Passage 1
Advertising
In the United States, advertising itlf is a big business. Millions and millions of dollars are spent on
television, radio, and printed messages to prospective consumers. Advertising firms do “mark for their clients, testing out various “pitches” in the quest for ones that are effective.
From the viewpoint of American consumers, advertising functions to inform them about available
products and rvices, as well as to encourage them to buy. From the viewpoint of visitors from abroad,
though, advertising rves and additional function, and it affords countless insights into American values,
tastes and standards. From American advertising, foreign visitors can gain some understanding of the and
other aspects of American society: American ideas about physical attractiveness in males and females, American ideas concerning personal hygiene, the emphasis Americans place on x, speed and technical sophistication, the amount of faith Americans have in arguments that include specific numbers, materialism in American society, male-female relationships, both pre-and post-material, the attention Americans pay to the words of celebrities, the characteristics of people who, in Americans
’ eyes, are considered “authorities ”,
who ideas and recommendations are persuasive, and the sorts of things Americans find humorous.
By comparing advertising they e in the States to what they have en at home, foreign visitors can gain understanding not just of American society, but of their own as well.
Pricing
With few exceptions, Americans are accustomed to fixed prices on merchandi they buy and ll. The usual exceptions are hous, automobiles, and something major appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines. Another exception is a private sales. Americans are not accustomed to bargaining over prices, and in fact usually feel quite uncomfortable with the idea.
Foreign visitors must realize that the price marked on an item does not include the sales tax that is added as part of the payment. (Sales tax rates vary from one jurisdiction to another.)
Americans do not believe, as people from many cultures do, that a commercial transaction includes particular attention to the human relationships involved. They look for the item they want, decide whe
ther they can afford the price marked on it, and, if they want to buy it, find a clerk or salesperson to take the money or do the paperwork for a credit-card purcha.
People who try to bargain for a lower price in a shop or store are likely to be considered either quite odd or startlingly aggressive.

The silence of the Reference Library was broken only by an occasional cough and now and then by the scarcely audible sound of pages being turned over. There were about twenty people in the room, most of them with their heads bent over their books. The assistant librarian who was in charge of the room sat at a desk in one corner. She glanced at Phillip as he came in then went on with her work
Phillip had not been to this part of the library before. He walked around the room almost on tiptoe, afraid of disturbing the industrious readers with his heavy shoes. The shelves were filled with thick volumes: dictionaries in many languages, encyclopedias, atlas, biographies and other works of reference. He found nothing that was likely to interest him, until he came to a small ction on photography, which was one of his hobbies. The books in this ction were on a high shelf out of his reach, so he had to fetch a small ladder in order to get one down. Unfortunately, as he was climbing down the ladder, the book he had chon slipped from his grasp and fell to the floor with a loud crash. Twenty pairs of eyes looked up at him simultaneously annoyed by this unaccustomed disturbance. Phillip felt himlf go red as he picked up his books, which did not em to have been damaged by its fall.
He had just sat down when he found the young lady assistant standing alongside him. “You m
more careful when you are handling thes e books,” she said verely. Satisfied that she had done her duty,
she turned to go back to her desk. Then a sudden thought struck her.
“By the way, how old are you?
asked Phillip.
“Thirteen,
” He told her.
“You ’re not allowed in here under the age of fourteen, you know,
the assistant said. “Didn ’t you e the notice on the door?” Phillip shook his head. He expected the assistant to ask him to leave. Instead, in a more kindly tone, she said:” Well, never mind. But ma
that you don ’t disturb the other readers again, otherwi I shall have to ask you to leave.

What ems distinctive about American interests in sport is that it is not confined to social class. People in all walks of life are reprented among ardent sports fans. The collective audience for sports events is enormous.
Sports are associated with educational institutions in a way that is unique. Junior and nior high schools have coaches as faculty members, and school athletic teams compete with each other in an array of sports. Each team
’s encourage included a marching band (especially associated with football, as Americans
and Canadians call the game played with oblong-shaped ball) and a group of cheerleaders. In some smaller American communities, high school athletics are a focal point of the town people ’s activities and conversations.
Nowhere el in the world are sports associated with colleges and universities in the way they are in the states. College sports, especially football, are conducted in an atmosphere of inten excitement and pageantry. Games between teams classified as “major f ootball powers ” attract nationwide television audience that number in the millions. There is a whole industry built on the manufacture and sale of badges, pennants, T-shirts, blankets, bats, and countless other items bearing the totem a
nd colors of various university athletic teams. Football and basketball coaches at major universities are paid higher salaries than the presidents of their institutions. Athletic departments budget in the millions of dollars.
Said a recently-arrived foreign student in Iowa City,
”It looks like the most important part of the
university (of Iowa) is the most important thing in the whole town.
”
Sports are a very frequent topic of conver sation, especially among males. “Small talk
” about sports is
lf-interesting, but not too personal. Participants can display their knowledge of athletes and statistics
without revealing anything considered private.
In some social circles, associating with athletes is a way to achieve social recognition. A person who knows a local hero personally, or who attends events where famous athletes are prent, is considered by some people to have accomplished something worthwhile.
Expressions from sports are extraordinarily in everyday American speech. Baball is probably the
source of more idiomatic expressions than any other sport. That fact disadvantages foreign visitors in
communicating with Americans becau most of them come from countries where baball is not played. 1. Which of the following is probably the best title for the passage? A. American Sports and Educational Institutions. B. Sports and Idiomatic Expression. C. American Excitement.
D. Social Class and Sports.
2. Sports are associated with American high schools in that _______.
A. all the students take part in different sports
B. coaches work in high schools as faculty members
C. high school athletics are the hot issue in most American communities
D. sports is not confined to faculty members
3. In the U.S., colleges are related to sports in a unique way becau.
A. college games between teams appeal to millions of people
B. football coaches at universities are paid higher salaries than college presidents
C. athletic departments gain a net profit of millions of dollars
D. college sports games are the most important events 4. It can be inferred from the passage that _______. A. all the Americans like to talk about sports
B. American college students are crazy about games between colleges
C. men are more interested in sports than women in the U.S.
D. Americans like to have
“small talk
” about sports becau it doesn
’t reveal one
’s privacy.
