46.Directions：

  Translate the following text into Chinese. Your  translation should be written on the ANSWER SHEET. (15 points)

　　A fifth grader gets a homework assignment to select his future career path from a list of occupations. He ticks “astronaut” but quickly adds “scientist” to the list and selects it as well. The boy is convinced that if he reads enough, he can explore as many career paths as he likes. And so he reads——everything from encyclopaedia to science fiction novels. He reads so fervently that his parents have to institute a “no reading policy” at the dinner table.

　　That boy was Bill Gates, and he hasn’t stopped reading yet——not even after becoming one of the most successful people on the planet. Nowadays, his reading material has changed from science fiction to reference books: recently, he revealed that he reads at least 50 nonfiction books a year. Gates chooses nonfiction titles because they explain how the world works. “Each book opens up new avenues of knowledge to explore,”——Gates say.

【译文】：一个五年级的学生拿到了一份家庭作业，要他在一份职业列表中选出自己未来的职业道路。他勾选了“宇航员”，但是又迅速地把“科学家”加到列表中，也勾选上了。这个男孩相信，他如果读了足够多的书，那么就能随心探索自己的职业道路。因此，他博览群书，从百科全书到科幻小说都有所涉猎。他非常痴迷于读书，以至于他的父母不得不制定在吃饭的时候“不准看书”的政策。

　　这个男孩就是比尔·盖茨，他到现在都没有停止阅读——即使他成为了世界上最成功的人之一。现在，他阅读的材料从科幻小说变成了参考书籍：最近，他透露自己每年至少阅读50本非小说类书籍。盖茨选择非小说类书籍，是因为这些书可以解释世界如何运转。“每一本书都会打开探索知识的新道路，”盖茨说道。

46. Directions：

  Translate the following text into Chinese. Your  translation should be written on the ANSWER SHEET. (15 points)

　　The supermarket is designed to lure customers into spending as much time as possible within its doors. The  reason for this is simple：The longer you stay in the store, the more stuff you'll see, and the more stuff you see, the more you'll buy. And supermarkets contain a lot of stuff. The average supermarket, according to the Food Marketing  Institute, carries some 44,00 different items, and many carry tens of thousands more. The sheer volume of available choice is enough to send shoppers into a state of information  overload. According to brain-scan experiments, the demands of so much decision-making quickly become too much for us. After about 40 minutes of shopping, most people stop struggling to be rationally selective, and instead begin shopping  emotionally - which is the point at which we accumulate the 50 percent of stuff in our cart that we never intended buying.

【译文】：超市设计的目的就是为了使消费者花尽可能多的时间在店内逛。理由很简单：你在店里待的时间越长，你看到的东西就越多;你看到的东西越多，你买的东西就越多。超市中有各种各样的商品。根据食品营销研究所的调查，平均每个超市约有4400种不同种类的商品，有的超市甚至有成千上万种商品。琳琅满目的商品足以让顾客眼花缭乱。根据脑部扫描实验，迅速做出决定对我们来说实在太难。40分钟的购物经历后，绝大部分人已不再是理性选择，而开始感性消费。这就是为什么购物车里的商品会有50%是我们本不打算买的。
