17、 researchers have discovered that this does not seem to be the case. British and Swiss researchers conducted a study showing that advertisements featuring endorsements(认可)by celebrities like David Beckham and Scarlett Johansson are not as effective as those by ordinary people. The difference is that
18、 regular people prefer to purchase goods that are bought by other regular people. In s sample of 298 university students, researchers presented a magazine advertisement for a digital camera that included an endorsement by an imaginary student saying the camera was hot and his preferred choice. The s
19、ame advertisement was shown to other students, but with a difference：the camera was endorsed by a famous person in Germany. The researchers also measured how important it was for consumers that the purchased products make a good impression on others. While the students said that both advertisements
20、were beneficial, the one made by the student topped the celebrity one if students aimed to impress others with their purchases. More than half of the students, who admitted to purchasing products that would impress others, said they were influenced by the student advertisement. Only 20% said the cel
21、ebrity one would affect their buying decision. For those who do not buy to impress, only 5% focused on the student advertisement. Professor Brett Martin from the University of Baths School of Management, explained that the findings can be used not only in Germany, but in other countries as well. Our
22、 re-search questions whether celebrities are the best way to sell products, said Mr. Martin.Celebrities can be effective but we found that many people were more convinced by an endorsement from an ordinary person. This is because many people, feel a need to keep up with the Jones when they buy. 56.

26、ng Barack Obama sweep to victory in the US election, the president-elects motto of change was Friday declared character of the year by a monk at one of Japans most respected temples. Using a calligraphy brush to write the single character on a wooden platform as tourists looked on, Seihan Mori, chie
27、f monk at Kiyomizu temple in the ancient capital of Kyoto, declared change to be Japans character of the year. The event was hosted by a Kyoto-based group that promotes the use ofkanji, the Chinese characters used in the Japanese language. The public sent in 111,200 nominations(提名) for the kanji of
28、the year. Of those, a majority 5.42 percent approved of change, followed by gold, suggesting the Beijing Olympics, and fall to show the global market decre.ase.

34、 D. The kanji event has been hosted by JKATF for more than 10 years. C Teachers and textbooks beware - your future could be under threat from a quickly developing and very smart technology. University of California researchers led by Jacob White hill recently programmed teaching robots to react to f
35、acial expression. Whitehills achievement marked a major step forward in the way people could one day learn by establishing facial expression recognition in robot teachers. The teaching robots or, Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) are computer systems that provide personalized instruction and feedba
36、ck to students without human intervention. The facial expression recognition allows a computer to react according to expressions a user makes. He said that the system was an important development in improving learning systems.Classical ITS typically have a somewhat rigid architecture of first I ask
37、a questions then I wait for a responses then I talk some more; then I wait for another response. Facial expression recognition, I believe, will allow the feedback from student to teacher to happen while the robot teacher is talking, Whitehill said. Experts agree the latest developments in ITS open n
38、ew possibilities for how people could learn. University of Memphis researcher, Dr Andrew Olney, who recently received a US$ I. 3 million grant to develop an ITS, said the key to future learning will be enabling interactive(交互的), one-on-one instruction. The technology can benefit these more advanced
39、learning scenarios(方案), he said. Although robot teachers of varying abilities have existed for more than 30 years, ITS developments such as Whitehills and Olneys are pushing beliefs that robots could soon be as effective as- if not more effective than human teachers. The ITS which have been develope
40、d are already better teachers than people who have no experience, Olney said. So, what is the future for todays teachers, classrooms, and textbooks?65.

42、e feedback to students in less timeC. somewhat interact with the students D. make different facial expressions68. According to the text, we can infer that A. in the future, students will not need textbooks at all B. the developed ITS can answer any question students ask C. facial expression recognit
43、ion in ITS has existed for a long time D. in the future teaching robots will possibly take the place of human teachers69. The writer seems to the newly-developed teaching robots.

45、most important trading routes in the world. But they are also the most feared. Pirates (海盗) whose targets are ships and their crew often show up there. On September 25, a Ukrainian ship carrying 30 tanks became another victim. The pirates have reportedly killed one of the crewmen and are now surroun
46、ded by the US Navy. But they are still demanding $ 20 million for the release of the ship. This year alone, more than 50 ships have been attacked, 25 hijacked (劫持), and 14 are currently being held. Of course this is nothing new either. Ever since there has been water and ships there have been pirate
47、s. The earliest documented history of pirates dates back to the 13th century in the Mediterranean Sea. Even the famous Roman emperor Julius Caesar was kidnapped (绑架) by pirates at one time.

48、d-20th-century, most pirates were common thieves. They used hooks to steal on board commercial ships, and took all that they could find. These pirates were more likely to flee than fight if met by the crew. However, nowadays piracy has become a multi-million dollar business attracting many in poor c
49、ountries such as Somalia. The pirates are well funded and have all the latest equipment, including satellite phones, said a top UN representative in Somalia. In Asia, however, a trend started where pirates didnt just want to kidnap the stuff, they also wanted to control the ship. They would kill the
50、 crewmembers or kidnap them for ransom (赎金). After the recent kidnapping of Ukrainian ship, people are also worrying that tanks and arms on board would fall into hands of terrorists.
