Open today’s newspaper. What do you see? Ads! Look through a magazine. More ads! Turn on TV, still more ads! Everywhere you look, someone has something to tell. Here are some ways ads get us to buy.
Some ads use famous people. Stars are paid to sell a product. Think about it. Do they really know about medicine? Do they know about soft drink? These people may be famous. But they may not know about what they are selling.
Some ads make you think you’re getting the word of an expert(专家). They say, “Doctor said.” A man in a white coat comes on TV. He looks nice. “I use Bright and White,” he says. This man looks like a doctor. But he is an actor. He has been paid to sell this product.
Does soap have anything to do with a pretty child? Not much. But ads may show their product with something nice such as the sun, the flowers and so on. Such an ad is about feelings rather than facts. Ads are full of strong words. Words like “new” and “improved” have power（威力）. They can help a product sell. The soap may be called “Spring Rain.” A car may be called “Tiger”. Strong words work on our feelings. Some ads make promise（承诺）. But can they keep them? No. Some ads use our fear of being too late. “Buy now!” they say. “Selling ends soon.” Check to see if this is true. Don’t hurry. Take time to think. All ads hope we will buy something, do something, or think in a certain way. Know what ads are doing. Ask questions to yourself. Don’t let their words and pictures fool you.
56. We can see ads . A. on TV B. in magazines C. in newspapers D. all the above 57. Some ads use stars because .
A. they know every product well

A. Three B. Four C. Five D. Six 60. Why do ads use the words like “Buy now” “Selling ends soon”? A. Because they hope people will like the products. B. Because the products sell well.
C. Because it will be late if people don’t buy the products at once.

April 22 is Earth Day. Everyone on earth should care about and protect the earth!
The earth has warmed by about 1℉(华氏度)over the past 100 years, but why and how? Well, scientists are not quite sure. Maybe the earth gets warmer and warmer on its own. But many scientists say that people are doing many things which makes the earth warmer.
First, greenhouse effect(温室效应) is a very important reason for the change of the earth. People give out too much energy into the air every year. It makes the earth warmer. Climate(气候) change is another important reason. Sometimes it becomes too little. The change of the climate makes the earth warmer. In turn, the warmth of the earth changes a climate, too.
When the earth becomes warmed, there may be more rain and a rise in sea level. It will affect(影响) the growth of plants, animals and people. On a Pacific island, 100 people have to move to higher ground because the sea is rising. These people can no longer live on the coast(海岸). Before that, two islands without people went underwater in 1999, scientists say that the seas can rise by nearly one meter by 2100.
People can affect the earth’s air, land and water. As for us, we can do many things to protect the earth. For example, we can use fridges less. We can tell more people about protecting the earth. 61. Earth Day is probably set for people to ______________.
A. learn more about the earth B. make full use of the earth C. take better care of the earth D. study the warmth of the earth 62. How many reasons are there for the warmer earth ? __________. A. One B. Two C. three D. four 63. Greenhouse effect comes from __________.
