You're in a department store and you see a couple of attractive young women looking at a sweater. You listen to their conversation:

“I can't believe it--a Lorenzo Bertolla! They are almost impossible to find. Isn't it beautiful? And it's a lot cheaper than the one Sara bought in Rome. ”

They leave and you go over to see this incredible sweater. It's nice and the price is right. You've never heard of Lorenzo Bertolla, but those girls looked really stylish. They must know. So, you buy it. You never realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agency. They are actually paid to go from store to store, talking loudly about Lorenzo Bertolla clothes.

Every day we notice what people are wearing, driving and eating. If the person looks cool, the product seems cool, too. This is the secret of undercover marketing. Companies from Ford to Nike are starting to use it.

Undercover marketing is important because it reaches people that don't pay attention to traditional advertising. This is particularly true of the MTV generation----consumers between the age of 18 and 34. It is a golden group. They have a lot of money to spend, but they don't trust ads.

So advertising agencies hire young actors to “perform” in bars and other places where young adults go. Some people might call this practice deceptive(骗人的), but marketing executive Jonathan Ressler calls it creative. “Look at traditional advertising. Its effectiveness is decreasing. ”

However, one might ask what exactly is “real” about of young women pretending to be enthusiastic about a sweater? Advertising executives would say it's no less real than an ad. The difference is that you know an ad is trying to persuade you to buy something. You don' t know when a conversation you overhear is just a performance.

The two attractive young women were talking so that they could ________.

A. get the sweater at a lower price B. be heard by people around

C. be admired by other shoppers D. decide on buying the sweater

Lorenzo Bertolla is __________.

A. a very popular male singer B. an advertising agency

C. a clothing company in Rome D. the brand name of a sweater

Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A. The two girls are in fact employed by the Lorenzo Bertolla Company.

B. The MTV generation tend to be more easily influenced by ads.

C. Traditional advertising is becoming less effective because it's too direct.

D. Undercover marketing will surely be banned soon by the government.

Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A. Two Attractive Shoppers B. Lorenzo Bertolla Sweaters

C. Ways of Advertising D. Undercover Marketing

Doing community service work, I spent three or four hours handing out warm dinner to the homeless out in the streets. After that I went to a   16  shelter not far from the Bay Bridge.
I was in high school and at the time my sister was too young to   17  . She wanted to help,    18  she made four or five dozen chocolate chip cookies for me to    19   and hand out to people. When getting to the homeless shelter I passed out the remaining meals. I had the containers with my   20  cookies in them and began to   21  , offering them to anyone near me.
I    22   an old gentleman and said, “Sir, would you like a cookie?” He stopped and turned around, looked at me    23  in the eye and said, “What did you say? Did you call me sir?” I told him I had, and his eyes    24   a little bit and he said, “No one has    25   called me sir.” He was completely taken aback.
It struck me.
I explained I had been raised that    26   color and social status, everyone deserved     27   . It made me    28   to think that just because he was homeless, no one    29  him the honor. It broke my   30  , and I couldn’t help   31  cry. I just didn’t understand    32  no one ever called him sir? I had never thought that anyone was below me because I wasn’t raised that way. Every    33  person deserves to be treated with dignity. Years later, I still carry that memory and the    34  it taught me. Sometimes, what we take for granted can    35  make a difference in someone’s life.
How have you made a difference to others? How have others made a difference to you?

How to Be Polite at a Dinner Party?
It’s not polite to arrive at a dinner more than 15 to 20 minutes late. The host or hostess usually waits for all the   21  to arrive before serving the meal. If someone is late，the food may be spoiled(变味)，and   22  may the host or hostess’ spirits．If you have to be  23 ， call and tell them to start   24  you．
It’s even worse to be early! The host or hostess will probably not be   25  ．If you are early，drive or walk around the block a few times，or just sit in your car until the right time．
    Though it’s often   26  to arrive at a party on time，on the other hand，the host or hostess  27   guests to arrive and leave between certain times，so you can  28  at any time between the times he or she gives you．
It’s nice to bring an empty stomach，but it’s even nicer to bring  29  present．The present should not cost a lot，or you might make the host or hostess  30   ．Flowers，wine，or a box of candy will be fine． 31  bring money as a present．In an introduction，the 32  of a name is：(1)the given name；(2)the family name．In other   33 ，the given name comes   34 . It’s important not only to learn and remember  35  ，but to repeat them often in conversation．After the introduction，we usually call friends by their  36  names．Older people may want you to call them by their titles and family names，such as “Mrs. Smith”，“Mr. Johnosn”，“Dr .Brown”.
A maiden(闺女)name is a   37 family name at birth. In the United States and Canada，after a woman   38  ，she takes the family name of her  39 in place of her maiden name．It is now becoming common，however，for women to 40  their maiden names after they get married,
