A
　　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 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 probab1y 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 a 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, 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.
56. What is discussed in this passage
　　A. The content of modern advertising.　　 B. The skills of modern advertising.
　　C. The results of modern advertising.　　 D. The writing of modern advertising.
57. According to the passage, a good advertisement should________________.
　　A. be both persuasive and effective　　 B. give people useful information
　　C. show people a product　　 D. show people a new idea of a product
58. What can we infer from the passage
　　A. Customers can easily be persuaded by advertisements.
　　B. Customers should be persuaded by advertisements.
　　C. It’s impossible for customers to buy a product without advertisements.
　　D. Customers buy products according to their demands rather than the advertisements.
B
Imagine a world without trees. What if the rainforests and all of the plants and colorful animals that call it home, suddenly did not exist(存在) In 1962, Gaylord Nelson decided something needed to be done to protect the environment. The work that he began led to what we now know as Earth Day, which is celebrated each year around the world.
Nelson realized very few people were concerned(关注) about environmental problems. He then went to Washington, D.C., where he hoped to persuade President John F. Kennedy to take a stand on environmental problems. It wasn’t long before President Kennedy agreed that action should be taken. The President set out on a five-day, eleven-state environmental protection tour in September 1963. Although Kennedy’s tour was not a success, Nelson was not ready to give up.
Nelson continued to speak to audiences across 25 states about the importance of the environment. Although his point of view began to be accepted among most people, politicians were still not listening.
It was September of 1969, at a meeting in Seattle, when Nelson announced that he would hold a nationwide demonstration(游行) for environmental protection the next spring. On April 22, 1970, more than 20 million Americans took part in Nelson’s demonstration. It made people sit up and pay attention to environmental problems. One year later, that day was set up as an official international holiday by the UN. Each year on Earth Day, people plant trees, clean up rubbish, and do other things to care for the environment.

C. President Kennedy made an unsuccessful conservation tour.
D. Nelson prepared for the nationwide demonstration.

b. Few people cared about environmental problems.
c. President Kennedy set out on a conservation tour.
d. More than 20 million people joined in Nelson’s demonstration.

When you are a teenager, you often have a limited amount of money. So, it is very important that you spend that money wisely. It is likely that you are sometimes unable to figure out where all your money has gone. It is an indication that it is high time for you to develop the habit of spending your money more carefully. Some of the suggestions given below will help you with money management (管理).
Your will get a certain amount of money every week or month, so plan your budget (预算) in advance. Make a list of those expenses that are necessary and set aside (留出) a certain amount of money for each of them. It should include major items like mobile phone fees, restaurant bills, etc. And besides, a small amount has to be set aside for some unexpected expenses.
Planning your budget is not very tough. But keeping to the budget is a difficult task. Keep a close watch on your expenses. It can happen that several small unnecessary things that you have bought in a day may add up to a really big figure. In order to avoid this, write down the things you have to buy and their prices in a notebook every day. On weekends find out whether your expenses match up with your budget for the week. If not, then make sure you reduce some expenses in the following weeks to keep your expenses within your plan.
When you come across an expensive item, like a cellphone, that you wish to buy but do not have enough money, you may feel disappointed. Do not lose heart. Start saving some money every week. Eventually, you will be surprised to find out that you can actually afford the things which once you felt were out of reach.
You may feel that it is very convenient to buy things using credit cards just because you do not have to use cash on the spot. Later, you will realize that you have ended up paying more than you wanted to. So it is better if you shop using cash payments in order to save a good amount of money.
A little bit of attention and practice will help you develop the skills in money management. It is a quality that will help you all your life.
