Reading comprehension (30 points, 3 points each) Passage A As the scholar James Twitchell observes, advertising has become “our cultural literacy—it’s what we know.” Twitchell, author of a book called Adcult USA and a professor at the University of Florida, says his students share no common culture of books or history; what they share is a knowledge of commercials. When he questions them at random about concepts from “The Dictionary of Cultural Literacy,” he says he is likely to draw a blank. When, however, he recites a commercial jingle, his students “instantaneously know it, and they’re exultant,” he says. “They actually think Benetton ads are profound. To them, advertising is high culture.”

(C) Advertising is defined as important as culture in the dictionary. (D) Advertising is so effective that university students acknowledge it better than anything else.

Passage B Those who love summer never welcome the shorter days and the lower temperatures. They might become slightly melancholy when they see the flowers of summer disappearing and the leaves falling from the trees. In most cases this is just a passing feeling, but some people are more seriously affected. Sufferers from a condition called seasonal affective disorder, for example, can easily become depressed when the amount of daylight decreases. The condition (which has the very appropriate acronym SAD) is often treated by ‘light therapy’, which means using a special lamp indoors during the winter months to simulate daylight. Some people, of course, find that this is their favorite season, maybe because they love the freshness of the air after the heat of summer, or the countless shades of red, gold and yellow in the leaves. The French philosopher Albert Camus (1913-60) showed he belonged to this group when he said ‘It is a second spring when every leaf is a flower’.
