tap water at no charge with their meal, but this week many restaurants are asking dinners to pay a dollar, or more, for a glass of water. cards on their tables explain that this small amount helps bring clean water to children around the world. its called the unicef tap project.“unicefs tap project is really all about bringing attention to the fact that over 900 million people around the globe do not have access to good, clean, healthy drinking water,” says cary stem, who heads the us fund for unicef. she adds that water-borne illness is the second-highest cause of preventable childhood death in the world.“each and every day approximately 4,100 children die just because they dont have that access - 4,100 every single day.”the public service campaign encourages people to help change that statistic with a simple, affordable action: paying a dollar to get a glass of tap water at a restaurant.“one dollar buys enough good, clean water for a child for 40 days,” stem says.“the tap project has expanded since it began five years ago with 300 restaurants in new york city. this year, stem says, about 3,000 restaurants across the country are participating in the campaign. we raised about $2.5 million over the last five years of this campaign,” says stem. “l(fā)ast year, we raised over $1 million for the first time. this year were hoping to top that.”stem credits the continued success of the campaign to an army of volunteers who support the tap project and raise money in their communities.the unicef tap project is promoting its efforts with a simple motto: when you take water, give water. currently, unicef works in more than 100 countries around the world to improve access to safe water and sanitation facilities in schools and communities.stem hopes that, by participating in the project, more americans will realize that what they often take for granted is a precious and scarce resource in many other parts of the world.72. restaurants began to charge for tap water to _. a. increase their profit b. urge customers to save water c. raise peoples awareness of the world water problem d. collect money for those without access to safe water73. we can learn

sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand(品牌) of product on the shelf.colouring, for example, varies according to what the producers are trying to sell. health foods are packaged (包裝) in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colours. ice cream packets are often blue and expensive goods, like chocolates, are gold or silver. when some kind of pain killer was brought out recently, researchers found that the colours turned the customers off because they made the product look weak and ineffective . eventually, it came on the market in a dark blue and white packageblue because we think of it as safe, and white as calm.the size of a product can attract a shopper. but quite often a bottle doesnt contain as much as it appears to. it is believed that the better-known companies spend, on average,70 per cent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging!the most successful producers know that its not enough to have a good

drove to the only service station in that town.“do you fix flats?” he inquired of the attendant.“yes,” came the answer.“how much do you charge?” he asked. with a twinkle in his eye, the man replied, “what difference does it make?” this is what has been called a “hobsons choice”. a hobsons choice is a situation that forces a person to accept whatever is offered or go without. according to barbara berliner, the phrase was inspired by sixteenth-century entrepreneur (企業(yè)家) thomas hobson. there was no choice by the customer it was strictly hobsons choice. but often we really have a choice, and the choice does make a difference. we may not always believe it. we may feel as if we have no choice, but almost always there is a choice in the matter. and when we realize that we do most things by choice, then we are taking control of our own lives. someone challenged me to try an experiment that completely changed my perspective. “for the next seven days,” he said, “eliminate the words i have to from your vocabulary and say i choose to. dont say, i have to work late tonight. instead, say, i choose to work late. when you choose to do it, you take control of your life. instead of saying, i
