9.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 (暗中进行的)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 18and 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 misleading,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.

60.The two attractive young women were talking so that they couldB.
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
61.Lorenzo Bertolla isD.
A.a very popular male singer            B.an advertising agency
C.a clothing company in Rome            D.the brand name of a sweater
62.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?C
A.The two girls are in fact employed by the Lorenzo Bertolla Company.
B.The MTV generation tends 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.
63.Which of the following would be the best rifle for the text?D
A.Two Attractive Shoppers       B.Lorenzo Bertolla Sweaters
C.Ways of Advertising           D.Undercover Marketing.

分析 本文主要通过引用了两个女人在商店里高声谈话来推广一个品牌的例子,介绍了新型的卧底营销(undercover marketing).同时通过与传统广告对比,说明了新型营销手段的优势.

解答 60-63BDCD
60  B   细节题.由第三段最后两句"…those young women are employees of an advertising agency.They are actually paid to go from store to store,talking loudly about Lorenzo Bertolla clothes"可知,这两个女人其实是广告公司雇佣来的专门在商店里大声谈论 Lorenzo Bertolla 牌子的衣服,好让别的顾客听见,也去买这个牌子的衣服.故正确答案为B.
61    D  推断题.由第一段第一句"…a couple of attractive young women looking at a sweater"可知这两个女人正在看一件毛衣(sweater).由第二段第一句"I can't believe it-Lorenzo Bertolla"可知,她们看着这件毛衣惊叹道:"真不敢相信,是 Lorenzo Bertolla 牌的."因此这件毛衣是 Lorenzo Bertolla 牌的,由此可以推断出 Lorenzo Bertolla 是一个服装品牌.故正确答案为D.
62   C  推断题.由最后一段第四句"Its effectiveness is decreasing"可知传统广告越来越无效.由下一句"…because everyone knows an ad is trying to persuade you to buy something"可知,这是因为每个人都知道广告就是要劝人们买东西的.由此可见,传统广告失去效力的原因是因为太直接.故正确答案为C.
63   D  主旨题.本文主要通过引用了两个女人在商店里高声谈话来推广一个品牌的例子,介绍了新型的卧底营销(undercover marketing).同时通过与传统广告对比,说明了新型营销手段的优势.故正确答案为D.

Now you have a list to end all lists!
Take a look at the following two examples from the list of"101things not to do":
Swim with Dolphins (海豚)?
Swimming with dolphins is one of the world's most profitable tourist activities.However,every dolphin will welcome having their busy,tiring day interrupted by tourists screaming pushing around them in the water.Worse yet,when dolphins get too near to the boats loaded tourists,they could get caught up in ropes and killed by propellers (螺旋桨).
Here's a little secret.Dolphins look like smiling at you,but actually they're just opening mouths.
Go to See the Mona Lisa?
There must be something about the mysterious (神秘的) smile.The 6million people who visit the lady in the Louvre every year can't all be wrong after all.But they can be quite annoying,standing in front of you,holding up their cameras to prevent you from seeing anything.In fact it is hard for you to see the painting clearly because you have to stay away from it for security reasons.After queuing for hours,many tourists can remain in front of the painting only for 15seconds most.
If the mysterious lady in the picture knew her fate,she wouldn't just be smiling,she laughing.

14.If you are a fan of the Newbery-Award winning book Bridge to Terabithia,then you're going to love author Katherine Paterson's new creation The Day of the Pelican(鹈鹕).In the book,Paterson takes readers on a journey with 12year-old Meli Lleshi and her Albanian family of seven.
The family lives in Kosovo,in eastern Europe.The country is at war with neighboring Serbia.Eventually,life becomes too dangerous in Kosovo,so the Lleshis have to pack up and move out of their home.To Meli,leaving meant giving up her whole life.She will have to say goodbye to her friends,home,school and Baba's market.Worse,the family's trouble began,in Meli's mind,when she drew a picture of her teacher with a pelican nose and had to stay after school as punishment.
As the Lleshis travel along the road at night,they come across burning homes and other refugees just like them.Living in a tiny tent surrounded by many other people becomes tiring,and but for Baba's and Mama's efforts to keep the family together,the family would probably have given up.Every night,Meli longs to go home and Baba tells her,"Your home is with your family."With everyone already crowding together for food,now is not the time to complain.The family needs all their courage to keep going."We have to be very patient and very brave,"Meli says.
Soon,traveling from place to place becomes too much of a hassle(争论) and nearly breaks the family apart.Baba makes an important decision.The family will be moving to an exciting new country.There will be no enemies and no one to run from.They will be able to stay in one place and build a new life.Although Meli still longs for home she wonders if this will finally mean freedom for her family.
The Day of the Pelican is a book you won't be able to put down.Those who enjoy realistic fiction will love this moving story about Meli and her family.

In April of 1994,most of those 123nations signed an agreement.It replaced GATT with the World Trade Organization.
The W.T.O.1aunched a new round On development issues in Doha,Qatar,In November of 2001.These talks were supposed to end by January of 2005.But negotiations could not agree on issues involving agricultural protections.The current round has been suspended last July.

19.Pilates,yoga and the running machine get all the attention when it comes to popular ways to stay healthy.There is,however,a more humbleexercise that might not be so attractive,but has all benefits-walking.
Certified fitness professional Jolynn Jaekel explains,"What I love about walking is that anyone can do it at any age and any fitness level.Plus,it's good for your heart,your head and your wallet."
A recent report details the health benefits of walking.The report found that walking regularly to fulfill the 150 minutes of moderate physical exercise every week,recommended by the UK's chief medical officer,could save 37,000 lives each year.Scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California found that quick walking reduces the risk of heart disease more effectively than running.They observed participants aged between 18 and 80 over a six-year period and found that walking reduced the risk of heart disease by 9.3%,while running reduced it by 4.5%.And there is even more good news:30 minutes of quick walking over five days could help you sleep easily,according to research by Oregon State University.The study by the university showed that walking helped participants sleep better and feel more alert during the day.
The sooner you get started,the sooner you will notice the differences in your mind and body.
So,go out for your 30-minute walk in a nearby park or green space.
