Letters as a way of communication have long given way to phone calls and WeChat messages.
But a TV show, Letters Alive, is helping bring this old way to keep in touch back into the present.
Letters Alive took its idea from a UK program with a similar name, Letters Live, which was first shown in 2013. Both shows feature famous actors and actresses, but there is no gossip , no eye-catching visual effects or any regular showbiz (演藝圈) activities. Instead, it’s just one person walking up to a microphone and reading a letter.
But these are not just any letters. They are selected from a wide time span and a diverse range of subjects. There is, for example, a passionate letter that famous painter Huang Yongyu wrote to playwright Cao Yu 30 years ago to criticize his lack of creativity. There is also a heartfelt note from Spring and Autumn Period written by two ordinary young soldiers to their elder brother to report their lives in the war zone.
Every letter is like a small piece of history. By hearing them being read, it’s as if we are being sent back in time to experience a moment that we would otherwise never have had the chance to.
“Letters Live makes us pause and imagine the lives behind the letters,” UK actor Benedict Cumberbatch, one of the readers on the UK show, told The Guardian. “It allows people from all ages and all walks of life to experience a moment of time in someone else’s life for a brief moment.”
Compared to published texts, letters also come with a personal touch.
One example from Letters Live was a note of thanks from the mother of a dying child to JK Rowling, author of the Harry Potter books. It read: “Mrs Rowling, Cancer threatened to take everything from my daughter, and your books turned out to be the castle we so desperately needed to hide in.”
According to Guan Zhengwen, the director of Letters Alive, it is this kind of humanity behind every letter that strikes a chord (引發共鳴) with the audience. It is also what made the show a big hit in China ever since its first episode aired on Dec 5.
“It’s a thing of the past that entertainment shows establish themselves only with pretty faces,” Guan told Sohu News. “Showbiz is starting to switch to a focus on wisdom and intelligence.
24. What do you know about the TV show Letters Alive from this passage?
A. Any letters can be read in this TV show.
B. It is exactly the same with a UK program Letters Live.
C. The program brings the old way of writing letters back to life.
D. Much gossip of celebrities and eye-catching visual effects lie in the program.
25. What effect do letters have according to the audience?
A. They help cure a dying child of her cancer.
B. They make people forget their past experience.
C. They reflect the whole history of the world.
D. They allow people to experience others ‘life and a personal touch.
26. Why is the TV show Letters Alive very popular according to its director?
A. It features famous actors and actresses.
B. People can find many regular showbiz activities.
C. Letters have been completely replaced by phone calls and WeChat messages.
D. The humanity behind every letter makes the audience experience the same feelings as its writer.
27. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Pretty faces still play an important role in showbiz.
B. Showbiz is starting to centre on wisdom and intelligence.
C. JK Rowling provided a lot of books for a girl suffering from cancer.
D. The painter Huang Yongyu and the playwright Caoyu weren’t good friends.
C
In a foreign country, a man visited a local restaurant. He didn’t speak their language. He ordered something indecipherable off the menu. When the waiter brought him a plate of delicious looking fried noodles, he smiled and made an OK sign at the waiter with his thumb and forefinger linked in a circle. Looking angry, the waiter then picked up the dish and thrown it to his lap. What he did wrong, he wondered. Well, nothing is quite as it seems when it comes to using hand gesture in another country.
Gestures have been used to replace words in many countries, and they are often specific to a given culture. Gesture may mean something complimentary in one culture, but is highly offensive in another.
The gesture “thumb-up” is commonly misinterpreted. In English, it is popularly known as ‘thumbs up’, despite the fact that the action is commonly performed with only one hand. English-speaking Caucasians use it to signal ‘OK’, which is the same meaning as O.K. ring gesture. The two can in fact be used almost interchangeably.
Avoid using this gesture in Southern Sardina or Northern Greece unless you want to invite a fight. While American, British and Australian would use the thumb up to signal hitch-hiking to the drivers, this message will not encourage a Greek driver or motorist to stop to give them a ride.
There are no right or wrong signals, only cultural differences. Lack of cultural understanding will lead to disharmony among people from different cultures. When we know what to look for, such encounters with other cultures are actually very interesting, fascinating and fun. It is certainty a great topic to discuss over a cup of coffee and cakes.
28. What did the man in the first paragraph do wrong?
A. He misunderstood the waiter. B. He made the signal in a rude way.
C. He ordered something off the menu. D. He didn’t realize cultural differences.
29. What does the underlined word in the second paragraph mean?
A. Full of aggression. B. Full of admiration.
C. Full of complexity. D. Full of certainty.
30. What will happen if you make a thumb up toward a man in Northern Greece?
A. He will stop to give you a lift.
B. He will ask you to give him a HA.
C. He will get annoyed and fight against you.
D. He will make the same signal toward you.
31. What’s the purpose of the passage?
A. To tell stories about different cultures.
B. To advise us to have an understanding of cultural differences.
C. To explain the meaning of different gestures.
D. To persuade people from different countries to live in harmony.
D
With all the traditional media channels, including newspapers, magazines and television shows, shrinking, advertisers are worrying about how they can reach customers. Banners(橫幅) ads on our devices are ugly and disturbing. To overcome various digital problems, the ad industry has been serving up a sneaky(不光明正大的) solution: make ads look less like ads and more like the articles, videos and posts around them.
This trend, called native advertising, has taken over the Internet; even the websites such as NYTimes.com and Wall-Street.com are using it. On Facebook and Twitter, every 10th item or so is an ad; only the small subtitle “Sponsored（贊助）” appearing in light gray type tells you which posts are ads.
Won’t dressing up ads to make them look like reported articles mislead people? Sometimes, yes. An Interactive Advertising Bureau study found that only 41 percent of general news readers could tell such ads apart from real news stories. And it’s getting worse. Advertisers worry that the “Sponsored” label discourages readers from clicking, so some websites are making the labels smaller and less noticeable. Sometimes the labels disappear entirely.
At a recent talk about the difficulty of advertising in the new, small-screen world, I heard an ad manager tell an impressive story. She had gotten a musical performance – paid for by her soft drink client- perfectly inserted（插入）into a TV awards show, without any moment of blackness before or after. “It looked just like part of the real broadcast!” she recounted happily.
Look, it is great that native advertising works. But if advertisers truly believe in their material, they should have no problem labeling it as advertising.
For now native ads continue to be a fashion- with no laws governing them and no labeling standard. But that could change; the Federal Trade Commission has begun considering regulation. If the new generation of digital advertisers clean up their act according to the regulation, native ads might become more acceptable.
32. What can we learn about native ads from the text?
A. They have overcome the problems of banner ads.
B. They are clearly labeled as ads in websites.
C. They are a special type of articles.
D. They are used by all websites.
33. The ad manager’s story in Paragraph 4 is used to show_______.
A. It’s difficult to advertise in the small-screen world.
B. It’s difficult to tell native ads from what they have been inserted in.
C. It’s easy to insert ads into a TV awards show.
D. It’s easy to deal with the “Sponsored” label.
34. In the author’s view, the future of native ads is ________.
A. bright B. discouraging C. uncertain D. time-dependent
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. How to advertise in the digital age. B. Difficulties facing native ads.
C. Truth in digital advertising. D. What native ads are?
