    English Exam (first term)


    Part One: Reading(15 points)
    A. Comprehension(08 pts)
    Read the text carefully then do the following activities.
    Advertisers spend billions of dollars a year worldwide encouraging and manipulating
    people into a consumer lifestyle with devastating impacts on the environment. Advertising
    exploits individual insecurity, creates false needs and offers counterfeit solutions. Children
    are particularly vulnerable to this sort of manipulation.
    Children are increasingly becoming the target of advertising because of the money they
    spend themselves,the influence they have on their parents spending and because of the
    money they will spend when they grow up. Marketing used to concentrate on sweets and
    toys; it now includes clothes, shoes, fast foods, sports equipment and computer products.
    Therefore, marketing to children should be carefully restricted. In particular, Internet
    and TV adverts should be banned. Such advertising favorsthe cost of these services rather
    than thatof children's values, health and integrity. The future of the planet will be at stake if
    we allow advertisers to turn children into hyper consumers.
