Historically, the term “fair trade” has meant many things. The Fair Trade League was  36   in Britain in 1881 to restrict  37  from foreign countries. In the United States, businesses and labor unions 38  “fair trade” laws to construct构建what economist Joseph Stiglitz calls “barriers to imports.” These so called “anti-dumping(反倾销)” laws allow a company that  39  a foreign one of selling a product below cost to request that the government charge收费special taxes to protect it from “unfair”  40  .
Such dark protectionist thoughts are far from the  41  of the organizers of the United Kingdom’s annual “Fairtrade Fortnight”. Their  42   aim is to raise the price paid to developing-country farmers for their 43  by cutting out the inflated profits虚抬利润of the middlemen on whom they  44  for getting their goods to distant markets. Fair-trade products  45  cocoa, coffee, tea, and bananas do not compete with domestic European production, and  46  do not have a protectionist motive(动机).
This is how it works: In  47  for being paid a guaranteed price and meeting “agreed labor and environmental standards” (minimum wages, no farm chemicals ), poor-country farming cooperatives(合作社) receive a FAIRTRADE mark for their products, given  48  by the FAIRTRADE Labeling Organization. This mark 49  supermarkets and other businesses to sell the products at a higher than  50   price . Third-world farmers get their income increased,  51  first-world consumers get to feel virtuous: a marriage made in heaven.
The fair-trade movement,  52  in the 1980’s, has been growing rapidly. In a significant breakthrough in 1997, the British House of Commons   53   to serve only fair-trade coffee. By the end of 2007, more than 600 producers’ organizations,   54  1.4 million farmers in 58 countries, were selling fair-trade products. Today, a quarter of all bananas in UK supermarkets are sold under a FAIRTRADE mark. But FAIRTRADE-labeled products still represent a very  55  share—typically less than 1%—of global sales of cocoa, tea, coffee, etc.

In just two months, the latest buzzword from the Internet, diaosi, has spread so much that it can be found everywhere—from online forums(论坛) to micro blogs. Many people even call themselves diaosi. It’s not the first time a term has gone popular on the Internet in China. However, why is the word so viral that is has become a cultural phenomenon? Here, we tell you something you want to know about it.
Where it began
The word originated in Baidu. Com’s Tieba (a top Chinese bulletin board system) of soccer player Li Yi. There, fans of Li, who are called yisi in Chinese, not only talk about soccer but complain about their lives, work and relationships. Yisi, who are known for their rude and dirty language, were given the name diaosi by others who have seen their posts.
What a “diaosi” is like
The word diaosi was coined first by single, young men who feel they have dead-end lives. Generally, men in this category don’t earn enough, are not good-looking, and have difficulty winning promotion(晋升). Unlike their upper-class contemporaries(同代人), they lack influential families, useful social networks for their careers, and most importantly, suitable women to marry. “I’m just a diaosi, poor and plain-looking. Who will marry me?” The sigh can be heard, which is half self-mockery(自嘲), half reality. Many young men call themselves diaosi because they feel they are among the lowest classes of the society.
“Diaosi” culture reflects social changes
According to Zhu Chongke, a professor in the School of Asia-Pacific Studies at Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, the popularity of this word diaosi stems from the fact that is was created by common people and thus resonates(共鸣) with a huge population. “Labeling yourself a diaosi offers a way for people to mock themselves and relieve pressure, hence it spread quickly,” he told Xinhua Agency. “The attitude is basically: ‘I already have little to lose, so why don’t I mock myself for gun?’.” The phenomenon reflects a larger social issues. These young people have no influential family background, no chances of receiving promotion at work or no economic strength to find a proper woman to marry. It reflects a deep sense of loss.
小题1:Diaosi refers to the ones with following features except      .
A.the ones who don’t earn much.
B.the ones who are not good-looking.
C.the ones who have difficulty winning promotion
D.the ones who have suitable people to marry.
小题2:The word “diaosi” is so popular because         .
A.It was used to describe the fans of soccer player Li Yi.
B.It was created by common people and resonates with a huge population.
C.It is new and interesting.
D.It helps people who are among the lowest classes mock themselves.
小题3:Which of the following is NOT true?
A.It’s not the first time a term like “diaosi” has gone popular on the Internet.
B.The name “diaosi” was given by those people who are among the lowest classes.
C.Many young people call themselves diaosi because they have a deep sense of loss.
D.Calling yourself diaosi can probably mock yourselves and release pressure.
小题4:The author’s attitude to diaosi is      .
A.positiveB.negativeC.neutral(中立的)D.indifferent

