Usually it is the children, not the parents, who are unwilling to spend their evenings practicing spelling

and

learning

times

tables.

But

a

Canadian

couple

have

just

won

a

legal

36

to

free

their

children

from

homework after successfully arguing that there is no clear 37

that it improves academic performance.

Shelli and Tom Milley, two lawyers from Calgary, Alberta,38

their highly unusual case after years

of 39

to make their three children do school work out of the classroom. After a long war with their eldest

son, Jay, now 18, over his homework, they decided to do things

40

with their youngest two, Spencer,

11, and Brittany, 10. And being lawyers, they decided to make it

41

.

It took two years to

42

the Milleys’ Differentiate Homework Plan,

which ensures their youngest

two children will never have to do homework again at their

43

school. The two-page plan,

44

by

the

children,

parents

and

teachers,

stipulates

(

约定

)

that

“homework

will

not

be

used

as

a

form

of

45

for the children”.

46

, the pupils promise to get their work done in class, to come to school

47

, and

to revise for tests. They must also read daily and practice their musical instruments at home.

“It was a

48

homework battle every night,” Shelli told Canada’s Globe and Mail newspaper. “It’s

hard to get a weeping child to

49

math problems. They are tired. They shouldn’t be working a second

·

5

·

50

.

” She then wondered, “Why did we let our family

51

through that stress? If we don’t want it all,

we shouldn’t ha

ve to

52

it.”

Two years ago, Shelli began

53

studies on homework, most of which suggest that, particularly

for younger grades, there is no clear

54

between work at home and school performance. Working with

the staff at St Brigid Elementary Junior High School, she formed a homework committee. When no firm

changes

resulted

from

the

committee,

the

couple

began

negotiating

the

legal

document

that

55

the

matter.

“We think it’s a parent’s right to choose wha

t

’s in our children’s best interests,” said Shelli. “But we’re

grateful the school did the right thing.”

A

Advertising

is

first

journey

marketing.

Your

only

goal

in

advertising

is

to

show

enough

gold

to

get

people to want to be a prospect (

期望

). Forget about selling them anything.

Then how do you show them the gold? Keys to effective advertising are as follows.

Talk to one person, and call his / her name.

On a crowded Manhattan street, elbow-to-elbow with a sea of people, I still heard someone speak in a

conversational voice

—

“Mark.” I

turned my head around. Of course he was talking to someone else, but it

still caught my attention.

You need to speak to one person, and call his / her name. In marketing, the next best thing to a personal

name

is

your

Who

and

What.

For

example,

“Golfers”

=

who

“have

knee

pain

affecting

their

swing?”

=

what.

Educate them in a helpful way.

If

you

have

room,

take

the time

to

explain

one

point

that

will

help

them

with

the problem

they

are

facing. For smaller ads you can just point them towards a web page where you want to educatethem about

something helpful.

For instance, “Most pain is actually caused by stress. Stopping the stress means decreasing or stopping

the pain. Right now, just notice your knee pain. See if you can notice where your legs and hips feel tense,

and breathe into the tension. As it relaxes, see how the pain feels.” If you have more space, you can go into

more details.

Offer a trade: their contact information for something valuable.

“Of course, your knee pain isn’t gone completely. This is just a clue. If you’d like a free article with

illustrations on how to decrease knee pain and help your swing, just leave your contact information and you

will be given an additional golf swing tip every week.” You can just follow this example.

Finally, don’t

ignore design.

Keep it simple. In a loud, overcrowded world, simplicity and straightforwardness have the best chance

of being noticed. Use plenty of white space, easy-to-read front (

字体

), and avoid complicated patterns.

Besides, you can try Robin Williams (not THAT Robin Williams) book, The Non-

Designer’s Design

Book, Maybe you can learn something from it.

Have fun with your advertising!

56. Which of the following is a tip for advertising successfully?

A. Call one’s name whenever meeting with someone.

B. Keep in mind that advertising is first journey marketing.

C. Pay attention to design and keep it complicated if possible.

D. Educate your potential customers about something helpful.

57. How do you understand the underlined sentence in the passage?

A. The go

lfer’s knee was hurt and he can’t play golf any more.

B. The golfer can’t swing because of the knee pain and he needs treatment.

C. The golfer’s knee pain was caused by stress and we should help him stop the stress.

D. The golfer can’t play golf any more and we’ll speak to him and offer him some tips.

B

Fantasy literature is fantasy in written form. Historically speaking, the majority of fantasy works have

been literature. Since the 1950s however, a growing part of the fantasy genre (

流派

) has taken the form of

video

games,

music,

painting,

and

the

like.

It

is

difficult

to

define

the

precise

“beginning”

of

fantasy

literature,

as

stories

involving

magic

and

terrible

monsters

have

existed

since

time

immemorial.

On

the

whole, the genre, as a distinct type, began to become visible in the Victorian times, in the works of writers

such as William Morris, Lord Dunsany and George Macdonald.

Some

commentators

declared

that

the

South

African-born,

English

professor

of

philology,

J.

R.

R.

Tolkien,

was

influential

to

the

mass-popularization

of

the

fantasy

genre,

with

his

hugely

successful

publications

—

The Hobbit, and The Lord of the Rings. Tolkien himself, though, was largely informed by

an ancient body of Anglo-Saxon myths

—

particularly Beowulf

—

but it was after his work that the genre

began

to

receive

the

name,

“fantasy”.

J.

R.

R.

Tolkien’s

close

friend

C.S.

Lewis,

author

of

ofNarnia,
