Everyone has an ambition to travel. But those who cannot do so themselves might find it interesting to work in a travel agency, arranging journeys for other people. Brian Lawtey does this, working in a small travel agency in an industrial city. Most of his work is concerned with holiday, both at home and abroad. Every autumn, the agency sends out hundreds of booklets full of attractive, colored photographs, describing the holidays that their customers will be able to have the next year. Soon, people begin to come into the office to book their holidays: perhaps a week’s skiing in Austria in January, perhaps a cruise to the Caribbean in February, perhaps a seaside holiday in Spain in May, or a tour of Africa. Brian often has to advise people on what holidays will be suitable for them, and they always have a lot of questions. Last year, for example, a lady of eighty-two wanted to book for a mountaineering holiday in the Alps, and Brian had great difficulty in persuading her that it would not be suitable. In the end, she decided to go for a Mediterranean cruise instead.

  Arranging journeys for people who have to travel abroad on business is often very complicated, but Brian enjoys this work. For example, last spring Mr. Perry,a director of chemical firm, went on a business trip, and Brian arranged it all for him. First, Mr. Perry traveled to London by trainband stayed overnight in a hotel near the airport, because his plane left early the next morning. He flew to Frankfurt in Germany, where he spent the morning discussing business. Then he went on by train to Zurich, where he stayed the night. After a meeting the next morning, he caught a plane for Tokyo, and spent three days there before going to America. He had business in Seattle, Chicago and New York, and stayed some time in each of those places. From New York, he flew back to London,and then got home by train. The next day he telephoned the agency to thank Brian for arranging everything so well for him.

【1】 It's difficult enough to have privacy(隐私) in a house, so privacy in a small dorm room is next to impossible. However, it can be done if both roommates are willing to cooperate.

【2】 Step1  Tie a scarf to the outside doorknob as a symbol of Do Not Disturb, but be careful not to do this too consistently. Warn your roommate beforehand about possible days and times when this scarf will be on the door so your roommate will have time to make plans ahead of time instead of it being a surprise, especially if you plan to have an overnight guest. Be considerate if your roommate needs to get into the room regardless of the scarf on the door to get something out of the dorm because it is his dorm room too.

【3】 Step2  If one roommate is a light sleeper and the other is a heavy sleeper, the heavy sleeper could consider an alternate way to wake himself up besides an alarm. Heavy sleepers tend to ignore alarms, but sometimes vibrating (震动的) cell phones feel like someone is shaking them. It is also a quieter way to not disturb the light sleeping roommate using a vibrating cell phone.

【4】 Step3  Take cell phone calls outside of the room. Your roommate may not want to hear your conversation or you may want some privacy, but your roommate should not have to leave every time you have a phone call. The roommate who is not on the phone has no way of knowing how often you will have phone calls and should not be put out because you do.

【5】 Step4  Ask if it' s okay to have a guest in the room. Although your roommate is not your parent, and you may feel like this is your room too, remember that ____     . He may not want company when you do. If one roommate is more sociable than the other and guests become a repeated argument, consider asking the resident director if you can swap( 交换) roommate with someone else.

       B.Things to be advertised

61.__________________

       Advertising is a highly developed twentieth-century industry.The development of radio, television, cinema, magazines and newspapers has gone hand in hand with the development of advertising.Why is advertising so popular? Is it a waste of  money? It has been proved again and again that repeated advertising increases product sales.Since it increases production, the price can be reduced.Therefore advertising, instead of making a product more expensive, makes it cheaper.

62.______________________

       What can you advertise ? You can advertise products of all kinds, such as shoes or umbrellas, or services like car repairs and travel.In Europe and USA political leaders often use recorded TV advertisements to persuade people to vote for them.Besides broadcast advertisements on radio and TV, there are other ways to advertise : cinemas,magazines and newspapers, for example.Large boards can be used for printed posters,especially near main roads.A sign outside or inside a shop is a form of advertising.Balloons and light planes can be used to pull huge signs as they fly slowly over a city.

63.________________

       Advertising is now a scientific business.Once managers would say jokingly, " I know that half of what I spend on advertising is wasted, but I don't know  which half." Now, all parts of an advertising programme are properly measured and researched.

64. _________________

       How are advertisements made? A company goes to an advertising firm to discuss the advertising of its product.The firm collects as much information as possible about product and the consumers who might buy it.The person at the advertising firm in charge of the matter then holds a meeting.Also present will be a person who thinks up an idea for an advertisement, and a person who will buy space in the newspapers or time on TV.There will be a writer writing the text for the advertisement and a designer who will design it, using pictures or photographs or the text.

65._________________

       When the advertisement is ready, it is shown to the company.If the company agrees, they may try it out in a small part of the country to see if product sales increases as a result of the advertisement.If they do, then it will be used throughout the country.If the advertisement fails, the whole program will be reviewed.Researchers will go out and interview possibles customers to find out the reasons for this failure.
