I don’t think a day goes by when I don’t think of my father. He died twenty﹣one years ago when I was twenty﹣six. He was a good man , but I hardly saw him around home, for he ran a big company. I secretly wished something could bring him closer to me.

It wasn’t until he became seriously ill that we really got to know each other and had a place in each other’s lives. After his near death and many operations, I was trained as his nurse to take care of him. Although the job seemed boring and tiring in certain people’s eyes, I liked it. Taking care of him seemed to reduce the pain of his absence from my younger life. I enjoyed his company and attention and, though through a sad situation, I was finally getting my fill（满足）.

Now I am a dad myself, but certainly not a workaholic as my father. Although I work away from my home, I always have my meals with my family. Father’s Day is coming I still have the pencil holder made from a decorated tin sitting on my desk. It’s a gift from my only son. Each year, the gift is something different and each year, I couldn’t care less about the gift itself. You see, the gift I enjoy is the pleasure of my son’s company and knowing that we have a place in each other’s lives.

At heart , all men know their fathers are important. Want a great Father’s Day? Tell your dad you love him and give your kid a hug today－before Father’s Day actually arrives.

Before the law sits a gatekeeper．To this gatekeeper comes a man from the country who asks to gain entry into the law．But the gatekeeper says that he cannot grant him entry at the moment．The man thinks about it and then asks if he will be allowed to come in sometime later on．“It is possible，” says the gatekeeper，“but not now．” ①The gate to the law stands open，as always，and the gatekeeper walks to the side，so the man bends over in order to see through the gate into the inside．When the gatekeeper notices that，he laughs and says:

“If it tempts you so much, try going inside in spite of my prohibition． But take note． I am powerful． And I am only the most lowly gatekeeper． But from room to room stand gatekeepers, each more powerful than the other． I cannot endure even one glimpse of the third．”

The man from the country has not expected such difficulties: the law should always be accessible for everyone，he thinks，but as he now looks more closely at the gatekeeper in his fur coat，at his large pointed nose and his long，thin，black Tartar's beard，he decides that it would be better to wait until he gets permission to go inside．The gatekeeper gives him a stool and allows him to sit down at the side in front of the gate．There he sits for days and years．He makes many attempts to be let in，and he wears the gatekeeper out with his requests．The gatekeeper often interrogates him briefly，questioning him about his homeland and many other things，but they are indifferent questions，the kind great men put，and at the end he always tells him once more that he cannot let him inside yet．The man，who has equipped himself with many things for his journey，spends everything，no matter how valuable，to win over the gatekeeper．The latter takes it all but，as he does so，says，“I am taking this only so that you do not think you have failed to do anything．” ②

During the many years the man observes the gatekeeper almost continuously．He forgets the other gatekeepers，and this first one seems to him the only barrier for entry into the law．He curses the unlucky circumstance，in the first years thoughtlessly and out loud; later，as he grows old，he only mumbles to himself．He becomes childish and，since in the long years studying the gatekeeper he has also come to know the fleas(跳蚤) in his fur collar，he even asks the fleas to help him persuade the gatekeeper．Finally his eyesight grows weak，and he does not know whether things are really darker around him or whether his eyes are merely deceiving him．But he recognizes now in the darkness a ray of light which breaks out of the gateway to the law．Now he no longer has much time to live．

Before his death he gathers in his head all his experiences of the entire time up into one question which he has not yet put to the gatekeeper．He waves to him，since he can no longer lift up his stiffening body．The gatekeeper has to bend way down to him，for the great difference has changed things considerably to the disadvantage of the man．③ “You are insatiable(不知足的)．” “Everyone strives after the law，” says the man，“so how is it that in these many years no one except me has requested entry？” The gatekeeper sees that the man is already dying and，in order to reach his diminishing sense of hearing，he shouts at him，“Here no one else can gain entry，since this entrance was assigned only to you．I'm going now to close it．” ④

A．Anyone who breaks the law will get severe punishment．

B．It's next to impossible for people to gain entry into the law．

5.Why is the man from the country eager to have access to the law continuously?

A．Because he is anxious to explore the nature of law．

B．Because no one can gain entry into the law except him．

C．Because the gatekeeper promises him entry into the law．

D．Because he knows how to take advantage of the gatekeeper．

No one knows for sure when advertising first started. It is possible that it grew out of the discovery that some people did certain kinds of work better than others did them. That led to the concept of specialization, which means that people would specialize, or focus, on doing one specific job.

