ing while

their action says another？ A facial expression, crossed arms or the way they behave can show what

is really in their mind. This is body language, and we must teach our children to understand and

use it.

We often teach children to be thoughtful when they speak and write, and we also need to teach

them to be thoughtful in their body language. Giving examples is one of the ways to do that. Help

looking when they speak, how they turn their bodies, how they place their arms and so on can give

others important information.

(阅读理解题)Advertising is a form. of selling. It makes you want to buy a product or a service. In order to attract your interest it uses various approaches. One is the emotional approach. For example, consider an advertisement for a blanket. It is beautifully printed in full color. It shows a young woman looking dreamily at a pretty blanket. “To you a blanket is more than a source of warmth,” it says. “You need beauty as well as a good night’s sleep.” Looking at the advertisement, you may feel flattered. You may feel yourself different from those who buy blankets simply for warmth. And so you may want to have one yourself. In the same way, a man may buy a certain make of car just because he wants to impress his friends. This seems ridiculous, of course, since people buy a car as a means of transportation. But there are many people who secretly feel that a certain car will give them prestige. To realize this, you have only to look at TV commercials in which nice-looking cars are shown together with people everyone admires. On the contrary, when a man buys a delivery truck for his business that is not the case. Here he will not try to seem important as he may when he buys a luxury car. What he has in mind is a truck that will do its job efficiently. Similarly, a woman buying a refrigerator will not be led by her emotions so easily. She wants to know such facts as how much food it can hold and whether the food is easy to reach. In such cases, advertising is generally straightforward. It gives you the facts about a product rather than an idea. Generally, advertisements use either the emotional or the rational approach, or a combination of the two. Advertising reflects our way of living. This is one reason why an American university has recently set up a place storing historical records for TV commercials that have been used in the past. They will be useful in learning why people really behaved, thought, and acted as they did in the days when these commercials appeared on TV.

(1).What does advertising sell？

A、A product or a service

B、Emotion or ration

C、Facts or ideas

D、Impression or prestige.

(2).What will you feel when looking at the advertisement at which a beauty is looking dreamily？

A、to be worried

B、to be relaxed

C、to be praised and pleased

D、to be cheated

(3).Which “make” in the following sentences is the same as the one (underlined) in Para. 2？

A、My parents always make me do my homework before I go out

B、With blood pouring from his leg, he made it to a nearby house

C、It’s one of the most popular makes of satellite phone on the market

D、None of the above

(4).Which of the following commodities should use the emotional approach in advertising according to the passage？

A、delivery truck

B、car

C、refrigerator

D、washing machine

(5).According to the passage, which of the following statement is NOT true？

A、Advertising can help us to know how people live in the past

B、The emotional approach focuses on the customers’ feelings while the rational approach concentrates on the products’ functions

C、What you buy should make others think highly of you

D、To some degree, TV commercials can help people make decisions.

(阅读理解题)Advertisements make us want too much, so we get the idea that the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods.But it is not completely right.Advertisement has another equally important function—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 about.Supposing you wanted to buy a washer, it is more than likely you would obtain details regarding performance, price, etc., from an advertisement.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 or reading railway byelaws while waiting for a train？ Would you like to read only closely printed columns of news in your daily paper？ A cheerful, witty advertisement makes such a difference to a drab wall or a newspaper full of bad news.We must not forget that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets.Newspapers, commercial radio and television companies could not subsist without this source of revenue.The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper, or can enjoy so many broadcast programs is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers.Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price! Another thing we mustn’t forget is the ‘small ads.’ in virtually every newspaper and magazine.What a tremendously useful service they perform. for the community! 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 in these small ads.

(1).What will you possibly want to know from a washer advertisement？

A、some details

B、how much it will cost

C、its functions

A、doubt

B、agreement

C、acceptance

D、in favor of

A、only TV commercials are useful in daily life

B、advertisements help to change our life

(阅读理解题)A few years ago I was shopping with a friend and his 12-year-old daughter in downtown San Francisco. A street musician, whom my friend happened to know from his own musician days, was playing the saxophone (萨克斯管) on a street corner. His name was Clifford, and he had attracted a large crowd with his performance. After he finished, my friend introduced him to me and his daughter. Clifford asked her if she played any instrument. When she replied that she was taking trumpet (小号) lessons and played in her junior high school band, he said, “That is fine, little lady. Learn your instrument well and you can play anything.” Somehow these simple yet wise words struck me as appropriate not only for a trumpet player but also for a reader. If you learn to read well, you can read anything you want—not just newspapers and magazines, but more difficult material like philosophy, file criticism, military history—whatever interests you as your confidence grows. You would not be limited in any way. If you have the vocabulary—or at least a good dictionary near at hand—you can pick up a book, concentrate on it, and make sense of the author's words. In the United States, reading instruction often ends at elementary school, so students sometimes have difficulty as they progress through school. They must take their assignments armed only with their elementary school reading skills. The result, too often, is frustration and loss of confidence. And the assigned reading in your college courses will be even greater than they were in high school. Developing Reading Skills is designed to accomplish several tasks to show you the skills that will enable you to read with greater comprehension, to help you cope with reading assignments with confidence, and to teach you to become an active reader.

(1).The author develops his point by starting with ______.

A、an example

B、an accident

C、a statement

D、a contrast

(2).Which of the following statements is implied in Paragraph 1？

A、Clifford was good at playing the saxophone

B、The author’s friend was once a street musician

C、The 12-year-old girl played the trumpet very poorly

D、Clifford was a good music teacher

(3).How does the author think about Clifford’s words？

A、humorous, correct, simple

B、ridiculous, incorrect, ludicrous

C、wise, plain, correct

D、stupid, useless, incorrect

(4).With good reading skills, you can ______.

A、understand anything you read with few difficulties

B、work out the author's meaning if only you concentrate on the book

C、understand what you read with the help of a good dictionary

D、concentrate on whatever you read

(5).It can be inferred from the last paragraph that Developing Reading skills ______.

A、is directed to elementary school students

B、centers around vocabulary building skills

C、offers elementary reading skills

MANAGING ONESELF

We live in an age full of opportunitiesA、If you are smart enough, and have got ambition and keep pushing forward, you can rise to the top of your chosen profession, no matter where you started out.

But with opportunity comes responsibility. Companies today aren't managing their employees' careers. Professional workers must be their own chief executive officers (CEO). It's up to you to strive for your place, to keep yourself engaged and productive during a working life that may last around 50 years. To do those things well, you'll need to have a deep understanding of yourself — not only what your strengths and weaknesses are, but also how you learn, how you work with others, what your values are, and where you can make the greatest contribution, because only when you operate from strength can you achieve true excellence.

History's great achievers — Napoléon, da Vinci, and Mozart — have always managed themselves. But they are so unusual both in their talents and in their accomplishments as to be considered rare exceptions. Now, most of us, even those of us with modest talents, will have to learn to manage ourselves. We will have to learn to develop ourselves. We will have to place ourselves where we can make the greatest contribution. And we will have to stay mentally alert and engaged during a 50-year working life, which means knowing how and when to change the work we do.

操作提示：句子正确选择下拉选项框为“T”;句子错误选择下拉选项框为“F”。

1. Companies today are responsible for employee's career. {T; F}

2. It is the CEO who decides your place. {T; F}

3. You need to understand your company well so that you can do things well. {T; F}

4. Understanding yourself means knowing well about your strengths, weaknesses, your values, how you learn, how you do with others and so on. {T; F}

5. Ordinary people cannot manage themselves well. {T; F}
