Of course, the job is one of the (30) _ (demanding) in the humanities, and I often work 14 hours a day, but the job is more challenging and the rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.”There was an increasing note of respect in the clerks voice as she completed the form, stood up and personally showed me to the door.As I drove into our driveway, I was greeted by my lab assistant.

Choose the one that first best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Advertising is a highly developed twentieth-century industry. The development of radio, television, cinema, magazines and newspapers has gone hand in hand with the development of advertising. Why is advertising so popular? Is it a waste of money? It has been proved again and again that repeated advertising increases product sales. Since it increases production, the price can be reduced. Therefore advertising, instead of making a product more expensive, makes it cheaper.Advertising is now a scientific business. Once managers would say jokingly, “I know that half of what I spend on advertising is wasted, but I dont know which half.” Now, all parts of an advertising program are properly measured and researched.What makes a good advertisement? There have been major changes in advertising in the past sixty years. People read advertisements partly for information and partly for pleasure. Todays advertisements often start with a question, or a puzzle, with the purpose of attracting the readers attention. Of course, most advertisements contain information. But this is usually contained in a text that is interesting and often funny. Humor is very important. Sometimes advertisements tell a story, or the story may be continued over a number of advertisements. However, there is a danger in this. It is possible that the reader or viewer will remember the advertisement but not the name of the product.66. The purpose of advertising is _.A. to increase products salesB. to make a product much betterC. to spend more moneyD. to reduce the production67. Which of the following can be used in place of the underlined phrase “ hand in hand”?A. Here and there.B. Again and again.C. As usual.D. At the same time.68. What is meant by what managers said in the second paragraph?A. All the money on advertising was wasted.B. Not all the advertisements were well designed.C. All the managers knew about advertising then.D. Managers spent no money on advertising.69. What does the writer think of advertising?A. UselessB. UnnecessaryC. ImportantD. Wasteful(B)Coroline Pond sets off on Thursday on a 4.500-mile journey to visit her husband, Daniel, and her two step-children. Against their will, she and Daniel are forced to live on different continents.The reason is that Caroline is one of hundreds of British wives who are victims of a law which prevents their foreign husbands from joining them in this country. This law makes it almost impossible for a British woman to marry a foreigner-unless she is prepared to live in her husbands native country. But the law, which was intended to reduce the number of immigrants coming into the United Kingdom, does not apply to the British male who marries a foreign woman. He has the legal right to bring her to live with him in the country.“In the eyes of the law, women are second-class citizens,” Caroline says, “ In this country, we have about as many rights as a dog which belongs to a man.”Caroline, 27, is a demonstrator of physiology（生理学）in the Zoology Department at Oxford University. Daniel is an associate professor of Biology at Michigan University. Before they married eight months ago, she had applied to the Home Office for permission for him to live in Britain. “ It is a waste of time,” she says, “The answer is always never.”For the sake of her career, Caroline wishes to stay in her job for at least another 18 months and the couple was hoping to live in the small Victorian house she owns at Oxford. Ideally, while his wife is at the university, Daniel would have liked to come here and write scientific textbooks.“We have both accepted that I should be the breadwinner.” Caroline says, “ Daniel has always looked after the children and would continue to do so. I cannot understand why there is this law against women. After all, I pay the same taxes as a man.”For the past few years, Daniel and Caroline have already crossed the Atlantic 20 times between them. “ We are lucky because we can afford to pay the fares, but there must be many women who cannot.” She says. (C)The days of the hunter are almost over in India. This is partly because there is practically nothing left to kill, and partly because some steps have been taken, mainly by banning tiger-shooting, to protect those animals which still survive.Some people say that Man is naturally a hunter. I disagree with this view. Surely out earliest forefathers, who at forest possessed no weapons, spent their time digging for roots, and were no doubt themselves often hunted by meat-eating animals.I believe the main reason why the modern hunter kills is that he thinks people will admire his courage in overpowering dangerous animals. Of course, there are some who truly believe that the killing is not really the important thing, and that the chief pleasure lies in the joy of the hunt and the beauties of the wild countryside. There are also those for whom hunting in fact offers a chance to prove themselves and risk death by design; these men go out after dangerous animals like tigers, even if they say they only do it to rid the countryside of a threat. I can respect reasons like these, but they are clearly different from the need to strengthen your high opinion of yourself.The grea
