It is possible that it grew out of the discovery that some people did certain kinds of work better than o
22、thers did them. That led to the concept of specialization, which means that people would specialize, or focus, on doing one specific job. Lets take a man well call Mr. Fielder, for example. He did everything connected with farming. He planted seeds, tended the fields, and harvested and sold his crop
23、s. At the same time, he did many other jobs on the farm. However, he didnt 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), the work boots, or any of the other hundreds of things a farm needs. Instead, he got them from peo
24、ple 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
25、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 ha
26、ve 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
27、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 symb
28、ols. 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 peoples attention. A crier, in the historical sense, is not someone who weeps eas
29、ily. 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
30、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 todays world. 41.What probably led to the start of advertisement? A. The discovery of iron. B. The specialization of labor. C. The
31、 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.
32、 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 . 45. A. owned a ship B. had the loudest voice C. ran a s
33、hop selling goods to farmers D. functioned like todays 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 B Below is a selection from a popular science
34、 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 its outside the body, when its sitting in the vein near the surface of the skin, its more of a dark reddish purple color. At the right depth,
35、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 depends on whether youre busy thinking or busy exercising. Your heart works up to three times harder during exercise, and shifts e
36、nough blood over a lifetime to fill a supertanker. But in the long run, your brain probably tips it, because even when youre 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 dont they grow b
37、ack 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 our when they become damaged, decayed and infected by bacteria. Once this second set of teeth has grown in, youre done. When theyre gone, they are
38、gone. This is because nature figures youre 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 isnt because theyre shrinking all over. They lose height as their spine(脊柱) beco
39、mes 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 and 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
40、, like 60 cm tall, like a little boy again? No, because old people dont really shrink! It is not that they are growing backwards - their legs, arms and backbones getting shorter. When they do get shorter, its because the spine has shortened a little. Or, more often, become more bent and curved. Why
41、does spinning make you dizzy(眩晕的)? Because your brain gets confused between what youre seeing and what youre feeling. The brain senses that youre 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 whe
42、n you suddenly stop spinning the system goes out of control, and your brain thinks youre moving while youre 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
43、 mammals feel basic emotions like fear, pain and pleasure. But since human feelings also involve other, newer bits of the brain, we feel 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
44、them. And as far as your body is concerned, its “use it, or lose it”! Its not that exercise makes you healthy, its 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
45、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
46、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. 4
47、9. 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. C 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 approa
