【原文題目】

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 buy. And supermarkets contain a lot of stuff. The average supermarket, according to the Food Market Institute, carries some 44,000 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 the 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 began shopping to be rationally selective, and instead began shopping emotionally-which is the point at which we accumulate the 50 percent of stuff in our cart that we never intended buying.

超市旨在吸引顧客在店里停留盡量長的時(shí)間。原因非常簡單：顧客在店里停留的時(shí)間越長，看到的商品越多，買的越多。超市陳列了大量的商品。根據(jù)食品推廣協(xié)會(huì)的調(diào)查，一般超市里有約44000種不同的商品;大多數(shù)超市都有上萬種。如此眾多的選擇足以使顧客面對(duì)的信息過于繁雜。根據(jù)腦部掃描實(shí)驗(yàn)，需要快速的做這么多的決定就會(huì)使我們太累。大約購物40分鐘以后，大多人就不會(huì)拼命去做出理性的選擇，取而代之的是沖動(dòng)購物--此時(shí)，在購物車?yán)铮�我們已�?jīng)裝了一半根本沒想買的東西。
