The history of the teddy bear goes back no further than 1903. In that year, a cartoon appeared in an American
newspaper (26) ________ President Theodore (Teddy) Roosevelt refusing to shoot a bear cub on a hunting
expedition. Soon after this, an enterprising toy shop owner in New York made some toy bears and displayed them
in his shop window with a sign that said Teddy’s bear. These bears proved to be so popular that they soon sold out
and it wasn’t long before a factory was established to take advantage of the great demand for these new toys.
At about the same time, the Steiff toy factory in Germany had introduced a (27) ________ of soft toys, made

answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.
Advertising helps people recognize a particular brand, persuades them to try it, and tries to keep them loyal to
it. Brand loyalty is perhaps the most important goal of consumer advertising. Whether they produce cars, canned
foods or cosmetics, manufacturers want their customers to make repeated purchases. The quality of the product
will encourage this, of course, but so, too, will affect advertising.
Advertising relies on the techniques of market research to identify potential users of a product. Are they
homemakers or professional people? Are they young or old? Are they city dwellers or country dwellers? Such
questions have a bearing on where and when ads should be placed. By studying readership breakdowns for

2
newspapers and magazines as well as television ratings and other statistics, an advertising agency can decide on
the best way of reaching potential buyers. Detailed research and marketing expertise are essential today when
advertising budgets can run into thousands of millions of dollars.
Advertising is a fast-paced, high-pressure industry. There is a constant need for creative ideas that will
establish a personality for a product in the public’s mind. Current developments in advertising increase the need
for talented workers.
In the past, the majority of advertising was aimed at the traditional white family - breadwinner father, non-
working mother, and two children. Research now reveals that only about 6 percent of American households fit this
stereotype. Instead, society is fragmented into many groups, with working mothers, single people and older people
on the rise. To be most successful, advertising must identify a particular segment and aim its message toward that
group.
Advertising is also making use of new technologies. Computer graphics are used to grab the attention of
consumers and to help them see products in a new light. The use of computer graphics in a commercial for
canned goods, for instance, gave a new image to the tin can.
Question 31: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. How to develop a successful advertising plan
B. New techniques and technologies of market research
C. The central role of advertising in selling products
D. The history of advertising in the United States
Question 32: The word “this” in paragraph 1 refers to ________.
A. the quality of the product B. effective advertising
C. repeatedly buying the same brand D. the most important goal
Question 33: According to paragraph 2, market research includes ________.
A. studying television ratings
B. hiring researchers with backgrounds in many fields
C. searching for talented workers
D. determining the price of a product
Question 34: According to the passage, most advertising used to be directed at ________.
A. working mothers with children B. two-parent families with children
C. unmarried people D. older adults
Question 35: The phrase “in a new light” in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. differently B. with the use of color enhancement
C. more distinctly D. in a more energy-efficient way
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Imagine the busy streets of New York City, an enormous place with millions of people. Every day, the streets
are congested with people going about their daily lives. Now imagine a small robot in the middle of all of those
people rolling down a busy sidewalk. Most people would not even notice the ten- inch smiling robot, called a
Tweenbot, rolling along the street. This strange machine may interest some people, while others would ignore it
completely. A researcher interested in studying how helpful people really are uses such robots in her experiments
that take place on the streets of New York.
The Tweenbots experiment is the idea and creation of Kacie Kinzer. Kinzer’s idea was to make a robot that
could navigate the city and reach its destination only if it was aided by pedestrians. Tweenbots rely on the
kindness of warm-hearted strangers. Made simply of cardboard, wheels, and a device to turn the wheels, the
Tweenbots face many dangers on the city streets. They could be run over by cars or smashed by careless kids.
Kinzer thought her little robots might even be seen as some kind of terrorist device. The only real protection a
Tweenbot has is its friendly smile. In addition to that, each of Kinzer’s robots is fitted with a flag that displays
instructions for the robot’s destination. The only way these robots will reach their final point is if someone lends
them a hand. Tweenbots are essentially a social experiment aimed at providing people a chance to show how
caring they are.
On a daily basis, people in New York City are often in a hurry to get around. However, the Tweenbots,
through their inability to look after themselves, took people out of their normal routines. The people who noticed
the helpless little robots were actually interested in helping the Tweenbots find their way home. Tweenbots move
3
at a constant speed and can only go in a straight line. If one was to get stuck, or was going in the wrong direction,
it would be up to strangers to free it or turn it in the right direction. Surprisingly, no Tweenbot was lost or
damaged, and each one arrived at its target in good condition. In fact, most people treated the robot in a gentle
manner, and some even treated it as though it were a small living being.
Even if you were in a rush to go somewhere, would you stop and help a Tweenbot successfully reach its
destination?
