27、The producers of instant coffee found their product strongly resisted in the market despite their products obvious advantages. Furthermore, the ad money for instant coffee was far greater than that for regular coffee. Efforts were made to find the cause of consumers seemingly unreasonable resistance
28、 to the product. The reason given by most people was dislike for the taste. The producer suspected that there might be deeper reasons, however. This was confirmed by one of motivation studies, one often cited in the trade. Mason Haire drew up two shopping lists that were the same except for one item
29、: hamburger, carrots, bread, baking powder, canned peaches, and potatoes, with the brands or amounts specified. The seventh item, in fifth place on both lists, read “one pound Maxwell House coffee“ on the list and “Nescafe instant coffee“ on the other. One list was given to each one in a group of fi
30、fty women, and the other list to those in the other group of the same size. The women were asked to study their list and then to describe, as far as they could, the kind of woman who would draw up that shopping list. Nearly half of those who had received the list including instant coffee described a
31、 housewife who was lazy. On the other hand, only one woman in the other group described the housewife, who had included regular coffee on her list, as lazy; only six of that group suggested that she was probably not a good wife.

In many American universities the total wor
36、k for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four year
37、s attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice. For every course, a stud
38、ent is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to possible future employers.
