known.in secret，based on their performance in the exam，the higherperforming and lowerperforming children were divided equally between the two classes.only the headmaster and the psychologists knew the truth.teachers for the next year were carefully selected for equal ability and experience.even the classrooms were chosen with similar facilities (设备)everything was made as equal as possible，except for one thing：one was called “class a”，the other，“class b”in everyones minds the children in class a were the clever ones，and the kids in class b were not so clever.some of the parents of the class a children were pleasantly surprised that their children had done so well and rewarded them with presents and praise，while the parents of some of the class b kids complained that their children did not work hard enough and took away some of their rewards.even the teachers taught the class b kids in a different manner，not expecting so much from them.for a whole year the illusion existed.then there was another endofyear exam.the results were not surprising.the children of class a performed so much better than those of class bin fact，the results were just as if they had been the top half chosen from last years exam.they had become “class a” children.and those in the other group，though equal the year before，had now become “class b” kids.that was what they were told for a whole year，that was

unveiled(公布)blueprints for titanic, a modern copy of the doomed ocean liner, although he didnt call the ship unsinkable any more. the ship will largely recreate the design and decoration of the fabled original, with some modifications to keep it in line with current safety rules and shipbuilding practices, and the addition of some modern comforts such as air conditioning, palmer said at a press conference in new york. the three passenger classes, however, will be prevented from mingling(混杂), as in 1912, palmer said. “im not too superstitious(迷信的).”palmer said when asked whether recreating a ship bestknown for sinking was tempting fate.white star line, the operator of the original ship, had said the titanic was designed to be unsinkable. about 1, 500 people died on titanics maiden voyage in 1912 from southampton to new york after the ship collided with an iceberg in the north atlantic. palmer, who created the company blue star line last year, refused to make a similar boast. “anything will sink if you put a hole in it, ” palmer said. “i think it would be very cavalier to say it.” unlike the original, titanicwill have more than enough space in its lifeboats for every person on board and will have additional escape staircases. markku kanerva, sales director at deltamarin, the finnish company designing the ship, said it would be the “safest cruise ship in the world”palmer refused to answer questions about the projects cost. although the titanic was the worlds largest ship in her time, she would be smaller than many of todays modern cruise ships. “its not about the money，” palmer said. “ive got enough money for it. i think thats all that matters.” forbes estimated palmers net worth to be $795 million in 2012.he describes himself as a billionaire. titanicwill be built by chinese state-owned csc jinling shipyard, which has already built four ore carriers for palmers mining business, he said. the contract to build titanichas not yet been signed, palmer said.【小题1】whats

products to buy. but modern advertising does more than gives news about products and services. todays advertisements, or ads, try to get consumers to buy certain brands. 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, 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.【小题1】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. 【小题2】according to the passage, a good advertisement should

vibrate (振动). when your mobile phone vibrates, you can leave quietly and let the others enjoy the performance.think twice before using mobile phones in elevators, museums, churches or other indoor public placesespecially enclosed spaces. would you want to listen to someones conversation in these places? worse yet, how would you feel if a mobile phone rang suddenly during a funeral! it happens more often than you think. avoid these embarrassing situations by making sure your mobile phone is switched off.when eating at a restaurant with friends, dont place your mobile phone on the table.
