语篇解读：

本文是一篇说明文。

你知道现在的商家是怎么吸引顾客的吗？

他们效仿古埃及店主的做法，通过对商店的环境做一些改变来吸引顾客。

5．解析：

细节理解题。

根据第二段的举例内容可知，商家如此摆放水果和蔬菜的目的是让先买健康食品的顾客感到高兴，这样他们稍后就会买更多的垃圾食品了。

解题时不能凭主观臆断选择答案，B项干扰性很强，商家展示自己商品的高质量是毋庸置疑的，但本文并未提及。

答案：

C

6．解析：

细节理解题。

根据第三段中的．..theymaketheirownbreadeachmorningandthenfanthebreadsmellintothestorethroughouttheday.可知，商家知道烤面包的味道对顾客的感官有诱惑力，于是他们就整天用风扇把面包味吹进商店。

答案：

D

7．解析：

推理判断题。

最后一段中的aCaliforniabuilder这个故事是一个例子，用来说明前面的内容，因此根据该例前面的inthefirstfewseconds可知应该选择D项。

该段主要是说顾客在进店的头几秒钟就会做出是否购买的决定，因此良好的第一印象自然会有助于增加销量。

答案：

D

8．解析：

目的意图题。

文章的第一段就点明了主题。

本文主要介绍的是商家是通过哪些手段把人们变成顾客的。

因此答案选A。

文章虽然提到了古埃及，但并不是介绍商家是如何从过去发展而来的，因此B项不对；文章主要聚焦在商家的一些做法上，因此C项有误；D项的dishonest一词与全文的基调不一致，文章只是客观介绍，并没有暗示商家不诚实。

答案：

A
