Y ou listen to their conversation: “I can’t believe it—Lorenzo Bertolla! They are almost impossible to find. Isn’t it beautiful? And it’s a lot cheaper than the one Sara bought in Rome.”They leave and you go over to see this incredible sweater. It’s nice a nd the price is right. You’ve never heard of the brand of Lorenzo Bertolla, but those girls looked really stylish. Their clothes follow the fashion. They must know. So, you buy it. You never realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agency. They are actually paid to go from store to store, talking loudly about Lorenzo Bertolla clothes to be heard by others.Every day we notice what people are wearing, driving and eating. If the person looks cool, the product seems cool, too. This is the secret of undercover marketing. Companies from Ford to Nike are starting to use it.Undercover marketing is important because it reaches people that don’t pay attention to traditional advertising. This is particularly true of the MTV generation-consumer s between the age of 18 and 34.It’s a golden group. They have a lot of money to spend, but they don’t trust ads.So advertising agencies hire young actors to “perform” in bars and other places where young adults go. Some people might call this practice mi sleading, but marketing executive Jonathan Ressler calls it creative. “Look at traditional advertising. Its effectiveness is decreasing.” It is true, becauseeveryone knows an ad is trying to persuade you to buy something. However, you don’t know when a co nversation you overhear is just a performance.（1）The two attractive young women were talking so as to __________.A . get the sweater at a lower priceB . be heard by people aroundC . be admired by other shoppersD . decide on buying the sweater（2）What is the meaning of the underlined word “stylish” in the passage?A . out of dateB . convenientC . ancientD . fashionable（3）What can we infer from the passage?A .

Undercover Marketing.D . Ways of Advertising.4. 阅读理解One of the simplest and the most effective forms of communication involves nothing more than the movement of facial muscles. What am I talking about? Smiling! Everyone understands what a smile means, and everyone also understands what a frown means. In fact, these two basic facial expressions can be recognized across countries, across the world and across the globe, regardless of the language spoken or the culture lived in.Moreover, hugs are so beautiful! When you give someone a hug or someone comes up and gives you a hug, this simple act of a hug can “speak” volumes about how much you care for the other person, how much love you want to share with the other person, how much you have missed the other person. This hug has so much to say, and yet there never has to be any words spoken.And, who needs to say the words “yes” or “no” when a movement of the head says the same thing. These basic examples show just how powerful body language can be. Just knowing how to read and use body language effectively, makes it really easy to see why it is not always a bad thing to be lost for words.Body language in the world of love is a very common thing and sometimes the only thing. And, most of the time, body language is the very first words “spoken” before any words are. The old saying is “love at first sight”, not “love at first word”. Across a crowded room, their eyes meet and linger, he winks at her, and she raises an eyebrow. The connection is made without any words needed. These displays of body language say it all.
