Wine was consumed by both therich and the poor, drunk at every meal. Even slaves were given a weekly amount of 5 quarts each in order to preserve their strength.Though wine was always popular, the Romans did not plant their own vineyards （葡萄园）until they had taken control of the Italian peninsula in thesecond century AD. Vineyards quickly sprang up all over the Roman countryside and beyond. By the first century, wine was being imported from Gaul and Iberia（modern day France and Spain） in order to quench Rome's endless thirst for it.Transporting wine over such vast distances was a serious challenge. Winecontainers needed to be airtight in order to prevent oxidation （氧化），strong enoughto keep from breaking, and light enough to be carried by hand. It was also important that the container be made out of a material that wouldn't upset the wine's flavorand be kept at a cool, stable temperature in order to prevent damage, a majorconcern for wine makers to this day. The Romans used clay and oak to solve theseproblems, creating one of the greatest and most wine-soaked cultures.The drinking habits of Ancient Rome had an enormous influence on Europeanculture. As they conquered Europe, they not only brought their laws, but also theircustoms, exporting their love of wine throughout their empire. They were the first to plant vineyards in the Rhone Valley and across France. They introduced wineto Germany and Britain, and used their knowledge of wine craft to transform andexpand Spanish vineyards. The Roman study of vineyard skills not only improvedthe wine's quality, but also helped guarantee its survival following the breakdownof Rome and the turmoil （动舌L） of the Middle Ages.1 > What does the underlined word “quench“ in Paragraph 2 mean?A.

The Romans gave slaves wine to make them work harder.D. The Romans began to plant vineyards when wine first became popular.Text 3Persuasion is the art of convincing someone to agree with you. According to the ancient Greeks, there are three basic tools of persuasion： ethos, pathos, and logos.Ethos is a speakers way of convincing the audience that she is trustworthy, honest and reliable. One common way a speaker can develop ethos is by explaining how much experience or education she has in the field. After all, you're more likely to listen to advice about how to take care of your teeth from a dentist than a fireman. A speaker can also create ethos by convincing the audience that she is a good person. If an audience cannot trust you, you will not be able to persuade them.Pathos is a speaker's way of connecting with an audience's emotions. For example, a politician who is trying to convince an audience to vote for him might say that he alone can save the country from a terrible war. These words are intended to fill the audience with fear, thus making them support him. Similarly, an animal charity might show an audience pictures of injured dogs and cats, to make the viewers feel pity. If the audience feels bad for the animals, they will be more likely to donate money.Logos is the use of facts, statistics, or other evidence to support your argument. An audience will be more likely to believe you if you have convincing data to back up your claims. Presenting this evidence is much more persuasive than simply saying "believe me".Although ethos, pathos, and logos all have their strengths, they are often most effective when used together. Indeed, most speakers use a combination of ethos, pathos, and logos to persuade their audiences. So, the next time you listen to a speech, watch a commercial, or listen to a friend try to convince you to lend him some money, be on the lookout for these ancient Greek tools of persuasion.1、Why does the author say persuasion is an art? A. They both entertain the audience.B. They both require great skills to achieve.C. They both demand full attention from the audience.D. They were both common topics of ancient Greek writers.2 How is a speaker able to show her ethos to the audience? A. By expressing her sympathy with the audience.B. By telling the audience about her personal preference.C. By using beautiful language to make her statements attractive.D. By showing her knowledge and experience relating to the topic.3、What can we learn about the three aspects of persuasion? A. Ethos is the most important aspect of persuasion.B. Each aspect has a different effect on the audience.C. Honesty is the key to making your arguments believable.D. Political leaders mostly use pathos to persuade their audience.4、An advertisement for washing powder which claims that "scientific tests show that our powder kills 95% of all bacteria is mainly using.A. ethos B. pathosC. logos D. a combination of all threeText 4Attractions in Hong KongHong Kong IslandThe site of the original British settlement and the main focus of most tourists.
