vacations,it can be a challenge to find time for learning.But kids" reading skills don"t have to grow cold
once school"s out.Here are some ways to make reading a natural part of their summer fun:
Explore your library.Visit your local library to check out books and magazines that your kids haven"t
seen before.Many libraries have summer reading programs,book clubs,and reading contests for even the
youngest borrowers.With a new library card,a child will feel extra grownup checking out books.
Read on the road.Going on a long car trip?Make sure the back seat is stocked with favorite reads.
When you"re not at the wheel,read the books aloud.Get some audiobooks (many libraries have large
selections) and listen to them together during driving time.
Make your own books.Pick one of your family"s favorite parts of summerwhether it"s baseball,ice
cream,or the pooland have your child draw pictures of it or cut out pictures from magazines.Stick the
pictures onto paper to make a booklet and write text for it.When you"re done,read the book together.
Reread it whenever you like!
Keep in touch.Kids don"t have to go away to write about summer vacation.Even if your family stays
home,they can send postcards to tell friends and relatives about their adventures.Ask a relative to be
your child"s pen pal and encourage them to write each week.
Keep up the reading habits.Even if everything else changes during the summer,keep up the reading
routines around your house.Read with your kids every daywhether it"s just before bedtime or under a
shady tree on a lazy afternoon.And don"t forget to take a book to the beach!Just brush the sand off the

If you are asked to chair a meeting, remember the following six golden rules for meeting management.
1. Always start the meeting on time. If you begin on time, group members who show up late will realize
the value of time. Beginning on time reflects the skill as an effective time manager and sets an example for
others to follow.
2. Select a note-taker or arrange to have the meeting audio-taped .You may need to refer back to an
issue that was discussed during the meeting at a later date. Good record-keeping is a sign of a good meeting manager as well.
3. Learn to listen. So many times we think we are going to say and, in the process, block out important
points that other group members may be contributing. Additionally, we often hear only what we want to hear, rather than really listen to other people. Meetings that are characterized by effective listening are successful
meetings.
4. Keep the discussion on track .Many times important issues can get sidetracked in a meeting, especially when everyone has a different opinion about the topic. If an unexpected conflict develops once the meeting
is in progress, either appoint a subcommittee to look into the problem, or ask the participants involved in the
conflict to meet with you after the meeting. Doing so will help keep the discussion on track and minimize (减少) the chances of wasting participants" time of great value.
5. Give everyone an opportunity to be heard .Some people tend to control meetings, whereas others
wait to be asked their opinions. As the leader of the meeting, you need to keep an open mind and make sure
everyone feels welcome to contribute and express ideas without criticism.
6. End on time. If you said the meeting would last no longer than one hour, make sure the meeting lasts
for only one hour. Running late with a meeting makes members late for other appointments, increases the
chances that the members will mentally leave the meeting and reduces your reliability as an effective meeting
manager.

a rapid distribution of goods at reasonable prices,thereby establishing a firm home market and so
making it possible to provide for export at competitive prices. By drawing attention to new ideas it
helps enormously to raise standards of living. By helping to increase demand it ensures an increased
need of many services: Without advertisements your daily newspaper would cost four times as much,
the price of your television license would need to be doubled,and travel by bus or tube would cost
more.
And perhaps most important of all,advertising provides a guarantee of reasonable value in the
products and services you buy. Apart from the fact the twenty-seven Acts of Parliament govern the
terms of advertising,no regular advertiser dare promote a product that fails to live up to the promise
of his advertisements. He might fool some people for a little while through misleading advertising. He
will not do so for long,for mercifully the public has the good sense not to buy the inferior article more
than once. If you see an article consistently advertised, it is the surest proof I know that the article
does what is claimed for it, and that it represents good value.
Advertising does more for the material benefit of the community than any other force I can think
of.
There is one more point I feel I ought to touch on. Recently I heard a well-known television
personality declare that he was against advertising because it persuades rather than informs. He
was drawing excessively fine distinctions. Of course advertising seeks to persuade.
If its message were confined merely to information-and that in itself would be difficult if not
impossible to achieve, for even a detail such as the choice of the colour of a shirt is subtly
persuasive-advertising would be so boring that no one would pay any attention. But perhaps that is
what the well-known television personality wants.
B. everybody knows well that advertising is money consuming
C. advertising costs money like everything else
D. it is worthwhile to spend money on advertising
B. Providing more jobs.
C. Enhancing living standards.
D. Reducing newspaper cost.
B interested in nothing but the buyer"s attention
C. correct in telling the difference between persuasion and information
D. obviously partial in his views on advertising
B. advertising informs people of new ideas rather than wins them over
C. there is nothing wrong with advertising in persuading the buyer
D. the buyer is not interested in getting information from an advertisement
B. Positive.
C. Ridiculous.
D. Not stated.
society, our family, the education we receive and so on. Once this value system is set up, it"s not easy to
change later in life. Financial experts say that every one also has their own belief of how to manage their
money. According to our different values, experts put us in three categories. They are: the ant, the cricket
and the snail.
