24、Advertisements are everywhere, TV, newspapers, magazines and of course, on the Internet. Is advertisement really necessary? Billions of dollars are spent on it every year, so it must be important. After all, it’s a busy world. You have to advertise to get people’s attention to sell products!

Not every company thinks that way, however. The NO-AD company doesn’t advertise in traditional ways. It sells its products by word of mouth. In this way, they can save money and keep costs down, which makes their products cheaper for customers.

“Word-of-mouth advertising” happens when one person tells another about a good experience with a product or service. That next person then tells another friend, family member, or colleague (同事). And so a chain of information is created.

Usually, advertisers talk about how good their product is. Although they say things like “Studies show that our product is the best,” or “Everyone loves this product,” it can sound unconvincing. It’s much more believable to hear about a product from a family member or friend who has used it and liked it. Our loved ones’ opinions are very important to us, so we often listen to their advice about a product.

Word-of-mouth advertising has other advantages, too. It’s cost-effective (after all, it’s free) and a company doesn’t have to create a complex business plan to do it. Here is some advice for small businesses about word-of-mouth advertising.

● Be prepared to talk about your company at any time. You never know who you will meet. Always carry business cards.

● Only say good things about your company. Don’t say bad things about your competition.

● Help other companies by recommending people to them. The more you help others, the more good luck will come back to you and that’s good business.

【1】Why do some companies spend lots of money on advertisements?

A．To make their products very useful.

A．Telling people how good the product is on TV.

B．Recommending the product you like to your friends.

C．Telling people the product is the best in the newspaper.

D．Showing people how popular the product is on the Internet.

【3】What does the underlined word “unconvincing” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A．Uncomfortable.

B．Unimportant.

C．Unbelievable.

D．Unusual.

27、What Is Self-tracking All about

Perhaps you’ve tracked（观测） how many kilometers you’ve run, how many hours you’ve slept or how much you’ve eaten in a day.

If so, you’ve taken part in a popular movement called the “Quantified Self Movement” or “Self-tracking”. Maybe you’ve wanted to change a bad habit but couldn’t. Self-tracking may be your answer. The idea is to collect information about your everyday activities and analyze（分析） them to help improve and form a healthier lifestyle.

Recently, tools such as smartphones, apps, along with newly published wearable things, are making self-tracking easy. Today, one can use Fitbit, the Jawbone Up, Google Glass or a smart watch to record personal data(数据) including sleeping hours, stress levels, heart rate and mood.

So why does a person self-track? Someone may be trying to lose weight or improve their sleep. Another person feels tired after eating. Self-tracking could help him to know what foods make him sleepy and watch his diet.

Tracking daily activities isn’t a new concept. In years past, athletes and their coaches kept notes food, training and sleep in order to achieve an athletic goal. Similarly, doctors have also helped patients to record parts of their lifestyles and eating habits to help fight health problems. However, it wasn’t until 2007 that magazine writers Gary Wolf and Kim Kelly created the term (术语) “Quantified Self” or  “self-tracking”.

Although self-tracking has many advantages, Dennis Nash, president of Data Speaks Health Solutions, says self-tracking has its disadvantages. Once people start tracking their daily activities, it can become an extra task people like to do often. Also, they might begin to worry too much about their health.

Though self-tracking doesn’t make sure that one’s quality of life will improve, it can encourage people to make healthier choices.
