Advertising gives useful information about which products to buy. But modern advertising does more than gives news about products and services. Today's advertisements, or ads, try to get consumers(消費者) to buy certain brands(品牌) .Writers of advertising are so skillful that they can sometimes persuade(說服) a consumer to wear a certain kind of clothing, eat a special kind of cereal(麥片), or see a movie . Consumers might never even 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. There are probably many cereal brands on your kitchen shelves. You may not have space on your shelf for another. But if you see ads about a new cereal that is your extra -tasty and has a free prize in the box, you may want it. Advertising must get attention. To be effective(有效), 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 really 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.

1.What is discussed in this passage?

A. The content（內(nèi)容） of modern advertising.

B. The skills of modern advertising.

C. The results of modern advertising.

D. The writing of modern advertising.

2. From the passage, we can infer that _________

A. modern advertising has less influence on customers

B. once customers see ads about a new cereal, they are sure to buy it

C. cereal can make people strong

D. cereal is a kind of food which is popular among people

3.What can we infer from the passage?

A. Customers can easily be persuaded by advertisements.

B. Customers should be persuaded by advertisements.

C. It's impossible for customers to buy a product without advertisements.

D. Customers buy products according to their demands rather than the advertisements.

“I didn't hear them call my name,” explained Shelley Hennig to Active Teens (AT) as she talked about that exciting moment on national television when she won the honor of Miss Teen USA 2004. “Are you ready？”is what she heard. Then she said，“I shook my head no，and then they said ‘yes’ and it was announced again.”

It was four days after that life changing moment for the seventeen­ year ­old high school student from Destrehan, Louisiana­. She was still on_cloud_nine.

“I was so shocked! I never believed that it could actually really happen. ”Present in the audience (觀眾) that day were: her mother and father, older brother, her friends, and her dance teacher.

Understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there，AT asked why her dance teacher had traveled so far to see her compete (比賽). “She's always been my role model. I've danced with her since I was six. She's been through so many difficulties and came through them all. I've learned to get over bad life's experiences and learned how to move on because of her.”

One of those bad life's experiences for Shelley happened three years ago when her brother Brad was killed in a drunk driving accident. He was 18. She found writing helped her get through the tough days. She said, “I write a lot about my brother. I write a lot, a lot，a lot...”

As Miss Louisiana Teen, she traveled around the state speaking to teens (青少年) about the dangers of drinking and driving. In her role as Miss Teen USA, Shelley will continue to speak to youth about safe driving，in addition to many other things to help the youth.

When AT asked Miss Teen USA if she had any advice for our readers, she said, “Don't let anyone change you. Hang out with people that make you feel good about yourself. That way，it is easy to be yourself.”

1.What do the underlined words “on cloud nine” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Frightened B. Troubled

C. Very happy D. Very angry

2.How many children did the Hennigs have according to the text?

A. 1. B. 2. C. 3. D. 4.

3.What did Shelley often do after she became Miss Louisiana Teen?

A. She visited drunken drivers.

B. She gave dance performances.

C. She made speeches on safe driving.

D. She helped other teens with their studies.

4.What suggestion does Shelley give to the teens?

A. Be yourself with the support of friends.

B. Meet friends whenever possible.

C. Go easy on yourself and others.

D. Have a good role model.

Have you had a headache during a test? Have you ever been so worried about something that you have a headache or even can’t sleep at night? If so, then you know what stress is. Stress is what you feel when you are worried about something. This worry in your mind can make your body feel bad. You may feel angry, sad, scared(恐懼的), or afraid—all of which can give you a stomach ache or a headache.

However, there are different kinds of stress. Some kinds of stress are good and others are bad. Good stress might happen when you’re called to answer questions in class or when you have to give a speech. This kind of stress can help you to get things better done. For example, you may do a better job in your test if the stress pushes you to prepare better before the test.

On the other hand, bad stress can happen if the stress lasts too long. You may not feel well if your parents are fighting, if a family member is sick, if you’re having problems at school, or if anything else makes you unhappy every day. That kind of stress isn’t going to help you. And it can actually make you sick.

The best way to face the stress is to have a balanced life. Make sure you keep yourself in mind: Sleep, exercise, leisure(休閑), and food. If you get enough sleep and eat healthily, and if you exercise and leave time for fun, you’ll probably(可能) feel less stressed.
