There's $4. 99 for that box of Christmas candy, $299 for that TV, and $99. 99 for those stylish headphones. The trick of using 9s to price items is so common that we rarely think about it, and if we do, it’s likely to pity the poor suckers（易上当受骗的人）who don’t know ＄99. 99 is the same as $100. But the truth is you've probably been tripped up by 9-ending prices without even realizing it. A number of researchers have found something surprising about 9-ending prices. It's not just that $9. 99 isn't a better deal than $10; it's that it's often1 actually a bad deal. “The 9-ending does some magic to us, ” said Daniel Levy, an economics professor. In a 2021 pa­ per, Mr. Levy and Avichai Snir of Netanya Academic College found that when items' prices ended in 9, they were on average 18% higher than when those same items' prices had different endings. The finding held across a range of items such as cheese, crackers, bottled juices, canned soups, dish deter­ gents, painkillers, cigarettes and so on. The strategy, called “just below” pricing, as in “$9. 99 is just below $10, ” as well as psychologi­ cal, odd or charm pricing, has been around so long that no one is sure of its origins. One theory is that the use of the cash register, which was originally marketed as a device to stop employees from steal­ ing. Robert Schindler, a marketing professor at the Rutgers School of Business-Camden, is skeptical of the cash-register theory because he's found Macy's newspaper advertisements as early as 1880 touting prices like $. 99 and $1. 99 and proclaiming them “positively the best bargains ever offered, and cannot be equaled by any other house:” He believes the origin was always the psychological trick. Mr. Schindler, 15 years ago, proposed the existence of a "99-meaning paradox”": Consumers strongly associate prices ending in . 99 as being low, but that this cannot be due to a correlation（相关 性）between the 99-ending and low prices because such a correlation doesn’t exist. Yet, if consumers know by now that $9. 99 is basically the same as $10, why do retailers, who after all put serious thought into their pricing strategy, still use it? （北京）股份有限公司 24. Why do consumers tend to give little thought to 9-ending prices? A. They are not the poor suckers. B. They are so used to such prices. C. They think it's just a simple trick. D. They think $99. 99 is the same as $100. 25. What have the researchers found? A. $9. 99 isn't a worse deal in the least. B. If the price ended in . 99, you probably overpaid. C. People preferred to choose items with no 9-ending prices. D. Different endings of prices make no difference to consumers. 26. What does the underlined word “touting” mean? A. Rising. B. Changing. C. Advertising. D. Collapsing. 27. What might be discussed further in the coming paragraph? A. How people can avoid being fooled. B. Wh
