The Smell of Money
For many years large supermarkets have been encouraging us to spend money by pumping the smell of
freshly-baked bread into their stores. Now Dale Air, a leading firm of aroma(香气)consultants, has been
approached by Barclay's Bank to develop suitable artificial smells for their banks.Researchers have suggested
that surrounding customers with the"smell of money"will encourage them to feel relaxed and optimistic and
give them added confidence in the bank's security and professionalism.
But before a smell can be manufactured and introduced into banks' air conditioning systems,it must be
identified and chemically analyzed,and this has proved to be difficult.The problem is that banknotes and
coins tend to pick up the smell of their surroundings.So cash that has been sitting in a cash register at a
fishmonger's(鱼贩)will smell of fish,and banknotes used to pay for meals in restaurants will tend to smell
of food.
It may be a challenge,but aroma experts have little doubt that the use of artificial smells can be an effective
form of subconscious advertising. Lunn Poly,a British travel company,introduced the smell of coconuts(椰
子)into its travel agencies and saw a big increase in spending by holiday makers.Many cafs now have elec-
tric dispensers(自动售货机)that release the smell of freshly roasted coffee near their entrances, subtly
encouraging customers to come in and have a drink or snack. Even prestigious car maker Rolls-Royce has
been spraying the inside of its cars to enhance the smell of the leather seats.
"The sense of smell is probably the most basic and primitive of all human senses,"explains researcher
Jim O'Riordan. "There is a direct pathway from the olfactory(嗅觉的)organs in the nose to the brain."It
is certainly true that most people find certain smells incredibly strong,stirring memories and feelings in a way
that few other stimulants(刺激物)can rival. It is a phenomenon marketing consultants have long recog-
nized,but until recently have been unable to harness."We've made great progress but the technology of
odour production is still in its infancy,"says O'Riordan."Who knows where it will take us."
选项
Researchers believe that introducing the"smell of money"into banks will encourage people_________.
A:to spend money
B:to feel confident about banks
C:to earn more money
D:to withdraw money from banks
答案
B
解析
由第一段第一句“.large supermarkets...pumping the smell”可知D项正确,由第三段中 "a British travel...smell of coconuts...Many cafs...release the smell of freshly...”可知,A、C两项 正确。在银行正使用人工香味只是一个打算还没有实施。
由第一段最后一句“…added confidence in the bank's",可知选B。
由第二段第一句中“…it must be identified and chemically analysed ,and this has proved to be difficult”可知选B。
harness在语境中意为“控制”,与control同义。
由最后一段倒数第二句“the technology of odour production is still in its infancy”可知,生 产那种香味的技术还在初始阶段。in its infancy相当于in the early stage。
