It serves directly to bring about a rapid sale of goods at reasonable prices, so setting up a firm home market and making it possible to provide for export at good prices. By drawing attention to new ideas it helps greatly to raise standards of living. By helping to increase demand it causes an increased need for labour, and is therefore a nice way to fight unemployment. It lowers the costs of many services: without advertisements your daily newspaper would cost four times as much, the price of your television program would need to be doubled, and travel by bus or subway would cost more. And perhaps most important of all, advertising provides a promise of reasonable value in the products and services you buy. Besides the fact that twenty-seven Acts of Parliamentgovern the terms of advertising, no regular advertiser dare produce anything that fails to live up to the promise of his advertisements. He might fool some people for a little while through misleading advertising. He will not do so for long, for the public has the good sense not to buy the poor goods more than once. If you see product frequently advertised, it is the proof I know that the product does what is promised for it, and that it has good value. Advertising does more for the good of the public than any other force I can think of. There is one more point I feel I ought to touch on. Recently I heard a well-known television person declared that he was against advertising because it persuades rather than informs. He was telling us the real difference. Of course advertising tries to persuade. If its message were nothing but information, that would be difficult to get more people to buy, for even the choice of the colour of a shirt is a bit persuasive --advertising would be so boring that no one would pay any attention. But perhaps that is what the well-known television person wants. 68. By the first sentence of the passage the writer means that . A. he is fairly familiar with the cost of advertising B. everybody knows well that advertising is a waste of money C. advertising costs more money than everything else D. money on advertising is worth spending 69. In the passage, which of the following is NOT included in the advantages of advertising? A. Getting greater fame. B. Providing more jobs. C. Raising living standards. D. Reducing newspaper cost. 70. The writer thinks that the well-known TV person is . A. quite right in passing his judgment on advertising B. interested in nothing but the buyers' attention C. correct in telling the difference between persuasion and information D. obviously unfair in his views on advertising 71. In the writer's opinion, . A. advertising can seldom bring material interest to man by providing information B. advertising informs people of new ideas rather than wins them over C. there is nothing wrong with advertising in persuading the buyer D. the buyer is not interested in getting information from an advertisement E A new study says one part of the human brain may become smaller as the result of a condition known as jet lag. Jet lag results from flying long distances in an airplane. People with jet lag may feel extremely tired for several days. They may also have problems thinking clearly and remembering. Recently a researcher at the University of Bristol in Britain reported the findings of his jet lag study, which involved twenty young women who worked for international airlines. They had served passengers on airplanes for five years. These flight attendants flew across many countries and at least seven time zones. In the study, the flight attendants had different amounts of time to recover from jet lag. Half the women spent five days or fewer in their home areas between long flights The other half spent more than fourteen days in their home areas. The researcher took some saliva from the women's mouths to measure levels of a hormone that increases during stress . He tested them to see if they could remember where black spots appeared on a computer screen. And he took pictures of their brains to measure the size of the brain's temporal lobes . It was found that the women who had less time between flights had smaller right temporal lobes. This area of the brain deals with recognizing and remembering what is seen. The same group performed worse and had slower reaction times on the visual memory test. And their saliva samples showed higher levels of stress hormones. The researcher believes the brain needs at least ten days to recover after a long trip. He says airline workers told him their ability to remember got worse after working on planes for about four years. Other studies have shown that increased feelings of stress can cause a loss of cells in the part of the brain that controls memory. Scientists say more tests are needed to study the effects of jet lag on the brain. They want to find out if too much jet lag could permanently affect memory.

    Excused from recycling (回收利用) because you live in a high rise with a rubbish chute(垃圾道) ? You won’t be for long. Miami’s Mark Shantzis has made it simple for those living in tall buildings to use the chute and recycle too.

    In Shantzis’ Hi--Rise Recycling System, a chute leads to a pie- shaped container with six boxes that can turn around when operated．The system, which fits in the same space as the chute and container now in use, enables glass, plastic, paper, metal, and other rubbish to go into separate boxes.

    The system is controlled from a board fixed next to the chute door. The board has a button for each class of recycling materials (as well as for unrecyclables). At the press of a button, a microcomputer locks all other floors’ chute doors and sets the loads and gives a signal by phone when the box is full. And a particular piece of equipment breaks up the nonrecycles.

    Sorting (分类) recyclables before they are collected saves the use of expensive materials recovery equipment which otherwise has to do the sorting: Such equipment often makes recycled materials very expensive, so expensive that tons of recyclables remain wasted．Shantzis believes his system could help recycled materials become more cost effective.

1．The purpose in writing this text is _______.

A．to encourage people to recycle their rubbish

B．to introduce a recycling system for high rises

C．to describe the use of computer technology in recycling

D．to explain the need for rubbish collection in high rises

A．you’ll soon be living in a cleaner building

B．rubbish chutes will become out of date before long

C．you won’t wait long for your turn to recycle rubbish

D．it won’t be long before you’ll have to recycle your rubbish

3．Before dropping rubbish into the chute you have to ________.

A．lock the other floors’ chute doors

B．check if the container is full

C．press the correct button

D．break up the rubbish

4．The biggest advantage of this new system is that ________.

A．it reduces the cost of recycling
