But many consumers are feeling【77】now that the company has been disclosed for failing to tell the public that its bottles were not【78】from BPA, at least not the ones that were manufactured before August 2008. While there's no【79】showing the first-generation SIGGs did in fact contain BPA, there's still plenty of complaining at the company's lack of【80】. The news is【81】troubling since the company internally acknowledged the chemical's safety problem as early【82】2006, when it quietly decided to formulate a new, BPA- free liner.
To placate the masses, SIGG has【83】to exchange those older, BPA-laden bottles【84】new ones through Oct. 31, but people are still feeling betrayed. Like many parents, I know, a couple years ago I tossed all the baby bottles I had-and any【85】sippers(虹吸瓶) too—and invested in SIGGs, which cost about $20 each【86】to find out we were going in the wrong direction.

But the hoisting game is not what it used to be. Even at the height of the sales, shoplifters today never know if they are being watched by one of those evil little balls that hang from the ceilings of so many department stores above the most desirable goods.
As if that was not trouble enough for them, they can now be filmed at work and obliged to attend a showing of their performance in court.
Selfridges was the first big London store to install close-circuit videotape equipment to watch its sales floors. In October last year the store won its first court case for shoplifting using as evidence a videotape clearly showing a couple stealing dresses. It was an important test case which encouraged other stores to install similar equipment.
When the balls, called sputniks, first made an appearance in shops it was widely believed that their only function was to frighten shoplifters. Their strange appearance, the curious holes and red lights on and off, certainly made the theory believable.
It did not take long, however, for serious shoplifters to start showing suitable respect. Soon after the equipment was in operation at Selfridges, store detective Brian Chadwick was sitting in the control room watching a woman secretly putting bottles of perfume into her bag.
As she turned to go, Chadwick recalled, she suddenly looked up at the sputnik and stopped. She could not possibly have seen that the camera was trained on her because it is completely hidden but she must have had a feeling that I was looking at her. For a moment she paused, then she returned to the counter and started putting everything back. When she had finished, she opened her bag towards the camera to show it was empty and hurried out of the store.
(1)Why is January a good month for shoplifters?
A、Because the shop staff will serve them.
B、Because they are not excellent thieves.
C、Because there are so many people and the staff are busy.
D、Because there are so many wonderful goods in the shops.
(2)Sputniks are to __________________.
A、frighten shoplifters.
B、entertain customers.
C、show the performance of the shoplifters.
D、make films that can be used in evidence.
(3)The woman stealing perfume __________________.
A、checked at the cosmetics counter
B、sensed that Brian was watching her
C、saw the hidden camera
D、was thinking what the sputnik was for
(4)Why the woman opened her bag towards the camera?
A、To show she was sorry for what she had done.
B、Because she was afraid of being arrested.
C、To show she didn’t steal anything.
D、Because she didn’t want the things she had picked up.
(5)The author believes that __________________.
A、shoplifters respect sputniks now
B、to play the hoisting game, you need to be talented
C、the theory in paragraph 5 tells us how sputniks work
D、the case last October let other shops realize sputniks is useful

My first job after leaving school was in a bike shop. Then, I decided to go to college to study engineering, but I soon gave that up because I couldn't get enthusiastic about it. After that, I got a job working as a rep for a frozen food company, which was much better than studying. Our main customers were a convenience store chain called Star Stores, and the people there seemed to like the way I worked, as later they offered me the job of sales manager. I really enjoyed my time there and I managed to increase market share considerably by improving customer service. I stayed with them for ten years before moving to join Electra.
Although at first I earned less money, I knew in the long term the move to Electra was important for my career development. I started working with the staff, showing them how to deal with the customers- a happy customer always returns to the store! That's how I was promoted to the job of training organiser for the USA, working with the new staff. Now I'm here in the UK, I am an Executive Director.
Although we haven't introduced any new products yet, our sales figures have improved due to increased TV advertising. We're opening six new stores next year and although I'm busy, I enjoy feeling I'm part of the company's success story.
?Look at the notes about an American businessman calmed Matthew Webb, who is working in the UK for a company called Electra.
?Some information is missing.
?You will hear part of a presentation describing his working life.
?For each question (16-22), fill in the missing information in the numbered space using one or two words.
?After you have listened once, replay the recording.

How Advertisement Is Done
The Language of the Advertiser
When we choose a word we do more than give information; we also express out feelings about whatever we're describing. Words point to facts but often link these to attitudes at the same time; they can also affect the beliefs and attitudes of other people.
These two remarks are much the same, or are they? What's the speaker's feeling towards the same dog in each case? And how would the different descriptions affect the listeners?
Here comes that pet.
Here comes that dog.
The fact that words can work like this is important and valuable, for it adds a richness to our communication with one another. Advertisers make use of it in a number of ways.
Brand names
The manufacturer needs a name that will do more than just label: he wants a name that brings suitable associations as well the ideas that the word brings to the mind will help sell the product.
If all were available at the same price, which coat or suit would you choose from this range of shades—Dark Tan, Brown, Mud Brown?
Which of these shades of eye-show, Black Diamond, Black, Coaldust?
Key words
Because words have these associations, the advertiser is very careful about the way he describes his product and what it will do. Almost every advertisement has certain key words(sometimes, but not always, in bold or large letters, or beginning with a capital letter) that are intended to be persuasive, while at the same time appearing to be informative. It's difficult enough simply to describe what a thing is and how it works, especially in a few words, but the writers who write for the advertisements also try to include feelings, associations and attitudes.
Some words seem to have been so successful in selling that the advertisers use them almost as if they were magic key to a certain sale. How often, for instance, have you come across the word "golden" in advertisements?
Association of ideas
One thing reminds us of another, especially if we often see them together. These reminders(called "associations") are sometimes more imaginary than real: for many people a robin suggests Christmas, for others silver candlesticks suggest wealth.
The tricks of the advertising business we have so far described are all examples of the advertiser encouraging us to associate products with those things he thinks we really want a good jog, nice clothes, a sport car, a beautiful girlfriend perhaps most of all a feeling of importance. The "image" of a product is based on these associations, and the advertiser of ten creates a "good image" by showing us someone who uses his product and who leads the kind of life we should like to lead. We buy not just the product but the sense of importance that goes with it. We drink Coca-Cola not just for the taste, but because we would like to be thought of as being as gay as the energetic people who drink it in the ads.
How scientific is the science?
In this age of moon flights, heart transplants and wonder drugs, we are all impressed by science. If an advertiser links his claim with a scientific fact, there is even a chance we can be science. The question is simply whether the impressive air of the new discovery of the "man-made miracle" is being used to help or just to deceive us.
"The camera never lies"
Maybe we can't always believe what we're told, but surely we must accept what we're actually shown. The trouble is that when we look at the photograph we don't know how the photograph was taken, or even what was actually photographed.
Is that delicious-looking whipped cream really cream, or plastic froth?
Is that marvelous loss a sheet of glass?
Are the colours in fact s
