Advertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they're always coming in for criticism. Their critics seem to resent them because they have a flair(天分) for self-promotion and because they have so much mopey to throw around. "It's very unfair," they say, "that this entrely unproductive industry (if we can call it that) should absorb millions of pounds each year. It only goes to show how much profit the big companies are making. Why don't the stop advertising and reduce the price of their goods? After all, it's the consumer who pays..."
The poor old consumer! He'd have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn't creato mass markets for products. It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap. But we get the wrong idea if we think the only. purpose of advertising is to sell goods.Another equally important function is to inform. A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods derives largely from the advertisements we read. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know ahout.
Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements,but this claim may be seriously doubted. It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days.And what fun they often are,too! Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements. Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall while waiting for a train? A cheerful, witty advertisement makes such a difference to a dull wall.
we must not forget, either, that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets.Newspapers, commercial radio and television companies could not manage to my alive without this source of revence. The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper, or can enjoy so many broadcast programmers is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers. Just think what a newspapar would cost if we had to pay its full price!
Another thing we mustn't forget is the "small ads." which are in virtually every newspaper and magazine. Just about anything can be accomplished through these columns.For instance, you can find a job, buy or sell a house, announce a birth, marriage or death, I's the best advertisement for advertising there is!
41. What is main idea of this passage?
A. Advertisement
B. The benefits of advertisement
C. Advertisers perform a useful service to communities.
D.The costs of advertisement
42. The attitude of the author toward advertisers is_______.
A. appreciative B. trustworthy C. critical D. dissatisfactory
43. Why do the critics criticize advertisers?
A. Because advertisers often talk too proudly of themselves.
B. Because crifics think, advertisement is a"waste of money".
C. Because customers are encouraged to buy more than necessary.
D. Because customers pay more.
44. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Advertisement makes contributions to our pockets and we may know everything.
B. Advertisements can be found everywhere in our life.
C. Good quality products don't need to be advertised.
D. Advertisement makes our life colourful.
45. What's the meaning of the underlined word "revenue" in the fourth paragraph?
A. Tax. B. Salary. C. Money. D. Living cost.
查看习题详情和答案>>I hitched (钩住) the traveling-can containing the food on to the carrier.I rolled the bicycle the short distance from the house to the road while Edna in a green-and-red dress walked beside me.Mounting the vehicle with the can on the back and Edna on the cross-bar proved a little tricky; but I am rather good with bicycles.I solved the problem by getting on the seat first and keeping the bicycle stationary with one foot resting firmly on the ground.Then Edna climbed on the bar sitting sideways;and I pushed off.The excitement of having her so close within my arms and the perfume of her hair in my nose would have proved overpowering if I'd had much time to consider it.I hadn't.The road to the hospital turned out to be quite hilly, not steep but just enough to take the wind out of one; and with the kind of passenger I had, I didn't care to admit too readily (爽快地) to being tired.So I raced up all the little hillocks until my heart raged like a bonfire (篝火) which was very stupid of me.
“You are very strong,” said Edna.
“Why?” I said, or rather out of breath, in one enormous expiration (呼气) as I rounded the summit of yet another small hill.
“You are eating all the hills like yam (山药).”
“I haven't seen any hill yet,” I replied, getting back some
of my breath as I pedaled (踩自行车踏板) freely down the small, friendly descent that followed.These words were hardly out of my mouth when a stupid sheep and her four or five lambs rushed out of the roadside on my left.I braked sharply.Unfortunately Edna's back was resting on my left arm and prevented me applying the brake on that side effectively.So only the brake on the front wheel performed fully.The bicycle pitched (直冲) forward and crashed on the road.She was thrown farther up the road and as soon as I got up, I rushed to help her to her feet again.Without taking my eyes from the food I murmured that I was very sorry.
“It was not your fault,” she said.“It was the stupid sheep.”
Then I noticed with the corner of my eyes something that was bending down.I turned then and saw where she had grazed (擦伤) her knee on the road.
“Oh dear,” I said, “Edna, I am sorry.”
She left her frock (长袍) which she had held up a little at the knee and came to dust my shoulder where my new white shirt carried a thick patch of indelible (洗不掉的) red-earth.Then she bent down and picked up the traveling-can and began to wipe away the sand, and the spilt soup with green leaves.To my surprise she was crying and saying something like “ My mother will die of hunger today.” Actually I think her crying was probably due to hurt pride because the food lying on the road showed how poor her family was.But I may be wrong.At the time, I was greatly upset.
“Can she manage bread and corned (盐腌的) beef?” I asked.“We could buy some outside the hospital.”
“I haven't brought any money,” said Edna.
“I have some money,” I said, feeling the first breath of relief since the accident happened.“And we could get some disinfectant (消毒剂) for your knee.I'm terribly sorry, my dear.”
1.We can infer that, at the beginning of the passage, the writer had just________.
[ ]
A.offered to marry Edna
B.lied to her
C.offered to take some food to her mother in hospital
D.offered to give Edna a lift to visit her mother in hospital
2.The way the writer rode his bicycle over the hills shows that ________.
[ ]
A.he was very strong
B.Edna was so attractive that he couldn't concentrate
C.he wanted to impress Edna
D.he was not very observant
3.The accident could probably have been avoided if ________.
