The “Double Eleven” Shopping Festival is one of the largest shopping festivals in China. Last year, the biggest winner, Alibaba, alone 【1】 498.2 billion yuan in trade.

Many people believe such large shopping festivals can help them save lots of money. After all, many customers do buy some goods the 【2】 in a year. But if you take a careful look at the sales prices, you’ll find that many of them 【3】 in “9”or “99”. In our everyday life, we hardly say, “Just give me 5.99 minutes.” Or it’s 【4】 to say,“Just give me 59 minutes.”   We get used to saying,“Just give me six minutes.” and “Just give me 60 minutes.” Why do stores choose the other way round?

According to Lee E. Hibbett, an expert of marketing, this pricing skill 【5】 around for a century. No one knows who invented it. It’s clear that stores all like it. Prices that have “99” and “9” simply sell 【6】.

The skill is based on (基于) how we read. On a price tag, we can easily remember the number on the far 【7】. We can remember the “5” most 【8】5.99 yuan is pretty close to 6 yuan. Something that sells for 5.99 yuan just seems like a better deal than the one that sells for yuan.

In a 2016 study, Hibbett asked a clothing company to raise the price of one of its dresses. He and his workmates all thought fewer people would buy the dress, but the result actually 【9】 them. Sales were up by a third when the price was raised from $34 to $39. However, raising the price from $34 to $44 made 【10】 difference.

So be careful with prices with “99” and “9”. They may make you spend more money but not save some!

22、China launched its seventh manned spaceflight on June 17, 2021, sending three astronauts to the core module (核心舱) of its space station, Tiangong. A 20-story-all Long March 2F carrier rocket took off at 9:22 a.m. at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwesten China’s Gobi Desert, shooting into the blue sky with the Shenzhou XI spacecraft on top of the rocket. The Shenzhou XI spacecraft would then connect with the core module Tianhe and the cargo craft Tianzhou-2.

Launched on April 29, 2021, Tianhe is the biggest and heaviest spacecraft that China has built. It has three parts — a connecting section, a life-support and control section, and a resources section. It is central to the Tiangong station’s operations. Astronauts live there and control the station from inside. The three astronauts, Nie Haisheng, Liu Boming and Tang Hongbo, are to complete a three-month mission in it. They are expected to carry out space science experiments and technology experiments. They will use robotic arms to install equipment and check Tianhe’s external condition. To stay in good health, they will also do some physical exercise.

On May 30, 2021, Tianzhou-2 spacecraft arived at the space station carrying supplies (物资). Chinese officials said the Tianzhou-2 spacecraft reached the station eight hours after launching from Hainan, an island in the South China Sea. The spacecraft was carrying space suits, living supplies, equipment and fuel for astronauts to use.

Based on the project plans made by the Chinese space agency, there will be a total of 11 launches from 2021 to the end of 2022. So they will transport more supplies and astronauts to build the space station. In 2022, two large space labs will be launched to connect with the core module. Moreover, two manned space flights and two robotic cargo flights will be made that year to continue construction of the Tiangong station. The station expected to be completed and put into formal operation around the end of 2022.

23、English people like to say “Thank you” whenever others help them or say something kind to them. People of many countries do so, too. It is a good habit. You should say “Thank you” when someone passes you the salt on the table, when some walking ahead of you keeps the door open for you, when someone says you have done your work well, or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful. “Thank you” is used not only between friends, but also between parents and children, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives.

“Excuse me” is another short sentence they use. When you hear someone says so behind you, you know that somebody wants to walk past you without touching（接触） you. It’s not good to break in on others while they are talking. If you want to speak to one of them, you should say “ Excuse me” first, and then begin talking. You should also do so when you want to cough or make any unpleasant noise before others.
