Passage 8 I've worked all my life. I've done men's jobs. I've done everything. I've used screw drivers, electric drills, and punch presses. I really know what it means to do man's work. What gets me is, you work all your life like a dog. You pay your taxes into these government programs. But still, when you need help, the people that are paid to help you, they act like it's coming out of their own pockets. My husband George had a stroke not long ago. I've always worked all my life and I never had to do this before, but when George had the stroke I knew I needed some help. I had to quit my job to take care of him. So I went down to the welfare and told them I needed help. We were living with my son at the time. The welfare people said that since we were staying there. he had to take care of us. If we wanted help, we'd have to move out. The trouble was we didn't have anything at all. and George was in the hospital. When I knew I needed some help, I went up here to this place called Hub Center where they've supposed to help people. Well. I told this young kid that was working there that we were starving and didn't have the money to pay our rent or buy our medicine. Well. he started writing something down on a slip of paper, and he wrote for the longest time. Then he gave it to me and said. "Take this paper to 163l Vine Street and they'll give you a sandwich. I said, "Thanks for nothing. kid. " I never was so embarrassed in all my life. I thought, well, I know I have to be going crazy. I just have to be, this just can't be happening. 1. The best title for the passage would be . A. I Really Know Man's Work. B. Applying for Welfare. C. Where Are They When You Need Them? D. Where Do Our Taxes Go? Correct answers: C 本篇是描述了一位妻子在丈夫病后辞去工作.申请福利救济的过程.但若以此项为最佳题目.则不能概括申请手续烦琐.主人公到处碰壁的内容,且容易让读者以为将读一篇申请福利救济的指南性文章. 选项C虽说文字较多.又是一个问句.但它确实表达了主人公在这种情况下发自内心的无奈的求助的呼喊.能吸引读者.是本题的答案. Passage 9 Money spent on advertising is money spent as swell as any I know of. 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 labor, and is therefore a nice way to fight unemployment. It lowers the costs of many services: without advertisement your daily newspaper would cost four times as much, your price of television program would need to be doubled, and travel by bus or subway would cost more. And perhaps the 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 Parliament govern 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 but the poor goods more than once. If you see the product frequently advertised, it is the proof I know that the product does what it promised for it, and that it has good value. Advertising does more for the good of the public than 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 declare 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 color 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.