[ ]
A.he had not braked sharply
B.both brakes had worked properly
C.he had not been so busy admiring Edna
D.he had looked when he was going
4.Why was Edna crying?
[ ]
A.She had hurt her knee.
B.She thought that her mother would have to go hungry that day.
C.The food lying on the road showed her family was poor.
D.We cannot be sure.
5.After the accident the writer was________.
[ ]
A.sad because of the spoilt food
B.guilty because of Edna's grazed knee
C.worried about what Edna might think of him
D.angry at the stupid sheep
查看习题详情和答案>>阅读下面的短文(小孩和树玩的寓言故事),然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree.A little boy loved to come and play around it every day.He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow…He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.
Time went by…The little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree.
One day, the boy came back to the tree and looked sad.“Come and play with me,”the tree asked the boy.
“I am no longer a kid, I don’t’ play around trees anymore.”The boy replied,“I want toys.I need money to buy them.”“Sorry, but I don’t have money…but you can pick all my apples and sell them.So, you will have money.”The boy was so excited.He picked all the apples on the tree and left happily.The boy didn’t come back after he picked the apples.The tree was sad.
One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited.“Come and play with me.”The tree said.“I don’t have time to play.I have to work for my family.We need a house for shelter.Can you help me?”“Sorry, but I don’t have a house.But you can cut off my branches to build your house.”So the boy cut all the branches of the tree and left happily.
The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy didn’t appear since then.The tree was again lonely and sad.One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted.“Come and play with me!”the tree said.
“I am sad and getting old.I want to go sailing to relax myself.Can you give me a boat?”“Use my trunk to build the boat.You can sail and be happy.”So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat.He went sailing and did not show up for a long time.
Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years.“Sorry, my boy.But I don’t’ have anything for you anymore.No more apples for you.”the tree said.“I don’t have teeth to bite.”The boy replied.“No more trunk for you to climb on.”“I am too old for that now.”the boy said.“I really want to give you something…the only thing left is my dying roots.”The tree said with tears.“I don’t’ need much now, just a place to rest.I am tired after all these years.”The boy replied.“Good!Old tree roots are the best place to lean on and rest.Come here, please sit down with me and have a rest.”The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears…
This is a story of everyone.The tree is our parent.When we were young, we loved to play with Mom and Dad…When we grow up, we leave them, and only come to them when we need something or when we are in trouble.No matter what, parents will always be there and give everything they could to make you happy.You may think that the boy is cruel to the tree but that's how all of us are treating our parents.

阅读下列短文,完成文后题目。
This morning I woke from a wonderful night's sleep. Not just a good night's sleep, but one of those completely satisfying sleeps - - extremely rare and difficult to explain, but if you've ever had one you know what I am talking about.
No amount of riches could buy a better night's sleep. As silly as that sounds, it was the first things that crossed my mind when I awoke. I truly appreciated my joyful rest. It was like a gift from the heaven. Interesting to think that Bill Gates or any other billionaire you can mention, really couldn't have had a more satisfying, fulfilling night of sleep. The best that money can't buy.
That started me thinking of other pleasures that cost nothing or very little and that are often taken for granted. Like a drink of cold water on a hot day when you're really thirsty. Or a warm relaxing bath when you're bone tired or mentally exhausted.
Remember your first real kiss-can you put a price on that? Or the companionship of a faithful and loving pet or the clean, fresh smell of mountain air? There's an old song,“The Best Things in Life Are Free.”
Did you ever eat a meal that not only filled your belly (肚子) and satisfied your taste, but refresh your soul? Ever spend a winter's evening in the company of good friends?
What could be better than listening to your favorite music or watching good movie? Or sharing the beauty of sunset with a loved one? These are quiet delightssmall pleasures. I hope this doesn't sound too ridiculous (可笑的) in today's rough, loud world. I wonder if the new generation can appreciate some such things.
We're told we need the latest model car, or TV or computer to be happy, but it's all a cheat, a marketing move. It never lasts for long, either. No sooner do we get these things than we're looking to replace them with a newer car, or TV or computer.
This is not to say that…
1.Which of the following are the best things according to the passage?
[ ]
A.A good night's sleep, a suit of clothes in fashion.
B.A fire that can warm yourself in freezing weather, a beautiful flower sent to the respected person.
C.An expensive computer, a big meal that fill your stomach.
D.A wonderful film that interests you, a new house in the country.
2.The underlined word“that”in the 2nd paragraph probably refers to ________.
[ ]
A.dreams during the sleep
B.a satisfying night's sleep
C.Bill Gates and some other famous persons
D.the whole first paragraph
3.The best tile of the passage might be ________.
[ ]
A.Best Things Money Can't Buy
B.A Good Night's Sleep
C.Best Things In Life Are Free
D.Mental and Physical Pleasures in Life
4.We can conclude that the part that follows this passage mainly deals with the subject ________.
[ ]
A.about many other physical pleasures in the daily life
B.why young generation can't appreciate the small quiet pleasures
C.what is the proper time to buy the new car, TV or computer.
D.money also plays an important part in our everyday life
