During
this
shopping
season,
salesmen
will
come
up
with
different
strategies
to
get
your
business. Many product companies use specific colors to cause positive emotions and compete
for a sale. However, sight is not the only sensory (
感官的
) retail that companies use. Sounds and
smells can also influence consumers' purchasing decisions.


Nobel
Prize-winning
research
shows
that
our
sense
of
smell
has
great
power
to
cause
an
emotional response. A study published earlier this year compared purchasing in a French flower
shop when the smell of lavender (
薰衣草
) was given off and when it wasn't. It found that the
smell increased the number of consumers' purchasing items and the amount of their purchases.
An earlier study using Nike shoes found that consumers desired the shoes more, and were willing
to pay more, when the room had a mixed smell of flowers. Realizing the subconscious impact of
smell, many stores apply artificial scents (
气味
) through their heating and air-conditioning vents
(
通风口
) or place scent machines above their doors. For instance, a coconut scent might make
that bikini more appealing as you long for a vacation.


Ever felt
frenzied
due
to a
store's
fast-paced
music?
Or
calmed
by
a
piece
of
light
music?
A
retailer's
choice
of
music
can
have
a
big
impact
on
consumers'
moods.
One
study
found
that
when subjected to loud music, consumers will spend less time in a store. But interestingly, the
researchers
did
not
find
a
difference
in
sales
or
customers'
satisfaction.
Another
interesting
finding from a recent study was that customers actually shop longer when exposed to unfamiliar
music. Just as department stores use different scents in certain departments, many use different
music in some areas to appeal to varying consumers.

Well, you could always leave the store and take a break, but the food court probably isn't your
best choices as brands like Cinnabon and Panera Bread also use scents as part of their customers'
experience. Online retailers (
零售商
) use a variety of other strategies to get your business, but
you can always neglect those and enjoy the familiar scents of home.

At
23
I
applied
for
full- time
positions
with
no
intention
of
working
five
days
a
week.
As
a
housewife, I had two pre-school children then but wanted to work three days a week.

This was a huge deal for me. I needed to work, but also wanted to spend time with my children
while
they
were
young.
I
didn't
want
to
miss
out
on
school
drop-offs
and
pick-ups.
But
I
also
didn't want to miss out on the opportunity of promotion.

Before the interviews, I prepared a plan of how I was going to make this work for me and the
employer. I saw it as a two-way agreement
—
the business adapting to me and me adapting to
the business.

Finally I became a member of EY at 33. EY was the only firm that seemed receptive to my plan;
in
fact,
we
spent
time
during
that
first
interview
talking
about
how
we
could
make
it
work
together. Most importantly, the person interviewing me worked flexibly too
—
four days a week.


I
appreciated
that
I'm
one
of
the
lucky
ones.
Even
10
years
on,
flexible
hiring
and
working
remains the exception rather than the rule for most.


What
will
help
shift
views
and
behavior,
in
addition
to
organizations
updating
their
hiring
policies, is talking more openly about how most of us organize our day around our responsibilities.
We all have a life outside of work and we shouldn't be embarrassed to talk about it, even during a
job interview.

It's a change in the way of thinking, not just for employers but employees too. In the early days
I was confident about my ability but I probably did have a preconception (
先入之见
) that working
part-time
would
limit
my
career
progression.
What
I
quickly
realized
was
that
if
I
took
responsibility for my development, I could make sure that I got the same opportunities as if I was
working full-time. So I offered solutions to how we could make it work, and it made me stand out.

What perhaps made the author become a member of EY?

job in China with your name on it. A new type of online service allows people to hire others to
eat or drink their favorite treats, either to cure their boredom or satisfy their appetite without
the calories that usually come with it.

Chinese media recently reported on an increasingly popular service on online platform Taobao
that's as startling as it is appealing. People can now go online and hire others to consume certain

customers avoid high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and other health problems that the sugar-

So why would anyone pay a total stranger to enjoy a treat rather than consume it themselves?
Well, apparently, the online service is so cheap that some people simply do it out of boredom,
while others get satisfaction from watching others indulge in their favorite treats.

This indulging-by-proxy service(

Water is a necessity of life. Rain, especially, helps plants grow and stay green. But too much rain,
especially
in
cities,
can
lead
to
flooding.
That
can
cause
waste
water
systems
to
overflow
and
send pollutants into rivers and other waterways. To fight the problem, several cities in the United
States are starting programs like rooftop gardens.

A team at the University of the District of Columbia in the nation's capital has created a garden
on
the
top
of
one
school
building.
The
garden
holds
many
kinds
of
plants
to
help
absorb
rainwater and grow food at the same time. Architect David Bell has designed five
for
the
university.
He
says
he
is
excited
about
the
project
because

meant
doing
something
more than just dealing with storm water management. It took advantage of a resource above the
city
and
these
flat
roofs
that
aren't
doing
anything
really
became
something
that
was
about
urban
agriculture.
Rainwater
is
collected
in
large
containers
and
sent
through
a
system
that
waters the rooftop garden. The roof is filled with green life that appeals to insects.

The
project is part of a research program to see which plants do well on rooftops. The researchers are

plants
including
strawberries,

On average, Americans spend about 10 hours a day in front of a computer or other electronic
devices
and
less
than
30
minutes
a
day
outdoors.
That
is
a
claim
made
by
David
Strayer,
a
professor of psychology at the University of Utah. In his 2017 TED Talk, Strayer explained that all
this time spent with technology is making our brains tired.

Using an electronic device to answer emails, listen to the news and look at Facebook puts a lot
of pressure on the front of the brain, which, Strayer explains , is important for critical (
有判断力
的
)thinking , problem- solving and decision-making.

So, it is important to give the brain a rest. And being in naure, Strayer claims, helps get a tired
brain
away
from
too
much
technology.
More
than
15,000
campers
from
around
the
world
attended
an
international
camping
festival
in
September.
That
is
when
friends
and
family
take
time off and escape to nature for several days. They take walks, climb, explore, swim, sleep, eat
and play. Camping may be just what a tired brain needs.


Take
Carl
for
example .He
lives
in
West
Virginia
and
enjoys
camping.
He
says
that
staying
outdoors makes him feel at ease. It also prepares him for the work he must do. Kate Somers is
another example who also lives in West Virginia. She says she enjoys camping with her husband
and two children. She calls it a “
regenerative
” experience.

At the University of Utah, David Strayer has studied both short-term and long-term exposure to
nature. He found that spending short amounts of time in nature without technology does calm
the brain and helps it to remember better. However, he found, it is the long-term contact with
nature
that
does
the
most
good.
He
and
his
research
team
found
that
spending
three
days
in
nature without any technology is enough time for the brain to fully relax and reset itself.
