Of these, 18,000,000 say they have been 18 at or called names while playing sports. This leaves many children with a bad 19 of sports.

When you watch television, you hear and see an advertisement. If you turn the pages of a newspaper or magazine, again you find an advertisement. If you walk down the street, you see one advertising board after another. All day, every day, people who want to sell you something compete to catch your attention. As a result, advertisements are almost everywhere.In the West, advertisements are the fuel that makes mass media work. Many TV stations, newspapers, magazines, radio stations are privately owned. The government does not give them money. So where does the money come from? From advertisements. Without advertisements, there would not be these private businesses.Have you ever asked yourself what advertising is? Through the years, people have given different answers to the question. For some time it was felt that advertising was a means of “keeping your name before the public.” And some people thought that advertising was “truth well told.” Now more and more people describe it in this way: Advertising is the paid, nonpersonal, and usually persuasive description of goods, services and ideas by identified sponsors（明确的出资者） through various media.First, advertising is usually paid for. Various sponsors pay for the advertisements we see, read, and hear over the various media. Second, advertising is nonpersonal. It is not face-to-face communication. Although you may feel that a message in a certain advertisement is aimed directly at you, in reality, it is directed at large groups of people. Third, advertising is usually persuasive. Directly or indirectly it tells people to do something. All advertisements try to make people believe that the product, idea, or service advertised can do good to them. Fourth, the sponsor of the advertisement must be identified. From the advertisement, we can see if the sponsor is a company, or an organization, or an individual. Fifth, advertising reaches us through traditional and nontraditional mass media. Included in the traditional media are newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and films. Nontraditional media include the mail, matchbox covers, and billboards.41. The existence of the privately owned mass media depends financially on _. A. the government B. their owners families C. advertisements D. the audience42. According to the passage, who are most probably paying for the advertisements? A. Companies B. Organizations C. Individuals D. All of the above43. Which of the following is considered nontraditional mass media? A. Newspapers B. The mail C. Magazines D. Films44.According to the passage, which of the following statements about the features of advertisements is NOT true?A. Advertising must be honest and amusing.B. Advertising is meant for large groups of people.C. Advertising tells people to do something directly or indirectly.D. The sponsors are always mentioned in the advertisements.45. What is the best title of the passage? A. The history of advertisement. B. What is advertisement? C. Who sponsors the advertisement? D. Where can we see advertisement?B“Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity,” said the American talk show host Oprah Winfrey. Ive never watched her show, but when a self-made billionaire gives life advice, its probably worth listening to.Her point is that blind luck is very rare. You may have to be lucky to find a good job these days but that does not mean you should sit at home waiting for the opportunity to come to you. If youre a Chinese, you may already be familiar with the tale of a farmer waiting by a tree stump（树桩） for a rabbit to run out and break its neck.A book by the UK psychologist Richard Wiseman, called The Luck Factor, argues we can all make ourselves luckier. Its not about going to a temple to burn some incense（香） in hopes that the gods will give you good fortune; its practical advice you can follow each day.Wiseman conducted an experiment as part of his studies. First he divided volunteers into two groups: those who said they were lucky in life and those said they were not. He gave everyone a newspaper and asked them to look through it to count how many photographs it had inside. On average, the unlucky people took about two minutes to count the photographs while the lucky people took just seconds. Why? On the second page of the newspaper, a command, “Stop counting. There are 43 photographs in this newspaper” was written in big letters. The unlucky people mostly did not spot the message.Its easy to compare this situation to a young person looking for jobs in a local paper. They might search so hard for one type of position that they miss an even better opportunity. People who are “lucky”, in fact, keep an open mind and dont go through the same routine every day.I first came to China in 2002 when it was considered a rather strange thing to do. Like many foreigners, my plan was to teach English for one year. Seven years later, and still here, Ive had many great opportunities such as writing for newspapers and magazines. I did not dream these would have been possible. Ive also never been sick, had an accident, got into a fight or had problems with the police. Coincidence? After reading about Professor Wisemans studies I think not.As Wiseman advises, I usually trust my own judgment. Your friends and parents may give you advice based on rational thinking, but its important to consider how you feel about each choice you make. Your feeling acts a warning for a potential problem.Finally, try to turn bad luck into good. Even if you do fall down and break a leg, the time spent at home can be used wisely to study English.46. What do you know about Oprah Winfrey? A. She became famous through her family background. B. She was very lucky and seldom suffered setbacks in her life. C. She is a British talk show host. D. She became successful by her own effort.47. The writer quoted（引用） the Chinese tale of a farmer in order to show _. A. luck is in your own hand B. bad luck can turn into good C. you should not sit at home waiting for the opportunity to come to you D. man can conquer nature48. From the experiment Wiseman drew the conclusion that _. A. lucky people are quick-minded B. unlucky people are slow to read C. lucky people often have an open mind D. unlucky people are more creative49. The underlined word “spot” is the closest in meaning to “_”. A. recognize B. write C. locate D. receive50. Which of the following proverbs most agrees with the writers point? A. Make the best of a bad job. B. Rome was not built in a day. C. All is not gold that glitters. D. Sunshine comes after the storm.CA mouse happened to look through a hole in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package. “What food might this contain?” The mouse wondered. But he was sad to discover it was a mousetrap.Back to the farmyard, the mouse announced this warning: “There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!”The hen clucked（咯咯地叫） and scratched, raised her head and said, “Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a great concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it.”Then the mouse turned to the pig. The pig sympathized, but said, “I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured you are in my prayers.”Then the mouse turned to the cow and repeated the same words. The cow said, “Moo, Mr. Mouse. Im sorry for you, but its no skin off my nose.”So, the mouse returned to his house, head down and sadly faced the farmers mousetrap alone. That very night a sound was heard throughout the house the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey. The farmers wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it. It was a poisonous snake whose tail was caught in the trap. The snake bit the farmers wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital. When she returned home, she still had a fever.Everyone knows fresh chicken soup is good to treat a fever. So the farmer took his knife to the farmyard. The hen was killed.But his wifes sickness continued. Friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig.The farmers wife did not get well but died. So many people came for her funeral that the farmer had the cow killed to provide enough meat for all of them for the lunch.51. What surprised the mouse when looking through the hole? A.