The day I became a mom was not the day my daughter was born, but seven years later. Up until that day, I had been too busy trying to survive my abusive(辱骂的) marriage. I had spent all my energy trying to run a "perfect" home that would pass inspection each evening, and I didn"t see that my baby girl had become a toddler. I"d tried endlessly to please someone who could never be pleased and suddenly realized that the years had slipped by and could never return. 
Oh, I had done the normal "motherly" things, like making sure my daughter got to ballet and gym lessons. I went to all of her recitals and school concerts, parent-teacher conferences and open houses alone. We suffered from my husband"s rages(暴怒) when something was spilled(溢出) at the dinner table, telling her, "It will be okay, Honey. Daddy"s not really mad at you." I did all I could to protect her from hearing the awful shouting and complaints after he returned from a night of drinking. Finally I did the best thing I could do for my daughter and myself: I removed us from the home that wasn"t really a home at all. 
That day I became a mom was the day when my daughter and I were sitting in our new home having a calm, quiet dinner just as I had always wanted for her. We were talking about what she had done in school and suddenly her little hand knocked over the full glass of chocolate milk by her plate. As I watched the white tablecloth and freshly painted white wall become dark brown, I looked at her small face. It was filled with fear, knowing what the consequence of the event would have meant only a week before in her father"s presence. When I saw that look on her face and looked at the chocolate milk running down the wall, I simply started laughing. I am sure she thought I was crazy, but then she must have realized that I was thinking, "It"s a good thing your father isn"t here!" She started laughing with me, and we laughed until we cried. They were tears of joy and peace and were the first of many tears that we cried together. That was the day we knew that we were going to be okay. 
Whenever either of us spills something, even now, seventeen years later, she says, "Remember the day I spilled the chocolate milk? I knew you had done the right thing for us." That was the day I really became a mom. I discovered that being a mom isn"t only going to ballet or gym, recitals, and attending every school concert and open house. It isn"t keeping a tidy house and preparing perfect meals. It certainly isn"t pretending things are normal when they are not. For me, being a mom started when I could laugh over spilled milk. 
---- By Linda Jones from “Chicken Soup for Soul”

To advertise effectively today, you must abandon the old-school idea of “reaching the masses”. All advertising is local and personal. The key to effective advertising today is to focus on the     45  .
Some are the     46   ways every advertiser could work out. You can print a specific offer of your goods or service on door-hangers and place them on doorknobs in your area. Door-hangers on doorknobs will produce results in direct     47   about the strength of your offer. If you need to reach the drivers, flyer (宣传单) under windshield (挡风玻璃) wipers may have better effect than door-hangers. Imagine, how     48   if you hire someone to be a walking ad or launch a T-shirt advertising,     49  , you can print your products on T-shirts of your     50  . In the early 1970s “Hamp Baker says Drive with Care” was spray-painted on cars, which was a public service ad. Ever since, spray-painted sign has become more and more    51  .
More grand ways are as follows: virtual showroom. Build a website to    52   a virtual showroom. Use it when people call to ask    53   about your company, your products or your services. Also you can even use an old slide projector to put on a nighttime show. They’re    54   effective, and in the long run, cheap. Nothing is quite as powerful as a public    55   that seizes the public’s attention. You can invite a band to give a performance.    56  , you can hire famous models to show it vividly.
Nothing screams “expert” quite as loudly as a book written about a subject. You simply can’t    57   the power of your name on the cover of a book. You might only sell a few copies online, but the copies you give away in your town will make you a fortune. You won’t make money on the book. You’ll make it because of the book.
Of course, word-of-mouth is the best way to promote your    58  . Friends and past customers recommend your products to their family, friends and colleagues. Word-of-mouth works because the    59    is based on previous positive experiences.

Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in his life, he might go home and write in his diary; now, a teenager with  26 problems might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog(博客).In many ways, a diary and a blog are very  27 .But what makes blogging different from writing in a(n) 28 diary?
The biggest difference is that a blog is much more   29  than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats his diary like a book full of   30  that he does not want to   31 with others.
It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog   32 a diary will probably write nearly the same information.
I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her   33 . She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test.  34 I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but   35 in my dairy. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was  36 that my sister might read it.
The biggest   37  with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something   38 about him in my diary, he would never know. 39  ,  if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend might   40 her blog and get angry.
There are also   41  to blogging, of course. If I was feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary, “ Nobody cares about me”, because no one would   42 about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would quickly   43  and tell her how much they  44  her. Blogs help people   45 in contact with their friends and know what the people around them are doing.
