24、Advertising gives useful information about which products to buy. But modern advertising does more than gives news about products and services. Today's advertisements, or ads, try to get consumers(消费者) to buy certain brands(品牌) .Writers of advertising are so skillful that they can sometimes persuade(说服) a consumer to wear a certain kind of clothing, eat a special kind of cereal(麦片), or see a movie . Consumers might never even want a product if they did not see or hear advertisements for it.

For example, you probably do not need the newest cereal in the supermarket. There are probably many cereal brands on your kitchen shelves. You may not have space on your shelf for another. But if you see ads about a new cereal that is your extra -tasty and has a free prize in the box, you may want it. Advertising must get attention. To be effective(有效), it must be exciting, entertaining, or provide some pleasure. The secret of writing good advertising copy is to offer a good idea as well as a product. The idea is what the ad is really selling. One example is an ad that says eating a certain cereal will make a person do well in sports. That cereal brand may sell better if consumers think it offers strength and energy.

【1】What is discussed in this passage?

A. The content（内容） of modern advertising.

A. modern advertising has less influence on customers

B. once customers see ads about a new cereal, they are sure to buy it

【3】What can we infer from the passage?

25、

Nowadays farming activities have become a required course in Chinese schools. A document by the Ministry of Education said China has had labor (劳动) education in primary and middle school in recent years. Students are encouraged to learn to work on farms so they can develop more hands-on skills that can help them understand the value of labor.

During this summer vacation, students from the Affiliated High school of South China Normal University (SCNU) had the chance to connect with nature and see what farming is all about. Their one-week field trip, which started on Aug. 18th, was held on a farm in Guangdong Province. After an hour's drive, about 500 students arrived in the countryside and began to live, eat and work with the local people. "It was my first time in the countryside," said Huang Ziteng, "I was afraid that the living conditions might be too uncomfortable for me."

However, the fresh air and large land changed his mind, and he quickly thew himself into hands-on work in the fields. He did the work for a whole afternoon, including harvesting crops (收割庄稼), tying them up and moving them to a ware house (a place to store crops).

As the old saying goes, "A porridge (粥) and a meal make it difficult to think about where you are going", he said: "I now understand how far it travels from the farm to the plate. I'll value food and never be too picky about it anymore."

But the outdoor experience was not all about hardship. "Escaping (逃离) from the electronic world, I could have a great time with my friends in the countryside," said Pei Fangzhou, a 16-year-old girl.

【1】Why are students required to learn to do farm work according to the Ministry of Education?

A.Because they can get higher marks by working on farms.

B.Because they can lower their stress and develop a good habit.

C.Because they may value the labor better through hardship and difficulties.

【3】Huang Ziteng may feel _______ about hands-on work in the fields in the end.

【4】What does the old saying in Paragraph 4 mean in Chinese?

【5】Which of the inferring is NOT true according to the passage?

A.Huang Ziteng will not be pleased to experience again next summer vacation.

B.Pei Fangzhou thinks that being away from the busy city life is a real pleasure.

C.Some students in SCNU used to be picky about the food, but they won't after the trip.
