Most advertising in ancient times was word-of-mouth, that is, people liked something and told others about it. But even then, people advertised by putting inscriptions (题字) on walls, for example to display political slogans and to offer household goods for sale. Also, in Rome and Greece, in ancient times, it was common for people to use papyrus, a kind of paper, to advertise things they had lost or found. The tradition of wall or rock painting as a way of advertising goods is even more ancient.

Painting developed in the 15th and 16th centuries, and this increased the forms of advertising. Handbills — small printed notices and advertisements — became common. Then, by the 17th century, advertisements started appearing in weekly newspapers in England. In the 19th century mail order catalogues appeared, promoting all kinds of goods.

Finally, advertisements in the 1960s became more creative and more interesting. Also, they began to draw attention to the ‘unique selling points', the USPs of products. These are the qualities that make a product different from competitors' products.

These days, advertisers have come up with new ways of promoting their products. For example, product placement is now common. This is advertising in TV programmes or films by having a character, preferably played by a famous actor, use a particular product. For example, Tom Cruise's character in the movie, Minority Report, had a computer with the Nokia logo (商标) on it, and his watch was clearly made by Bulgari.

TV commercials are a very effective medium for advertisers, though these are very expensive. If an organization wants to have a 30-second TV advert during the annual Superbowl game in the United States, they have to pay about $2.5 million.

Perhaps the most interesting development is the use of famous personalities to endorse (代言)   a product. The basketball player, Michael Jordan, endorsed Nike products and wore them while playing.

Getting well-known personalities to endorse a product can be very expensive, but endorsements certainly increase a product's sales, especially if the personality has a positive image in the eyes of the public.

1.What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?

A. The influence of advertising.

B. The development of advertising.

C. Ways of advertising in ancient times.

D. Types of product advertising in ancient times.

2.Which of the following is TRUE about advertisements in the 1960s?

A. They were complicated and entertaining.

B. They contained quite a lot of information.

C. They were mainly shown in TV programmes.

D. They focused on the special features of products.

3.In product placement, advertisers tend to use ________________________________________________________________________.

A. cartoon characters.　　 B. intelligent people.

C. fictional characters.　　 D. popular actors or actresses.

4.What is the benefit of endorsements?

A. They are not expensive.　　 B. They are fairly interesting.

Gossip moves so quickly that few people have time to cover their ears, even if they want to.

“I hate it when others gossip about me,” said Mandy Miraglia, 16, a high school student from California, “but to be honest, gossip about my friends makes me feel I am trusted and belong to the group.” Miraglia is not the only person feeling like that.

Gossip has long been looked down on as little more than nonsense and bad manners. But recent research has shown that gossip has many positive effects on your social life.

“There has been a trend among people to dislike gossip,” said David Sloan Wilson, Professor from the State University of New York in Binghamton, US, “but gossip appears to be a very important form of behavior in a group of friends, defining their group membership.”

For 18 months, Kevin Kniffin, from the University of Wisconsin, US, researched the behavior of 50 people. He found that gossip levels peaked when a sports team included a slacker, someone who regularly missed practices or showed up late. Other members of the team would soon start to joke about the slacker’s shortcomings behind his back, because they thought they were bad for the whole team.

Gossip about the mistakes of senior members helps newcomers rebuild their confidence after a failure.

It also helps relieve social and professional anxiety. Long-term studies show that people around the world devote from a fifth to two-thirds or more of their daily conversation to gossip, and men appear to be just as eager for gossip as women.

It is hard to judge gossip, but it is more powerful than you think.

1. The author would probably agree that______________.

2. What does the underlined word “slacker” mean according to the context?

3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

People say time is relative．But relative to what．I do know that sometimes time“seems”to be moving slower．Remember Christmas Eve when you were a child? It was the longest night of the year．It lasted forever! And now it seems like I just paid my bill yesterday．．．and it’s due again!

People tell me all too frequently…I need more time! Oh ，really?…Mother Teresa，Michelangelo，and Helen Keller all had 24 hours a day．Look what they did with their time!

Is it that we need to manage our time better…or our priorities(重点)?You’ve heard the expression“first things first．”The first step in understanding the power of time is to understand that it is limited．Why is it then that some people get a lot more done? We know the answer．They use their time smartly．

One day an expert on time management was speaking to a group of students and announced a quiz．He pulled out a wide-mouthed jar．Next，he placed about a dozen fist-sized rocks，one at a time , into the jat, until no more would fit．“Is it full?” he asked．”Yes，”responds the class．”Oh really?” he asked．So he took out a bucket of gravel(砂砾), which he managed to work down into the spaces between the larger rocks．“Is it full now?” he asked．

Wising up，one answered，‘'Probably not．”Sure enough, he took out a bucket of sand，which he poured into the empty spaces．”Is it full now?” he asked．”No,” reply the students confidently．So he took a glass of water and filled it in．Then he asked，“What is my point?’’

One said，‘'No matter how full your schedule is，if you try really hard，you can always fit some more things into it！”

“No，”the speaker replied，“It tells us if you don’t put the big rocks in first, you’ll never get them in at all．’’

What are the big rocks? The things you should put in to your jar first．

The rich don’t get 25 hours and the poor don’t get 23…we all get the same．Let’s use them wisely! Invest your time wisely!

49．What does the point of the quiz lie in_______.

A．How to put more things into ajar． B．How well the students learn the lesson．

C．How to get more done in limited time      D．The skill and order is very important．

50． “The big rocks”in this passage refers to_______?

A．difficult points．        B．advantages     C．minor things           D．focuses

51. How is the passage mainly developed?

A．By inferring．             B．By comparing．

C．By listing examples．        D．By giving facts．

52. The text is written mainly

A．to explain the origin of the expression “first things first”

B．to call on us to use our time in a smart manner

C．to introduce a meaningful class given by an expert

D．to tell us about the relativity and the power of time
