You listen to their conversation:I cant believe it-a Lorenzo Bertolla! They are almost impossible to find. Isnt it beautiful? And its a lot cheaper than the one Sara bought in Rome.They leave and you go over to see this incredible sweater. Its nice and the price is right. Youve never heard of Lorenzo Bertolla, but those girls looked really stylish. They must know. So, you buy it. You never realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agency. They are actually paid to go from store to store, talking loudly about Lorenzo BertoHa clothes.Every day we notice what people are wearing, driving and eating. If the person looks cool, the product seems cool, too. This is the secret of undercover marketing. Companies from Ford to Nike are starting to use it.Undercover marketing is important because it reaches people that dont pay attention to traditional advertising. This is particularly true of the MTV generation-consumers 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 where young adults go. Some people might call this practice misleading, 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 of young women pretending to be enthusiastic about a sweater? Adverting executives would say its no less real than an ad. The difference is that you know an ad is trying to persuade you to buy something. You don t know when a conversation you overhear is just a performance.46.

Which of the following would be the best rifle for the text?A. Two Attractive Shoppers B. Lorenzo Bertolla SweatersC. Ways of Advertising D. Undercover MarketingBBabies are not just passing idle time when they stare goggle-eyed at the television-they are actually learning about the world, U.S. researchers said. Parents may want t limit what their babies see on television , based on the study, said Donna Mumme, assistant professor of psychology at Tufts University in Boston, who led the research. “Children as young as 12 months are making decisions based n the emotional（情感的）reactions of adults around them,” Mumme said in a statement. “It turns out they can also use emotional information they pick up from television. This means that adults might want to think twice before they speak in a loud and harsh voice or let a baby see television programs meant for information about the world. A mother urging her baby to eat some “yummy” soup on a brother crying in fear when a dog approaches can influence a babys reaction. Mummes team tested babies to determine. If television has the same influence, showing actors reacting on a videotape to objects such as red spiral letter holder, a blue humpy ball, and a yellow garden hose attachment. Babies aged 10 months or 12 months were later given the same objects to play with. Ten-month-olds did not seem to e influenced by the video buy the 1-year-olds were. When the actors acted neutrally or positively to an object, the babies happily played with them. But if the actor had seemed afraid or disgusted, the babies would avoid the object.50.Psychology is the study of_.A.humans society and its growth B.humans hopes had dreamsC.humans mind and behaviors D.humans languages and cultures51.Which of the following is Mummes conclusion?A.Small babies should not be allowed to watch television programs.B.Adults need to think twice before they act in front of small babies.C.TV programs provide small babies with all the information they need.D.One-year-olds can be emotionally influenced by TV programs.52.Mumme reached his conclusion by_ .A.measuring the time babies spent in front of TV.B.making TV programs and advertisements for kids.C.showing actors how to react to blue bumpy ballsD.observing small babies reactions to TV programs53.Which of the following may the study lead to according to the researchers?A.Parents may want to limit what their babies see on television.B.Actors may try to behave themselves well in front of babies.C.Babies may be allowed to choose what they see on TV.D.Scientists may stop ignoring babies emotional world.第二节 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项54 It is spoken in North America, Great Britain, Australia, and New Zealand.
