29、.在人际关系问题上我们不要太浪漫主义。人是很有趣的,往往在接触一个人时首先看到的都是他或她的优点。这一点颇像是在餐馆里用餐的经验。开始吃头盘或冷碟的时候,印象很好。吃头两个主菜时,也是赞不绝口。愈吃愈趋于冷静,吃完了这顿宴席,缺点就都找出来了。于是转喜为怒,转赞美为责备挑剔,转首肯为摇头。这是因为:第一,开始吃的时候你正处于饥饿状态,而饿了吃糠甜如蜜,饱了吃蜜也不甜。第二,你初到一个餐馆,开始举筷时有新鲜感,新盖的茅房三天香,这也可以叫做“陌生化效应”吧。(分数:10.00)_二十六、SECTION B ENGLISH TO(总题数:1,分数:10.00)43.For me the most

It cant be very good or they wouldnt have to advertise it so cleverly?“ Both types of people exist: the first are optimists; the second pessimists and realists. Then, how should one deal with advertisements?An intelligent person
40、 will try to get as much help as he can from advertisements without allowing himself to be influenced against his own interests by them. To do this, he will find out something about the laws regulating advertising in the country in which he lives. Secondly, he will try to learn, from experience and
41、from books, what one can believe in advertisements. When an article claims to be “the best in the world“, or to offer “the best value for money in the country“, is there any way of proving, or disproving, these claims? If there is not, they can simply be ignored.Advertising can be extremely useful i
42、f they are honest. If the advertisements are true and accurate, the customers will be satisfied and will probably buy from the same firm next time and advise their friends and acquaintances to do the same. They save a lot of time and trouble by putting sellers in touch with buyers in a quick and sim
43、ple way. The dishonest advertiser hopes to sell his goods quickly and to make a large profit on them before the customers reactions begin. He knows that no customers will buy from him a second time, that none will recommend his products to their friends. But there are also semi-dishonest advertisers
44、 who make claims for their products which they know perfectly well to be incapable of verification.If there was no advertising, fewer goods would be sold, so the cost of each article would be higher. The more you advertise, the more cheaply you can afford to sell your products. Advertising also enco
