阅读理解 同题异文　群文阅读 Law and order Unit 4 A (选自北师大版选择性必修第四册 Unit 11) Drummer Hits the Road Ma Ming，drummer for the rock band “Storm”， had to pack his bags.He moved out of his rented flat after complaints from his neighbours about disturbing the peace. Being single，Ma Ming often held parties at night，but the biggest problem was his tendency to drum late at night.Ma Ming’s neighbours said they were being driven mad being exposed to such noise.The flat-owner said if he had known that Ma Ming was a drummer，he wouldn’t have rented the flat to him.The neighbours quickly realised they were in trouble when he moved in.And from then on，they rarely got a full night’s sleep.They couldn’t relax or read a book without plugging their ears.One neighbour also claimed that Ma Ming had a bad influence on his teenage son. In the end，the community council took action.“We took a vote, and came to a resolution.We gave Ma Ming a warning.We told him that he ought to cease drumming or leave the property，” a council member said.“Getting enough sleep is important for people’s health and，after such a chorus of complaints，we had to take action.” Ma Ming’s departure has pleased his neighbours.“Life will go back to normal now，” they said. For Ma Ming’s version of the story，we found him in a hotel in Shanghai.Ma Ming felt that they were prejudiced against him.He’s bitter over the fact that people thought of his music as “noise”.Otherwise he didn’t really mind having to leave the flat.“Living in a hotel means the hotel staff makes the bed every day and I don’t have to do my own washing! Anyhow, I’m now looking for a remote house on the edge of the city.” Grandpa Arrested After One Shower Too Many Eighty-year-old retired tailor，James McKay，spent Saturday night in a cell after hitting 30-year-old Keith Smith over the head with his walking stick.McKay’s wife，Laurene said that，while McKay is usually a peaceful and pleasant person，he had been driven to this act of violence by literally getting wet just once too often.He could no longer tolerate it. Smith lives above the McKays.He is a keen gardener，and also a fish collector.Unfortunately，the water he sent over his balcony every day ended up on the McKays’ floor，or too often，on the unsuspecting McKays themselves. “For the last two weeks，since Smith moved into the flat above us，we dared not go onto our balcony，” said Laurene.She added that it wasn’t only the water falling onto their balcony from Smith watering his plants that bothered them，but also the way he cleaned his fish tanks.“We’d be sitting there happily reading our newspapers，when suddenly so much water would come from above that we’d be as wet as if we had showered with our clothes on! We could hardly get rid of the smell of fish！” And on Saturday evening it was just too much.“It was James’ birthday，”Laurene recalled，“and it was such a beautiful night to enjoy the starry night outside.I made him a birthday cake.The candles were a great sight as you can imagine，but James didn’t get to blow them out.” Instead，Smith emptied one of his larger tanks over his balcony and both the McKays and the cake were wet through.“I have never seen him move so fast and I couldn’t stop him.He was up there in a flash.” Smith is not going to take things further with the police.He has also promised to change his ways from now on.And what of James McKay？As he left the police station，a large crowd of supporters sang him “Happy Birthday”.“Definitely the most exciting birthday ever！” said the cheerful old man.“The best since my youth，I’d say！” 1.What’s the main idea of the passage?

This is due to a strategy called “drip pricing”，coined by American economist Richard Thaler in 1971.Drip pricing is a strategy where businesses gradually add extra charges to a customer’s bill，making the initially advertised price rise. This strategy takes advantage of customers’ tendency to commit to a purchase when they see a low original price.As extra fees are added，customers often continue with the purchase despite the increased cost due to their emotional investment.Businesses，from e-commerce stores to airlines，use this technique to significantly boost their profits.The initial price of a product or service can sharply increase with the addition of various costs.For example，a flight ticket can considerably increase due to the inclusion of extra costs such as baggage fees，seating options，and access to express lanes. However，current laws seem inadequate in the face of these practices，resulting in calls for new regulations and clearer retailer responsibilities.Dr.Jane Doe from the Consumer Behavior Research Group at the University of Cambridge found that customers’ knowledge plays an effective role.“Our study shows that when customers are informed about drip pricing techniques，they are less likely to fall for them，ultimately leading to more cost-effective purchases，” Dr.Doe said. The success of drip pricing depends on customers not knowing or accepting these extra costs.An interesting suggestion to fight these practices could be the start of an annual event to highlight and criticize the worst examples of drip pricing.Possible award categories might include The Biggest Drip，Most Uselessly Named Charge，and the Droplet Award for multiple extra pricing add-ons.Such an event could strengthen customers and promote openness in pricing，thereby challenging the success of drip pricing. As we progress into the era of digital commerce，the need for transparency and fairness in pricing is becoming increasingly important.Consumer advocates argue that the key to fighting drip pricing lies not only in stricter laws and regulations from the government but also in equipping consumers with the necessary knowledge and tools. 1.What does the term “drip pricing” refer to? A.An outdated approach applied in e-commerce pricing. B.An in-depth study on the continual rise of business prices. C.A pricing strategy involving added costs to the initial price. D.A cost reduction technique commonly employed in airlines. √ 2.What drives customers to proceed with a purchase even as costs increase? A.Fear of losing previous orders. B.Restrictions from acts and laws. C.Emotional commitment to the product. D.Unawareness of the additional charges. √ 3.According to Dr.Jane Doe，how to protect consumers from drip pricing? A.By enforcing clear new laws. B.By providing consumer education. C.By promoting cost-effective shopping. D.By organizing challenging annual events. √ 4.What can be inferred from paragraphs 4 and 5? A.Annual events will award successful drip pricing. B.Ignoring drip pricing is an effective way to resist it. C.Consumer advocates need support from the media. D.Consumers and authorities should make joint efforts. √ 词汇积累 1.initially adv.开始，最初 2.considerably adv.非常；很；相当多地 3.inclusion n.包括，包含 4.retailer n.零售商；零售店 5.transparency n.透明；显而易见 本课结束 $
