20、re interested in the picture than in breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, or a small gift inside a box also motivate many children to buy products or to ask their parents to buy for them. Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for noth
21、ing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this. Although a similar product in plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost
22、of the product. The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has “Economy Size“ or “Family Size“ printed on it.

23、 the price of the basic unit. The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement.

26、as nothing to do with the quality of the product. （ C） The best choice for a buyer is to buy a product in a plain package. （ D） A buyer should buy what he needs most rather than a well-designed package. 43 Which of the following sentences is NOT true according to the passage? （ A） In fact glasses or
27、 dishes used for packaging do not cost money at all. （ B） Family Size printed on the package means that it is rather economic. （ C） To a child, even to an adult, the form is far more important than the content. （ D） Words and pictures written on the package are thought to be an advertisement. 44 Wha
