12. 52．How many houses can you visit if you want to have a look at the houses for sale on the weekend? A．10 B．2 C．5 D．3 B Today, a business selling goods to the public needs to tell them about what is for sale, and advertising, whether in newspapers or on TV, is the best modern means．But what is the best way to advertise, and is there a technique for making the best use of advertising? Here are some basic principles for you to refer to. (1)How much to spend? As a general principle, 3% of turnover．Studies have shown that this amount is not so large that it damages the business by using up money needed to re-put into the business or to cover the company's daily expenses, nor is it so small that it fails to buy effective advertising． (2)When to spend it? Expenditure of money should have to do with the highs and lows of the business．In other words, the advertising budget in a retail business(零售业) should be matched and spent in proportion to(与……成比例) the business being achieved, and at the time it is being generated(产生，发生)．This is because advertising maximises the interest in the goods which sell.

13. The important principle to get right is: ADVERTISING SHOULD BE USED IN DIRECT RELATION TO THE HIGHS AND LOWS OF THE BUSINESS．In other words advertising should be directed at the customers when the cash(现金)is coming in. (3)What to put in your ad? Look around your business or shop and see what kind of business you are doing and when．If you are a hardware retailer and in June 20% of turnover is in house paint and 50% in hardware, then June advertising should show that proportion．At least half the advertising should be spent on hardware．If, in spring, 50% of turnover is in paint, the 50% of advertising should show that. To be successful, you have to be prepared to push yourself and your business beyond what you think its capacity is．And advertising can do that. 53．If a retailer gets ＄300 000a year by selling his goods, how much money is he expected to spend on advertising according to this article? A．＄150 000 B．＄9 000 C．＄60 000 D．＄300 000 54．The word“turnover”is also expressed as ______ in this article. A．daily expenses B．expenditure C．advertising budget D．the business being achieved

14. 55．According to this article, the best time to advertise is ______. A．when customers have cash B．when shops have goods C．when advertising agents have cash D．when businessmen get money out of their goods Ⅴ．单词拼写。 56．The hospital is named The Bethune Hospital in______ (纪念) of Dr．Bethune. 57．You must carry out your plan with ______ (下决心). 58．Only ticket-holders will be___(可以进入)into the stadium. 59．It's believed that more money should be ______ (用在)to stopping air pollution. 60．The ______ (探险队)slept in tents on the desert. 61．Two-story houses have ______ (缺陷). 62．All the three boats had ______ (沉没)in the storm. 63．The fire was the worst d ______ ever to hit the town. 64．The cook is b ______ bread and cake. 65．I have a great a______ for some of your poems．They are just wonderful!
