I had this exchange with my 6-year-old last week.

       Him: Mom, we have to start buying Danimals.

       Me: Why?

       Him: So, I can bring it to |school for lunch.It's yogurt .

       Me: Why do you want it so badly?

       Him: Because Danimals i|s giving away five fantastic Caribbean vacations.

       I had to explain that there was little chance that he would win a vacation.It's a strategy used to encourage kids to beg for artificially-colored (人工着色的) yogurt that costs a lot.

       Marketing follows my kids —and yours—wherever they go .It comes via TV commercials. Store displays and websites are also constantly selling at our kids .But the most powerful means in kids" lives is the presence of licensed characters on every product imaginable.

       Children can begin their day in character clothing.There's even character -themed wall paint available.A breakfast in a character bowl can be followed by a character toothbrush and character toothpaste(牙膏), character soap and shampoo, and a character wash cloth and towel .Then, they can put on character clothing and character shoes.Check that, character clock on the wall: Is it time for characier-shaped fruit snacks yet?

       Surround kids with enough of the characters and they'll come to believe they need them.Most of us, of course, don't buy all those items.But say no to four products out of five and your home can still get filled with these tiny items encouraging brand loyalty (品牌忠诚)

       At this time of year, parents buy licensed school supplies.With so much marketing around us, it can be tough to stop the tide.

       "One thing that helps parents'is that they can talk to other parents about, this kind of thing," Linn suggested ."If you decide you want to buck this, it helps to find other people who will do the same thing .That way, if your child says."Everyone's doing it," you can really have a sense of whether everyone is." |

From the dialogue between the author and the son, we can infer that ____-

       A.the son likes drinking yogurt a lot.

       B.buying Danimals may win a free tour

       C.the son's school encourages kids to eat yogurt

       D.Danimals in the most popular yogurt among kids.

We can learn from th^ passage that     '

       A.character bowls increase kids' appetite.

       B.character-themed wall paint is expensive

       C.household goods are becoming the target of advertisers.

       D.Linn considered character-themed products a foolish marketing strategy.

The underlined word "buck" in the last paragraph probably means _____.

       A.support        B.resist           C.advertise            D.learn

What does the passage mainly tell us ?  .

       A.Marketing is affecting kids all the time.

       B.Most kids now don't have a happy childhood,

       C.Kids like buying licensed school supplies a lot.

       D.Licensed character produce are doing great harm to kids.

I’ll call my father tomorrow which is Father’s Day. Every other  1  I call,Morn answers and Dad quietly picks up the  2  and listens in to our conversation.But  3  Father’s Day, we will talk a little about my job,my family and the weather. Then Dad will say,“Thanks for 4    ,son ,”and hang up.

       5  it is almost summer, every year after our Father’s Day talk,I’m left with images of my father and the cold.As a boy I watched him out of the kitchen window  6  our lane(道) of snow with the first snow blower(旋转式清雪机). First,he’d do our walk and then he’d blow the lanes of the shut-ins(不能出门的病人),the single morns,and poorer folks,  7  could not seem to get it together.

    I  8  him and learned from him,but I  9  not remember my father and me ever having much of a conversation.Nothing that he  10  shared、vim me in a heart-felt way showed that he may be  11 ,upset or ready to climb the wall.

 The last time I saw my father, I asked him to go out for a  12  with me.The sun was setting over the lake and I said,“Come on.We don’t  13   much time together any more. Let’s go. ”Father looked at me meaningfully and said,“  14  . ”

 That visit to my father was about a week before September 11 th.I was near Ground Zero on that day and for five hours  15  the first plane struck, my family did not know of my whereabouts(下落). 16   for me I arrived back at our home in Brooklyn.My biggest  17    was that my wife told me my father was  18  to drive from his home on Lake Huron to Ground Zero to find me.

    To love the remote father is to face this paradox(矛盾):to accept his refusal of my  19 for a sunset walk with his worry that I might have died with thousands of others last September; to deeply know, if not accept,that is his way, the way a man of  10  words,snowblower of shut-ins and lonely hearts,can best show a father’s love.
