Scientists have puzzled overthis question for many years. Now they’re beginning to fill in the blanks.Not long ago, experiments showed that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daylight hours. Butwhat about birds that fly by night? Tests with artificial stars have proved that certain night-flying birds areable to follow the stars in their long-distance flights.A dove had spent its lifetime in a cage and had never flown under a natural sky. Yet it showed aninborn ability to use the stars for guidance. The bird’s cage was placed under an artificial star-filled sky. Thebird tried to fly in the same direction as that taken by his outdoor cousins. Any change in the position of theartificial stars caused a change in the direction of this flight.But the stars are apparently their principal means of navigation. When the stars are hidden by clouds,they apparently find their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges, coast lines, and river courses. Butwhen it’s too dark to see these, the doves circle helplessly, unable to find their way.1. The reason why birds don’t get lost on long flights ___________ .A. have been known to scientists for years B. have only recently been discoveredC. are known by everyone D. will probably remain a mystery2. During daylight hours, birds ___________.A. fly aimlessly B. rely on landmarksC. use sun for guidance D. are more likely to get lost3. By “his outdoor cousins” the author means___________.A. other experimentersB. the other doves of the same broodC. doves under the natural skyD. other birds in general4. The experiment with the dove indicated that__________ .A. birds have to be taught to navigateB. a bird that has been caged will not fly long distancesC. some birds cannot fly at nightD. some birds seem to follow the stars when they fly at night5. In total darkness, doves _________.A. use landmarks B. don't’ know which way to flyC. fly back home D. wait for the stars to appearPassage 2Advertising as we know it today did not begin in the United States until after the Civil War. Beforethat, advertising had consisted mainly of small paragraphs in which a man simply stated what he wantedto sell. Later, Benjamin Franklin became known as the “Father of Advertising”, partly because he used- 2 - the modern copy-writing technique of emphasizing the rewards derived from using a product, rather thansimply talking about the product itself.The 19the century is also the period in which trademarks and slogans were born. Manufacturers oftenadvertise a product by associating it with a symbol, often a person or an animal, known as a trademark; thetrademark fro a product may only be used by that particular company. For instance, the trademark of theRCA Victor Company is a picture of an old record player with a dog listening to the record; it appears inmost RCA ads and on most of their products.Slogans and trademarks are still widely used in modern advertising, but generally the approach hasbecome more scientific. With hundreds of products that are nearly identical, an advertiser must somehowmake his product look different, even if it really isn’t. It has been said that the two most important wordsin advertising are “free” and “new”. Middle class Americans usually think that if a product is new, it isalways better; and when people aren’t buying a product, calling it “new” often does wonders for its sales.6. Modern advertising began in the USA _______..A. in the 19th centuryB. after the Civil WarC. when trademarks and slogans were bornD. when people wanted to make their product look different.7. Benjamin Franklin was named the “Father of Advertising” partly because _____.A. he invented the trademarkB. he advertised his products firstC. he first used some important words like “free” and “new” in his advertisementD. he used modern copy-writing technique to stress the rewards derived from using a product8. What statement is true about trademarks?A. Trademarks were first used in the Civil War.B. Trademarks are used as a symbol of a product in advertisement.C.
