【正文】 to every 47 —not to pressure me but to 48 me. One of my favorite sportsrelated memories was when I was 49 in the Canadian Triathlon Championships. As I ran by a big truck, I saw my mother 50 on top of one of its huge wheels, cheering for me. I find it sad when people say their parents have never seen them 51 . When I was at the University, I pleted only one semester and then decided to 52 so I could race professionally fulltime. Mum was the first person I called. It was a 53 moment. I wasn’t sure how she would react. ―Mum, I have this opportunity, and I think I’m going to take it. What do you think?‖ She was as 54 as ever. It turned out to be a good 55 .

Your only goal in advertising is to show enough gold to get people to want to be a prospect. Fet about selling them anything. Then how do you show them the gold? Keys to effective advertising are as follows. Talk to one person, and call his / her name. On a crowded Manhattan street, elbowtoelbow with a sea of people, I still heard someone speak in a conversational voice — ―Mark.‖ I turned my head around. Of course he was talking to someone else, but it still caught my attention. You need to speak to one person, and call his / her name. In marketing, the next best thing to a personal name is your Who and What. For example, ―Golfers‖ = who ―have knee pain affecting their swing?‖ = what. Educate them in a helpful way. If you have room, take the time to explain one point that will help them with the problem they are facing. For smaller ads you can just point them towards a web page where you want to educate them about something helpful. For instance, ―Most pain is actually caused by stress. Stopping the stress means decreasing or stopping the pain. Right now, just notice your knee pain. See if you can notice where your legs and hips feel tense, and breathe into the tension. As it relaxes, see how the pain feels.‖ If you have more space, you can go into more details. Offer a trade: their contact information for something valuable. ―Of course, your knee pain isn’t gone pletely. This is just a clue. If you’d like a free article with illustrations on how to decrease knee pain and help your swing, just leave your contact information and you will be given an additional golf swing tip every week.‖ You can just follow this example. Finally, don’t ignore design. Keep it simple. In a loud, overcrowded world, simplicity and straightforwardness have the best chance of being noticed. Use plenty of white space, easytoread front (字體 ), and avoid plicated patterns. Besides, you can try Robin Williams (not THAT Robin Williams) book, The NonDesigner’s Design Book, Maybe you can learn something from it. Have fun with your advertising! 56. Which of the following is a tip for advertising successfully? A. Educate your potential customers about something helpful. B. Keep in mind that advertising is first journey marketing. C. Pay attention to design and keep it plicated if possible. D. Call one’s name whenever meeting with someone. 57. How do you understand the underlined sentence in the passage? A. The golfer’s knee was hurt and he can’t play golf any more. B. The golfer’s knee pain was caused by stress and we should help him stop the stress. C. The golfer can’t swing because of the knee pain and he needs treatment. D. The golfer can’t play golf any more and we’ll speak to him and offer him some tips. B Atticus was weak: he was nearly fifty. When Jem and I asked him why he was so old, he said he got started late, which we felt reflected upon his abilities and manliness. He was much older than the parents of our school contemporaries, and there was nothing Jem or I could say about him when our classmates said, ―My father—‖ Jem was football crazy. Atticus was never too tired to play keepaway, but when Jem wanted to tackle him, Atticus would say, ―I’m too old for that, son.‖ Our father didn’t do anything. He worked in an office, not in a drugstore. Atticus did not drive a dumptruck for the county, he was not the police officer, he did not farm, work in a garage, or do anything that could possibly arouse the admiration of anyone. Besides that, he wore glasses. He was nearly blind in his left eye, and said left eyes were the tribal（ 家族的 ） curse of the Finches. Whenever he wanted to see something well, he turned his head and looked from his right eye. He did not do the things our schoolmates’ fathers did: he never went hunting。t D. mustn39。t B. sho
