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 youre getting the word of an expert. 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, and words like new and improved have power. They can help a produce sell. The soap may be called Spring Rain. A car may be called Tiger. Strong words work on our feelings.Some ads make promise. 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. Dont 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.

Luckily, you dont have to sign up for classes to learn how to enhance(加强) your SQ. Here are some simple steps that can lead you to this new level of understanding:Sit Quietly. The step of developing SQ begins in solitude （独处） and silence. To tune in to its whisper, you have to keep away from your busy, noisy, complicated life and make yourself do nothing at all. At home, for example, shut the door of your bedroom, take a few deep breaths and let them out very, very slowly.Step Outside. For many people, nature makes their spirit free. Go outside to watch a beautiful sunset. Follow the flight of a bird; watch clouds floating overhead.Find An Activity You Enjoy. Its important to find a hobby that helps you tune in to your spirit. Garden, walk or jog, arrange flowers, listen to music that touches your soul.Ask Questions Of Yourself. Some people use their thoughtful time to focus on scriptures (经文). Others ask open-ended (无确定答案的) questions, such as “What am I feeling? What are my choices?”But dont expect an answer to arrive through some super-natural form of e-mail. Later that day youll suddenly find yourself thinking about a problem from a perspective (角度) you never considered before.Trust Your Spirit. While most of us rely on gut feelings (直觉) to warn us of danger, SQ usually nudges （渐渐推动） us, not away from, but toward some action that will lead to a greater good.（1）To enhance your SQ, you should first _.A . stand loneliness and silenceB . make your life simpler and less busyC . give up the daily things in your lifeD . listen more to your whisper（2）The underlined phrase “tune in to your spirit” in the fifth paragraph probably means _.A . get your spirit relaxedB . keep up your spiritC . listen to your spiritD . change your spirit（3）What will happen after people ask questions of themselves?A . People will lead to a greater good.B . People will think about a problem in a different way.C . People will expect answers through e-mails.D . People will keep away from their busy life.（4）What is the best title for the passage?A . Advantages and disadvantages of SQB . The relationship between your SQ and youC . What SQ is and in what ways it can be improvedD . What SQ is and in what ways you can make your life easier5. （8分） There was once a farmer. He lived near a road.
