22、born in 1829 in Bavaria, Germany. He was the fifth of six children. His father sold dry goods from door to door. (Dry goods include many different things: fabric, thread, scissors, combs, buttons, yarn, etc.)In 1845, his father died. All six children decided to go to the United States. Two of Straus

23、s bothers started a dry goods company in New York City. Strauss sister Fanny and her husband started a similar business in San Francisco. Strauss decided to go to the southeastern part of the United States. For eight years, he walked along the country roads selling dry goods from door to door - just

24、 like his father in Bavaria.In 1853, Strauss decided to move to San Francisco. (At that time, thousands of people traveled to California to look for gold.) On the way to California, Strauss sold almost all of his dry goods. He had only one thing left - some canvas.In California, Strauss tried to sel

25、l the canvas to the gold miners. He said they could make tents from the canvas. But they werent interested in canvas for tents. Strauss didnt know what to do with the canvas. Then, he had an idea. Strauss could see that the miners needed new pants. There were holes in their pants because the fabric

26、wasnt strong. He decided to make the canvas into pants. They called them “Levis”. Later, Strauss stopped using canvas and used a different fabric. It was a heavy cotton fabric - the same kind people wear today.Levi Strauss died in 1902. He never married and left his money to his nephews. He left the

30、have become a regular part of Britains cultural landscape over the past few years. They started back in 1957, when one charity, Christian Aid, decided to make all its money-raising efforts on one time of year. It was thought that by doing this they would get more publicity for their cause.They were

31、right, and soon other charities and campaign groups followed them. These days, most donations to charity are not collected on the streets. So instead of just asking for money, charities prefer to spend their time “raising awareness” - spreading knowledge of the work they do or the cause they support

32、. They also compete with businesses and trade groups who use awareness weeks as marketing campaigns for their products.There are now 500 awareness weeks held every year in the UK. No week goes by without one group or another trying to make the British public aware of something, with most held in May

33、 or October.The danger with all these awareness weeks is that people start to become cynical. Take National Smile Week, it seems like a great idea. Lets all make each others life a little bit happier with a friendly smile. But really its just a group of dentists and cosmetics companies trying to sel

34、l us toothpaste. Its enough to make you want to start National Forget About It Week.“People feel that many awareness campaigns are just marketing exercises,” says Ms Ormiston, who edits the Awareness Campaign Register, a news letter which encourages people who run Awareness Weeks to become more awar

35、e of each other. “But 90 per cent of campaigns are run by traditional charities or not for groups to make money.”“Theres still no official group for awareness campaigns,” says Ms Ormiston. “People can do what they like, whatever the size of their budgets or their public relations machines allows.”Th

36、is situation has led to calls for laws to stop real charities having their efforts overshadowed by marketing campaigns. This could be done by making the two groups hold their weeks at different times or stopping businesses running imitation charity campaigns.But there is another way. Maybe its time

37、for National Weak Awareness Week, especially for people whose awareness of Awareness Weeks is weak.56. Whats the main purpose of awareness weeks run by charities in Britain?ATo raise money for charities. BTo spread knowledge of charities.CTo take up marketing campaigns.DTo advertise their goods for

38、sale.57. Why do people start to become cynical about awareness weeks?AToo many awareness weeks make people feel bored.BPeople feel many awareness weeks are just for marketing exercises.CPeople have a weak awareness of awareness weeks.DAwareness weeks are held too often and too much money is raised.5

39、8. What does Ms Ormiston think about awareness weeks?AMost of the awareness weeks should not be for making money.BOfficial groups should take the place of charities in awareness campaigns.CPeople can do what they like in awareness weeks.DPeople can get larger budgets through awareness campaigns.59.

40、Which of the following is the right measure to be taken to solve the problems in awareness campaigns?ALaws should stop awareness weeks run by real charities.BThere should be large public relations departments in awareness campaigns.CBusiness and awareness campaigns should not be held at the same pla

41、ce. DMarketing campaigns should not be in the name of charity ones.60. Whats the writers view on Awareness Weeks?ANational Forget About It Week should be held to stop awareness weeks. BNational Smile Week is a great idea to improve peoples life. CNational Weak Awareness Week can help people better u

42、nderstand awareness weeks. DAwareness Weeks should be stopped because of marketing campaigns.Passage 3Nowadays, a cellphone service is available to everyone, everywhere. Probably thousands of people have already been using it, but I just discovered it, so Im going to claim it and also name it: Fake

43、Foning.The technology has been working well for me at the office, but there are infinite applications. Virtually in any public space.Say you work at a big university with lots of talky faculty members buzzing about. Now, say you need to use the restroom. The trip down the hall will take approximatel

44、y one hour, because a person cant walk into those talky people without getting pulled aside for a question, a bit of gossip, a new read on a certain line of Paradise Lost.So, a cellphone. Any cellphone. Just pick it up. Dont dial. Just hold that phone to your face and start talking. Walk confidently

45、 down the hall engaged in fake conversation, making sure to tailor both the topic and content to the person standing before you whom you are trying to evade.For standard colleague avoidance, I suggest fake chatting about fake business: "Yes, Im glad you called, because we really need to hammer

46、out the details. Whats that? Yes, I read Page 12, but if you look at the bottom of 4, I think you can see the problem begins right there."Be animated. Be engaged in your fake fone conversation. Make eye contact with the people passing, nod to them, gesture keen interest in talking to them at a

47、later time, point to your phone, shrug and move on.Shoppers should consider fake foning anytime they spot a talky neighbor in the produce department pinching (用手捏) unripe peaches. Without your phone at your face, youd be in for a 20-minute speech on how terrible the world is.One important caution about fake foning. The other day I was fake foning my way past a colleague, and he was actually following me to get my attention. I knew he wanted to ask about a project I had not yet finished. I was trying to buy mysel
