You listen to their conversation: I cant believe it-a Lorenzo Bertolla! They are almost impossible to find. Isnt it beautiful? And its a lot cheaper than the one Sara bought in Rome.They leave and you go over to see this incredible sweater. Its nice and the price is right. Youve never heard of Lorenzo Bertolla, but those girls looked really stylish. They must know. So, you buy it. You never realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agency. They are actually paid to go from store to store, talking loudly about Lorenzo Bertolla clothes.Every day we notice what people are wearing, driving and eating. If the person looks cool, the product seems cool, too. This is the secret of undercover marketing. Companies from Ford to Nike are starting to use it. Undercover marketing is important because it reaches people that dont pay attention to traditional advertising. This is particularly true of the MTV generation-consumers between the age of 18 and 34. It is a golden group. They have a lot of money to spend, but they dont trust ads. So advertising agencies hire young actors to perform in bars and other places where young adults go. Some people might call this practice deceptive (骗人的), but marketing executive Jonathan Ressler calls it creative. Look at traditional advertising. Its effectiveness is decreasing. However, one might ask what exactly is real about of young women pretending to be enthusiastic about a sweater? Advertising executives would say its no less real than an ad. The difference is that you know an ad is trying to persuade you to buy something. You dont know when a conversation you overhear is just a performance.4. The two attractive young women were talking so that they could _.A. get the sweater at a lower price B. be heard by people aroundC. be admired by other shoppers D. decide on buying the sweater5. Lorenzo Bertolla is _.A. a very popular male singer B. an advertising agencyC. a clothing company in Rome D. the brand name of a sweater6. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. The two girls are in fact employed by the Lorenzo Bertolla Company.B. The MTV generation tend to be more easily influenced by ads.C. Traditional advertising is becoming less effective because its too direct. D. Undercover marketing will surely be banned soon by the government.7. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Two Attractive Shoppers B. Lorenzo Bertolla SweatersC. Ways of Advertising D. Undercover MarketingC Winter begins in the north on December 22nd. People and animals have been doing what they always do to prepare for the colder months. Squirrels (松鼠), for example, have been busy gathering nuts from trees. Well, scientists have been busy gathering information about what the squirrels do with the food they collect. They examined differences between red squirrels and gray squirrels in the American state of Indiana. The scientists wanted to know how these differences could affect the growth of black walnut (黑胡桃) trees. The black walnut is the nut of choice for both kinds of squirrels. The black walnut tree is also a central part of some hardwood forests. Rob Swihart of Purdue University did the study with Jake Goheen, a former Purdue student now at the University of New Mexico. The two researchers estimate that several times as many walnuts grow when gathered by gray squirrels as compared to red squirrels. Gray squirrels and red squirrels do not store nuts and seeds in the same way. Gray squirrels bury nuts one at a time in a number of places. But they seldom remember where they buried every nut. So some nuts remain in the ground. Conditions are right for them to develop and grow the following spring. Red squirrels, however, store large groups of nuts above ground. Professor Swihart calls “death traps for seeds”. Gray squirrels are native to Indiana. But Professor Swihart says their numbers began to decrease as more forests were cut for agriculture. Red squirrels began to spread through the state during the past century. The researchers say red squirrels are native to forests that stay green all year, unlike walnut trees. They say the cleaning of forest land for agriculture has helped red squirrels invade Indiana. Jake Goheen calls them a sign of an environmental problem more than a cause.8. The study done by Rob Swihart and Jake Goheen is to _. Afind out the living conditions for squirrels Blearn squirrelsinfluence on black walnut trees Cdo something to get rid of squirrels Dsave the forests in the American state of Indiana9. The difference between gray squirrels and red squirrels mainly lies in _. Athe way they gather the walnut Bthe time they have winter sleep Cthe place they have winter sleep Dthe place they store the walnuts10. Professor Swiharts study shows that_.Ared squirrels eat more nuts than gray squirrelsBgray squirrels and red squirrels will have severe fightsCred squirrels way to store nuts stops nuts growing. Dblack walnuts are harmful to other animals11. According to the passage, which of the following is true? AThe black walnut is equally attractive to both gray and red squirrels. BGray squirrels do more harm to the forest than red squirrels. CRed squirrels and gray squirrels have helped the spread of walnut trees. DThe cleaning of forest land benefits red squirrels directly.DDear Gregory,Merry Christmas! You are now the proud owner of an iPhone. Hot Damn!
