Packaging designers often combine a variety of elements—text, illustration, color—in complex designs meant to attract consumers' attention. In many cases, according to a new series of studies, they'd get better results from a simpler approach.
In the first study, the researchers worked with data from the U. S. supermarket chain Kroger. They gathered all product images across four consumable categories—shampoo, deodorant, crackers, and cereal—along with each product's name, brand, retail(零售) price, and weight. Independent research assistants rated the images on complexity of design. Mapping the ratings against each product's price per ounce showed that the simpler the package was, the higher the product's unit price—suggesting that people are willing to pay more when items are presented simply.
In the following experiments, the researchers created simple and complex packages for trail mix and showed one or the other to each of 362 university students. The students indicated the highest amount they would pay for the snack, reported whether they thought it contained few or many ingredients and how pure they believed it to be, and rated the package on attractiveness and simplicity. Those who saw the simple design were willing to pay more, even though they were less likely than people who saw the complex design to award high marks on attractiveness. The simple design got higher scores on purity, and participants believed the product contained fewer ingredients. Repeating the experiment with a different item—hand lotion(护手霜)—got similar results.
"Simplifying packaging design may be an efficient way to convey product information independent of text, "the researchers write. Additional experiments showed that the boost from a simple design was less pronounced when the product's ingredients were highlighted on the package; consumers then had no need to guesspurity.
(1)、How did the researchers carry out the first study?A、By talking to the staff from a supermarket. B、By recording opinions from local customers. C、By rating complexity of designs and improving them. D、By analyzing product images and related information.(2)、The researchers repeated the experiment with hand lotion to find out _.A、how to create simple packages B、how to get high marks on purity C、whether people preferred simpler designs D、why complex designs were more attractive(3)、Which of the following may the researchers agree with?A、Categories of products should be highlighted. B、Managers should make package designs simpler. C、Sales of products should rely more on packaging. D、Researchers should focus on less pronounced facts.(4)、What is a suitable title for the text?A、Less is more B、Quality over quantity C、The simpler, the healthier D、The more complex, the more expensive -

On the streets of Sydney, Australia, a young Chinese woman, wearing elegant hanfu, the traditional clothing of China, gracefully holds a dizi, the bamboo flute of China, fascinating passersby with the melodies of traditional Chinese music. The performer is Dong Min, a talented musician born in 1990.
After graduating from Minzu University of China with a major in Chinese bamboo flute, Dong registered at the University of New South Wales in Australia in 2015 to study curating ( 策 展 ) and cultural leadership. Dong quickly found like-minded friends passionate about Chinese traditional instruments. Then, she founded the Sydney Meya Conservatory(音乐学院) of Chinese Music.
Dong noticed a lack of awareness of Chinese traditional music in Australia. So, inspired by local performers using Western instruments for street performances, she started street performances with her conservatory members, showing traditional Chinese instruments in Sydney's Chinatown in 2016.
"Street performances offer a direct and visual way for people to experience Chinese music. By bringing it to the streets, we make it accessible to everyone, "she said.

Apart from her conservatory, Dong also offers online dizi lessons to a global audience and organizes online exchange concerts for her students worldwide. "I hope to create a platform for music enthusiasts to connect and build friendships through their shared love for music, "she said.
Ever since she arrived in Australia, Dong has noticed a growing interest in Chinese traditional music among local people. Many music schools now offer courses on Chinese instruments. "This demonstrates that traditional Chinese music is thriving (兴旺) not only in formal concert halls but also on the streets and within communities, "she said.

14、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使其构成一篇完整的短文。
Sadness hit me when I realized that 4 p. m. had gone unnoticed. Every day, a few minutes before the hour, my cute dog, Jake, would stare at me, pushing me to get his dinner. Now Jake is gone, and the disappearance of the comforting pace he brought to my days is like a minute-by-minute reminder of my loss. Friends comfort me by telling me I saved him. But a rescue organization did that. By the time I met him, he had already been saved, just not settled.
The real story is that Jake saved me. Before Jake, I was living in a total mess, addicted madly to video games. I lost interest in any schoolwork and skipped classes a lot. Electronic devices were what I cared about most. My parents were deeply concerned about me but it's tricky to handle a stubborn teenager, taking the wrong way. Shortly afterwards, I dropped out of school.
It felt so good at the very beginning. I locked myself inside my bedroom, lost in violent games and losing track of time and meals. Fights with parents occurred frequently. I thought my life would be that forever, but one day, without any trace, those games couldn't interest me anymore. I sank into a deep sorrow, feeling everything in my life was blank and meaningless. That lifelessness swallowed me whole. I was consumed with boredom and emptiness. I was separated from the world by a sheet of dirty glass. Me on inside, everything and everyone else on the other. I avoided socializing. I rarely reached out. I assumed the worst in people and figured they saw the worst in me. My parents were anxious and appointed a therapist for me.
That's when I first met Jake. I was waiting for a traffic light when I spotted an adoption event and then Jake, with his big eyes drooping(低垂), in which I saw his pain, just as he saw mine. I could tell his eyes glittered when approached. After living a whole irresponsible life, I decided to be responsible for something.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
I adopted him without hesitation, thus opening a new chapter of his life.
Jake, too, witnessed great changes in me.
