27、sten 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

28、 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 Bertolla clothes. Every day we notice what people are wear

29、ing, 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 part

30、icularly 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 de

31、ceptive(骗人的), 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? Advertising executives would say its no les

32、s 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. 56.

Undercover Marketing B“I sat-in at a restaurant for six months, and when they finally agreed to serve me, they didnt have what I wanted”-so went a famous line. In reality, the sit-in movement was not a

36、joke. It began in Greensboro, North Carolina, at 4:30 P. M. , on the afternoon of February 1, 1960. On that day, Ezell Blair Jr. , Joseph McNeil, David Richmond, and Franklin McClain entered an F. W. Woolworth store. They sat down at a segregated（隔离的）lunch counter, ordered coffee, and then refused t

37、o leave when told, We dont serve Negroes. ” The four young men had expected not to be served. What no one had expected, however, was that they would sit there and politely, but firmly, refuse to leave. This was 1960, and throughout the South black people were not allowed to sit at the same lunch cou

38、nters with whites, swim at the same beaches, use the same water fountains, or worship at the same churches. Segregation was the law, and it meant separation of the races in every way. The next day, the four returned to Woolworths-this time accompanied by sixteen other students. Again they sat at the

39、 lunch counter and requested service. Again they were refused. And again, they declined to leave. On Wednesday, February 3, seventy students filled the Woolworths store. This time, the group included white students as well as black. Many brought school books and studied while they waited. By this ti

40、me, their protest had become known nationwide as a “sit-in”. On Thursday, there was trouble. An angry group of white teenagers began shoving（推搡） and cursing them but were quickly removed by the police. By February 10, the sit-in movement had spread to five other states. By September 1961, more than

41、70,000 people, both black and white, had participated in sit-ins at segregated restaurants and lunch counters, kneel-ins at segregated churches, read-ins at segregated libraries, and swim-ins at segregated pools and beaches. Over 3,600 people had been arrested, and more than 100 students had been dr

42、iven away. But they were getting results. On June 10, 1964, the U. S Senate passed a major civil rights bill outlawing（宣布为非法）racial discrimination in all public places. President Lyndon Johnson signed it on July 2, and it became law. But the highest credit still goes to the four brave students from

43、North Carolina who first sat-in and waited it out. 60. In this passage, “sit-in” refers to _. A. an activity where people sit together and drink coffee freely B. a bill which outlaws racial discrimination in all public places C. a form in which people peacefully sit and decline to leave D. a polite

The civil rights bill was passed in 1964 by the U. S. Senate. CSometimes we cry because we are sad and sometimes because we are extreme

47、ly happyAn irritant(刺激物)，such as onion(洋葱) smell or grains of sand in the eye，can also make cryIn this case tears perform an obvious role in getting rid of substances that might harm the surface of the eyeDrWilliam Frey of the Dry Eye and Tear Research Center at StPaul in Minnesota，USA，believes that

48、 tears from emotional causes may perform a similar roleHe thinks that crying could get rid of emotional stress by washing away a chemical in the blood caused by strong emotions. To prove his theory, he hopes first to identify this chemical and then see if it is found in tears of sadness or happiness

49、 So far, DrFrey has failed to find out the difference between emotional tears and tears caused by an irritant in the eyeThis may be because these substances themselves cause a degree of stress and emotionWhat he has identified in all tears is a variety of biochemicals(生化物)which are one of the causes

50、 of stressA more detailed study may help us understand why sufferers from stress-related disorders cry less often than healthy peopleDrFrey is also very interested to see if there are any physiological(生理学的)explanations for why women，in general，cry five times more often than men，on average64.

DrFrey believes th

54、at tears from emotional causes may play a role in getting rid of A. emotional stress by washing away a chemical in the bloodB. onion smell or grains of sandC. sufferings from irritantsD. substances that might not harm the surface of the eyeDEditors/Designers WantedChina Daily, a national English newspaper, is looking for English-language senior editors/ designers.
