23、to school 47 , and to revise for tests. They must also read daily and practice their musical instruments at home.“It was a 48 homework battle every night,” Shelli told Canadas Globe and Mail newspaper. “Its hard to get a weeping child to 49 math problems.

Your only goal in advertising is to show enough gold to get people to want to be

30、a prospect (期望). Forget about selling them anything.Then how do you show them the gold? Keys to effective advertising are as follows.Talk to one person, and call his / her name.On a crowded Manhattan street, elbow-to-elbow with a sea of people, I still heard someone speak in a conversational voice “

31、Mark.” I turned my head around. Of course he was talking to someone else, but it still caught my attention.You need to speak to one person, and call his / her name. In marketing, the next best thing to a personal name is your Who and What. For example, “Golfers” = who “have knee pain affecting their

32、 swing?” = what.Educate them in a helpful way.If you have room, take the time to explain one point that will help them with the problem they are facing. For smaller ads you can just point them towards a web page where you want to educate them about something helpful.For instance, “Most pain is actua

33、lly caused by stress. Stopping the stress means decreasing or stopping the pain. Right now, just notice your knee pain. See if you can notice where your legs and hips feel tense, and breathe into the tension. As it relaxes, see how the pain feels.” If you have more space, you can go into more detail

34、s.Offer a trade: their contact information for something valuable.“Of course, your knee pain isnt gone completely. This is just a clue. If youd like a free article with illustrations on how to decrease knee pain and help your swing, just leave your contact information and you will be given an additi

35、onal golf swing tip every week.” You can just follow this example.Finally, dont ignore design.Keep it simple. In a loud, overcrowded world, simplicity and straightforwardness have the best chance of being noticed. Use plenty of white space, easy-to-read front (字體), and avoid complicated patterns.Bes

36、ides, you can try Robin Williams (not THAT Robin Williams) book, The Non-Designers Design Book, Maybe you can learn something from it.Have fun with your advertising!56. Which of the following is a tip for advertising successfully?A. Call ones name whenever meeting with someone.B. Keep in mind that a

37、dvertising is first journey marketing.C. Pay attention to design and keep it complicated if possible.D. Educate your potential customers about something helpful.57. How do you understand the underlined sentence in the passage?A. The golfers knee was hurt and he cant play golf any more.B. The golfer

38、cant swing because of the knee pain and he needs treatment.C. The golfers knee pain was caused by stress and we should help him stop the stress.D. The golfer cant play golf any more and well speak to him and offer him some tips.BFantasy literature is fantasy in written form. Historically speaking, t

39、he majority of fantasy works have been literature. Since the 1950s however, a growing part of the fantasy genre (流派) has taken the form of video games, music, painting, and the like. It is difficult to define the precise “beginning” of fantasy literature, as stories involving magic and terrible mons

40、ters have existed since time immemorial. On the whole, the genre, as a distinct type, began to become visible in the Victorian times, in the works of writers such as William Morris, Lord Dunsany and George Macdonald.Some commentators declared that the South African-born, English professor of philolo

41、gy, J. R. R. Tolkien, was influential to the mass-popularization of the fantasy genre, with his hugely successful publications The Hobbit, and The Lord of the Rings. Tolkien himself, though, was largely informed by an ancient body of Anglo-Saxon myths particularly Beowulf but it was after his work t

42、hat the genre began to receive the name, “fantasy”. J. R. R. Tolkiens close friend C.S. Lewis, author of the The Chronicles of Narnia, also an English professor interested in similar themes, was also connected with popularizing the commercial success of the fantasy genre.Outstanding authors in the g

43、enre who undertook popular fantasy works after Tolkiens The Lord of The Rings phenomenon of the 1950s and 1960s appeared quickly. In recent years, the rate of female-to-male authors in a typically-stocked bookstore has skyrocketed, with female authors surpassing the volume of the male ones.Fantasy h

44、as been famous from other forms of literature by its style. The fantasy world requires, like any genre, appropriate language, arid that language can vary. In various forms of fairytale fantasy, even the villains (壞人) language would be inappropriate if vulgar (粗俗的). Famous fantasy author Raymond E. F

45、eist considered his genre to be one where “ordinary people” were placed in extraordinary situations, and writing about what would happen.58. How many fantasy writers are mentioned in this passage?A. Five.B. Six.C. Seven.D. Eight.59. The underlined word “skyrocketed” in the third paragraph means .A.

46、rise rapidly and suddenlyB. drop rapidly and suddenlyC. rise slowly and steadilyD. drop slowly and steadily60. This passage is mainly about .A. the background of fantasy literatureB. some famous works about fantasy literatureC. the origin and its popularity of fantasy literatureD. some outstanding a

47、uthors of fantasy literatureCHold your smart phone, smile at the front camera, and click! You get a selfie. There is no doubt that this photo is yours. But if a monkey takes a selfie, does the camera owner have the right to decide how to use it?Recently, this question has caused a problem between Wi

48、kimedia Foundation, a non-profit organization, and British wildlife photographer David J. Slater.In 2011, Slater was visiting a park in Indonesia when a macaque (獼猴) got hold of one of his cameras. “They were quite naughty, jumping all over my equipment,” Slater told The Telegraph, “and it looked li

49、ke they were already posing for the camera when one hit the button.” The result was hundreds of monkey selfies. The best of images was a female macaque grinning toothily into the lens.This week, the grinning monkey selfie returned to the news when Wikimedia refused Slaters request to take the photos

50、 down from Wikimedia Commons, a website that is run by the organization and offers free images.According to Wikimedia, anyone who downloads the monkey selfie, or any of the millions of images on the site, can copy and use any works here freely as long as they follow what the author says. The questio

51、n that arose here was whether Slater, who had not held the camera, set up the shot, of pressed the shutter (快門), could be considered the photographer of the monkey selfie. Wikimedias position on this was clear: as the work of a non-human animal, this photo has no human author who owns the copyright.

52、Only authors of creative works, like a piece of writing or a song, own copyrights. In terms of photos, US copyright law says whoever pushes the button on the camera owns the copyright to the image produced, which means that if tourists ask you to take a photo of them, and you happen to hit the shutt

53、er button at the exact moment that Justin Bieber, a Canadian singer, made faces behind them, you, as the photographer, would have the photos copyright and sell it. The tourists, who own the camera on which the photo was taken and asked you to take the photo dont get the right to use it without you a

54、llowing them to. All this has been complicated by the appearance of surveillance cameras (監(jiān)控攝像頭), smart phones, and large scale photography projects (批量攝影項目) for which assistants often press the shutter button to produce works whose copyrights belong to their boss.Slater seems to be thinking along t

55、hese lines. He says that buying the cameras, spending thousands of pounds to transport himself to Indonesia, and allowing the monkeys to “steal” his cameras make him the author of the image, regardless of who pushed the button. “In law, if I have an assistant then I still own the copyright, he told

56、the “Today” Show. “I believe in this case, the monkey was my assistant.”But if one is to believe his own telling of the monkey stealing his camera, Slater didnt ask the monkeys to take the selfies and finally took the camera away.If that seems unfair, think about this. If a person left her laptop in a cafe,
