| I stopped to watch my little girl busy playing in her room. In one hand was a plastic 1 ; in the other a toy broom. I listened as she was speaking to her make-believe little friend and I'll never forget the words she said, even 2 it was a pretense. She said, "Suzie's in the corner because she's not been very 3 . She didn't listen to a 4 I said or do the things she should." In the corner I saw her baby doll all dressed in lace and pink. It was 5 she'd been put there to sit alone and 6 . My daughter 7 her"conversation", as I sat down on the floor. She said,"I'm all fed up. I just don't know what to do with her any more. She cries whenever I have to work and wants to play games, too. She never 8 me do the things that I just have to do. She tries to help me with the dishes, but her arms just cannot 9 . And she doesn't know 10 to fold towels. I don't have the 11 to teach. I have a lot of work to do and a big house to keep clean. I don't have the time to sit and play- 12 what I mean?" And that day I thought a lot about making some 13 in my life, as I listened to her 14 words that cut me like a knife. I hadn't been paying enough attention to what I hold most 15 .

| It came as something of a surprise when Diana, Princess of Wales, made a trip to Angola in 1997, to support the Red Cross campaign for a total ban on all anti-personnel landmines. Within hours of arriving in Angola, television screens around the world were filled with images of her comforting victims injured in explosions caused by landmines. "I knew the statistics," she said."But putting a face to those figures brought the reality home to me; like when I met Sandra, a 13- year-old girl who had lost her leg, and people like her." The Princess concluded with a simple message:"We must stop landmines". And she used every opportunity during her visit to repeat this message. But, back in London, her views were not shared by some members of the British government, which refused to support a ban on these weapons. Angry politicians launched an attack on the Princess in the press. They described her as"very ill-informed" and a"loose cannon". (乱放炮的人) The Princess responded by brushing aside the criticisms:"This is a distraction (干扰) we do not need. All I'm trying to do is help." Opposition parties, the media and the public immediately voiced their support for the Princess. To make matters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the Princess's trip had been approved by the Foreign Office, and that she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the British government's policy regarding landmines. The result was a severe embarrassment for the government. To try and limit the damage, the Foreign Secretary, Malcolm Rifkidnd, claimed that the Princess's views on landmines were not very different from government policy, and that it was "working towards" a worldwide ban. The Defence Secretary, Michael Portillo, claimed the matter was "a misinterpretation or misunderstanding." For the Princess, the trip to this war-torn country was an excellent opportunity to use her popularity to show the world how much destruction and suffering landmines can cause. She said that the experience had also given her the chance to get closer to people and their problems. |
| 1. Princess Diana paid a visit to Angola in 1997 _______. |
| A. to clarify the British governments stand on landmines B. to establish her image as a friend of landmine victims 1 C. to investigate the sufferings of landmine victims there D. to voice her support for a total ban of landmines |
| 2. Some members of the British government criticized Diana because _______. |
| A. she had not consulted the government before the visit B. she was ill-informed of the governments policy C. they were actually opposed to banning landmines D. they believed that she had misinterpreted the situation in Angola |
| 3. How did Diana respond to the criticisms? |
| A. She paid no attention to them B. She made more appearances on TV. C. She met the 13-year-old girl as planned D. She rose to argue with her opponents |
| 4. What did Princess Diana think of her visit to Angola? |
| A. It had caused embarrassment to the British government. B. It had greatly promoted her popularity. C. It had brought her closer to the ordinary people. D. It had affected her relations with the British government. |

| We can see how the product life cycle works by looking at the introduction of instant coffee. When it was introduced, most people did not like it as well as "regular" coffee, and it took several years to gain general acceptance (introduction stage). At one point, though, instant coffee grew rapidly in popularity, and many brands were introduced (stage of rapid growth). After a while, people became attached to one brand and sales leveled off (stage of maturity). Sales went into a slight decline when freeze-dried coffees were introduced (stage of decline). The importance of the product life cycle to marketers is this: Different stages in the product life cycle call for different strategies. The goal is to extend product life so that sales and profits do not decline. One strategy is called market modification. It means that marketing managers look for new users and market sections. Did you know, for example, that the backpacks that so many students carry today were originally designed for the military? Market modification also means searching for increased usage among present customers or going for a different market, such as senior citizens. A marketer may re-position the product to appeal to new market sections. Another product extension strategy is called product modification. It involves changing product quality, features, or style to attract new users or more usage from present users. American auto manufacturers are using quality improvement as one way to recapture world markets. Note, also, how auto manufacturers once changed styles dramatically from year to year to keep demand from falling. |
| 1. According to the passage, when people grow fond of one particular brand of a product, its sales will _____. |
| A. decrease gradually B. remain at the same level C. become unstable D. improve enormously |

