A

At thirteen, I was diagnosed

（

诊所）

with

kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult

for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.

In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within

45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have

attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”

She

glanced

down

at

me

through

her

glasses,

“you

are

no

different

from

your

classmates,

young man.”

I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.

In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a

blind person, Louis Braille. He liv

ed in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But

Louis didn’t give up. Instead, h invented a reading system of raised dots

（点）

, which opened up a

whole new world of knowledge to the blind.

Wasn’t

I

the

“blind”

in

my

class,

being

made

to

learn

like

the

“sighted”

students?

My

thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I

was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his

problems, why should I ever give up?

I didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise

when it came back to me the next day-

with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these

words:“ See what you can do when you keep trying?”

In ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply

by

making

changes

to

its

environment.

Modern

businesses

have

been

following

his

lead,

with

more tactics

.

One

tactic

involves

where

to

display

the

goods.

example,

stores

place

fruits

and

vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel

happy so that they will buy more junk food

（垃圾食品）

later in their trip. In department stores,

section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics(

化妆品

) section

：

while the shop assistant is

going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over cosmetics they

might want to try later.

Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers’ senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked

goods encourages shopping, they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell

into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when

French music was played, sales of French wine went up.

When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They

find that customers make decision in the first few second upon walking in the door, and turn it into

a

business

opportunity.
