Reading Comprehension (5 points) Complete the following sentences by choosing the best from the answers A, B, C, or D. (1 point each) A Everyone makes mistakes, or so the saying goes. But have you ever heard about mistakes in Hollywood? When most people think of Hollywood, they think of blockbusters (very successful movies), high-paid actors, glitz, and glamour. But according to one Website, many Hollywood movies are full of mistakes. Some are technical errors. For instance, in a scene of the science-fiction adventure film The Matrix, when the main character steps out of his car, the viewer can clearly see the camera crew in the car window. In another scene, the same character is typing on his computer, yet the computer screen is blank. Other movie mistakes are historical. For example, the epic Gladiator, an Oscar winner, is known for having lots of historical errors. Throughout the movie, the gladiator Maximus refers to his home in Spain, and the other characters call him uthe Spaniard. " However, in 180 A. D. , when the movie takes place, Spain as a country or even as a concept didn，t exist yet. At another point in the movie, Maximus says that his homeland of Spain has “the best horses. " But horses weren7 t brought to the Iberian Peninsula until the invasion of the Moors (North Africans) in 711 A. D, more than 500 years after the movie takes place. The historical drama Titanic, another Oscar winner, also has its share of historical blunders. The Titanic sunk in the year 1912.

Subliminal advertising is a kind of advertising that appeals to the subconscious. The word asubliminal “ comes from the Latin "sub ” meaning lower, “ "beneath, “ or uunder, " and "limen “ meaning “threshold, " (the level at which something begins to happen). Thus, subliminal advertising stimulates your brain at a level below conscious perception. You cannot see, hear, or perceive subliminal ads, but they may affect you just the same. There are two main types of subliminal ads. The first involves flashing messages quickly during a commercial or film. The messages appear and disappear so rapidly that the mind cannot process them consciously, but it might receive them passively, at a subconscious level. James Vicary, a market researcher, first introduced this kind of subliminal advertising in 1957 when he flashed the words ”Eat Popcorn " and "Drink Coca-Cola “ every five seconds during a movie. The messages couldn7 t be seen, yet Vicary claimed that the moviegoers7 brains could perceive them: Coke sales went up by 18% and popcorn sales by over 50%. More recently, the same type of subliminal advertising was used in a negative ad for a political campaign. In the ad, the word “rats " flashed up briefly during the part of the ad describing one party7 s healthcare plan. The purpose was to associate that opposing party with the negative word "rats. " The second kind of subliminal advertising involves hiding or incorporating images into visual advertisements. A well-known example is on a package of a famous brand of cigarettes. Some say that if you look closely you can see the image of a man who is sexually aroused. In fact, a lot of subliminal advertising involves sex, coming from the idea that “sex se
