Children have their own rules in playing games.They seldom(很少)need a referee(裁判)and rarely trouble to keep scores.They don’t care much about who wins or loses，and it doesn’t seem to worry them if the game is not finished.Yet，they like games that depend a lot on luck，so that their personal abilities can not be directly compared.They also enjoy games that move in stages，in which each stage，the choosing of leaders，the picking?up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start，is almost a game in itself.

Grown?ups can hardly find children’s games exciting，and they often feel puzzled at why their kids play such simple games again and again.However，it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons.He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person，and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid.He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn.He can be confident，too，in particular games，that it is his place to give orders，to pretend to be dead，to throw a ball actually at someone，or to kiss someone he has caught.

It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control.Everyone knows the rules，and more importantly，everyone plays according to the rules.Those rules may be childish，but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.

1．What is TRUE about children when they play games?

　　Every summer, a great many students travel to other countries looking for work and adventure. Most of the 1 are in seasonal work, mainly connected with tourism and 2 . The pay is usually poor, but most people work abroad for the 3 of travel. You can pick grapes in France, entertain kids on American summer camps, and, of course, there are 4 jobs in hotels and restaurants.

　　But it is not easy now to find work.“ 5 you speak the language of the country well, there will be very few openings,”says Anthea Ellis, an adviser on 6 for students. If you work with a family in Italy, you'll have to speak Italian. When you wash dishes in a restaurant in Paris, the owner will expect you to speak 7 . British students only have a language advantage 8 jobs in the USA and Australia. 9 Enjoys the experience. Sarah James was employed to help forty American children in Europe. The two teachers with the children had never been 10 . One child lost his passport another became seriously ill and was 11 home; the whole group was thrown out of one hotel because of the 12 they made, and Sarah herself was robbed on her only 13 evening of the entire trip.“I did visit a lot of new places,”she says,“but it wasn't worth it. The pay was 14 and it really was a 24-hour a day job. The kids never slept!”

　　“The trouble is, students except to have 15 time of it,”Anthea Ellis points out.“ 16 , they see it as a holiday. In practice 17 you have to work hard. At the same time, all vacation work is casual work. You'll have a job when the hotel, the restaurant, or the campsite is busy. 18 , you'll work if it's convenient for the company that employs you. But you have 19 employment rights. As soon as the holiday season 20 they'll get rid of you.”

　　Money spent on advertising is money spent as well 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（出口）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 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 Parliament（国会）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 buy the poor goods more than once. If you see a 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 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（有说服力的）--advertising would be so boring that no one would pay any attention. But perhaps that is what the well-known television person wants.

(1) 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

(2) In the passage, which of the following is NOT included in the advantages of advertising?

[　　]

(3) The writer thinks that the well-known TV person is ________.

[　　]

A．quite right in passing his judgement 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

(4) 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
