because it reaches people that dont pay attention to traditional advertising this is particularly true of the mtv generationconsumers between the age of 18 and 34 it is a golden group they have a lot of money to spend, but they dont trust ads so advertising agencies hire young actors to “perform” in bars and other places here young adults go some people might call this practice deceptive（骗人的）, but marketing executive jonathan ressler calls it creative “look at traditional advertising its effectiveness is decreasing ”however, one might ask what exactly is “real” about young women pretending to

life enjoyableare not always the same women often are told “you cant have it all” sometimes what the speaker really is saying is :“you choose a career, so you cant expect to have closer relationships or a happy family life” or “you have a wonderful husband and childrenwhats all this about wanting a career?” but women need to understand and develop both aspects of well-being, if they are to feel good about themselvesour study shows that, for women, well-being has two aspects one is mastery, which includes self-respect, a sense of control over your life, and low levels of anxiety and depression masteryis closely related to the “doing” side of life, to work and activity pleasure is the other aspect, and it is made up of happiness, satisfaction and optimism it is tied more closely to the “feeling” side of life the two are independent of each other a woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure, and vice versa（反之亦然） for example, a woman who has a good job, but whose mother has just died, might be feeling very good about herself and in control of her work life, but the pleasure side could be damaged for a timethe concepts of mastery and pleasure can help us identify the sources of well-being for women, and correct past mistakes in the past, women were encouraged to look only at the feeling side of life as the source of all well-being but we know that both mastery and pleasureare important and mastery seems to be achieved largely through work in our study, all the groups of employed women were valued significantly higher in mastery than women who were not employeda womans well-being is developed when she takes on multiple roles at least by middle adulthood, the women who were involved in a combination of rolesmarriages, motherhood, and employmentwere the highest in well-being, in spite of warnings about stress and strain63it can be inferred from the first paragraph that _afor women, a sense of “mastery” is more important than a sense of “pleasure”bfor women, a sense of “pleasure” is more important than a sense of “mastery”ca sense of “mastery” and a sense of “pleasure” are both necessary for women dwomen cant have a sense of “mastery” and a sense of “pleasure” at the same time64which of the following can be considered as a source of “pleasure” for women?a family life b multiple roles in societyc regular employment d freedom from anxiety65the authors attitude towards women having a career is _a negative b positive c indifferent d realistic66one can conclude from the passage that if a woman takes on several social roles, _ait will be easier for her to overcome stress and strainbshe will be more successful in her careercher chances of getting promoted will be greaterdher life will be richer and more meaningful da pioneering head-teacher is calling for all secondary schools to follow his lead and start classes at 11 am, allowing teenagers two hours extra in beddr paul kelley, head of monkseaton community high school in north tyneside, said it would mean the end of sleeping in lessons before lunch, after experiments showed teenagers could have different body clocks from adults and younger children russell foster, an oxford professor of neuroscience （神经学）, tested the memory of 200 monkseaton pupils at 9 amand 2 pmusing pairs of words, and discovered a 9% improvement in the afternoon students correctly identified 51% of word pairs in the later session, compared with 42 % in the morning tayler mccullough, 15, one of the test subjects, said the majority of students would welcome the extra hours inbed “im extremely hard to get up in the morning one or two people like to get to school early, but most of us would be for going in later im sure it would make a big difference to our learning ability”kelley is adamant that a change of school timetable will have a significant impact on exam performance he said: “teenagers arent lazy were depriving（剥夺） them of the sleep they need through purely biological factors beyond their control this has a negative impact on their learning, and possibly on their mental and physical health weve just learnt of this, but it is vital that we act on it” kelley wants his schools governors to approve his plan and put the new timetable in place before the opening of monkseatons new20m school building, the most technologically advanced in the country, in septemberkelley hopes his latest idea will be just as successful “we have to be practical but this proves that, by starting later, childrens learning improves, as does their health” foster said, “this is preliminary （初步的） data, but whats exciting is that it matches more detailed studies carried out in canada and the us teenagers get up late not because they are lazy but because they are biologically programmed to do so”67 according to the passage, normally classes begin at _ in secondary schoola 7:00 am b 9:00 am c 11:00 am d 2:00 am68 according to russell fosters research, _a the students tested did better jobs in the afternoon b the students tested had very good memoriesc 42% of the students tested could do very good jobsd 51% of the students tested could master 9% of words69 what does the underlined word “adamant” in the fourth paragraph mean?a angry b absorbed c adaptable d determined70 fosters opinion on teenagers getting up late is that _a teenagers are practical b teenagers are lazy-bonesc its
