Guest review

Sara P. 09/23/2019

My family and I went to Punta Senca for a week and it was fine. But just that——fine. I really was expecting something a little more special.

And I really was unimpressed by the food.

22、Winter is often bitterly cold, which often makes us stay indoors more instead of heading out to exercise. Worse still, there are many viruses doing their best to make you sick. And sneezing, coughing and nose blowing make the rooms a habitat for viruses. 【1】. Touching a doorknob or shaking a hand may make you get sick. Although it may sound terrible, there are still some things you can do to avoid viruses. Here are several simple tips to stay healthy in winters.

Wash your hands

You pick up viruses everywhere and they live on your hands, so wash your hands and do it often. 【2】 But if that’s not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer (消毒杀菌剂).

【3】. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with your hands. That’s one way viruses can get into your body.

Get the flu shot (疫苗)

【4】, but getting the flu shot lowers your chances of getting the flu. For example, getting the flu shot last year resulted in a 34% lower risk of coming down with the flu.

Avoid sick people

【5】. Viruses spread very easily through the air, so keep at least six feet between you and the sneezing, sniffling and coughing person.

A．It’s no guarantee

B．Take care of your face

C．Keep your hands away from your face

D．The best way is to use regular soap and water

E．It is easy for viruses to spread from person to person

F．If someone around you is sick, then keep your distance

G．Because there are always some unexpected things in life

23、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, cut his trees into boards, make the plows (犁), or any of 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 earliest 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.

【1】What 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.

【2】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

【3】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

【4】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

【5】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

24、Dogs are capable of understanding the emotions behind an expression on a human face. The study is the latest to reveal just how connected dogs are with people. The research also provides evidence that dogs use different parts of their brains to process human emotions. By living in close contact with humans, dogs have developed specific skills that enable them to interact and communicate efficiently with people. Recent studies have shown that the dogs’ brain can pick up on emotional clues contained in a person’s voice, body smell and posture,and read their faces.

In this study,the authors watched what happened when they presented photographs of the same two adults’ faces(a man and a woman) to 26 feeding dogs. The images were placed strategically to the sides of the animals’ line of sight and the photos showed a human face ex-pressing one of the six basic human emotions: anger,fear,happiness,sadness,surprise,dis-gust or being neutral.

The dogs showed greater response and cardiac(心脏的)activity when shown photo-graphs that expressed arousing emotional states such as anger, fear and happiness. They also took longer to resume feeding after seeing these images. The dogs’ increased heart rate indicated that in these cases they experienced higher levels of stress.

In addition,dogs tended to turn their heads to the left when they saw human faces ex-pressing anger,fear or happiness. The reverse happened when the faces looked surprised, possibly because dogs view it as a non-threatening, relaxed expression.“Clearly arousing, negative emotions seem to be processed by the right side of a dog’s brain,and more positive emotions by the left side,”says Siniscalchi.

The results support that of other studies done on dogs and other mammals. These show that the right side of the brain plays a more important part in regulating the sympathetic out-flow to the heart. This is a fundamental organ for the control of the “fight or flight”Behavioral response necessary for survival.

【1】What does the new research show?

A．People’s emotions are exactly revealed in dogs’ brains.

B．Dog’s brains are highly affected by people’s emotions.

C．Dogs own the natural ability to understand people’s emotions.

D．Dogs treat human emotions with different sides of their brains.

【2】How do dogs form the skills to interact with people?

A．By following certain orders.

B．By being treated by their owners.

C．By being closely connected with people.

D．By recognizing different faces on pictures.

【3】Which can best replace the underlined word“reverse”in paragraph 4?

A．opposite

B．nervous

C．rewarding

D．similar

【4】What may be a suitable title for the text?

A．Dogs are living in close contact with people

B．Dogs understand what’s written all over your face

C．Dogs’ heart rate increases when experiencing stress

D．Negative emotions affect dogs’ returning to feeding
