Why is it so popular? Because it has been proved that repeated advertising can increase product sales and make the price of products lower. Advertisements can be made in many ways. People in the U.S.A. and Europe use them to advertise all kinds of products, services and other things as well. People use large boards, signs inside or outside shops and cinemas, printed mails or gifts to make advertisements. Besides, balloons and aeroplanes are also used. An advertisement, however, should be properly designed to avoid （避免）waste. How is an advertisement made? An advertising firm (公司) selected a company designs and makes the advertisement by studying the information about customers（顾客） and products. The designers put forward their different plans with pictures or photos. When the advertisement is ready, it is tested in a place to see whether it can make the product popular with customers or not. If it does, it will be used all over the country. Otherwise it should be designed until it is accepted by customers and market by finding out the reason for the failure.()4.

The steps of making advertisements include the following except _A. the designers put forward their plans B. the advertising company studies information about customers and products C. the advertisements are tested D. the advertisements are sold to companiesCLet children learn to judge （判断）their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other peoples. In the same way, children learn to do all the other things: they learn to do without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle, compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.If it is a matter of right answer, as it may be in mathematics（数学） or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine(常规) work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he cant find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure（测量） their own understanding, and how to know what they know or do not know.7. According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is by _.A. listening to skilled peoples adviceB. asking older people many questionsC. making mistakes and having them correctedD. doing what other people do8. Which of the following does the writer think teachers should NOT do?A. Give children correct answers.B. Allow children to make mistakes.C. Point out childrens mistakes to them.D. Let children mark their own work.9. The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are _.A. different from learning other skillsB. the same as learning skillsC. more important than other skillsD. not really important skills10. The title of this passage could probably be _.A. Let Us Teachers Stop WorkB. Let Us Make Children LearnC. Let Children Correct Their ExercisesD. Let Children Learn By Themselves五 、 单词拼写（共10题，每小题1分，满分10分）A)根据句子意思，用括号中所给词的正确形式填空，每空填一词。1. What about _(not wear) boots today? You must go to school. 2.

The English always take a bath. First, they sit in a bathtub full of warm water. Then they soap themselves, and finally, they rinse off the soap, all in the same water. The Japanese on the other hand, first wash with soap in the shower. Then they go and sit in a bathtub full of warm water for twenty minutes or more. Later, others in the family use the same water to sit and relax in. The Thai（泰国人）do not get into a shower or a bathtub. They stand in a room or area of a house where there is a big jar（罐子）full of water. With a bowl they pour water from the jar on themselves so that other people do not see their bodies. The Thai always wear a long piece of cloth called a pasin around their bodies. They wear this when they are bathing.Everyone gets clean in a different way.
