Why? it has something to do with the quality of the toys. Companies are not allowed to lie. But they can try to make you believe that you want something. Keeping your eyes open for these marketing tricks（策略）.
Showing Famous Faces
Why is Simone Bile’s picture on your breakfast box? Why does Taylor Swift drink Diet Coke? They may love those products. But they’re also paid by those companies. Companies invite stars, and even cartoon characters to stand up for the products.

FOMO stands for Fear of Missing Out. If you think you won’t be able to get a product because it’s selling quickly, you’re more likely to rush to buy it. That’s why you see “limited edition（限量版）” products. Apple, for example, uses this rule when it gives out limited numbers of new photos to create shopping excitement.
Creating Collections
Think Shopkins. The company creates groups of products, like ice cream balls and teacups. Then it tries to advise you to buy them all to complete your collection. Many products have found success this way. Then they ended up in a box in your house. Ask yourself: Do I want this because I like it? Or am I just trying to collect more than my friends?
Playing Mind Games
Marketers want you to think that buying their product will change you in some way. They want you to thing “buying this brand（品牌）is going to make you cool, happy, or popular,” says Professor Ahern. Marketers try to control your view of the brand by using a story, imagery, music, or people. Then, whenever you’re about to buy something, they hope that image will pop into your mind, making you choose their product over anther.

The way we spend our time can be divided into three “bottles”. These are the necessary tasks bottle, the voluntary（自愿的）tasks bottle and the happiness bottle.
Every day, we spend time filling the necessary tasks bottle with useful things, like making money, doing housework, buying food and paying bills. We then fill another bottle with voluntary tasks. These are things that we do for others, but we may not enjoy them. This bottle gets filled with tasks like taking children to activities, cooking family meals, and doing laundry. Those bottles are very important. If we don’t fill them each day, our family won’t run properly.
However, we often forget to fill the third bottle ---- the happiness bottle that we fill with activities that make us happy. Is your happiness bottle sometimes empty at the end of the day? Between doing all the necessary and voluntary tasks, time flies by, and before we know it, it is time for bed. We all have days like that.
This is why each day we have to make an effort to fill our happiness bottle. I fill mine by going to the dancing class. And I always leave classes more happily than when I enter. This week, I had the pleasure of taking part in a guitar practice in my neighborhood. We show our musical talent and practice music for charity. It was a time of fun, friendship and music-making. At the end of the evening, my happiness bottle was filled to top.
Will your activities bring joy to your life? Or are the other two tasks eating up all your time? Try to find ways to achieve a balance between how you fill your three bottles. At the end of the day, hopefully we’ve done all we can to make sure that our happiness bottle is filled. 42. Which activity belongs to a necessary task according to the passage?
A. Going to work though it is raining heavily. B. Buying a birthday gift for your good friend. C. Having a yard sale to raise money for sick kids. D. Sending your son to a piano lesson Sunday.
43. What does the underlined word “it” mean in the third paragraph?
A. We require enough time to fill the necessary tasks bottle. B. Necessary and voluntary tasks are less important. C. All the three bottles are filled to top at the end of the day. D. We need time to do something to make ourselves happy. 44. How did the writer fill the happiness “bottle” this week?
A. By cooking meals for family. C. By practicing music for charity.
B. By going to the dance class. D. By listening to some nice music.
45. Which of the following is the best for “ ” in the last paragraph?
A. Make sure to fill all the three bottles. B. So consider how your time will be spent. C. People will have more happy activities. D. It’s not enough to fill the happiness bottle.
