Wheneverwe turn on the television, listen to the radio or open a newspaper or magazine,we are bombarded with advertisements. They invite us to try a new type oforange juice, wear X-brand jeans or watch the latest film. They beg us tonotice the difference and discover the advantages. They exist to make us wantwhat they are selling.Strangely, the more we are exposed toadvertising, the less we notice it. We get so used to seeing advertisementseverywhere that they become largely invisible, as if they were another part ofour everyday lives. But does that mean that we are no longer affected by them?One advertising expert believes that thespecial power of advertising lies in the fact that we do not pay much attentionto it. Dr. Krugman, who was head of research for a major advertising companyfor many years, says that the less we notice ads, the more we are affected bythem. D. Krugman believe that when we stop noticing advertisements, we lowerour defenses, allowing the messages of the advertisements to be taken in andstored, ready to be triggered into action at the right moment. He says that theeffects of advertising on the individual are small, but over a period of timethey have a powerful effect on the masses.When asked about the power of advertisingin research surveys, most people agree that it works, but not on them. Almosteveryone believes that they have complete control over how thousands of adsthey see every day affect them.51. Ads exist to make people want ________ .A. a new type of orangejuiceB.

When asked about the power of ads, mostpeople agree that ads are ineffective on ________ .A.individualsB. massesC.othersD. themPassage 2Like most people, I was brought up to lookupon life as a process of getting. It was not until in my late thirties that Imade this important discovery giving away makes life so much more exciting. You need notworry if you lack money. This is how I experimented with giving away. If an ideafor improving the window display of a neighborhood store flashes to me, I stepin and make the suggestion to the storekeeper. One discovery I made aboutgiving away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this worldwithout getting something back, though the return often comes in an unexpectedform. One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important specialdelivery letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrotethe postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later I needed a postoffice box for a new business I was starting. I was told at the window thatthere were no boxes left, and that myname would have to go on a long waitinglist. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He hadoverheard our conversation. “Wasn't it you that wrote us that letter a year agoabout delivering a special delivery to your home?” I said yes. “ Well, youcertainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make onefor you. You don't know what a letter like that means to us. We usually getnothing but complaints.”56.

Eatingbreakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, is as necessary asputting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many people the thought of foodfirst thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all theefforts, the still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest yearsfor which figures are available, the number of people who didn't have breakfastincreased by 33 percent-from 8.8 million to 11.7 million-according to theChicago-based Market Research Corporation of America.For those who feel pain or guilt about noteating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the lastfew years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong withomitting breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect performance.” saidA mold E. Bender, the former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth Collegein London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.”Scientific evidence linking breakfast tobetter health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of therecent work involves children, not adults. “The literature,” says one researcher,Dr. Emesto Pollitt at the University of Texas, “is poor”.61. The passage is mainly concernedwith ________ .A. a study of theChicago-based Market Research CorporatioB. one of life's essentialsC. latest figures of peoplewho don't eat breakfastD. breakfast and human health62. For those who do not take breakfast,the good news is that ________ .A. several studies have beendone in the past few yearsB. not eating breakfast does no harm toone's healthC. adults have especially made studies inthis fieldD. Eating little in the morning may be good forhealth63. In the third paragraph, “nor doesgiving people breakfast improve performance,” means ________ .A. anyone without breakfastdoes improve his performanceB. not giving people breakfastimproves performanceC. people having breakfast do improvetheir performanceD. having breakfast does not improve performance,either64. The word “literature” in the lastsentence refers to ________ .A. stories aboutbreakfastB. written works on a particular subjectC. any printedmaterialsD. the modern novels of American65. What is implied but not stated by theauthor is that ________ .A. not eating breakfast mightaffect the health of childrenB. breakfast does not affectperformanceC. Professor Bender oncetaught college courses in nutrition in LondonD. People who don't eatbreakfast have increasedPassage 4Each day, computers help millions of peopledo their jobs more effectively. For example, they canhelp managers decide on afuture course of action, and they can then help with the follow up checks onperformance to see if planned goals are being achieved. By using accurate andtimely facts supplied by data base management software, a manager can do abetter job of identifying problems and opportunities. And managers may not needto spend as much time in controlling when a computer can respond with a triggeredreport if actual performance varies from what was planned. The time saved incontrolling may allow managers to give more attention to employees' concerns,and this, in turn, may result in improved morale(士气).But employment benefits certainly aren't restrictedto managers. Healthcare researchers and other scientists also use computers toconduct research into complex problem areas that couldn't otherwise be wyers use online legal data banks to locate precedent(先前的) cases inorder to serve clients better. Salespeople can receive more timely informationabout products in stock, can promise customers that their sales orders will behandled promptly, and can thus improve their sales performance because of thecomputer system. And the job duties of some office and factory workers havechanged from routine, repetitive operations to more varied and appealing tasksthrough computer usage. For example, office workers who understand textprocessing, computing, and data communication usually have vital roles and aregiven critical office functions to perform.66.
