Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work. He used to carry a nice         to work with him so that he could change if his clothes got wrinkled (皺的). “I’m working harder than ever,” David says, “       I need to feel comfortable.” More and more companies are          their office workers to wear casual clothes (便裝) to work. They thought the casual clothes could         their work. In the early 1990s, the workers in American companies could wear casual clothes on Friday (but only on Friday).This became known         “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”. Why have so many companies done like that? One reason is that it’s         for a company to hire (雇傭) new workers if it has a casual dress style. “A lot of young people don’t want to         for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so it’s hard to hire people if you make a         for their dressing.” Another reason is that people work         when they are wearing comfortable clothes. Supporters of casual office wear also say that a casual dress style helps them         money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said, “for the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”

Goog morning, Ladies and gentleman. My topic is “________”.
Now in the 21st century, advertising is more and more important for people. Why? I think it is because through advertising, people, especially the businessmen, can introduce their products to the people all over the world. Because of this, many companies spend a lot of money on advertising. As we all know, there are many advertisements which are very interesting and popular. For example, Michael Jordan made an interesting advertisement for Nike. From this you can see how the companies make their products known to the world.
People can make a lot of money through advertising. It is known that many famous singers and movie stars make money in this way. However, I don’t think this is a good way for them to make money, because they are not the professional advertisers, especially those who advertise in medicine advertisements.
Nowadays, advertising not only means making the products known, but also means make ourselves known to people around us. Living today, we have to make people believe in us if we want to do important jobs. But how can this be done? We should first let other people know our good side: the good habits and abilities we have. In short, we should always remember to advertise ourselves to others. As I said before, advertising is not only important for companies but also for everyone, for all human beings. This is the most interesting thing about advertising.
小題1:The best topic to fill in the line in the first paragraph is “___________”.    
A．The Importance of Advertising
B．Making Money through Advertising
C．Advertising Ourselves
D．Advice on Advertisements
小題2:This passage may be a (an) ____________.
A．a(chǎn)dvertisementB．storyC．speechD．report
小題3:According to the passage, which of the following is not right?
A．Many companies are willing to spend money on advertising.
B．Advertising can make some people rich.
C．People can introduce their products through advertisements.
D．Advertising in not necessary for anyone.

The more books you read, the better your life will be. If you don’t believe me, please consider the following reasons to read more books.

You will have strong brain power .Studies suggest reading makes you smart. Unlike watching television, which requires no thought process（過程）, reading is an active learning experience that will keep your mind sharp (even in old age). 　　
You will travel to a new world .　Sometimes our daily life can start to get boring . At times like this, I like to dive into a good fiction book, where I can forget about whatever problems are stressing me out. I’ll come back refreshed after my mini-vacation to a fresh and exciting place in the world of words. 　　
You will improve your vocabulary .　The more words you’re able to use, the better you will become at expressing your thoughts and feelings. I couldn’t imagine how I would write articles like this if I didn’t actively aim to improve my vocabulary, because using the same few words to express myself would get awfully boring in a hurry. 　
You will entertain yourself at a low price .If you’re looking for entertainment without much money, reading is your best choice. Thanks to the popularity of electronic reading devices(設(shè)備), it’s never been easier to entertain yourself for hours at a time, for the low cost of a few dollars.
You will discover surprising new ideas.　　Reading introduced me to concepts （概念）like mindful eating, relaxation exercises, and the importance of loving yourself. If I didn’t read, I wouldn’t realize these ideas. If you don’t read, you will miss many surprising new ideas.　　
You will become an expert（專家） in your field .　Don’t you think reading articles and books by experts in your field might make you better at what you do? If you don’t learn more about your profession, then your lack of passion could be a sign that you’re in the wrong field. 　　
I firmly believe that reading has changed my life . I hope these reasons can encourage you to read more books.

Tips for avoiding traffic jams:
The radio has more than just music. Check the local news station for the latest traffic report. Or go online and check traffic cameras before you set out. If there is a jam, you'll be prepared and can try another route.
Take the road less traveled. Although highways may be the most direct route, back (偏僻的) roads can be much less crowded, which can save you from the frustration of the stop-and-go traffic.
Rush hour isn't just a lovely nickname. It means the morning and afternoon traffic lasts for several hours, but they're still called "rush hour" for a reason - everyone's on the road and in a hurry to get somewhere. Treat rush hour like bad weather - if you don't have to go anywhere, stay off the roads.
Tips for those unavoidable traffic jams:
Don't break the law. You've gone 30 feet in 30 minutes and all of a sudden you see people using the shoulders（緊急停車道）． Don't behave like them. Not only is this illegal, but also there's a good  chance they'll get caught or cause even more problems.
Pay extra attention to zig-zaggers (Z字形行進(jìn)者). When some people are anxious, they may start changing lanes（車道）every 5 seconds or cut you off, Keep checking your windows and mirrors. for these lane changers.
Look for an escape. If it is possible to exit the road safely, do it. Use a GPS unit, and you can change your route mid-trip if needed.
Be courteous. Good manners could help you avoid a possible accident. Allow people in from a lane that is ending. Speeding up to keep them out increases your chances of an accident.
小題1:To avoid traffic jams,we are advised to do the following EXCEPT_______.
A．get traffic news before leaving
B．choose back roads.
C．a(chǎn)void rush hours.
D．change lanes frequently.
小題2:What should we do when there are zig-zaggers?
A．Keep checking the mirrors
B．Stop and let them go first
C．Sound the hom loudly.
D．Drive quickly to keep them out
小題3:What does the underlined word “courteous”in the last paragraph mean?
A．EnergeticB．PoliteC．CarefulD．Honest
小題4:In which part of a magazine can this passage be found?
A．EntertainmentB．MarketC．LifeD．Advertisement
