25、Michael Faraday was one of the most famous scientists in history, and is known as "Father of Electricity". He discovered electromagnetic rotation, benzene, electromagnetic induction, etc. Without the work of this British scientist, many of the things we live with, such as computers, fridges, wouldn't be here.

Faraday's achievements seem more wonderful when we realize that he had very little schooling. He was born in 1791 in London. His father was too poor to send him to school. So the boy went to work at a bookstore, where he became interested in books on science.

One day young Faraday attended a lecture（讲座）given by a famous scientist, Sir Hump Davy.

Faraday took very careful notes at the lecture. Back at the bookstore he made diagrams（图表）to explain what Davy had said. Then he made the notes and diagrams into a book and sent it to the great scientist. In a letter he also told Davy that he was very interested in science.

Faraday received the excitement of his life when, on the day before Christmas in 1812, a postman came to the bookstore with a note asking him to call on Davy the next day. As a result of that visit, Faraday became an assistant（助手）in Davy's laboratory. At first, Faraday only washed chemistry glassware and kept the laboratory clean, but later he was given more important work to do. It was in Davy's laboratory that Faraday received the training that enabled him to become one of the world's greatest scientists.

【1】How many of Faraday's discoveries are mentioned?

A．2

B．3

C．4

D．5

【2】Faraday showed interest in science ________.

A．when he was at school

B．before he went to school

C．as he was working at a bookstore

D．after he listened to Davy's lecture

【3】On Christmas in 1812, ________.

A．Faraday paid a visit to Davy

B．Faraday became a teacher

C．Faraday got a book from Davy

D．Faraday made a present for Davy

【4】From Faraday's experience of working in Davy's laboratory, we can infer that ________.

A．Faraday was a tidy person

B．Faraday was a slow learner

C．Davy pushed Faraday too hard

D．Davy was pleased with Faraday

【5】Which would be the best title for the passage?

A．A Great Friendship.

B．Father of Electricity.

C．A Life-changing Visit.

D．The Most Important Discovery.

26、

Advertisements are everywhere, TV, newspapers, magazines and of course, on the Internet. Is advertisement really necessary? Billions of dollars are spent on it every year, so it must be important. After all, it’s a busy world. You have to advertise to get people’s attention to sell products!

Not every company thinks that way, however. The NO-AD company doesn’t advertise in traditional ways. It sells its products by word of mouth. In this way, they can save money and keep costs down, which makes their products cheaper for customers.

“Word-of-mouth advertising” happens when one person tells another about a good experience with a product or service. That next person then tells another friend, family member, or colleague (同事). And so a chain of information is created.

Usually, advertisers talk about how good their product is. Although they say things like “Studies show that our product is the best,” or “Everyone loves this product,” it can sound unconvincing. It’s much more believable to hear about a product from a family member or friend who has used it and liked it. Our loved ones’ opinions are very important to us, so we often listen to their advice about a product.

Word-of-mouth advertising has other advantages, too. It’s cost-effective (after all, it’s free) and a company doesn’t have to create a complex business plan to do it. Here is some advice for small businesses about word-of-mouth advertising.

● Be prepared to talk about your company at any time. You never know who you will meet. Always carry business cards.

● Only say good things about your company. Don’t say bad things about your competition.

● Help other companies by recommending people to them. The more you help others, the more good luck will come back to you and that’s good business.

【1】What’s the “traditional way” of advertising?

A.Attracting people with lower price.

B.Selling products by word of mouth.

C.Telling people the names of the companies.

D.Spending billions of dollars on advertisements.

【2】Which of the following may be a word-of-mouth advertising?

A.Telling people how good the product is on TV.

B.Recommending the product you like to your friends.

C.Telling people the product is the best in the newspaper.

D.Showing people how popular the product is on the Internet.

【3】What does the underlined word “unconvincing” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A.uncomfortable B.unimportant C.unbelievable D.unusual

【4】What might NO-AD companies do according to the passage?

A.Create complex business plans.

B.Say bad things about other companies.

C.Improve their products and service all the time.

D.Help other companies by wishing them good luck.

【5】The writer writes the passage to ________.

A.find out the value of making advertisements.

B.introduce people a new way of advertising.

C.tell people to care more about advertisements.

D.show how to sell products by advertising on TV.
