Bargaining is the rule here in Beijing. At least, it is so in most markets and back—street clothes shops. Bargaining is an art and if you are unfamiliar(不熟悉) with it, we'd like to offer you some advice. The tips(竅門) here are often used in Beijing but may help you at any place in the world where bargaining is practiced.
DO NOT say how much you want to pay for an item(物品) unless it's near the end of the bargaining. Always try and drop the seller's offering price as much as possible before opening your mouth with a price.
DO throw out really low prices like 10 RMB with a big smile.
DO keep smiling from the beginning to the end. The seller usually continues bargaining with a happy smiling face. Getting angry hardly gets you the price you want.
KEEP in mind the price offered by the seller at the beginning is usually at least 40% over the generally reasonable price. It can be up to 500% over.
DO have an idea of what the item costs. You can ask your friends, people in the hotel or others you know, or look at the list below. This is very general and is based(根據(jù)) on a market like Xiu Shui. You may not be able to get the lowest prices at Xiu Shui, especially on a weekend when there are lots of tourists around.
(1)Who is this passage written for?
A.Owners of back—street shops.

C.Don't get angry.
D.Don't say anything.
(4)What is NOT included in the tips often used to bargain in Beijing?
A.Find out the true price and go to the markets with friends.
B.Don't offer your price until the end of the bargaining with a smile.
C.Drop the seller's offering price four or five times(倍)until he agrees.

【題目】任務(wù)型閱讀

Whenever the sun dropped and the moon came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, "You should have goals like climbing the mountain," Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn't have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy, I really got a lot from mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience (耐力).

Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds' singing, but as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing. In fact, I hated it at that moment, but my father said to me, "You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can't see it before you reach the top. (59) Only there at the top can you see all of the nice things, just like in life. "

At that time,(60)我太小以至于不能理解他的話。 But later after that, I got new hope and confidence (信心). I found myself standing at the top of the sky, which was as clear as crystal (水晶).
