer's self-concept and consumer behavior8.Explain the relevance of the major theories of personality to consumer behavior9.Discuss the techniques marketers use to change consumers' attitudes10.Describe the stages of consumer decision making11.Discuss the influence of groups and word-of-mouth (WOM) communication12.Describe the effects of changing family structures on family decision making13.Describe the influence of social class and economics class on consumer behavior14.Explain how membership in ethnic, religious, and racial subcultures influencesconsumer behavior15.Explain how marketers can best appeal to members of different age subcultures16.Describe the relationship between modern-day rituals and consumption17.Explain why and how marketers must adapt marketing strategies to the globalmarketplaceAACSB learning outcomes are labeled. Included are the following: •Communication abilities.•Ethical understanding and reasoning abilities.•Analytic skills.•Use of information technology.•Dynamics of the global economy.•Multicultural and diversity understanding.•Reflective thinking skills.CHAPTER SUMMARYEach chapter of the textbook is summarized in the Chapter Summary. This section provides the instructor with a condensed version of the information included in the chapter.This material is consistent with the Chapter Summary material found at the end of each chapter in the text. This overview of the chapter material is especially helpful in planning chapter sequence presentation and any desired chapter combinations. In addition, this section may help the instructor plan introductory lecture remarks.CHAPTER OUTLINEThis section is the core of the Instructor’s Manual. This teaching outline is a thorough outline (specifically tied to the actual phrases and definitions used in the textbook) of the material included in the text chapters. This outline includes major and minor headings from the textbook. The instructor will notice special information sections that appear periodically in the body of the outline. This material is indicated with bold type and bold italics. The purpose of these information blocks is to indicate to the instructor where key material appears in the textbook and when to use teaching aids. It is recommended that the instructor carefully review the Chapter Outline before preparing a chapter lecture. This review will help in coordinating the learning activities that are available with the textbook. Remember that this Chapter Outline is a condensed summary of the text material; therefore, it is wise to use it along with the Test Item File when planning, developing, and constructing examinations or quizzes.Lastly, the instructor will find it useful to use the Discussion Opportunity text boxes that periodically appear in the Chapter Outline to aid discussion of the pertinent issues. The suggestions in these boxes are designed to prompt students to discuss the concepts that are being taught, as well as to provide examples that are not found in the textbook. Since this material does not appear in the textbook, it must be given to students firsthand. In most instances, the questions can be answered with a minimum of preparation and thought. These discussion opportunities are one of many discussion/activity-oriented features of this Instructor’s Manual and textbook designed to provide instructors with flexible options for making lessons interactive.Because it is virtually impossible to do everything that is included here in your course, a good way to use this Chapter Outline is to highlight the portions of the outline you would like to use in class, the questions you would like to pose, and the ancillary materials you will need. This helps to make a class flow more smoothly.End-of-Chapter Support MaterialThis section of the Instructor’s Manual supports features contained in the chapters of the textbook itself, as well as material available to students at the end of each chapter. SUMMARY OF SPECIAL FEATURE BOXESThroughout each chapter of the text, there are special feature boxes. These include Marketing Opportunity, Net Profit, CB As I See It, The Tangled Web, and Marketing Pitfall. The material in these sections is very helpful in illustrating some of the key concepts from the chapter. Thus, the instructor may wish to focus on selected special features as a part of class material. This section lists all special feature boxes found in the chapter and highlights their contents in brief.REVIEW QUESTIONSThe review questions found at the end of each chapter in the textbook are designed directly around material contained in the text. The Instructor’s Manual includes all the questions and their answers, which, for the most part, are taken directly from the textbook. CONSUMER BEHAVIOR CHALLENGEThese questions are meant to challenge the students’ understanding of chapter material and to enable them to develop an ability to creatively use the chapter material to solve problems. The questions may be used purely for discussion (if so, they might be assigned in advance of the discussion), they can be given to selected students for in-class presentation, they can be used as short essay questions on in-class quizzes or on formal examinations, or they can be used by the students to enhance the chapter summary. It should be noted that because of the nature of these questions, there is no “right” answer. Thus, the responses that are provided are merely ideas for what students might come up with, as well as directions for instructors to guide discussion.These questions are given in two sections, Discussion and Application. Some of the Discussion questions are designed to be presented to students in class. The Application questions are designed to be given as more involved out-of-class assignments. The textbook includes only the questions, while the Instructor’s Manual contains the questions and comments/responses for each question. Note that proper placement of a discussion question is up to the instructor; however, placement suggestions do appear in the Chapter Outline section.CASE STUDY TEACHING NOTESThis section is designed as a supplement for the cases found at the end of each chapter. Included is a brief summary, suggestions for presenting the case, and suggested answers for the discussion questions.NIELSEN NUGGET TEACHING NOTESThis section is designed as a supplement for the Nielsen Nugget analysis exercises found at the end of selected chapters. Included here is a brief summary, the challenge presented in the