simulation happens repeatedly. However, if this inner speech is disturbed, for instance during chewing gum or whispering another word, the repetition effect vanishes. An interesting experiment was conducted in movie theaters. 96 participants were invited to a real movie theater and were presented a block of commercials and a movie later on. Half of the participants received popcorn to eat. For them, the mouth was occupied with chewing the popcorn so the mouth muscles could not engage in inner speech when watching the ads for the novel brands. The other half of the participants only received a small sugar cube, which dissolved quickly in their mouth so that the mouth muscles were free to simulate the pronunciation of the brand names. The participants were invited to the lab one week after the cinema session. They were presented with images of products. Half of these products had been advertised in the cinema session; the other half were completely novel products. Participants were asked to indicate the products that they liked, and their physiological(生理的) responses were measured. Those participants who had only received a sugar cube proved that there was a clear advertising effect. They preferred advertised novel products and also showed positive physiological responses of familiarity for advertised products. However, those participants who had eaten popcorn while watching the commercials one week before showed no such advertising effect. 67. Why does the author mention Yahoo and Google in Paragraph One? A. To remind readers of brand names. B. To prove the influence of repetition. C. To compare the effects of two brands. D. To draw readers? attention to the research.
68. What does the underlined word “vanish” probably mean?
A. Disappear. B. Improve. C. Reduce. D. Occur. 69. One week after the cinema session, the participants who ate sugar cube __________. A. held positive attitude toward movies B. showed preference for advertisements C. tended to choose the advertised products D. felt familiar with the commercials and the movies 70. Where is the passage likely to have been taken from? A. A psychological report. B. An entertainment website. C. A commercial advertisement. D. A popular science magazine.

Carbon Footprint
While making visits to national parks or forest preserves, you?ll often be told to leave nothing but footprints. 71 One is your physical footprint. The other is what is known as your carbon

footprint. 72 Often people consider their carbon footprint to be the result of their immediate use of fossil fuels and energy usage, like cooking with natural gas or using petro to run their automobile. 73 This may include the fossil fuels used to transport the food that you buy at your local grocery store, or the energy used to deal with the waste produced in your household.
Taking small steps to reduce your carbon footprint and saving energy is actually fairly simple. 74 It requires the burning of fossil fuels to make the bottle, transport it, and get rid of it if it?s not recycled. Compared with it, in-house filtration(过滤) systems can reduce your influence and cost for water.
Unplugging appliances that are not frequently in use is another way to reduce your carbon footprint. Most of these items have a standby mode (待机模式) that wastes energy even when they?re not in use. 75 What is more, new energy efficient light bulbs, filters, and appliances could also help reduce your carbon footprint.
In a word, less energy used means less greenhouse gas produced. With easy steps, you are on your way to reducing the size of the carbon footprint left behind.
A. What fossil fuels may lead to carbon footprints?
B. However, wherever we go, we actually leave two sets of footprints.
C. Cutting off power is the best way to ensure that unnecessary energy is not lost. D. For instance, the use of bottled water leaves a rather significant carbon footprint. E. We often forget footprints sometimes consequently do harm to the environment. F. However, your carbon footprint consists of many activities that can be far less obvious. G. That refers to the level of greenhouse gases your lifestyle and activity produce and send out.
