16、ught you could have passed easily, only to make some silly mistakes that really hurt your grade？More than a few students have done that. And some seem to do it over and over again. There are several problem areas that can cause students to goof up or do poorly in a test that they could have passed.

18、hough, is that some students feel they are smart enough to be able to guess their way through a test. So they dont bother studying the material. They are overconfident in their ability to figure things out. In either case, overconfidence can result in lower grades in tests. Does this apply to you？An

19、other thing that can happen is that students underestimate(低估) the difficulty of the test. They expect an easy test, but the teacher throws in a real tough test that they havent prepared for.

20、ally if you werent paying attention in class. Finally, there are students who dont feel that getting a good grade is important to them, so they dont bother to study or even try to do well.

C“Our coffee is loved by millions worldwide.” Do you often see this kind of advertising in your country? Statements like these tha

24、t no one can prove are called puffery. Puffery is legal, even though it cannot be proved. In fact, puffery has been called a license to lie, as it is regarded as an opinion rather than an objective statement.Using puffery to raise awareness of products and to increase sales, is a common advertising

25、method. Some people, however, worry about puffery. One of the concerns is whether consumers are misled by false advertising. Therefore, advertisements containing puffery sometimes can be tested in the courts, and the decisions that are made help to tell the difference between acceptable puffery and

26、illegal advertising.On the one hand, if a company tells the public that it sells the countrys best-loved or favorite product, this is thought to be puffery, rather than an objective description of market share. Similarly, the company does not have to produce proof that such puffery is actually suppo

27、rted by numbers or facts. In other words, advertisements such as the worlds best cup of coffee are impossible to prove. They are too good to be true and thus it is expected that any consumer will understand how subjective they are. Such advertisements are therefore not thought of as misleading. In f

Consumer righ

29、ts organizations can run tests to examine whether or not such statements agree with the fact. Companies should thus be very careful when making factual statements about a product.A primary function of advertising is to create product awareness. As consumers, we need to know -about competing products

While it is important that advertisers are monitored to ensure they do not mislead consumers, it can be argued that puffery is a good way of raising awareness of new products. As long as there are effective ways of monitoring advertisements to pre

31、vent deliberate deception (欺骗) in safety and quality, it seems that most puffery is relatively harmless. Rather, it has become part of advertising, which most consumers can laugh at rather than being misled.28. By “Our coffee is loved by millions worldwide, the passage intends to .A. describe a fact

32、 B. present an argumentC. introduce the topic D. provide background information29. The function of puffery is mainly to help .A. raise awareness of new products B. describe products market shareC. test the advertisement in the courts D. run tests to examine the new products.30.

37、, so last November she told her daughter she was going to make a skirt and jacket suit out of plastic bags, as a winter project. Rosa started by cutting up the plastic bags into strips（条）and then tying them together to make longer, yarn like strips that could be knitted. But to knit the plastic yarn

38、, she needed that didnt exist on the market so she made them on her own. The suit took Rosa two months to complete. The jacket was made out of 170 plastic bags, and the skirt required another 140. Although she didnt even use a pattern when knitting the impressive suit, it ended up fitting her perfec

39、tly, and when she finally showed it off at the supermarket earlier this month, everyone went crazy.
