We sat down and had a rest near a path at the foot of a hill. It was quiet and we enjoyed ourselves. Suddenly we heard bells ringing at the top of the hill. What we saw made us pick up all our things and run back to the car as quickly as we could. There were about three hundred sheep coming towards us down the path.

People going shopping in America can expect to be treated with respect from the very beginning. Most places don’t have a “furniture street” or a “computer road” which allow you to compare prices easily. Instead, people often “let their fingers do the walking” through the store hot lines. From the first “hello”, customers receive a satisfying response to their questions. This initial contact can help them decide where to shop.
When customers get to the store, they are treated as honored guests. Customers don’t usually find store clerks sitting around watching TV or playing cards. Instead, the clerks greet them warmly and offer to help them find what they want. In most stores, the clear signs that label each department make shopping a breeze. Customers usually don’t have to ask how much items cost, since prices are clearly marked. And unless they’re at a flea market or a yard sale, they don’t bother trying to bargain.
When customers are ready to check out, they find the nearest and shortest checkout lane. But as Murphy’s Law would have it, whichever lane they get in, all the other lanes will move faster. Good stores open new checkout lanes when the lanes get too long. Some even offer express lanes for customers with 10 items or less. After they pay for their purchases, customers receive a smile and a warm “thank you” from the clerk. Many stores even allow customers to take their shopping carts out to the parking lot. That way, they don’t have to carry heavy bags out to the car.
小题1: By quoting (引用) the McDonald’s ad: “We do it all for you”, the author intends to_______.
A.suggest that customers believe what commercials say deeply |

A.To visit a professional street with lots of similar stores. |
B.To compare prices in many shops in the same street. |
C.To make phone calls and get better shopping choices. |
D.To receive other customers’ answers to the questions. |
A.an easy job | B.a trouble | C.a funny thing | D.a boring task |
A.The store clerks don’t usually sit around watching TV or playing cards. |
B.Some stores offer price bargain to the customers like a yard sale. |
C.The clerks give customers a smile and a warm “thank you” after paying. |
D.Some stores open new checkout lanes when the lanes are crowded. |
