Is advertisement really necessary? Billions of dollars are spent on it every year, so it must be important. After all, its a busy world. You have to advertise to get peoples attention to sell products! Not every company thinks that way, however. The NO-AD company doesnt advertise in traditional ways. It sells its products by word of mouth. In this way, they can save money and keep costs down, which makes their products cheaper for customers.“Word-of-mouth advertising” happens when one person tells another about a good experience with a product or service. That next person then tells another friend, family member, or colleague (同事). And so a chain of information is created.Usually, advertisers talk about how good their product is. Although they say things like “Studies show that our product is the best,” or “Everyone loves this product,” it can sound unconvincing. Its much more believable to hear about a product from a family member or friend who has used it and liked it. Our loved ones opinions are very important to us, so we often listen to their advice about a product.Word-of-mouth advertising has other advantages, too. Its cost-effective (after all, its free) and a company doesnt have to create a complex business plan to do it. Here is some advice for small businesses about word-of-mouth advertising. Be prepared to talk about your company at any time. You never know who you will meet. Always carry business cards. Only say good things about your company. Dont say bad things about your competition. Help other companies by recommending people to them. The more you help others, the more good luck will come back to you and thats good business.29 . Why do some companies spend lots of money on advertisements?ATo make their products very useful.BTo make the environment beautiful.CTo tell people the names of their companies.DTo attract people to their products.30 . Which of the following may be a word-of-mouth advertising?ATelling people how good the product is on TV.BRecommending the product you like to your friends.CTelling people the product is the best in the newspaper.DShowing people how popular the product is on the Internet.31 . What does the underlined word “unconvincing” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?AUncomfortable.BUnimportant.CUnbelievable.DUnusual.32 . What might NO-AD companies do according to the passage?ACreate complex business plans.BSay bad things about other companies.CProvide cheaper products for customers.DHelp other companies by wishing them good luck.33 . The writer writes the passage to _.Afind out the value of making advertisementsBintroduce people a new way of advertisingCtell people to care more about advertisementsDshow how to sell products by advertising on TVYou may have heard about the woman who spent a year living on just a pound a day. But in Germany, a woman named Heidemarie Schwermer has given up using money completely. Her decision probably has something to do with her experience as a penniless refugee during the Second World War(WWII).After the war, she led an ordinary life. She worked as a teacher for many years, and then she became a psychotherapist. But her memories of what it was like to have nothing stayed with her and she decided to do something about it. She came up with the idea of an exchange network which allowed people to exchange things and services without using money. Even though the program turned into a great success, she wanted to do something crazier. So she made the decision to leave her home and close her bank account. At first her daughters thought their mother had made an awful mistake. But gradually, they have gotten used to her unusual lifestyle.Heidemarie sleeps on peoples sofas and wears second-hand clothes people dont need anymore, Shops give the food they cant sell, and she knows she could always go to a soup kitchen ( a place where food is offered to the hungry for free or at a very low price).People are interested in learning more about Heidemaries experiences, so she has written several books about her life. she has given away the money she madeoften to complete strangers.34 .

Tourists and travelers often get to try some unfamiliar food. That is part of the fun of traveling. Here are four peoples experiences with foreign food.David King is a Chinese student in France. “I never had cheese or even milk before I came to France. Cows are seldom seen in my part of China. So there is no milk or milk products. I drank some milk when I first arrived in France. I hated it! I tried cheese, too, but I didnt like it. I love ice cream, though thats made from milk.”Birgit is from Sweden. She traveled to Australia on vocation. “I was in a restaurant that was special in fish. I heard some other people order flake, so I ordered some, too. It was delicious! Later, I learned that flakes is an Australian name for shark. Now, whenever I see a new food, I try it on purpose. You know why? I remember how much I enjoyed flake.”Chandra is a dentist in Texas. She is from India. “ Im afraid to try new foods because maybe there is beef in them. Im a Hindu(印度教信徒)and my religion(信仰) stops me from eating meat from the cow. Thats why I cant eat hamburgers or noodles with meatballs.”Nathan is from the United States. He taught for a year in China. “My friend gave me some 100-year-old eggs to eat. I didnt like their appearance at all. The eggs were green inside, but my friends said the color was normal.
