anything complex. Slowly, that began to change. In 1989, two AI programs, Hi Tech and Deep Thought,

that people began to see the true potential(潜能) of AI.
Today, AI can be used at work in our factories, online, and in our daily lives. Siri, the iPhone’s digital

What makes an advertisement effective? You can easily answer this
question if you walk around a city. A good ad is one that gets your attention
and makes you focus on the important __75__, too.
To learn how to create an effective ad, like a poster for example, start
by __76__ the two posters on the right. Answer this without stopping to
think: Which one is more effective? Yes, it’s the one at the bottom. Let’s
examine why.
First of all, it’s more colourful and it’s got attractive pictures. The white
and black poster almost becomes invisible next to it. Colour draws attention.
Moreover, it can __77__ your feelings and make you react in a certain way.
Images do the same. Do the cupcakes on the poster at the bottom make your
mouth water? Do they make you quickly go through the text to find out
where you can get them? That’s what they’re there for!
An ad isn’t just colour and pictures. You’ve got something to say, so
the next thing you should do is to decide how much text you should write.
Remember that people are impatient and will __78__ read a long text to see
what it’s about. The amount of text should be just right to get your message
across, so focus on your message and say it with as few words as possible. Your choice of font (the style of
letters), font size (how big or small the letters are) and font colour also play an important role. You want the
text to be __79__ to read, especially from a distance.
__80__, you have to decide how you’re going to organize both the pictures and the text in the space
you’ve got. A good layout helps people ‘read’ the ad quickly and communicates your message more
effectively. If your poster is too busy, your message will simply get lost!

A healthy mind
The brain is the most fascinating part of our body. Even though there has been all medical research,
n__81__ really understands everything about it. Like the rest of our body, our brain needs to be cared for.
The ways that we keep our mind healthy can be quite s__82__. Getting a good night’s sleep, eating a
balanced diet and taking deep breaths are all important methods of looking after both your body and your
brain.
Many people think their brain will slow down with age and their memory will get worse as a result.
The t__83__ is, just like your body, you can also improve your mind. I’ve found I can improve my memory
by i__84__ what I need to remember. For example, if I’m going shopping and I need bread, milk and a
birthday card for my brother, I form pictures of a loaf of bread, a carton of milk with a cow on the front and
a birthday card with a football on it.
The same kind of method can be used with important dates. If you have a picture in your mind of a
particular event, it’s much e__85__ to remember than just a number on a calendar.
Another way of improving your mind is to make sure you r__86__ visit new places and have new
experiences. Traveling more often has much more long-term benefits than you would have ever expected.
Personally I find learning English is a great way to keep the brain working, but communication with others
in any language is important. Having a c__87__ is much better for your brain than staring at a computer
screen or at other people talking on TV.
D. Answer the questions.
Dear Mrs. Smith,
I regret to inform you that your order for bed clothes and curtains will not arrive on schedule. The
reason for this is the factory that supplies our fabrics(面料) flooded during the typhoon over the weekend.
All of the material it had in stock(存货) was ruined, and its workers now have to clean up the factory. This
includes repairing some of the looms it uses to make the fabrics.
As a result, it will take an additional two weeks for them to send us the fabrics. Since you custom-
ordered these fabrics, the factory has agreed to deal with your order first. As soon as we receive it, my
company will also give your order priority; after all, you are a valuable customer for us. We’ll try to get all
the bed clothes and curtains done as soon as possible.
I’ll email you when we start sewing work, and again when the items are finished and we’ve done
quality control on them. __92__, and I hope you will continue to use our services in the future.
Sincerely,
Joes Sewing Company