| A. work out marketing policies B. promote its production C. increase its popularity D. speed up its life cycle |
| 3. The author mentions the example of "backpacks" in paragraph two to show the importance of _____. |
| A. pleasing the young as well as the old B. increasing usage among students C. exploring new market sections D. serving both military and civil needs |
| 4. In order to recover their share of the world market, U.S. auto makers are _____. |
| A. improving product quality B. increasing product features C. modernizing product style D. re-positioning their product in the market |

| Two hours from the tall buildings of Manhattan and Philadelphia live some of the world's largest black bears. They are in northern Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains, a home they share with an abundance of other wildlife. The streams, lakes, meadows, mountain ridges and forests that make the Poconos an ideal place for black bears,have also attracted more people to the region. Open spaces are threatened by plans for housing estates and important habitats are endangered by highway construction. To protect the Poconos' natural beauty from irresponsible development, the Nature Conservancy (大自然保护协会) named the area one of America's "Last Great Places" Operating out of a century-old schoolhouse in the village of Long Pond, Pennsylvania, the conservancy's bud Cook is working with local people and business leaders to balance economic growth with environmental protection. By forging partnerships with people like Francis Altemose, the Conservancy has been able to protect more than 14,000 acres of environmentally important land in the area. Altemose's family has farmed in the Pocono area for generations. Two years ago Francis worked with the Conservancy to include his farm in a county farmland protection program. As a result, his family's land can be protected from development and the Altemoses will be better able to provide a secure financial future for their 7-year-old grandson. Cook attributes the Conservancy's success in the Poconos to having a local presence and a commitment to working with local residents "The key to protecting these remarkable lands is connecting with the local community," Cook said. "The people who live there respect the land. They value quite forests, clear streams and abundant wildlife. They are eager to help with conservation effort. For more information on how you can help The Nature Conservancy protect the Poconos and the world's other"Last Great Places," please call 1-888-564 6864, or visit us on the World Wide Web at www.tnc.org. |

| Every fall, like clockwork, Linda Krentz of Beaverton, Oregon, felt her brain go on strike. "I just couldn't get going in the morning," she says. "I'd get depressed and gain 10 pounds every winter and lose them again in the spring." Then she read about seasonal affective disorder, a form of depression that occurs in fall and winter, and she saw the light literally. Every morning now she turns on a specially constructed light box for half an hour and sits in front of it to trick her brain into thinking it's still enjoying those long summer days. It seems to work. Krentz is not alone. Scientists estimate that 10 million Americans suffer from seasonal depression and 25 million more develop milder versions. But there's never been definitive proof that treatment with very bright lights makes a difference. After all, it's hard to do a double-blind test when the subjects can see for themselves whether or not the light is on. That's why nobody has ever separated the real effects of light therapy from placebo (安慰剂) effects. Until now, in three separate studies published last month, researchers report not only that light therapy works better than a placebo but that treatment is usually more effective in the early morning than in the evening. In two of the groups, the placebo problem was resolved by telling patients they were comparing light boxes to a new anti-depressant device that gives off negatively charged ions (离子). The third used the timing of light therapy as the control. Why does light therapy work? No one really knows."Our research suggests it has something to do with shifting the body's internal clock," says psychiatrist Dr. Lewey. The body is programmed to start the day with sunrise, he explains, and this gets later as the days get shorter. But why such subtle shifts make some people depressed and not others is a mystery. That hasn't stopped thousands of winter depressives from trying to heal themselves. Light boxes for that purpose are available without a doctor's prescription. That bothers psychologist Michael Terman of Columbia University. He is worried that the boxes may be tried by patients who suffer from mental illness that can't be treated with light. Terman has developed a questionnaire to help determine whether expert care is needed. In any event, you should choose a reputable manufacturer. Whatever product you use should give off only visible light, because ultraviolet light damages the eyes. If you are photosensitive (对光敏感的), you may develop a rash. Otherwise, the main drawback is having to sit in front of the light for 30 to 60 minutes in the morning. That's an inconvenience many winter depressives can live with. |
| 1. What is the probable cause of Krentz's problem? |
| A. An unexpected gain in body weight. B. Unexplained impairment of her nervous system. C. Weakening of her eyesight with the setting in of winter. D. Poor adjustment of her body clock to seasonal changes. |
| 2. What is the CURRENT view concerning the treatment of seasonal depression with bright lights? |
| A. Its effect remains to be seen. B. It serves as a kind of placebo. C. It proves to be an effective therapy. D. It hardly produces any effects. |
| 3. What is psychologist Michael Terman's major concern? |
| A. Winter depressives will be addicted to using light boxes. B. No mental patients would bother to consult psychiatrists. C. Bad light boxes will give off harmful ultraviolet lights. D. Light therapy could be misused by certain mental patients. |
| 4. Which of the following statements is TRUE? |
| A. Winter depressives prefer light therapy in spite of its inconvenience. B. Light therapy increases the patient's photosensitivity. C. Eye damage is a side effect of light therapy. D. Light boxes can be programmed to correspond to shifts in the body clock. |
