No one knows for sure when advertising first started. It is possible that it grew out of
the discovery that some people did certain kinds of work better than others did them.
That led to the concept of specialization, which means that people would specialize,
or focus, on doing one specific job.
Let’s take a man we’ll call Mr. Fielder, for example. He did everything connected
with farming. He planted seeds, tended the fields, and harvested and sold his crops. At
the same time, he did many other jobs on the farm. However, he didn’t make the
bricks for his house, grind the wheat for his flour, or cut his trees into boards. He also
did not make the plows(犁), or any of the other hundreds of things a farm needs.
Instead, he got them from people who specialized in doing each of those things.

Suppose there was another man we shall call Mr. Plowright. Using what he knew
about farming and working with iron, Mr. Plowright invented a plow that made
farming easier. Mr. Plowright did not really like farming himself and wanted to
specialize in making really good plows. Perhaps, he thought, other farmers will
trade what they grow for one of my plows.
How did Mr. Plowright let people know what he was doing? Why, he advertised, of
course. First he opened a shop and then he put up a sign outside the shop to attract
customers. That sign may have been no more than a plow carved into a piece of wood
and a simple arrow pointing to the shop door. It was probably all the information
people needed to find Mr. Plowright and his really good plows.
Many historians believe that the first outdoor signs were used about five thousand
years ago. Even before most people could read, they understood such signs.
Shopkeepers would carve into stone, clay, or wood symbols for the products they had
for sale.
A medium, in advertising talk, is the way you communicate your message. You might
say that the first medium used in advertising was signs with symbols. The second
medium was audio, or sound, although that term is not used exactly in the way we use
it today. Originally, just the human voice and maybe some kind of simple instrument,
such as a bell, were used to get people’s attention.
A crier, in the historical sense, is not someone who weeps easily. It is someone,
probably a man, with a voice loud enough to be heard over the other noises of a city.
In ancient Egypt, shopkeepers might hire such a person to spread the news about their
products. Often this primitive form of advertising involved a newly arrived ship
loaded with goods. Perhaps the crier described the goods, explained where they came
from, and praised their quality. His job was, in other words, not too different from a
TV or radio commercial in today’s world.
probably led to the start of advertisement?
A. The discovery of iron. B. The specialization of labor.
C. The appearance of new jobs. D. The development of farming techniques.
42. To advertise his plows, Mr. Plowright .
A. praised his plows in public B. placed a sign outside the shop
C. hung an arrow pointing to the shop D. showed his products to the customers
43. The writer makes up the two stories of Mr. Fielder and Mr. Plowright in order
to .
A. explain the origin of advertising B. predict the future of advertising
C. expose problems in advertising D. provide suggestions for advertising
44. In ancient Egypt, a crier was probably someone who .
A. owned a ship B. had the loudest voice
C. ran a shop selling goods to farmers D. functioned like today’s TV or radio
commercial
45. The last two paragraphs are mainly about .
A. the history of advertising B. the benefits of advertising
C. the early forms of advertising D. the basic design of advertising

Below is a selection from a popular science book.
If blood is red, why are veins（静脉） blue?
Actually, veins are not blue at all. They are more of a clear, yellowish color. Although
blood looks red when it’s outside the body, when it’s sitting in the vein near the
surface of the skin, it’s more of a dark reddish purple color. At the right depth, these
blood-filled veins reflect less red light than the surrounding skin, making them look
blue by comparison.
Which works harder, you heart or your brain?
That kind of question depends on whether you’re busy thinking or busy exercising.
Your heart works up to three times harder during exercise, and shifts enough blood
over a lifetime to fill a supertanker. But in the long run, your brain probably tips it,
because even when you’re sitting still your brain is using twice as much energy as
your heart, and it takes four to five times as much blood to feed it.
Why do teeth fall out, and why don’t they grow back in grown-ups?
Baby (or “milk”) teeth do not last long; they fall out to make bigger room for bigger,
stronger adult teeth later on. Adult teeth fall out when they become damaged, decayed
and infected by bacteria. Once this second set of teeth has grown in, you’re done.
When they’re gone, they are gone. This is because nature figures you’re set for life,
and what controls regrowth of your teeth switches off.
Do old people shrink as they age?
Yes and no. Many people do get shorter as they age. But, when they do, it isn’t
because they’re shrinking all over. They lose height as their spine（脊柱） becomes
shorter and more curved due to disuse and the effect of gravity(重力). Many (but not
all) men and women do lose height as they get older. Men lose an average of 3-4 cm
in height as they age, while women may lose 5 cm or more. If you live to be 200 years
old, would you keep shrinking till you were, like 60 cm tall, like a little boy again? No,
because old people don’t really shrink! It is not that they are growing backwards -----
their legs, arms and backbones getting shorter. When they do get shorter, it’s because
the spine has shortened a little. Or, more often, become more bent and curved.
Why does spinning make you dizzy（眩晕的）?
Because your brain gets confused between what you’re seeing and what you’re
feeling. The brain senses that you’re spinning using special
gravity-and- motion-sensing organs in your inner ear, which work together with your
eyes to keep your vision balance stable. But when you suddenly stop spinning the
system goes out of control, and your brain thinks you’re moving while you’re not.
Where do feelings and emotions come from?
Mostly from an ancient part of the brain called the limbic system. All mammals have
this brain area ----- from mice to dogs, cats, and humans. So all mammals feel basic
emotions like fear, pain and pleasure. But since human feelings also involve other,
newer bits of the brain, we feel 5


more complex emotions than any other animal on this planet.
If exercise wears you out, how can it be good for you?
Because our bodies adapt to everything we do to them. And as far as your body is
concerned, it’s “use it, or lose it”! It’s not that exercise makes you healthy, it’s more
that a lack of exercise leaves your body weak and easily affected by disease.
46. What is the color of blood in a vein near the surface of the skin?
A. Blue B. Light yellow C. Red D. Dark reddish purple
47. Why do some old people look a little shrunken as they age?
A. Because their spine is in active use. B. Because they are more easily affected
by gravity.
C. Because they keep growing backwards. D. Because their spine becomes more
bent.
48. Which of the following statements about our brain is true?
A. In the long run, our brain probably works harder than our heart.
B. When our brain senses the spinning, we will feel dizzy.
C. The brains of the other mammals are as complex as those of humans.
D. Our feelings and emotions come from the most developed area in our brain.
49. What is the main purpose of the selection?
A. To give advice on how to stay healthy.
B. To provide information about our body.
C. To challenge new findings in medical research.
D. To report the latest discoveries in medical science.

The baby monkey is much more developed at birth than the human baby. Almost from
the moment it is born, the baby monkey can move around and hold tightly to its
mother. During the first few days of its life the baby will approach and hold onto
almost any large, warm, and soft object in its environment, particularly if that object
also gives it milk. After a week or so, however, the baby monkey begins to avoid
newcomers and focuses its attentions on “mother” ---- the real mother or the
mother- substitute(母亲替代物）.
During the first two weeks of its warmth is perhaps the most important psychological
（心理的） thing that a monkey mother has to give to its baby. The Harlows, a couple
who are both psychologists, discovered this fact by offering baby monkeys a choice of
two types of mother-substitutes ---- one covered with cloth and one made of bare wire.
