Your only goal in advertising is to show enough gold to get people to want to be a prospect (期望). Forget about selling them anything.Then how do you show them the gold? Keys to effective advertising are as follows.Talk to one person, and call his / her name.On a crowded Manhattan street, elbow-to-elbow with a sea of people, I still heard someone speak in a conversational voice “Mark.” I turned my head around. Of course he was talking to someone else, but it still caught my attention.You need to speak to one person, and call his / her name. In marketing, the next best thing to a personal name is your Who and What. For example, “Golfers” = who “have knee pain affecting their swing?” = what.Educate them in a helpful way.If you have room, take the time to explain one point that will help them with the problem they are facing. For smaller ads you can just point them towards a web page where you want to educate them about something helpful.For instance, “Most pain is actually caused by stress. Stopping the stress means decreasing or stopping the pain. Right now, just notice your knee pain. See if you can notice where your legs and hips feel tense, and breathe into the tension. As it relaxes, see how the pain feels.” If you have more space, you can go into more details.Offer a trade: their contact information for something valuable.“Of course, your knee pain isnt gone pletely. This is just a clue. If youd like a free article with illustrations on how to decrease knee pain and help your swing, just leave your contact information and you will be given an additional golf swing tip every week.” You can just follow this example.Finally, dont ignore design.Keep it simple. In a loud, overcrowded world, simplicity and straightforwardness have the best chance of being noticed. Use plenty of white space, easy-to-read front (字体), and avoid plicated patterns.Besides, you can try Robin Williams (not THAT Robin Williams) book, The Non-Designers Design Book, Maybe you can learn something from it.Have fun with your advertising!56. Which of the following is a tip for advertising successfully?A. Call ones name whenever meeting with someone.B. Keep in mind that advertising is first journey marketing.C. Pay attention to design and keep it plicated if possible.D. Educate your potential customers about something helpful.57. How do you understand the underlined sentence in the passage?A. The golfers knee was hurt and he cant play golf any more.B. The golfer cant swing because of the knee pain and he needs treatment.C. The golfers knee pain was caused by stress and we should help him stop the stress.D. The golfer cant play golf any more and well speak to him and offer him some tips.BFantasy literature is fantasy in written form. Historically speaking, the majority of fantasy works have been literature. Since the 1950s however, a growing part of the fantasy genre (流派) has taken the form of video games, music, painting, and the like. It is difficult to define the precise “beginning” of fantasy literature, as stories involving magic and terrible monsters have existed since time immemorial. On the whole, the genre, as a distinct type, began to bee visible in the Victorian times, in the works of writers such as William Morris, Lord Dunsany and George Macdonald.Some mentators declared that the South African-born, English professor of philology, J. R. R. Tolkien, was influential to the mass-popularization of the fantasy genre, with his hugely successful publications The Hobbit, and The Lord of the Rings. Tolkien himself, though, was largely informed by an ancient body of Anglo-Saxon myths particularly Beowulf but it was after his work that the genre began to receive the name, “fantasy”. J. R. R. Tolkiens close friend C.S. Lewis, author of the The Chronicles of Narnia, also an English professor interested in similar themes, was also connected with popularizing the mercial success of the fantasy genre.Outstanding authors in the genre who undertook popular fantasy works after Tolkiens The Lord of The Rings phenomenon of the 1950s and 1960s appeared quickly. In recent years, the rate of female-to-male authors in a typically-stocked bookstore has skyrocketed, with female authors surpassing the volume of the male ones.Fantasy has been famous from other forms of literature by its style. The fantasy world requires, like any genre, appropriate language, arid that language can vary. In various forms of fairytale fantasy, even the villains (坏人) language would be inappropriate if vulgar (粗俗的). Famous fantasy author Raymond E. Feist considered his genre to be one where “ordinary people” were placed in extraordinary situations, and writing about what would happen.58. How many fantasy writers are mentioned in this passage?A. Five.B. Six.C. Seven.D. Eight.59. The underlined word “skyrocketed” in the third paragraph means .A. rise rapidly and suddenlyB. drop rapidly and suddenlyC. rise slowly and steadilyD. drop slowly and steadily60. This passage is mainly about .A. the background of fantasy literature B. some famous works about fantasy literatureC. the origin and its popularity of fantasy literature D. some outstanding authors of fantasy literatureCHold your smart phone, smile at the front