26、   Children experience advertising in many forms — on TV, radio, magazines, newspapers, movies, the Internet, text messages, social media and more. And advertising works on children. For example, the more TV a child watches, the more toys that child is likely to want and ask for. This is why it's important for children to learn that advertisements are trying to make people purchase something. And advertisers always aim to make their products look good, perhaps even better than they really are.

Advertising affects children in different ways. How children think of advertising can depend on several things, including their age, what they know or have experienced.

At 0-2 years, children can't tell the difference between advertising and actual programs.

At 3-6 years, children can recognize advertisements and tell them from programs, but they don't understand that ads are trying to sell something. And they are likely to think of advertisements as being funny.

At 7-11 years, when children go to primary school, they can understand that advertisements are trying to sell them something, remember advertising messages and recognize some advertising techniques (策略) like advertisements overstating (夸大) how good products are. However, they might not always understand that products aren't as good as advertisements say they are, or that advertisers might not be telling them any of the products' bad points.

To limit the effects of advertising on school-age children, the most important thing parents can do is talk about advertisements and encourage their children to think about what they're trying to do.

It's a good idea to focus on the advertisements that a child sees most often. For example, parents can get their children thinking and developing a questioning attitude. In other words, what's the product in this advertisement? What is it for? Who is it for?

They can also ask their children about the techniques that are being used to sell a product. This can help them work out how an advertisement makes its product look good.

【1】What does the underlined word "purchase" in Paragraph I mean?

A.Watch. B.Say.

C.Buy. D.Discuss.

【2】What do children aged 0-2 think of advertisements?

A.They are pretty funny. B.They are trying to sell toys.

C.They are being shown in many ways. D.They are no different from other programs.

【3】At what age can children know advertisements are not telling the truth?

A.2. B.3.

C.5. D.8.

【4】How can parents limit the influence of advertising on their children?

A.By guiding them to see through advertisements.

B.By teaching them how to run advertisements.

C.By buying advertised products and comparing them.

D.By talking about the most successful advertisements.

27、When my sister Gina was born, she had a problem with her heart. Her heart was pretty bad in the beginning and she stayed in the hospital for a month. The first few years were very difficult because she was very sick. She had five operations before she was three years old. She had trouble walking, playing with other children, and going to school.

Although Gina couldn’t laugh and talk, we all knew that she just needed love and care. Our parents wanted to take Gina to a special place in Florida. There she could swim with dolphins. Gina was afraid of swimming with them because she had never been around dolphins before. We had also never traveled that far as a family. When we got to Florida, we saw where the dolphins lived. It was a place where kids with special needs like Gina could come and spend time. I thought it was going to be a vacation, but it wasn’t. Gina had to work hard every day for a week.

The trip was amazing. Gina laughed and clapped when she saw the dolphin. The dolphin splashed（溅起水花） when it saw Gina. They swam together all day. Gina was able to move her body more than she normally did at home. Mom and Dad were proud of Gina. I was , too.

28、Let’s be frank. A CV (个人简历) is a highly professional business document and it is NO place to talk about your hobbies or your personal interests... right?

Well, not exactly.

Employers love knowing about the applicant’s hobbies and interests. Here is why:

Prospective employers invest in people; they hire and work with human beings, not robots. It is because of this that employers look for every clue in their prospective employees to find out about their true skills and competencies. What better way is there to achieve this than by looking at their hobbies and interests?

Benefits of including your hobbies and interests on your CV:

It will give the recruiter (招聘人员) a fuller and more complete picture of you.

Sporting interests indicate that you are fit and healthy.

Involvement in the community indicates good interpersonal skills.

Outside interests tell the employer that you can have a good time as well.

They form a great basis for discussion at the interview stage.

Examples of hobbies and what they say about YOU:

Computing: Good with technology.

Swimming: Keeps fit and healthy.

Puzzles: Excellent problem-solving skills.

Football/Soccer: Teamwork skills.

Chess: Intelligent, strategist.

Socializing with friends: Team player (rather than longer).

Possible pitfalls to avoid when writing your hobbies on your CV:

Avoid mentioning risky or time-consuming hobbies: It is in the employer's best interest to have you healthy, fit and able to work; therefore, we advise against writing regular rock climbing in the Himalayas as a hobby.

Irrelevant hobbies: How will “stamp and coin collecting” as a hobby help you to get a job as an Administrative Engineering Manager? On the other hand, stamp collecting would be a very valuable hobby to mention when applying for a job as a Stamp Appraiser (鉴定人).

Including too many hobbies: Usually, if you include more than just two or three hobbies on your CV, the employer is likely to wonder when this person will have any time to do some work?!

Lying: Having seen a TV program once (when you were twelve!) doesn't count as a hobby. You will be asked carefully about your hobbies and interests at the interview stage. Save yourself the embarrassment and do not lie about your hobbies.

【1】The underlined word “pitfalls” in the subtitle is closest in meaning to _________.

A．traps

B．experience

C．limits

D．confusion

【2】According to the author, which hobby is more valuable to getting a job as a diplomat?

A．Computing

B．Playing chess.

C．Reading comic books.

D．Making ship models

【3】The passage is mainly intended for those who are ________.

A．preparing their resumes

B．studying people's hobbies

C．wondering what hobby to take up

D．working in the department of human resources

29、If you’ve never learned the stories behind the names of various South American countries, you might be surprised by some of their historical roots.

Ecuador

Once upon a time, the whole region where the country of Ecuador now exists was named Quito, which is the name of its current capital. The name “Quito” is a nod to the indigenous (本地的) Quito people who lived there in pre-Columbian times, dating back to as far as 2000 BC. Ecuador, as we know it today, is Spanish for “equator” (赤道). In 1735, French scientists came to measure the equator in order to, essentially, carry out a proxy war between Newton and Descartes. Newton believed the earth was flattened at the poles, and Descartes believed it was squeezed at the equator. Eventually, the French pinpointed the equator and proved Newton right.

Venezuela

Believe it or not, the name “Venezuela” is actually believed to be a nod to Venice—yes, the watery city in Italy. As far as we know, this name might have come from Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci. In1499, a naval (海军的) expedition was exploring Lake Maracaibo when they noticed the dwellings of the indigenous Alu people, who built their homes on stilts (支柱) above the water. These structures reminded Vespucci of home (or of Venice, to be more specific).

Argentina

You probably didn’t think this had to do with precious metals, did you? The name “Argentina” actually came from the Latin argentum (银), which means “silver”. In the 1520s, Venetian explorer Sebastian Cabot learned of the mythical “Sierra de la Plata”—or a mountain with a jackpot’s worth of silver. It could only be accessed through an estuary (河口) in the south of the continent, which he named Silver River. Cabot never did find this rumored mountain, but the name he gave the river stuck, along with “Argentina”, or The Land of Silver.

【1】What did French scientists do in 1735?

A．Named the place.

B．Carried out a war.

C．Explored the region.

D．Did research on the equator.

【2】What can we know about Venezuela?

A．It’s far from the equator.

B．It’s more developed than Italy.

C．It’s a country built on the mountains.

D．It’s connected with an Italian explorer.

【3】From which did the name “Argentina” come?

A．A kind of metal.

B．A local song.

C．A legend.

D．A mountain.