exercise, and suggested answers for the discussion questions.Additional Support MaterialThe material found in the Additional Support Material section, including the eLabs, is available only in the Instructor’s Manual. In this version of the Instructor’s Manua l, there are suggestions for things to look for in student projects where applicable. As with the suggested responses to the Consumer Behavior Challenge questions, the notes that are provided are ideas for what students might come up with or directions for instructors to guide discussion, where applicable.STUDENT PROJECTSThis section suggests several projects that may be assigned to the students for a specific class or for several class periods (a term project). These projects may be assigned to individuals (Individual Projects) or to groups (Group Projects). The instructor may require that the material be analyzed in a written format or just as discussion motivators. Instructors might consider assigning two or three students or a group of students to do one or more of the Student Projects assignments for each class period. Ask the students to be ready to give a short oral presentation on the assigned topic at the beginning of class. This gets students more deeply involved in the class and gives them opportunities to work on their oral skills. You might also ask them to turn in a short paper (one or two pages) so they can also practice their writing skills. Many of these projects can be done on the Internet (which also gives them practice with their research skills). If given proper credit, the students will also see that they can earn extra points to help them over the rough spots on exams.Most instructors find that by having a few students bring in fresh ideas to each class, the class becomes more enjoyable, engaging, and personalized. Remember that when assignments are made with plenty of lead-time, students tend to do a better job. Because this often presents a challenge in the first several class meetings, some of the earlychapter projects might be pushed back to the second week of class. The estimated amount of time to complete the projects is noted.eLABsThis section of the Additional Support Material section allows the instructor to explore Consumer Behavior issues via the Internet. These projects may also be assigned to individuals (Individual Assignments) or to groups (Group Assignments). These assignments should be given in advance and then covered in class at the discretion of the instructor. Because of the rapidly changing nature of the Internet, please confirm beforehand that the URLs given are still active and that the material on the Web site is relevant to the project given.FINAL NOTEThe Solomon team wishes to thank you for adopting the Tenth Edition of Consumer Behavior and hopes this supplement will aid you in creating an exciting learning experience for your students.。

We spend our days discovering ways to break into anything that can connect to the Internet, to access information never meant to be seen. If we get to it before a criminal does, then we've done our job.I'm proud of what I do for a living, just like doctors or lawyers are proud of the work they do. In Hollywood, hackers are often described as hooded(戴着兜帽的)figures in dark rooms involved in illegal activity while tapping keyboards. Actually, hackers are expert at programming and problem-solving with computers. Companies hire hackers to find their breaking point before criminals do.Hacking is an activity, and what separates any activity from a crime is permission. Drivers are free to drive, but they do not have permission to drive 150 miles per hour -that's illegal. Bankers can transfer their clients' money, but if they do so without permission, that's illegal.Hacking isn't an inherently(本质上)criminal activity. Someone who involves in the illegal use of hacking should not be called a “bad hacker” but a “threat actor”. Hackers are people like me and my team at IBM - security professionals.Hackers play a critical role in keeping companies and people safe. At IBM, one thing my team does is hack autonomous vehicles, planes and trains to make sure that every possible security weakness is found and corrected before each machine is shipped. Imagine what bad things could happen without us.4．Why did the author mention his son's words in paragraph 1?A．To show off his son's intelligence.B．To describe the daily life in kindergarten.C．To raise readers' interest in his job.D．To raise a problem of parent-child relation.5．What is the common misunderstanding of hackers?A．Hackers can both be males and females.B．Hackers can ensure a company's security.C．Hackers are usually considered as criminals.D．Hackers are extremely proud of what they do.6．What do we know about hacking?A．Hacking is an inherently criminal activity.B．Permission plays an important role in hacking.C．Professional skills are not necessary for hacking.D．Hacking involves breaking into shops and houses.7．What's the purpose of the passage?A．To introduce the job of hackers.B．To attract more hackers to IBM.C．To stress the importance of hackers.D．To compare hacking with other jobs.Cities are difficult to navigate (导航) at the best of times, but for people with disabilities they can be like courses with hurdles and bring inconvenience to disabled people.A UK national travel survey found that adults with mobility difficulties took 39% fewer trips than those with no disability in 2017. Yet that could change as devices and cities grow smarter. Assistive tech is playing a big role in the transformation. The global value of the industry is expected to increase from $14 billion in 2015 to $30.8 billion in 2024, according to Zion Market Research.One of the things that could transform lives is a smart walking stick designed by engineers from Young Guru Academy (YGA) in Turkey. The WeWalk stick has a sensor that detects hurdles above chest level and uses vibrations (振动) to warn the user. It can be paired with a smartphone to help navigation, and is connected with a voice assistant and Google Maps.Ceylan, who has been blind since birth, says that connecting the stick to the Internet of Things and smart city solutions makes it user-friendly. “As a blind person, when I am at the Metro station I don’t know which is my exit ... I don’t know which bus is approaching ... which stores are around me. That kind of information can be provided with the WeWalk,” he says.