【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。

你知道现在的商家是怎么吸引顾客的吗？

他们效仿古埃及店主的做法，通过对商店的环境做一些改变来吸引顾客。

9．Whydostoresusuallydisplayfruitsandvegetablesinthefirstsection?

A．Tosavecustomers'

time.

B．Toshowtheyarehighqualityfoods.

C．Tohelpselljunkfood.

D．Tosellthematdiscountprices.

根据第二段的举例内容可知，商家如此摆放水果和蔬菜的目的是让先买健康食品的顾客感到高兴，这样他们稍后就会买更多的垃圾食品了。

解题时不能凭主观臆断选择答案，B项干扰性很强，商家展示自己商品的高质量是毋庸置疑的，但本文并未提及。

B．Tointroducehowbusinesseshavegrownfromthepast.

C．Toreportresearchesoncustomerbehaviour.

D．Toshowdishonestbusinesspractices.

目的意图题。

文章的第一段就点明了主题。

本文主要介绍的是商家是通过哪些手段把人们变成顾客的。

因此答案选A。

文章虽然提到了古埃及，但并不是介绍商家是如何从过去发展而来的，因此B项不对；

文章主要聚焦在商家的一些做法上，因此C项有误；

D项的dishonest一词与全文的基调不一致，文章只是客观介绍，并没有暗示商家不诚实。
