A bargain is something offered at a low and advantageous price．A more recent definition is：a bargain is a dirty trick to force money out of the pockets of silly and innocent people．
   The cost of producing a new-for example - toothpaste would make 80 p the proper price for it，so we will market it at ￡1.20．It is not a bad toothpaste，and as people like to try new things it will sell well to start with；but the attraction（吸引） of novelty soon disappears，so sales will fall．When that happens we will reduce the price to ￡1.15．And we will turn it into a bargain by printing 5 p OFF all over it．
   Sometimes it is not 5 p OFF but 1 p OFF．What breathtaking rudeness to advertise 1 p OFF your soap or washing powder or whatever!Even the poorest old-age pensioner ought to regard this as an insult（侮辱），but he doesn't．A bargain must not be missed．People say one has to have washing powder （or whatever） and one might as well buy it a penny cheaper．
   The real danger starts when unnecessary things become 'bargains'．Many people just cannot resist bargains．Provided they think they are getting a bargain they will buy clothes they will never wear or furniture they have no space for．Once I heard of a man who bought an electric saw as a bargain and cut off two of his fingers the next day．But he had no regrets：the saw had been truly cheap．
   Quite a few people actually believe that they make money on such bargains．A lady once told me： "I've had a lucky day today．I bought a dress for ￡120，reduced from ￡400；and l bought a beautiful Persian carpet for ￡600，reduced from ￡900．" It will never occur to her that she has actually wasted ￡720．She feels as though she had made ￡580．She also feels，I am sure，that if she had more time for shopping，she could make a living out of it．
   Some people buy in large quantities because it is cheaper．Once a couple bought enough sugar for their lifetime and the lifetime of their children and grandchildren．They thought it a bargain not to be missed．When the sugar arrived they didn't know where to store it - until they realized that their toilet was a very spacious one．So that was where they piled up their sugar．Not only did their guests feel rather strange whenever they were offered sugar to put into their coffee，but the toilet became extremely sticky．
   To offer bargains is a commercial trick to make the poor poorer．When greedy fools fall for this trick，it serves them right．

2．Like the rest of us，scientists have long suspected the healing capacity（修復(fù)能力）of a good hug.Unlike the rest of us，they've gone about trying to prove it.
   "Laboratory studies suggest that things like hugs help us feel safer.They can also make us less sensitive to physical pain and less reactive when we're faced with threatening experiences，" says Michael Murphy.He is a research professor in the department of psychological sciences at Texas Tech University. "This lab work has shown that hugs and other touch behavior are related to stress.The more stress we have，the more our heart rates and blood pressure go up.At this time，hugs and other forms of personal touch may give off all sorts of feel-good chemicals，so that stress can be reduced."
   "There's a lot that we still need to learn，and there's a lot we don't know，" Murphy says. "However，what seems to be rising up is that hugs，as well as other forms of loving and gentle touch，are really powerful.They remind people that they're cared about and that they have someone in their corner."
   "We expect touch.When we were born，we were placed in our mothers' arms almost immediately.In that first year of our life，we spend a lot of time being held by other people.And as we grow up，we seek out hugs and touch as a way of connection.I think what we have lost in the past few years are these really easy opportunities to be reminded of connection. " While he was at Carnegie Mellon，Murphy was the lead author of a hug-centered 2018 article in the scientific journal PLOS One.In a series of interviews with 404 adults over a two-week period，the researchers found that receiving a hug is associated with the attenuation of negative emotions that occur on days with interpersonal conflicts.That is to say，generally，hugs help to reduce the negative impacts that personal conflicts may cause in our daily lives.

（1）What can we infer about hugs from the laboratory studies？

A．They show people's good social relationships.
B．They can cure us of our mental disease.
C．They can put much pressure on people.
D．They make us feel calm and at ease.
（2）Why do people seek out hugs and touch as they grow up？

A．To recall childhood memories.
B．To keep connected with others.
C．To solve relationship problems.
D．To express their social politeness.
（3）What does the underlined word "attenuation" in the last paragraph probably mean？

A．Expression.
B．Influence.
C．Suffering.
D．Reduction.
（4）What can be a suitable title for the text？

A．The Power of Hugs
B．How to Reduce Stress
C．How to Care for Others
D．The Importance of Interpersonal Relations
