First launched in 2010 by China’s e-commerce giant Jingdong, the 618 shopping event has

developed into a major mid-year shopping event that has driven online consumer spending over the

decade. However, consumers are becoming more cautious during a pandemic-hit economic

downturn and growing tired of more frequent shopping events stimulation over the past decade.

The event was originally created as a competition for the Alibaba-backed Singles’ Day

shopping event (on November 11). And similar to Singles’ Day, the 618 shopping festival has

grown out of its founding platform and become a promotional event across all major Chinese e-

commerce platforms. The event is also considered a barometer ( 指标 ) for consumer spending

capacity and new shopping trends in China. For those who are taking a close look at the country’s

second-largest shopping carnival, this year’s edition of 618 might seem like 2020’s all over again,

yet if anything the situation is even more serious.

In both years, China was just coming out of lockdowns which had taken a toll on the country’s

economy and led to negative consumer consumption concept. But the timing is different. In 2020,

Covid-19 broke out in January and most pandemic-related lockdowns were removed in early April.

By the time 618 arrived in June, the state had already stepped in to boost consumption by launching

a series of digital subsidy programs over April and May. On top of that, the two-month gap allowed

more time for manufacturing and logistics (物流) companies to recover from the lockdowns ahead

of the shopping festival.

This year, however, there’s less time for the market – either consumer consumption concept,

merchants ( 商人 ), or logistics companies – to react since the months-long lockdowns to control

new Covid-19 outbreaks in cities like Beijing and Shanghai only ended on June 1, just as many

retailers were preparing for the 618 shopping festival with pre-promotion and early deals.

Moreover, recent trends make it obvious that Chinese consumers will be even more cautious in

2022 than they were near the start of the pandemic.

4. What was the reason for JD to establish the 618 shopping events?

A. To attract customers to shop in malls.

B. To celebrate Jingdong’s establishment.

C. To compete with Alibaba for customers.

D. To create opportunities for single person.

5. Why is the 618 shopping event seen as an assessment of spending power?

A. Because of its leadership in fashion.

B.It is China’s second-largest shopping festival.

C.Because of JD company’s popularity.

D. It is organized by China’s largest online platform.

6. What difficulty do the 618 shopping events in 2020 and 2022 both face?

A. The absent logistics assistance.

B. The same tough timing for selling.

C. The pandemic-hit economic decline.

D. The sales restrictions set by government.

7.What does the underline word “lockdowns”in the last paragraph mean?

A. measures to close cities B. limited activities

C.locks to the door D.downtowns

Giving children music lessons won't just introduce them to music—it could also greatly

improve their language skills but it isn't understood if this is a side effect of a general improvement

of cognitive (认知的) skills, or something that directly affects language processing.

Now, we are getting closer to an answer, thanks to a study of 74 Chinese kindergarten children,

led by Robert Desimone from MIT. For the study, Desimone's team chose children from the

Chinese education system, with the support of education officials who wanted to see how it might

improve their learning.

The 4 to 5 year-old Mandarin-speaking children in the study were divided into three groups. The

first group received a 45-minute piano lesson three times a week, while the second group received

extra reading instruction classes. The third group acted as controls, taking no extra lessons beyond

their usual classes.

The classes lasted for six months, after which the children were tested on their ability to tell

words based on differences in tones, consonants(辅音), or vowels(元音). The test results showed

that the children who had taken piano lessons performed better at telling the difference between

words that differ by a sing leconsonant, when compared with the children who took extra reading

lessons. Compared to the control group, both the music learners and the extra reading group did

better in telling the difference between words based on vowel differences.

“It looks like for recognising differences between sounds, including speech sounds, it's better

than extrareading. That means schools could pay more attention to music,” Desimone says. “It's not

worse than giving extra reading to the children, which is probably what many schools are trying to

do—get rid of the art education and just have more reading.”

8.What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 1 refer to?

A. Introducing music to children. B. Determining language ability.

C. Giving children music lesson. D. Improving children's language skills.

9.What do we know about the study?

A. It lasted for about half a year.

B. The control group learned nothing.

C. Music and reading can both improve learning.

D.The second group did well in telling consonants.

10.How did the researchers get the results?

A. By giving examples. B.By making comparisons.

C.By asking questions. D. By making classifications.

11.What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. Students like extra reading.

B. Many schools value art education.

C. The benefits of music lessons are not fully understood.

D. Music lessons are enough to improve students' learning.

Product placement (植入式广告) is a form of advertising in which a company pays a content

creator to place its products on the set of a movie, TV show or music video. The oldest examples of

products appearing in films date back to the production of a French motion picture in 1896. Recent

years have witnessed the bloom of product placement. With viewers migrating to web videos, this

trend makes sense.

When watching web videos, about 90% of consumers either skip or ignore those traditional ads

that run before the video. So as advertisers struggle to reach potential consumers, they’re

increasingly turning to product placement, spending their advertising budgets to get their ads into

media content in ways that the ads can’t be skipped. Studies have shown product placement can

increase viewer’s awareness of products and their positive attitudes toward them.

But not all product placement works as intended, and research has shown that advertisers need

to engage in delicate dance with viewers to effectively influence them. Viewers tend to be turned

off if the product placement is too obvious—as when a character in the show holds the product and

talks about it. Most viewers don’t want to be immersed ( 沉浸 ) in an intense drama only to be

reminded that they’re being targeted by corporations.

In contrast, viewers are most influenced by product placement in which the product or the brand

name is spoken by one of the characters but not shown. These pieces of product placement are more

likely to be noticed by viewers than those where products are simply shown on the screen. Also,

viewers may be more attracted to product placement that appears earlier in a show or movie.

Because they become more engaged as a movie or a show progresses. If the placement at the climax

—the moment when their attention is fixed on what will happen next—they’re either less likely to

notice the placement or more likely to be annoyed by it if they do notice it.

With increasing online viewers and better designed product placement, perhaps advertisers will

consider product placement as their first choice. After all, it’s incredibly effective at getting the

targeted audience interested without influencing their viewing experience.

12.What can we know about product placement?

A. It’s still popular nowadays. B. It first appeared in TV shows.

C. It was overlooked in the 1890s. D. It aims to make videos interesting.

13.What’s the advantage of product placement to advertisers over traditional ads?

A. It has a lower price.

B. It’s more interesting.

C. It’s less likely to be ignored by viewers.

D. It makes advertisers understand customers well.

14.What does the underlined part “be turned off” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Gain satisfaction. B. Get confused. C. Feel funny. D. Lose interest.

15.What can be a suitable title for the text?