Let’s take a man we’ll call Mr. Fielder, for example. He did everything connected with farming. He planted seeds, tended the fields, and harvested and sold his crops. At the same time, he did many other jobs on the farm. However, he didn’t make the bricks for his house, cut his trees into boards, make the plows (犁), or any of other hundreds of things a farm needs. Instead, he got them from people who specialized in doing each of those things.

Suppose there was another man we shall call Mr. Plowright. Using what he knew about farming and working with iron, Mr. Plowright invented a plow that made farming easier. Mr. Plowright did not really like farming himself and wanted to specialize in making really good plows. Perhaps, he thought, other farmers will trade what they grow for one of my plows.

How did Mr. Plowright let people know what he was doing? Why, he advertised, of course. First he opened a shop and then he put up a sign outside the shop to attract customers. That sign may have been no more than a plow carved into a piece of wood and a simple arrow pointing to the shop door. It was probably all the information people needed to find Mr. Plowright and his really good plows.

Many historians believe that the first outdoor signs were used about five thousand years ago. Even before most people could read, they understood such signs. Shopkeepers would carve into stone, clay, or wood symbols for the products they had for sale.

A medium, in advertising talk, is the way you communicate your message. You might say that the first medium used in advertising was signs with symbols. The second medium was audio, or sound, although that term is not used exactly in the way we use it today. Originally, just the human voice and maybe some kind of simple instrument, such as a bell, were used to get people’s attention.

A crier, in the historical sense, is not someone who weeps easily. It is someone, probably a man, with a voice loud enough to be heard over the other noises of a city. In ancient Egypt, shopkeepers might hire such a person to spread the news about their products. Often this earliest form of advertising involved a newly arrived ship loaded with goods. Perhaps the crier described the goods, explained where they came from, and praised their quality. His job was, in other words, not too different from a TV or radio commercial in today’s world.

1.What probably led to the start of advertisement?

A. The discovery of iron.

B. The specialization of labor.

C. The appearance of new jobs.

D. The development of farming techniques.

2.The writer makes up the two stories of Mr. Fielder and Mr. Plowright in order to __________.

A. explain the origin of advertising

B. predict the future of advertising

C. expose problems in advertising

D. provide suggestions for advertising

3.The last two paragraphs are mainly about __________.

A. the history of advertising

B. the benefits of advertising

C. the early forms of advertising

D. the basic design of advertising

Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.

Walking will be banned on escalators as part of a trail designed to reduce congestion(拥堵) at some of the country’s busiest stations.

In the first move of its kind, all travelers will be forced to stand on both sides of escalators on the London Underground as part of a plan to increase capacity(容量) at the height of the rush hour.

A six-month trial will be introduced at Holborn station from mid-April, eliminating the rule of standing on the right and walking on the left. The move, imitating a similar structure in Far eastern cities such as Hong Kong, is designed to increase the number of people using long escalators at the busiest times . it could be expanded across the Tube network in coming years.

According to London Underground, only 40 percent of travelers walk the full length of long escalators, leaving the majority at the bottom as they wait to get on to the “standing “side.

A three-week trial at Holborn last year found that the number of people using escalators at any time of could be raised by almost a third. Peter McNaught, operations director at London Underground, said: “It may not seem right that you can go quicker by standing still, but our experiments at Holborn have proved that it can be true. This new six-month trial will help us find out if we can influence customers to stand on both sides in the long term.”

Holborn has one of the longest sets of escalators on the Underground network at 23.4 high. Tube bosses claim that capacity was limited because so few people wanted to walk up—meaning only one side was used at all times. Research has shown that it is more effective use of escalators over 18.5 to ban walking.

The previous trial found that escalators at the station normally carried 2,500 people between 8:30am and 9:30am on a typical day, rising to 3,250 during the researching period.

In the new trial, which will be launched from April 18, one of three “up” escalators will be standing only, with a second banning walking at peak times. A third will remain a mix of walking and standing.

(Note: Answering the questions the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)

1.What is the existing problem with standing on the right and walking on the left?

2.What did last year’s three-week trial at Holborn station prove?

3.The research suggests that walking should be forbidden on escalators that are at least _________ in height.

4.In the new trail, in addition to one escalator banning walking in rush hours, the other “up” escalators will be used for_________________.
