23、er advertisement in a newspaper, do you say to yourself, “Ah, thats good. I d like to have one of those“? Or do you say, “What lies are they telling this time?

30、gain, fear of the disapproval of other people, fear of ill health, the desire to catch a husband, the desire to show off, and many others. But more and more customers are also becoming suspicious of and resistant to high-powered advertising. This is producing, in highly sophisticated countries, a de
31、liberately modest type of advertisements that is intended to disarm the suspicions of sophisticates by giving an impression of absolute sincerity, or even of deliberate understatement.二、BSECTION B/B(总题数:1,分数:5.00)(1).In the first incident, the couple had planned to spend their weekend together _.(分数

He was flying in from Boston, and the wife from Europe and they were going to meet up on the Friday evening and stay the weekend together at one of those very big hotels near Central Park.Man: Yeah.Woman: Well, the hotel computer had got
34、 file first letter of their name wrong-theft name began with a B (I think it was Berry) but it was spelt on the computer with a P.

35、 she said she d wait in their room and she was shown to the room. Well, then about half an hour later the husband arrived and gave this name and spelt it out carefully to the reception clerk and asked “Has my wife arrived yet?“ and she looked up the name on the computer and said “No, not yet“, so he
36、 said he d wait in the room and the clerk promised to send his wife up to him when she arrived and he was shown up to a different room. So he turned on the TV and started waiting.Man: Oh.Woman: Well, they both waited for a couple of hours and then the wife called reception, was told her husband stil

The husband was not quite hungry so, after calling reception and being told his wife still hadnt arrived, he went down to have his dinner, and then went to bed. Well, the next day, th
