You’re in a department store and you see a couple of attractive young women looking at a sweater. You listen to their conversation:
“I can’t believe it —a Lorenzo Bertolla! They are almost impossible to find. Isn’t it beautiful? And it’s a lot cheaper than the one Sara bought in Rome.”
They leave and you go over to see this incredible sweater.It's nice and the price is right.You've never heard of Lorenzo Bertolla, but those girls looked really stylish.They must know.So, you buy it.You never realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agency.They are actually paid to go from store to store, talking loudly about Lorenzo BertoHa clothes.
Every day we notice what people are wearing, driving and eating.If the person looks cool, the product seems cool, too.This is the secret of undercover(暗中影响的) marketing.Companies from Ford to Nike are starting to use it.
Undercover marketing is important because it reaches people that don't pay attention to traditional advertising.This is particularly true of the MTV generation----consumers between the age of 18 and 34.It is a golden group.They have a lot of money to spend, but they don't trust ads.
So advertising agencies hire young actors to "perform" in bars and other places where young adults go.Some people might call this practice deceptive, but marketing executive Jonathan Ressler calls it creative."Look at traditional advertising.Its effectiveness is decreasing."
However, one might ask what exactly is "real" about of young women pretending to be enthusiastic about a sweater? Adverting executives would say it's no less real than an ad.The difference is that you know an ad is trying to persuade you to buy something.You don' t know when a conversation you overhear is just a performance.
1.The two attractive young women were talking so that they could ________.
A.get the sweater at a lower price B.be heard by people around
C.be admired by other shoppers D.decide on buying the sweater
2.Lorenzo Bertolla is __________.
A.a very popular male singer B.an advertising agency
C.a clothing company in Rome D.the brand name of a sweater
3.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A.The two girls are in fact employed by the Lorenzo Bertolla Company.
B.The MTV generation tend to be more easily influenced by ads.
C.Traditional advertising is becoming less effective because it's too direct.
D.Undercover marketing will surely be banned soon by the government.
4.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A.Two Attractive Shoppers B.Lorenzo Bertolla Sweaters
C.Ways of Advertising D.Undercover Marketing
It was once thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and/or heavy automobile traffic. Today, we know that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is literally worldwide. On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the entire eastern half of the United States and led to health warnings even in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be affected by air pollution. Some scientists feel that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels(coal and oil) creating a greenhouse effect-holding in heat reflected from the earth and raising the world’s average temperature. If this view is correct and the world’s temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be under water.
Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particulate matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth’s temperature-a result that would be equally disastrous(灾难的). A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age, and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas. At present we do riot know for sure that either of these conditions will happen(though one recent government report prepared by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very likely). Perhaps, if we very lucky, the two tendencies will offset each other and the world’s temperature will stay about the same as it is now.
1.As pointed out at the beginning of the passage, people used to think that air pollution ______.
A.caused widespread damage in the countryside
B.affected the entire eastern half of the United States
C.almost brought worldwide effect
D.existed merely in urban and industrial areas
2.As far as the greenhouse effect is concerned, the author _____________.
A.shares the same view with the scientists
B.is uncertain of its occurrence
C.rejects it as being ungrounded(无根据的)
D.thinks that it will increasingly destroy the world soon
3.It can be inferred from the passage that .
A.raising the world’s temperature a little would not do much harm to life on the earth
B.lowering the world’s temperature a little would lead to agricultural disasters
C.almost no temperature variations have occurred over the past decade
D.the world’s temperature will remain stable forever
4.This passage is primarily concerned with .
A.the greenhouse effect in the world
B.the measures to adjust the climate
C.the potential effect of air pollution
D.the measures to protect the environment
Net Library Is a library that lends out digital books.It treats a digital like a paperback copy.It charges libraries per book per copy and gives publishers a cut of the total income.
From the consumer's point of view, this means that if more than, say, five people want the latest Danielle Steel romance novel, other people who request that book will get a message saying the title can't be found.
It's a model many publishers seem to have embraced.More than 350 gave the company rights to hand out their digital works and McGraw-Hill Corporation and Houghton Mifflin Corporation have put money in the company.The California public libraries and about 1,800 others across the US are trying out the Net Library service.
Some librarians criticize the New Library model.Stanford University librarian Michael Keller argues that the company is creating an unnatural fear of digital woks; which is contrary to the ideas of the Internet.
Keller and some other librarians argue for the e-book vision set forth by E-Brary.E-Brary is starting a service mat lets us users read books for free.
But it will charge about 25 cents a page when a person tries to print out material or copy and paste it into a different file or tries to download copy onto a computer.
Christopher Warnock, chief executive of E-Brary, believes most consumers won't want to buy entire books, only the parts that interest them.
"There's not really a lot of good m owning an electronic file and having to store it and manage it.It doesn't make sense." he said.
1.How do publishers get money from the Net Library?

2.The underlined word "embraced" in the 3rd paragraph means _ ___.
A.taken something willingly B.held something tightly

3.From the 2nd paragraph we can see consumers .
A.don’t care if they are charged money
B.enjoy the service of the Net Library
C.don’t like other people borrowing books
D.complain about the limited number of the new books
4.What does the last paragraph mean?
A.Net Library is not a good way for the consumers.
B.There is no need for consumers to have a whole book.
C.E-Brary is not a good library for the consumers.
D.It’s reasonable to charge the consumers money for copying some pages.
"Time is a problem for children," states a news report for a new Swiss watch.Children in some countries "learn time slowly" because "they don't wear watches" and "parents don't really know how to teach them time." The children grow up with this handicap and become adults-and then can't get to work on time.Is there an answer to this problem? Of course-it's the Flick Flak, made by a famous Swiss watch company.
The Flick Flak is being marketed as something teaching watch for children aged 4 to 10.The watch itself does not teach children how to tell time, of course; it merely "takes their imagination" by presenting the "hour" hand as a beautiful red girl named Flak and the "minute" hand as a tall blue boy named Flick.Flick points to related "blue" minutes on the dial, while Flak points to "red" hour numbers.The characters and colors combined with parental help, are supposed to teach young children how to tell time.
The watch comes equipped with a standard battery and a nylon band (尼龙表带).Peter Lipkin, the United States sales manager for the Flick Flak, calls it "childproof: if it gets dirty you can throw the whole watch in the washing machine." The product is being sold in select department stores in Europe, Asia and the United States for a suggested price of $25.Parents who buy the watch may discover that it is one thing to tell time; it's quite another for them to be on time.
