  It is not easy to find a public place without advertisements. We can see them everywhere, especially in newspapers or on TV. It’s true that ads are playing a more and more important part in our daily life. They tell us some information about new products and help us to decide what to buy.
‘Each coin has two sides’-----Everything has its advantages and disadvantages(优势和劣势).Ads also have disadvantages. For example, some of the factories hope to win a big market for their products. They are so dishonest that they don’t tell the truth about their products. They try their best to make people believe that the advertised（打广告的）products are good. But in fact they are of poor quality(质量). Many people are cheated(欺骗) by the dishonest ads. So people often buy what they do not need.
Where can ads be seen(被看到)?
______________________________________________
What does an ad help us to do?

Are all the advertised products good in quality?

What do the dishonest ads let people do?

Travelling is one of the most important activities and people have been interested in it for many years. Modern traffic develops fast, so travelling to different places has become much faster than before. Staying healthy while travelling can make your trip happier.

Take some necessary medicine with you. They can be used when you get sick or have other problems.
Do some exercise for weeks or months before you leave if you plan to do lots of walking or climbing during your trip.
Prepare proper food. Before you prepare the food, the first thing you need to think about is how long you will travel with the food. If you take a long trip, you should bring food such as bread, biscuits and some fruit. They don’t go bad quickly. The nearer people can bring meat, fish, eggs, milk and even salads and vegetables.

Making a public speech is the thing that most people don’t want to do. The reason is that we are all afraid of making mistakes in front of others. The more important the speech is, the more frightened we will be. But forget it now. Public speaking is easy. It’s just a simple talking, Although I’m a shy man, I’ve been making speeches and talking on radio and television for more than 30 years. Anybody who can talk can speak in public. Here are some of the lessons I have learned:
Keep your speech simple. Your audience can’t take all of your main ideas, and they can only remember one or two of them, not ten or twenty. So you should prepare one or two of your main ideas very well. But if you can’t express what you want to say, then your speech will not be paid attention to. And if you don’t have a clear idea of what you want to say, your audience won’t, either.
Organize your speech well. No matter how long or short your speech is, you have to organize your speech—how you are going to open or begin, what main points you want to make and how you’re going to close or end. A strong close is usually very important and critical(关键的): the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember. If not, they will be confused.
Keep your speech not long. The standard length of a speech is usually 12 minutes. Most people can’t put their minds in one thing for too long time, which will make them tired and lose their interest. If you pay no attention to your audience’s reaction(反应)，the audience will get bored. Of course, your speech will fail.
Following these suggestions above, you can make a good speech in public, and you will be an excellent speaker, I think.

请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。
One afternoon, many years ago, I went to pick up my mother from work. I got there a little early so I stopped the car by the roadside and waited for her.
As I looked out of the car window, there was a small park where I saw a little boy, around two years old ,running freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been set free from some sort of prison(监狱）.The boy would then fall to the grass, get up and without looking back at his mother, still with a smile on his face.
At that moment ,I thought to myself, “Why can’t most adults this way?” Most adults,when they fall down, they would be so embarrassed that they would not try again if someone saw them fall. They would end up too afraid to try again for fear of failure.
Kids, when they fall down, they don’t consider their falling down as failure, instead, they treat it as a learning experience. They try and try again until they succeed. While I was touched by the boy's persistence, I was also touched by the manner in which he did. I learned a lot from that   and have successfully brought that lesson with me in my many pursuits（追求) in life.
What did the boy’s mother do when the boy was running freely on the grass?
                                                
How would adults feel when someone saw them fall?
                                                
What do kids often treat their falling down as?
                                                
What was the writer deeply impressed by?
                                                
What do you think failure is?(请自拟一句话作答)
