Classified advertising is that advertising which is grouped in certain sections of the paper and is thus distinguished from display advertising. Such groupings as “Help Wanted”, “Real Estate”, “Lost and Found” are made,the rate charged being less than for display advertising. Classified advertisements are a convenience to the reader and a saving to the advertiser.
The reader who is interested in a particular kind of advertisement finds all advertisements of that type grouped for him. The advertisers may, on this account, use a very small advertisement if it were placed among larger advertisements in the paper. It is evident that the reader approaches the classified advertisement in a different frame of mind from that in
which he approaches the other advertisements in the paper. He turns to a page of classified advertisements to search for the particular advertisement that will meet his needs. As his attention is voluntary, the advertiser does not need to rely too much extent on display type to get the reader’s attention. Formerly all classified advertisements were of the same size and did not have display type. With the increase in the number of such advertisements, however, each advertiser within a certain group is c ompeting with others in the same group for the reader’s attention. In many cases, the result has been an increase in the size of the space used and the addition of headlines and pictures. In that way, the classified advertisement has in reality advertisement.

Psychologists take opposing views of how external rewards, from warm praise to old cash, affect motivation and creativity. Behaviorists, who study the relation between actions and, argue
that rewards can improve performance at work and school. Some other researchers who study various aspects of mental life, maintain those rewards often destroy creativity by encouraging dependence on approval and gifts from others.
The latter view has gained many supporters, especially among educators. But the careful use of small monetary rewards sparks in grade-school children suggesting that properly presented inducements indeed aid inventiveness, according to a study in the June Journal Personality and Social Psychology.
“If they know they're working for a reward and can focus on a relatively challenging task, they show the most creativity,” says Robert Esenberger of the University of Delaware in Newark. “But it's easy to kill creativity by giving rewards for poor performance or creating too much anticipation for rewards.”
A teacher who continually draws attention to rewards or who hands out high grades for ordinary achievement ends up with uninspired students, Esenberger holds. As an example of the latter point, he notes growing efforts at major universities to tighten grading standards and restore falling grades.
In earlier grades, the use of so-called token economics, in which students handle challenging problems and receive performance-based points toward valued rewards, shows promise in raising effort and creativity, the Delaware psychologist claims.
28. Psychologists are divided with regard to their attitudes toward _________.
A. the choice between spiritual encouragement and monetary rewards
B. the appropriate amount of external rewards
C. the study of relationship between actions and
D. the effects of external rewards on students' performance
29. What is the view held by many educators concerning external rewards for students?
A. They approve of external rewards.
B. They don't think external rewards.
C. They have doubts about external rewards.
D. They believe external rewards can motivate small children, but not college students.
to the result of the study mentioned in the passage, what should educators do to stimulate motivation and creativity?
A. Give rewards for performances which deserve them.
B. Always promise rewards.
C. Assign tasks which are not very challenging.
D. Be more lenient to students when mistakes are made.
31. It can be infe rred from the passage that major universities are trying to tighten their grading standards because they believe ______________.
A. rewarding poor performance may kill the creativity of students’
B. punishment is more effective than rewarding
C. failing uninspired students helps improve their overall academic standards
D. discouraging the students anticipation for easy rewards is matter of urgency
D
When a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to the manufacturer's claims, the first step is to present the warranty, or any other records which might help, at the store of purchase. In most cases, this action will produce results. However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satsatisfaction.
A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In gen eral, the “higher up” his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be s ettled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer's favor, assuming he or she has a just claim.
Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.
Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, “The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of t he right one is unclear” is better than “This stereo does not work”. The store manager may advice the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and firmly as possible. If a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go to a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumer's rights.
32. When a consumer finds that his or her in it, the first thing he or she should do is to _________.
A. complain personally to the manager
B. threaten to take the matter to court
C. write a firm letter of complaint to the store of purchase
D. show some written proof of the purchase to the store
33. How can a consumer make his or her complaint more effective, according to the passage?
A. Explain exactly what is wrong with the item.
B. Threaten to take the seller to court.
C. Make polite and general statements about the problem.
D. Avoid having direct contact with the store manager.
to the passage, which of the following is suggested as the last alternative that consumers may turn to?
A. Complain to the store manager in person.
B. Complain to the manufacturer.
C. Write a complaint letter to the manager.
D. Turn to the Consumers’ Rights Protection Organization for help.
phrase “live up to” in this context means _____________.
A. meet the standard of
B. realize the purpose of
C. fulfill the demands of
D. keep the promise of

Why do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume rich food, continue to stay thin? Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers concluded that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. _____________36___________________.
According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, ______________37__________________. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that _______________38_________________. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers’markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables,
and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.
After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Don’t Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. _____________39______________.
In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity —or extreme overweight —among adults is only 6%. However, ______________40________________, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17% — and is growing.
A. while Frenchmen see eating as something enjoyable
B. while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily
activities
C. as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions
D. Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the
week
E. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.
F. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite
TV show is over
G. Today she continues to stay fat and usually goes to the gym.

（Tex t 8）
In the 13th century, the famous Italian traveler ,Marco Polo, traveled a long way to China. During his stay in China, he saw many wonderful things. One of the things he discovered was that the Chinese used paper money. In western countries, people did not use paper money until the 15th century. However, people in China began to use paper money in the 7th century. A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2,000 years ago. He made it from wood. He took the wood from trees and make it into paper. He then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book. Now paper still comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth. If there are no trees, there will be no paper. It is reported that people throw away about 2,800 tons of paper only in Shanghai every day. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that they are cutting nearly 48,000 trees every day. Since it takes more than ten years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper now. If we don’t, we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper.
