39、out products and services. Todays advertisements, or ads, try to get consumers to buy certain brands(品牌) .Writers of advertising are so skillful that they can sometimes persuade a consumer to wear a certain kind of clothing, eat a special kind of cereal(麦片), or see a movie . Consumers might never ev

40、en want a product if they did not see or hear advertisements for it. For example, you probably do not need the newest cereal in the supermarket.

41、 is your extra -tasty and has a free prize in the box, you may want it. Advertising must get attention. To be effective, it must be exciting, entertaining, or provide some pleasure. The secret of writing good advertising copy is to offer a good idea as well as a product. The idea is what the ad is r

42、eally selling. One example is an ad that says eating a certain cereal will make a person do well in sports. That cereal brand may sell better if consumers think it offers strength and energy. 53.

46、 only two things a person can be sure of in life; death and taxes. Americans do not have a corner on the death market, but many people feel that the United States leads the world with the worst taxes. Taxes consist of the money which people pay to support their government. There are generally three

47、levels of government in the United States: federal (联邦), state, and city; therefore, there are three types of taxes. Salaried people who earn more than a few thousand dollars must pay a certain percentage of their salaries to the federal government. The percentage varies from person to person. It de

48、pends on their salaries. The federal government has a graduated income tax, that is, the percentage of the tax (14 to 70 percent) increases as a persons income increases. With the high cost of taxes people are not very happy on April 15, when the federal taxes are due. The second tax is for the stat

49、e government: New York, California, North Dakota, or any of the other forty-seven states. Some states have an income tax similar to that of the federal government. Of course, the percentage for the state tax is lower. Other states have a sales tax, which is a percentage charged to any item which you

50、 buy in that state. For example, a person might want to buy a packet of cigarettes for twenty -five cents. If there is a sales tax of eight percent in that state, then the cost of the cigarettes is twenty -seven cents. This figure includes the sales tax. Some states use income tax in addition to sal

51、es tax to raise their revenues (收入) . The state tax laws are diverse (多样) and confusing . The third tax is for the city. This tax comes in two forms: property tax (people who own a home have to pay taxes on it) and excise (国产) tax, which is charged on cars in a city. The cities use these funds (资金)

52、for education, police and fire departments, public works and municipal (市政内) buildings. Since Americans pay such high taxes, they often feel that they are working one day each week just to pay their taxes. People always complain about taxes. They often protest that the government uses their tax doll

53、ars in the wrong way. They say that it spends too much on useless and impractical programs. Although Americans have different views on many issues , they tend to agree on one subject: taxes are too high. 57. How do you understand the sentence Americans do not have a corner on the death market? A. It

54、 means that Americans, just like all other people, must die. B. It means that Americans do not have a secret place to keep from death in their life. C. It means that Americans are not good at doing business in the death market. D. It means that there is no such place as a death market in the U. S . 58. Why should the American people usually pay three types of taxes? A. There are three levels of government -federal, state and city -to support the United States. B. There are three kinds of taxes to pay,
