A car needs gas to run and your body also needs food to work for you. Eating the right kind of food is very
important. It can help your body grow strong to take care of what you eat ・
There are four main food groups altogether. The dairy group has food like milk, cheese and sour milk. The other
three groups are the meat and fish group, the fruit and vegetable group, and the bread and rice group. Each meal

ergy durj ng the day.
It is easy to get into bad eating habits ・ You may eat your breakfast in a hurry to get to school on time ・ Or you

You're in a department store and you see a couple of attractive young women looking at a sweater. You listen to
their dialogue:
"I can't believe it — Lorenzo Bertolla! They are almost impossible to find. Isn't it beautiful? And itzs a lot cheaper
than the one Sara bought in Rome/
They leave and you go over to see this unbelievable sweater. It's nice and the price is right ・ You've never heard
of Lorenzo Bertolla, but those girls looked really stylish(时髦白勺).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!ng, 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. Un dercover
marketing is imports nt because it reaches people that don't pay atte ntion to traditional advertisi ng. This is
particularly true of the MTV generation — consumers between the age of 18 and 34. It's a golden group. They have a
lot of money to spend, but they don't believe in ads ・
So advertising age ncies hire young actors to "perform "in bars and other places where young adults go. Some
people might call this practice mislead!ng, but market!ng executive Jonathan Ressler calls it creative ・"Look at traditi
onal advertisi ng. Its effective ness is decreasi ng." It is true, because every one knows an ad is trying to persuade you
to buy something. However; you don't know when a dialogue you overhear(偷听)is just a performance ・
60. The two attractive young women were talking so as to________ .
A. get the sweater at a lower price B ・ be heard by people around
C. be praised by other shoppers D. decide on buying the sweater
61. Lorenzo Bertolla is .
A. the bra nd n ame of clothes B. an advertisi ng age ncy

62. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Traditional advertising〃s effectiveness is increasing.
B. The MTV gen eration tends to believe all kinds of ads ・
C. Undercover marketing will surely be stopped soon by the government ・
D. That traditional advertising is too direct may lead to its decreasing effectiveness ・
63. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Two Attractive Shoppers. B ・ Lorenzo Bertolla Sweaters.
C. Undercover Marketing. D ・ How to buy things.
64. What do these four advertisements have in common?

In the computer age, most of us think a broadba nd(宽带)Inter net connection to be comm on. Whether wired
or wireless, today's connect!ons are many times faster. Videos play smoothly;complex websites load quickly;and the
files are much bigger too.
But there's still a catch, of course ・ You have to live near eno ugh to a major city to get broadba nd In ter net. If
you don't, ifs slow for you to use dial-up connect!on. And for those living really far out, there may be no Internet conn
ection at all.
Tech no logy experts ofte n talk about, the Hlast mile” problem, which refers to the difficulty of making In ter net
available for remote places. It is much more difficult to deliver conn ecti on to those living far from cities, especially in
developi ng coun tries. In ter net service providers for their part, have bee n un willing to provide conn ection to areas
with smaller populati on, where the In ter net users would rft cover the expe nse.
But every year, tech no logical adva nceme nts allow of more and more In ter net users ・ Most broadba nd conn
ections today run over existi ng cable TV and telepho ne lines although these tech no logies are n't available
everywhere. Some compa nies have delivered the In ter net over stan dard power lines. Advanceme nts in cheaper,
more effici ent fiber optics cables(光纤电缆)promise to bring extremely fast Internet conn ections to more users.
StilL the'last mile11 problem remains hard to deal with. There will always be somewhere that does n't have an
affordable broadband connection. But someday that might not matter. If the rapid progress in cell phone technology is
any in dicati on(i 峦象),it may not be too long before an In ter net connectio n simply follows you wherever you go.
67. What would be the best title for the text?
A ・ Rapid progress in cell phone tech no logy B. The 'last mile" problem
C. A broadband Internet connection D. The difficulty with Internet
68. The underlined part “a catch" (in Paragraph 2) probably means_______ .
A. a hidden problem B. a good service
C. a possible way D. a good challenge
69. From paragraph 4 we can lear n that tech no logical adva ncements______ .
A. bring faster In ter net conn ecti ons to users
B. bring great changes to people's everyday life
C. make TV and telephone available everywhere
D. make it possible for remote people to use the Internet
70. What may finally settle the"last mile" problem?
A. More and more In ter net users ・ B. The speed of the broadba nd Internet.
C. More and more In ter net conn ections ・ D. The rapid progress in cell phone technology ・

For the rest of March, a disease will sweep across the US. It will keep kids home from school. 71 Employees will

themselves ・ 75 About $ 4 billio n will be spe nt gambli ng on the eve nt. According to Media Life magazi ne,
