1．First of all，an advertisement has to be powerful and attract people's attention.You need a strong image （形象） that is eye-catching，a catchy slogan，a joke or something shockjye.aig.In advertising we talk about the AIDA method.A is for attention.I is for interest.D is for desire （渴望）.A is for action.An ad needs to do more than just get our attention.It also has to be effective.It must get us interested，make us want the product and motivate us to go out and buy it.
—Michael Hamilton，advertising executive Advertising has changed over the years.Adverts are no longer just informative and focused on the product.Many of the adverts that we see today are short stories telling inspirational tales that are often amusing，humorous and highly-developed.People do not want to remember that life can be boring.They want to see something original and creative.The adverts take away the ordinariness of everyday life and take us to somewhere unusual or romantic （浪漫的）.
—Miranda Hoyles，head of a US advertising agency
Many people talk about advertisements that are exciting and interesting.But for me，an immediately recognisable logo （標(biāo)識(shí)） is really important.Good logos have been built up so they are recognisable.Part of what makes a good advert is a clear symbol that people immediately identify with the company.A good slogan also helps you make a connection.The real thing makes you think of Coca-Cola immediately.It's also important to ensure that your slogan does not end up bothering（煩擾） everyone.

2．Floyd Norman，81，was just 20 years old in 1956 when Walt Disney Studios employed him.He was the first African-American artist to be employed by the company. "It wasn't something he set out to do as a goal，" Erik Sharkey said.Sharkey is a codirector of the documentary Floyd Norman：An Animated Life. "It sort of happened by his pursuing（追求） the thing that he loved."
Norman's first assignment was on Sleeping Beauty.He drew the characters positions that made them appear to move.A few years later，he helped bring the animated sequences（連續(xù)鏡頭）in Mary Poppins to life.
While at the studio，Norman liked to create gag（詼諧）drawings that he would post around the office.His coworkers，including Walt Disney，appreciated the humor.Disney assigned Norman a job on The Jungle Book.Norman drew the "Trust in Me sequence，in which Kaa，the snake，hypnotizes（迷惑）the boy，Mowgli.It was cool to be in that room with Walt - as long as he didn't spot you.He might ask you a question，" Norman says in the documentary， "I thought he was always going to ask me：What are you doing here？"
In 1966，Norman left Disney to start Vignette Films with three friends.They made educational movies，including a series devoted to black history.But Norman never stopped drawing.He worked on Scooby-Doo，Jonny Quest，and Josie and the Pussycats.He also drew a Mickey Mouse comic strip（連環(huán)漫畫）for Disney.In 1997，he joined Pixar to work on Toy Story 2.

3．The desire for ivory products causes the killing of an elephant，but as their populations continue to fall，the hungry black market has become creative to satisfy its greed.Now，ivory hunters are setting their sights on everything.One victim of this cruel practice is the hippopotamus（河馬）.A new study says that arise in demand for hippopotamus's teeth is threatening them with extinction.
In many ways，it takes a lot of effort to kill an elephant.They are legally well protected in most countries where they range and international regulations are clear.Also，smuggling（走私）large pieces of ivory internationally is easily noticed.Hippos offer a cheaper and easier ivory option.The simple truth is that they are not high on the priority list of the international conservation community.A group of wild-living African elephants will either be tracked with radio collars（項(xiàng)圈） or will be the focus of long-term conservation research，ecotourism or law-enforcement efforts.Not so with hippos.Unlike their famous cousins，they don't come with a protective environment，meaning hunters can take their time.
Most elephant populations are listed under the highest level （Appendix I） of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora，but hippos are listed under Appendix Ⅱ of it，meaning some trade impossible.We have created a situation where some hippos can be shot，but we have few effective ways to regulate the trade，leaving it wide open to abuse.
Having lived in Africa and worked in frontline conservation，I have seen the first-hand that in the name of art，no ivory-bearing animal is safe.I have heard the stories and seen the bodies of hippos killed by machine-gun fire，mouths open，bloody and toothless.People are working to stop this and many wildlife authorities do what they can，but until there is a real change in the demand for ivory，the hippo has joined the elephant in being in desperate need of our help.
（1）What does the new study find？
A．Black marketers are hunting other animals for ivory.
B．Hippos face extinction due to ivory demand.
C．The number of elephants is decreasing.
D．Ivory demand is rising.
（2）What's the current condition of hippos？
A．They wear radio collars.
