• ?.?????
• Leisure(??)plays an important part in British
  life.There are  26  main reasons for this.
• First of all, people spend  27  time working now
  than they  28 , mostly 29  the introduction of
  new technology in industry.The normal British  30
   week is Monday to Friday, 930 a.m.to 500 p.m.,
   31  some people, especially manual workers,
  regularly work a few hours' overtime each week.
• Secondly, all working people get a minimum of two
  weeks' paid vacation a year,  32  get three, and
  people in  33  such as teaching  34  get ten.In
  addition there are six or more bank holidays a
  year when all banks and businesses are  35.In
  some  36  the dates of these national holidays
  change from year to year  37  in different parts
  of Britain.
• Another reason is  38, thanks to modern medicine
  and  39  living standards(??), people live  40
   now.This means that  41  retirement, people have
  quite a few years of leisure  42.Nowadays, a much
  higher proportion of the population is over
  sixty, but in this group there are  43  women
  than men.
• Finally, few  44  are born each year and the
  average family in  45  has two children.This is
  one result of changing  46  attitudes(????).For
  example,  47  more married women now go out to
  work.The  48  they earn influences(??)their
  leisure time.Even those who  49  go out to work
  have more time for interesting hobbies  50  most
  British homes have washing machines and vacuum
  cleaners.

51.How many houses would you have to choose from
if you needed three bedrooms? A.8 B.3 C.4

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(???) should be
matched and spent in proportion to(????) the
business being achieved, and at the time it is
being generated(??,??).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(??)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
wordturnoveris also expressed as ______ in this
article. A.daily expenses B.expenditure C.advertis
ing budget D.the business being achieved
