You're in a department store and you see a couple of attractive young women looking at a sweater. You listen to their conversation:

"I can't believe it-a 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 and the price is right．You've never heard of Lorenzo Bertolla, but those girls look really stylish. 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 BertoHa clothes．

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－consumers between the age of 18 and 34．It is 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 misleading, but marketing executive Jonathan Ressler calls it creative．"Look at traditional advertising．Its effectiveness is decreasing．"

However, one might ask what exactly is "real" about young women pretending to be enthusiastic about a sweater? Advertising executives would say it's no less real than an ad．The difference is that you know an ad is trying to persuade you to buy something．You don't know when a conversation you overhear is just a performance．

T'he two attractive young women were talking so that they could_____．

A．get the sweater at a lower price     B．be heard by people around

C．be admired by other shoppers      D．decide on buying the sweater

Lorenzo Bertolla is ______．

A．a very popular male singer         B．an advertising agency

C．a clothing company in Rome       D．the brand name of a sweater

Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A．The two girls are in fact employed by the Lorenzo Bertolla Company．

B．The MTV generation tends to be more easily influenced by ads．

C．Traditional advertising is becoming less effective because it's too direct．

D．Undercover marketing will surely be banned soon by the government．

Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A．Two Attractive Shoppers           B．Lorenzo Bertolla Sweaters

C．Ways of Advertising              D．Undercover Marketing

As poets go, Robert Frost was no longer young when he published his first book of poems, A Boy's Will, in 1913. Though born in San Francisco, he came of a New England family which returned there when he was ten. Like many other writers, he had a brief brush with college and then supported himself by trying different jobs. However, he had been brought up on a farm and he liked farming. Most of all, he liked to write but he could not support himself by writing. In his late 30s he moved to England, where he produced his first book.

At the outbreak of World War I, Frost went back to farming in New Hampshire. Thereafter, although he made many journeys elsewhere, he considered the farm to be his home and its activities became the focus of his poetry.

Frost's verses(诗, 诗体) are a part of a great tradition, shaped by the Roman poet Vergil, whose poetry was mainly about farming. However, though he used farm situations in much of his poetry, he gave them a wide application. He might write about stepping on a rake(耙子) and describe the feeling when it hit him, but he used the incident to show how life gave us lessons.

Some talents in poetry are used up early, but not Frost's. He continued to publish fine poetry for fifty years. He reached the height of his popularity after World War II. If America had a national poet in the 20th century, it was Frost. He was chosen to read one of his poems at the inauguration（就职典礼）of the late President John F. Kennedy, the first poet ever so honored.

The __________ of Robert Frost

He felt that he didn’t deserve _______ such a great honor.

A. to give                         B. give               C. to be given           D. giving

You can take away _________ you like most.

   A. whatever      B. whichever    C. no matter what  D. no matter which

       A．An hour later             B．In an hour 

       C．After an hour             D．Another hour