“The smart walking stick is really an exciting initiative that will make a huge difference tosome people,” says Anna Lawson, the director of the Center for Disability Studies at Leeds University in the United Kingdom. “But they are very expensive ... they’re not going to be available to the vast majority of disabled people,” she added.Bryan Matthews, a lecturer at the Institute for Transport Studies at the University of Leeds, shares the concerns about cost. He says there should also be a focus on inclusive design, and anything that helps people navigate their environment is positive.8．What does “that” in the second paragraph refer to?A．The survey that compared adults’ mobility.B．The smart industry that is booming.C．The fact that the disabled traveled less.D．The role that the assistive tech plays.9．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A．The working principles of the WeWalk stick.B．The introduction of the WeWalk stick inventors.C．The transformation caused by the WeWalk stick.D．The benefits brought about by the WeWalk stick.10．What’s the purpose of quoting Ceylan?A．To show the value of smart tech.B．To urge more attention to the blind.C．To increase the potential market share.D．To encourage tech research and development.11．What is the disadvantage of the WeWalk stick?A．Confusing instructions.B．Poor navigation.C．Inclusive designs.D．High prices.There are some 7,000 languages spoken worldwide, each unique, using different sounds, vocabularies and structures. Charles the Great said: “To have a second language is to have a second soul.” This begs the question: Does the language we speak shape who we are? As it turns out, yes.In societies such as the United States or Western Europe, self-expression and languageprecision are valued. Asian cultures, on the other hand, prefer an indirect form of communication. Words like “perhaps” and “maybe” are used more than “yes” or “no”. Americanism takes an informal approach to communication. Therefore, it’s OK to refer to a stranger or the boss as “you”. However, the Thai language has 12 forms of the same pronoun, choosing one depends on status. In this way, languages are essential in leading any culture, be that our own or otherwise.People who speak different languages notice different things, depending on the constructs of their mother tongue. Take an accident. In English, it’s OK to say: “She broke the glass.” But in a language like Spanish, you’d probably go with: “The glass broke.” The same incident produces two different responses. English speakers will remember who’s at fault, because their language asks them to, while Spanish speakers are more likely to remember it was an accident. This has real consequences, especially when it comes to crime and punishment.Professor Jim Cummins has written extensively on mother tongues. For Cummins, the stronger our home language, the easier it is for us to learn others. Of course, research also shows that being bilingual gives people many advantages in life. Linguist Julien Leyre writes that learning another language develops our ability to “understand the mental world of another person, based on the language they use, and how that world is different from our own.”Our mother tongue is central to how we think, what we know and who we are. Like us, languages are living things that change over time and must be cared for to survive. By doing so, we protect not just the linguistic structures or vocabularies we use, but the culture, knowledge and power behind them.12．Why does the author mention “Americanism” and “the Thai language” in Paragraph 2?A．To tell the cultural differences between them.B．To indicate a language is a guide to a culture.C．To stress American expressions are informal.D．To reveal a language is associated with status.13．How will English speakers’ react to an accident?A．They will seek blame.B．They will punish others.C．They will avoid responsibility.D．They will draw a lesson from it.14．What does Julien Leyre think about bilinguals?A．They enjoy a more colorful life.B．They can remain mentally healthy.C．They find it easier to learn a language.D．They can gain insight into others’ minds. 15．Which one can be the best title for the text?A．How do languages differ?B．Will your language be extinct?C．Why does our mother tongue matter?D．Should we speak a second language?The Spotlight EffectHave you ever felt as if the entire world was watching while you made a mistake? Well, here’s some good news: it’s likely that no one even noticed.16 We have this experience not only when we make mistakes but also when we perform well. Every time we do something that is a little different from what we usually do, we may assume that everyone around us will notice. The spotlight effect might happen when we make a mistake in a game, have a bad hair day, or give a terrible answer in class. 17 In these moments, it feels like everyone is watching.The spotlight effect exists because we all get used to seeing things through our own eyes. Every person is the main character in his or her story, and the events of our lives seem to have great importance. 18The spotlight effect is a very common part of the human experience. However, in some cases, it can lead to extreme social anxiety and nervousness around other people. Everyone suffers some degree of social anxiety. We all care about what others think, and we all want to be liked. It’s normal to wonder about what effect we have on other people. 19 If someone is so nervous that they can’t make good decisions, then it’s time to take action and improve the situation.Learning about the spotlight effect is important because it can help us reduce our anxiety. Next time you feel like everyone is staring at you, remind yourself that it’s just your mind playing tricks on you. 20 If you fill your mind with thoughts of your friends and family, it will help you be less self-conscious.A．However, this can be a problem when the anxiety is too much to handle.B．That’s why fewer people notice the embarrassing circumstances they encounter. C．Another good exercise is to make an effort to notice the people around you, rather than focusing on yourself.D．The spotlight effect is a trick of the mind that makes us believe that people notice us more oftenthan they really do.E．What you can do at this moment is to ignore them.F．We are so busy examining ourselves that we actually observe very little about everyone around us.G．It can also appear when we score a big goal, ask someone on a date, or do a good deed.二、完形填空Nisha Blackwell was putting herself through nursing school when she was laid off for the third time.
