[1] Like many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: _________?

[2] Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people.

[3] A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame. Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltage transformers, heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.

[4] The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom do they serve? What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant?

[5] Heroes are catalysts (催化劑) for change. They have a vision from the mountaintop. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., we might still have segregated (實(shí)行種族隔離的)buses, restaurants, and parks. It may be possible for great change to occur without leaders with attractive personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the future uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.

What is the connection between violence and sports? Psychologists say that there are many reasons for violence at sports events. One is alcohol. Many fans drink a lot at games. When people drink, they are more likely to do abnormal things. Psychologist Dennis Brock says, "Quiet people become loud. Normally nonviolent people become destructive."

David Sampson, a sports sociologist, agrees, "These are often celebratory riots -- a large number of very happy people mixed in with large amounts of alcohol. They don't often seem dangerous in the beginning, but things get violent quickly."

Another reason for violence at sports events is the crowd itself. When individuals are in a large group of people, they can lose their sense of personal responsibility. Edward Hirt, a social Psychologist, says that research shows that people do things in crowds that they would never do alone. People in crowds feel anonymous--no one knows who they are. Crowds also make people feel powerful. They stop making personal decisions. They just follow the crowd. Social psychologists call this a "mob mentality."

Dave Zarifis, head of public safety at Northern Iowa University says, "Some people don't even come to celebrate. They want to drink hard and make trouble. Someone does something stupid, and it grows from there. You get a mob mentality. People think it's OK to do almost anything. There are so many of us and not enough of them."

Social psychologist Dr. Sharon Kennedy says that there are a few things officials can do to prevent violence. Making sure that an area is not overcrowded is very important. Officials should also think of games as “big parties.” Then they will prepare differently. Kennedy says that in Great Britain they are controlling the problem with cameras in all the stadiums. "When you know someone is watching, you are much less likely to behave badly."

A "secret" message, unseen for almost 150 years and making the start of the U.S. Civil War (1861-1865), has been uncovered in Abraham Lincoln's gold pocket watch, U.S. media reported on Wednesday.

"Lincoln never knew of the message he carried in his pocket," Brent D. Glass, director of the National Museum of American History said in a statement.

The message, which was engraved by an Irish immigrant and watchmaker named Jonathan Dillon, is dated April 13, 1861, and reads in part: "Fort Sumpter [sic] was attacked by the rebels" and "thank God we have a government."

"It's a personal side of history about an ordinary watchman being inspired to record something for posterity," Glass said.

The museum decided to open the watch after being contacted by the watchmaker's great-great-grandson, Doug Stiles, who had received a letter from a relative in Ireland. It said that the family had found a letter Dillon had written about the purported (據(jù)說的) message in the watch.

Then Stiles, a 57 -year-old real estate lawyer in Waukegan, Illinois, searched on the Internet and found a New York Times article from 1906, where Dillon told the story at the age of 84.

During the interview, Dillon said that he unscrewed the dial of the watch and wrote on the metal as soon as he heard the news about the first shot of the Civil War. "The first gun is fired. Slavery is dead. Thank God we have a President who at least will try."

However, the actual message that the museum found is different from what Dillon recalled. It reads, "Jonathan Dillon, April 13－1861, Fort Sumpter [sic] was attacked by the rebels on the above date J Dillon, April 13 -1861, Washington, thank God we have a government, Jonth Dillon."

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 looked 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 deceptive, 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 two young women pretending to be enthusiastic about a sweater? Adverting 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.

56．The 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

A．a(chǎn) very popular male singer                   B．a(chǎn)n advertising agency

58．The underlined word "real" in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _________.

A．honest                B．true                    C．false                   D．a(chǎn)rtificial

59．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 tend 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.

60．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

Much meaning can be conveyed with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.

Do you have such kind of  36  ? In a bus you may look at a   37  , but not too long. And if he is  38   that he is being stared at, he may feel  39  .

The same is in  40   life. If you are looked at for more than  41  , you will look at yourself up and down, to see ff there is  42   wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward other's  43  at you that way.

Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and  44  . But things are different when it 45   to stare at the opposite sex. If a man glances at a Woman for more than 10 seconds and _46  to avert (移開) his gaze, his intentions are  47  , that is, he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is  48   her.

49  , the normal eye contact for two people   50   in a conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener   51   , in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking about, to tell him that he is attentive. If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking,   52  he tries to dominate (控制) you, you will feel embarrassing.

In fact, continuous eye contact is confined to   53   only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to show affection that   54   cannot express.

Evidently, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific   55
