听力原文:W: Excuse me, I can't remember what it's called, but I'm looking for a kind of ha
rd candy that is supposed to relieve my cold. Do you carry it?

M: There are many, but I' m not sure exactly what you are looking for. All our hard candy Is In aisle 3. There are some herbal throat drops and breath mints by the register as you check out. But it sounds like what you' re talking about is in our pharmacy on your right.

W: Well, it' s not a breath mint or a regular hard candy. It came out pretty recently. If you' re coming down with a cold, and you take it, it keeps it away. And if you have a cold, it' s supposed to make it go away. I saw the ad on TV the other day. A big man with a red coat was on the ad.

What is the situation?

A.The woman is helping the man find a certain kind of candy.

B.The man is recommending a cold medicine to the woman.

C.The woman is looking for a candy that helps relieve colds.

Whenever advertisers want you to stop thinking about the product and to start thinking abo
ut something bigger, better, or more attractive than the product, they use that very popular word "like". The word "like" is the advertiser’s equivalent of the magician’s use of misdirection. "Like" gets you to ignore the product and concentrate on the claim the advertiser is making about it. "For skin like peaches and cream" claims the ad for a skin cream. What is this ad really claiming? It doesn’t say this cream will give you peaches-and-cream skin. There is no verb in this claim, so it doesn’t even mention using the product. How is skin ever like "peaches and cream" ? Remember, ads must be read exactly according to the dictionary definition of words. This ad is making absolutely no promise for this skin cream. If you think this cream will give you soft, smooth, and youthful-looking skin, you are the one who has read the meaning into the ad.

The wine that claims "It’s like taking a trip to France" wants you to think about a romantic evening in Paris as you walk along the street after a wonderful meal in an intimate cart. Of course, you don’t really believe that a wine can take you to France, but the goal of the ad is to get you to think pleasant, romantic thoughts about France and not about how the wine tastes or how expensive it may be. That little word "like" has taken you away from crushed grapes into a world of your own imaginative making. Who knows, maybe the next time you buy wine, you'll think those pleasant thoughts when you see this brand of wine, and you'll buy it.

How about the most famous "like" claim of all, "Winston tastes good like a cigarette should"? Ignoring the grammatical error here, you might want to know what this claim is saying. Whether a cigarette tastes good or bad is a subjective judgment because what tastes good to one per son may well taste horrible to another. There are many people who say that all cigarettes taste terrible, other people who say only some cigarettes taste all right, and still others who say all cigarettes taste good.

The word "like" in an ad often focuses the consumer’s attention on ______.

A.what the advertiser says about the product

B.what magic the product really possesses

C.why the advertiser promotes the product

D.why the product is as good as promised

第10题
There are various ways in which individual economic units can interact with one another. T
hree basic ways may be described as the market system, the administered system and the traditional sys tem.

In a market system individual economic units are free to interact among each other in the market place. It is possible to buy commodities from other economic units or sell commodities to them. In a market, transactions may take place via barter or money exchange. In a barter economy, real goods such as automobiles, shoes, and pizzas are traded against each other. Obviously, finding somebody who wants to trade my old car in exchange for a sailboat may not always be an easy task. Hence, the introduction of money as a medium of exchange eases transactions considerably. In the modern mar ket economy, goods and services are bought or sold for money.

An alternative to the market system is administrative control by some agency over all transactions. This agency will issue edicts or commands as to how much of each goods and service should be produced, exchanged, and consumed by each economic unit. Central planning may be one way of ad ministering such an economy. The central plan, drawn up by the government, Shows the amounts of each commodity produced by the various firms and allocated to different households for consumption. This is an example of complete planning of production, consumption, and exchange for the whole economy.

In a traditional society, production and consumption patterns are governed by tradition: parent age, religion, and custom fix every person' s place within the economic system. Transactions take place on the basis of tradition, too. People belonging to a certain group or caste may have an obligation to care for other persons, provide them with food and shelter, care for their health, and provide for their education. Clearly, in a system where every decision is made on the basis of tradition alone, progress may be difficult to achieve. A stagnant society may result.

What is the main purpose of the passage?

A.To outline contrasting types of economic systems.

B.To explain the science of economics.

C.To argue for the superiority of one economic system.

D.To compare barter and money-exchange markets.
