It is said that Jefferson, who had brought with him no servant, once stopped at a main hotel in Baltimore, got off the horse, and with a whip in his hand, entered the hotel and tried to find a room for the night. The owner looked at him up and down for some time, concluded that he was a farmer of not much importance, and told him coldly, “ We have no room for you, sir.” Jefferson, appearing not to have heard this, repeated his request, and got the same answer. He then turned around, called for his horse, and left. Soon after that, a rich gentleman entered the hotel and told the owner that the man who had just left was Thomas Jefferson, Vice-president of the United States. “Dear me, what have I done?” cried the owner. And then he ordered his servant to catch up with Jefferson and tell him he could have the best of everything in his hotel. The servant finally got Jefferson in a hotel in another part of the town and gave him the owner’s message. “Tell him that I value his kindness highly, but if he has no room for a dirty farmer he shall have none for the Vice-president,” said Jefferson.

People who are selling things usually put out advertisements (广告) about their articles in newspapers and magazines, and on radio and television. Advertisements tell us what we can get to buy, and they can help us to get what we want. If you look at the page of classified(分类的) advertisements in a newspaper, you will see many advertisements that give you just useful information about goods.
But, since we always have to choose what to buy with our money, every advertiser (广告商) tries to make us think that his goods are the best ones, or are very good ones. The advertiser uses different ways to get us to choose the things he is advertising. How can we judge what to believe, and what not to believe, before we spend our money? The answer is by learning to see through the tricks some advertisers use, so that we do not get fooled very easily.
First, we have to know people can be persuaded to make a certain choice if someone promises them something they want. We all have certain wishes, needs, feelings and weakness as human beings. A person who suggests that a need will be satisfied will have us ready to do what he wants us to do, unless we can find out what his aim is. Samuel Johnson, a famous writer, once said, “Promise, large promise, is the soul of an advertisement.”
41. The first paragraph tells us that ________.
A. people are tired of classified advertisement in any kind of media (新闻媒介)
B. people who are buying things always get what they want
C. people use advertisements to help sell goods
D. people enjoy reading advertisements in newspaper and magazines

B. who to believe
C. not to be fooled

A. how it is classified B. how people can be fooled

Dear Sir:
You may remember that last week I was a guest at your hotel.
When I arrived at the hotel, I put my raincoat in the cupboard in my room, Number 6, and did not take it out again even once during the whole of my stay in Upton as the weather was so beautifully fine. When the time for me to leave for home on Saturday, I’m afraid I left my raincoat behind.
Since my return to Leeds the weather here has got worse and worse, and I need the raincoat very much, so I ask you to kindly send it to me as quickly as possible—at my expense, of course. I am sorry to cause you this trouble, but I should be very thankful if I could have it soon.
While I am writing, there is one other thing I must tell you. As I was leaving the hotel, the door-boy asked me for money, I refused, and he then shut the door behind me so hard that it knocked me down the steps and a small hole appeared in my trousers. I had no time to tell you about this, as I was hurrying to catch my train, but I should be glad to hear what you are going to do about this rude behavior (行为) of one of your employees.
I should like to say that in all other ways my stay at your hotel was a very pleasant one, and I’m ready for a second holiday at Upton-on-Sea.
Yours truly,
John Hogg