◆The ant - works first
Just like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people don"t
care about enjoying the moment. They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy
life when they get old and retire. The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks(股票) with low risk.
◆The cricket - fun first
The cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn"t think too much about the future. They even
borrow money when they really want something. Many young people now belong to this group. These
people have little savings. When they get old, they might have problems. They should learn to save and buy insurance(保险).
◆The snail - lives under pressure
The snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves. They take big long-term loans(贷款)
from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury houses. They are happy to take big loans even though
they are not sure they can afford it. This can cause problems in the future. They should plan more carefully.
B. be his beliefs about society
C. determine his family and education
D. influence his behavior
Moreover, he spends money in a very luxurious way. So, _____.
B. Mr. Smith belongs to the cricket type
C. Mr. Smith belongs to the snail type
D. it"s hard to tell which kind of person Mr. Smith is
B. the cricket
C. the snail
D. none of them
B. What Comes First
C. How to Understand Your Values
D. Work and Fun
Shoppers seldom complain to the manager or owner of retail store, but instead will alert their friends, relatives, co-workers, strangers and anyone who will listen.
Store managers are often the last to hear complaints, and often find out only when their regular customers decide to frequent their competitors, according to a study jointly conducted by Verde group and Wharton school.
"Storytelling hurts retailers and entertains consumers." Said Paula Courtney, president of the Verde group. "The store loses the customer, but the shopper must also find a replacement."
On average, every unhappy customer will complain to at least four other, and will no longer visit the specific store for every dissatisfied customer, a store will lose up to three more due to negative reviews. The
resulting "snowball effect" can be disastrous to retailers.
According to the research, shoppers who purchased clothing encountered the most problems. Ranked second and third were grocery and electronics customers.
The most common complaints include filled parking lots, cluttered(塞满了的) shelves, overloaded racks, out-of-stock items, long check-out lines, and rude salespeople.
During peak shopping hours, some retailers solved the parking problems by getting moonlighting local police to work as parking attendants. Some hired flag wavers to direct customers to empty peaking spaces. This guidance got rid of the need for customers to circle the parking lot endlessly, and avoided confrontation between those eyeing the same parking space.
Retailers can relieve the headaches by redesigning store layouts, pre-stocking sales items, hiring speedy and experienced cashiers, and having sales representatives on hand to answer questions. Most importantly, salespeople should be diplomatic and polite with angry customers.
"Retailers who"re responsive and friendly are more likely to smooth over issues than those who aren"t
so friendly." Said professor Stephen Hoch. "Maybe something as simple as a greeter at the store entrance would help."
Customers can also improve future shopping experiences by filing complaints to the retailer, instead of
complaining to the rest of the world. Retailers are hard-pressed to improve when they have no idea what is wrong.
B. Customers would rather relate their unhappy experiences to people around them.
C. Customers have no easy access to store managers.
D. Most customers won"t bother to complain even if they have had unhappy experiences.
B. won"t have trouble parking their cars
C. can stay longer browsing in the store
D. won"t have any worries about security
B. Hiring of efficient employees.
C. Manners of the salespeople.
D. Huge supply of goods for sale.
B. shop around and make comparisons between stores
C. settle their disputes with stores in a diplomatic way
D. put pressure on stores to improve their service
阅读下面的短文,并根据要求答题。(请注意问题后的字数要求)。
【1】It seems like everyone has a blog these clays. To make it a popular website,there are a few
general guidelines you should follow to increase your chances of success.
【2】Write about what you know,and stick to one topic for a while. If you write without checking
facts or with no experience behind your articles. people won"t believe it and won"t come back to
your site. Similarly,if you write about too many different topics,you won"t be able to build up an
audience of readers as easily.
【3】The first thing students are taught as early as grade school about evaluating websites is that
if there are a bunch of grammatical errors,the website probably isn"t credible(可信的).This means
that you need to check every single post you write before you put it up on your site. It"s a good idea
to write something,leave it sit for a while,and then come back to read it over before you post it. This
gives you flesh eyes to catch mistakes.
【4】Keeping a schedule of posts can help you not disappoint your readers,because they will start
to come back to your site regularly to see what"s new. It"s a good idea to set a goal for yourself and
keep it,which is important to keep your readers coming back for more.
【5】Knowing how search engines like Google or Bing find your site can help your posts show up
higher on Internet searches and,therefore,get you more clicks to your site.
【6】Websites now are so advanced in their graphic design that the way a website looks can point
to its credibility just as much as being error-free. Choose a clean theme for your blog,the easier the
site is to read,_________.