B．They are the targets of ecotourism.
C．They live in a less protective environment.
D．They are well protected by clear international regulations.
（3）Paragraph 3 is developed mainly.
A．by process
B．by analyses
C．by statistics
D．by comparison
（4）What's the main solution to the problem in the text according to the author？
A．Law enforcement.
B．The efforts of authorities.
C．Raising public awareness.
D．Reducing the demand for ivory組卷：0引用：3難度：0.5 -
4．According to a recent study，laughter and joy may not be unique to humans.Ancestral forms of play and laughter existed in other animals long before they did in humans.Jaak Panksepp，a professor of psychobiology at Washington State University and the author of the study，says， "Human laughter has deep roots in our animal past."
While humans are the only creatures that tell jokes，it has long been suspected that some animals like to laugh.In 1872，Charles Darwin pointed out that "very many kinds of monkeys，when pleased，make a sound，clearly analogous to our laughter." In an experiment Panksepp had performed earlier，he found that when chimpanzees （黑猩猩） play，they make noises strikingly like human laughter，and that dogs have a similar response.
Panksepp notes that children who are too young to laugh at jokes are likely to laugh during noisy plays.Panksepp found that when young rats （老鼠） are playing，they also make sounds - they chirp （發(fā)唧唧聲），although people can't hear them.These chirps are far too high for humans to hear.Researchers must use special electronic receivers that change the chirps to sounds that humans can hear.
In studying laughter，scientists have focused mostly on related issues - humor，personality，health benefits，social theory - rather than laughter itself.New research，however，shows that circuits （電路） for laughter exist in very ancient parts of the human brain.The ability to laugh appears early in childhood，as anyone who has seen a baby laugh knows.
Some scientists say that other mammals，just like humans，have many feelings. "The recognition by neuroscientists that the brain mechanisms （機(jī)制） causing pain，pleasure and fear are the same in humans and other mammals shows our similarity to other species and extremely important." said Tecumseh Fitch，a psychology lecturer at the University of St Andrews in Scotland.Science has traditionally held that humour is only a human quality，and many scientists believe that more research is required before rats' chirping sounds can be considered real laughter.Panksepp believes that，through a study of laughter in rats，the human sense of humour can be more fully understood.
（1）What is the finding of the recent study？
A．Animals can also play jokes on others.
B．Animals can hardly express happiness.
C．Human laughter has its origin in animal sounds.
D．Humans actually developed from ancient animals.
（2）What does the underlined word "analogous" in Paragraph 2 mean？
A．Similar.
B．Special.
C．Familiar.
D．Important.
（3）What can be learned about rats' chirps？
A．They are beyond human hearing range.
B．They sound like young kids' sounds.
C．They are made during rats' fighting.
D．They may affect human feelings.
（4）What can we infer from the last paragraph？
A．Mammals have a particularly sensitive brain area.
B．Humans have fully understood animals' behaviours.
C．People and animals share some emotional responses.
D．Rats' chirps and human laughter are basically the same.組卷：0引用：3難度：0.5 -
5．Time is on your side How frequently do you say "I don't have time"？Quite often，I guess．Every time we say those words，they make us feel weak and out of control．You are in control of your hours and your life． （1）
I know it's not as easy as simply turning off the TV．But here are two steps that will help you take back control and get time on your side．
★（2）
Be honest：do you spend an hour or two visiting WeiXin and QQ every day？Are you spending time with people that you don't really like just to please them？Are there meetings you attend that you can politely to refuse？
It's time to get real about the hours that add up to a lot of dissatisfying nothing．Think how you can cancel daily activities that are not useful．（3）
★ Change your language．
Words matter．They have power．Saying "I don't have time" is an excuse for not wanting to do something．Here are some good empowering alternatives：
"I choose not to start that project until next year．"
"（4）"
"I'd love to go out this weekend but have important work I need to do first．"
Get better at saying no．（5）Use little pockets of time （friend running late，car stuck in traffic，meeting ending 10 minutes early） to do some productive thinking．All these things can add up over time more than you believe!
A．Identity your blocks．
B．But you are likely wasting a lot of it!
C．I really don't have enough time to do it．
D．Replace them with things that satisfy you．
E．Take no notice of all those unimportant messages on your phone．
F．I'd love to read that book - I'll get to it after my homework is complete!
G．When you don't have a plan for your life，someone else will plan it for you．組卷：9引用：6難度：0.7
