Store Scent
What is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop? The products displayed
(展示) at the entrance? Or the soft background music?
But have you ever noticed the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is likely to be no.
But while a shop's scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds, it is
certainly there. And it is proving to be an increasingly powerful tool in encouraging
people to purchase.
A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the
fairly dark hall and out to the entrance, via scent machines. A smell may be attractive
but it may not just be used for freshening air. One sports goods company once reported
that when it first introduced scent into its stores, customers' intention to purchase
increased by 80 percent.
When it comes to the best shopping streets in Paris, scent is just as important to a
brand's success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sale. That is mainly
because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be.

When it comes to the best shopping streets in Paris, scent is just as important to a
brand's success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sale. That is mainly
because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be. (e‐commerce) has
opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while e‐shops can use sights and
sounds, only bricks‐and‐mortar stores (实体店) can offer a full experience from the
minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store
seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a destination. And scent is just one way
to achieve this.
Now, a famous store uses complex man‐made smell to make sure that the soft scent
of baby powder floats through the kid department, and coconut (椰子) scent in the
swimsuit section. A department store has even opened a new lab, inviting customers on
a journey into the store's windows to smell books, pots and drawers, in search of their
perfect scent.

Steven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when
you consider that he's an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter,
including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even
more interesting is that one of Stein's jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic
shopping bags.
Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many
end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not
allow them at checkouts (收银台) . The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in
California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic‐bag makers are
hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the
planet as most people assume.

Among the bag makers' argument: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to
purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to
produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they
represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today.
The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its
replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its
life and the more plastic‐bag use it cancels out. However, longer‐lasting reusable
bags often require more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must
be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.
Environmentalists don't dispute (质疑) these points. They hope paper bags will
be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for
years.

Back in New York, I am in charge of development for a non‐profit organization
called Robin Hood. When I'm not fighting poverty, I'm fighting fires as the assistant
captain of a volunteer fire company. Now in our town, where the volunteers
supplement a highly skilled career staff, you have to get to the fire scene pretty early
to get in on any action.
I remember my first fire. I was the second volunteer on the scene. When I found
the captain, he was having a very engaging conversation with the homeowner, who
was surely having one of the worst days of her life. In the middle of the night, she was
standing outside in the pouring rain, in her pajamas, barefoot, while her house was in
flames.

The other volunteer who had arrived just before me was asked to go inside and
save the homeowner's dog. The dog! I was shocked with jealousy. Then the captain
waved me over and said, "Bill, I need you to go into the house and get this woman a
pair of shoes." Not exactly what I was hoping for, but off I went — past the 'real'
firefighters, who were pretty much done putting out the fire, into the bedroom to get
a pair of shoes. I knew I was no hero. A few weeks later, the department received a
letter from the homeowner.
The act of kindness she noted above all others: someone had even gotten her a
pair of shoes.
In both my vocation at Robin Hood and my avocation as a volunteer firefighter, I
am witness to acts of generosity and kindness on a monumental scale, but I'm also
witness to acts of grace and courage on an individual basis. Not every day is going to
offer us a chance to save somebody's life, but every day offers us an opportunity to
affect one.

I remember my first fire. I was the second volunteer on the scene. When I found
the captain, he was having a very engaging conversation with the homeowner, who
was surely having one of the worst days of her life. In the middle of the night, she
was standing outside in the pouring rain, in her pajamas, barefoot, while her house
was in flames.

Does Fame Drive You Crazy?
Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today's stars, feeling
like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of
much of the world's attention. Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes,
cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just
imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for
a signature!
According to psychologist Christina Villarreal, celebrities (名星) — famous people,
worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of
who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the
people they were before everyone knew their names. "Over time," Villarreal says,
"they feel separated and alone."
The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th
century B. C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his
victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century,
his sold out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain (抱怨)
about his lack of privacy (隐私). Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about
film‐stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.

Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be.
Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern
cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always
the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their "story" alive forever.
If fame is so troublesome, why aren't all celebrities running away from it? The
answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding
themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away
from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or
whatever made them famous in the first place.
Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full
justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous
already.
