     Have you realized that time has passed very quickly since you entered Grade Nine? Maybe
you think you have so much homework to do every day but you do not have enough time. All
the holidays are far away, so you may feel very upset. However, you needn"t be upset.There
are some ways for you to save time and cheer up.
     1. Do less. Please remember: if you want to do everything in one day, you can do nothing
well. So you"d better make a list of things you need to do first, and then decide which things are
the most important, and then put all your energy and time into them.
     2. Don"t meet other people too often. Not all meetings will waste your time, but many will.
You should say no to your friends sometimes when they invite you to do outdoor activities. If you

can"t do the things you need to do.
     3. Don"t make long conversations. You may have one or two close friends in your school

     If you open today"s newspaper, what do you see? Ads! Look through a magazine. More ads! Turn on
the TV. Still more ads! Everywhere you look, someone has something to sell.
     Here are some ways ads get us to buy. Some ads use famous people. Stars are paid to sell a product.
Think about it. Do they really know about medicine? Do they know about soft drinks? There people may
be famous, but they may not know about what they are selling.
     Some ads make you think you"re getting the word of an expert(专家). They say, "Doctor said." A man
in a white coat comes on TV. He looks nice. "I use Bright and White," he says. This man looks like a doctor.
But he is an actor. He has been paid to sell this product.
     Does soap have anything to do with a pretty child? But ads may show their product with something nice,
such as the sun, the flowers and so on. Such an ad is about feelings rather than facts. Ads are full of strong
words. Words like "new" and "improved" have strong influence. They can help a product sell. The soap may
be called "Spring Rain". A car may be called "Tiger". Strong words work on our feelings.
     Some ads make promises(承诺). But can they keep them? No. Some ads use our fear of being too late.
"Buy now!" they say. "Selling ends soon." Check to see if this is true. Don"t hurry. Take time to think. All ads
hope we will buy something, do something, or think in a certain way. Know what ads are doing. Ask questions
to yourself. Don"t let their words and pictures fool you.

1. We can see ads _____.
A. on TV
B. in magazine
C. in newspaper
D. all the above
2. Some stars show in the ads because _____.
A. they know every product well