camera, and click! You get a selfie. There is no doubt that this photo is yours. But if a monkey takes a selfie, does the camera owner have the right to decide how to use it?Recently, this question has caused a problem between Wikimedia Foundation, a non-profit organization, and British wildlife photographer David J. Slater.In xx, Slater was visiting a park in Indonesia when a macaque (猕猴) got hold of one of his cameras. “They were quite naughty, jumping all over my equipment,” Slater told The Telegraph, “and it looked like they were already posing for the camera when one hit the button.” The result was hundreds of monkey selfies. The best of images was a female macaque grinning toothily into the lens.This week, the grinning monkey selfie returned to the news when Wikimedia refused Slaters request to take the photos down from Wikimedia mons, a website that is run by the organization and offers free images.According to Wikimedia, anyone who downloads the monkey selfie, or any of the millions of images on the site, can copy and use any works here freely as long as they follow what the author says. The question that arose here was whether Slater, who had not held the camera, set up the shot, of pressed the shutter (快门), could be considered the photographer of the monkey selfie. Wikimedias position on this was clear: as the work of a non-human animal, this photo has no human author who owns the copyright.Only authors of creative works, like a piece of writing or a song, own copyrights. In terms of photos, US copyright law says whoever pushes the button on the camera owns the copyright to the image produced, which means that if tourists ask you to take a photo of them, and you happen to hit the shutter button at the exact moment that Justin Bieber, a Canadian singer, made faces behind them, you, as the photographer, would have the photos copyright and sell it. The tourists, who own the camera on which the photo was taken and asked you to take the photo dont get the right to use it without you allowing them to. All this has been plicated by the appearance of surveillance cameras (监控摄像头), smart phones, and large scale photography projects (批量摄影项目) for which assistants often press the shutter button to produce works whose copyrights belong to their boss.Slater seems to be thinking along these lines. He says that buying the cameras, spending thousands of pounds to transport himself to Indonesia, and allowing the monkeys to “steal” his cameras make him the author of the image, regardless of who pushed the button. “In law, if I have an assistant then I still own the copyright, he told the “Today” Show. “I believe in this case, the monkey was my assistant.”But if one is to believe his own telling of the monkey stealing his camera, Slater didnt ask the monkeys to take the selfies and finally took the camera away.If that seems unfair, think about this. If a person left her laptop in a cafe, and a poet picked it up, opened up a word-processing program, and typed out a poem which turned out to be the best poem of this generation, could she ask for much more than her laptop back?61. The monkey selfie, taken in xx, returned to the spotlight because .A. Slater allowed people to download the photo for freeB. Slater allowed Wikimedia mons to download the photo free of chargeC. Wikimedia mons refused to pay Slater any money for the photo on the websiteD. Wikimedia mons refused to take the photo down from the website despite Slaters request62. According to US copyright law, who might Wikimedia think owned the copyright of monkey photo?A. Slater.B. Wikimedia.C. The monkey.D. No one.63. The author mentioned Justin Bieber and some special cases to show that .A. whoever pressed the button would have the photos copyright in any casesB. only the famous singer would have the copyright to have the image producedC. only the owner of the camera would have the copyright of the photo even if he didnt take itD. whoever pushed the button would have the copyright but in some special cases things were different64. From the last paragraph we know that the author .A. supports WikimediaB. doesnt show his attitude at allC. shows great sympathy to SlaterD. agrees with neither Wikimedia nor SlaterDHow well prepared would the person be if he were to call on a prospective customer for us? As I see it, there are four keys to getting hired.Prepare to win. “If you miss one day of practice, you notice the difference,” the saying goes among musicians. “If you miss two days of practice, the critics notice the difference. If you miss three days of practice, the audience notice the difference.”The Michael Jordans of the world have talent, yes, but theyre also the first ones on and the last ones off the basketball court. The same preparation applies in every form of human endeavor.You wont get every job you go after. The best salespeople dont close every sale. Michael1 Jordan makes barely half of his field-goal attempts. But it takes no longer to prepare well for one interview than to wander in half-prepared for five. And your, prospects for success will be many times better.Never stop learning. Recently I played a doubles tennis match paired with a 90-year-old. I wondered how things would
