why, he advertised, of course. first he opened a shop and then he put up a sign outside the shop to attract customers.that sign may have been no more than a plow carved into a piece of wood and a simple arrow pointing to the shop door. it was probably all the information people needed to find mr. plowright and his really good plows.many historians believe that the first outdoor signs were used about five thousand years ago. even before most people could read, they understood such signs. shopkeepers would carve into stone, clay, or wood symbols for the products they had for sale.a medium，in advertising talk, is the way you communicate your message. you might say that the first medium used in advertising was signs with symbols. the second medium was audio, or sound, although that term is not used exactly in the way we use it today. originally, just the human voice and maybe some kind of simple instrument, such as a bell, were used to get peoples attention.a crier, in the historical sense, is not someone who weeps easily. it is someone, probably a man，with a voice loud enough to be heard over the other noises of a city. in ancient egypt, shopkeepers might hire such a person to spread the news about their products. often this earliest form of advertising involved a newly arrived ship loaded with goods. perhaps the crier described the goods, explained where they came from, and praised their quality. his job was，in other words，not too different from a tv or radio commercial in todays world.56. what probably led to the start of advertising? _a. the discovery of iron.b. the specialization of labor.c. the appearance of new jobs.d. the development of farming techniques.57. to advertise his plows, mr. plowright _.a. praised his plows in publicb. placed a sign outside the shopc. hung an arrow pointing to the shopd. showed his products to the customers58. the writer makes up the two stories of mr. fielder and mr. plowright in order to _.a. explain the origin of advertisingb. predict the future of advertisingc. expose problems in advertisingd. provide suggestions for advertising59. in ancient egypt，a crier was probably someone who _.a. owned a shipb. had the loudest voicec. ran a shop selling goods to farmersd. functioned like todays tv or radio commercialbfor some people, music is no fun at all. about four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusic”. people who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musical notes (音调). amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs. amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale.as a result，songs sound like noise to an amusic. many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. life can be hard for amusics. their inability to enjoy music sets them apart from others. it can be difficult for other people to identify with their condition. in fact，most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusic. just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. that is why many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music. however，this can result in withdrawal and social isolation. “i used to hate parties,” says margaret，a seventyyearold woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. by studying people like margaret，scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition.scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music. the difference is complex，and it doesnt involve defective hearing. amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well. they also have no problems understanding ordinary speech. scientists compare amusics to people who just cant see certain colors.many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed (诊断). for years, margaret felt embarrassed about her problem with music. now she knows that she is not alone. there is a name for her condition. that makes it easier for her to explain. “when people invite me to a concert, i just say no thanks, im amusic,” says margaret. “i just wish i had learned to say that when i was seventeen and not seventy.”60. which of the following is true of amusics? _.a. listening to music is far from enjoyable for them.b. they love places where they are likely to hear music.c. they can easily tell two different songs apart.d. their situation is well understood by musicians.61. according to paragraph 3, a person with “defective hearing” is probably one who _.a. dislikes listening to speechesb. can hear anything nonmusicalc. has a hearing problemd. lacks a complex hearing system62. in the last paragraph，margaret expressed her wish that _.a. her problem with music had been diagnosed earlierb. she were seventeen years old rather than seventyc. her problem could be easily explainedd. she were able to meet other amusics63. what is the passage mainly concerned with? _.a. amusics strange behaviors.b. some peoples inability to enjoy music.c. musical talent and brain structure.d. identification and treatment of amusics. ctail spintwo dolphins race around in a big pool in the ocean park. the smaller dolphin grace，shows off a few of her tricks，turning around and waving hello to the crowd. the most amazing thing about her，however，is that shes even swimming at all. she doesnt have a tail. grace lost her tail as a baby when she got caught up in a fish trap. when the dolphin arrived at the ocean park in december 2005，she was fighting for her life. “is she going to make it?” her trainer, abbey stone, feared the worst. grace did make itbut her tail didnt. she ended up losing her flukes and the lower part of her peduncle.over the past six years, she has learned to swim without her tail. dolphins swim by moving their flukes and peduncle up and down. grace taught herself to move another waylike a fish! she pushes herself forward through the water by moving her peduncle from side to side.the movements put harmful pressure on graces backbone. so a company offered to create a manmade tail for her. the tail had to be strong enough to stay on grace as she swam but soft enough that it wouldnt hurt her.the first time grace wore the artificial tail, she soon shook it off and let it sink to the bottom of the pool. now, she is still learning to use the tail. some days she wears it for an hour at a time, others not at all. “the new tail isnt necessary for her to feel comfortable,” says stone, “but it helps to keep that range of motion（动作） and build muscles（肌肉）.”now, the dolphin is about to get an even happier ending. this month，grace will star in dolphin tale, a film that focuses on her rescue and recovery. her progress has inspired more than just a new movie. many people travel from near and far to meet her. seeing grace swim with her manmade tail gives people so much courage.64. when grace first arrived at the ocean park，her trainer worried about her _.a. physical buildb. potential abilityc. chance of survivald. adaptation to the surroundings65. a manmade tail is created for grace to _.a. let her recover fasterb. make her comfortablec. adjust her way of swimmingd. help her perform better tricks66. the story of grace inspires people to _.a. stick to their dreamsb. treat animals friendlyc. treasure what they haved. face difficulties bravelydsome people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. im not going to say luck，talent，and circumstances dont come into play because they do. some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence，and tha
