     Though we are fully aware {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the artful devices of a toothpaste company, we enjoy the color and pictorial values that we see.

    Some of   {#blank#}7{#/blank#} best advertisements have even woninternational praise.

    The present age is an age of advertisement. All big and small companies depend on some kind of techniques{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(catch) a market for their products.

    Once upon a time, a powerful king commanded his men {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (build) a public arena where crime was punished or innocence(无罪) was decided. When a person {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (accuse) of a crime, his future would be judged in the public arena.

    Usually the king sat high up on his chair. He gave {#blank#}3{#/blank#} sign and a door under him opened. The accused person stepped out into the arena. Opposite the king {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (be) two doors. The person on trial(审判) had to walk {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (direct) to these doors and open one of them. He could open whichever door he pleased.

The tiger immediately jumped on him and tore him into pieces as {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (punish) for his guilt. The case of the suspect was thus decided. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} , if the accused opened the other door, there came a woman. To this lady he was immediately married, in honor of his innocence.

    This was the king's method of {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (carry) out justice. Its fairness appeared perfect. The accused person could not know which door was hiding the lady. He opened either as he pleased, without knowing {#blank#}10{#/blank#} he was to be killed or married

    While thousands of college students headed for warm climate to enjoy sun and fun during their week off from classes, seven local students had other plans.

    The Northern Essex Community College (NECC) students and one of their teachers spent part of their spring break in New York City, helping repair an area{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (destroy) by the hurricane.

    “I wanted to see for myself what happened,” said Terry. “I couldn't imagine{#blank#}2{#/blank#}it is like to lose your home and everything that you know and the{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(power) effect the hurricane had on those people. I wanted to do something, to understand their feeling of helplessness.”

    The group headed into Brooklyn's Red Hook district, which was hit hard by the hurricane. There they met people from other parts of the country,{#blank#}4{#/blank#}had also volunteered to help. Together, those volunteers and the NECC students{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(work) to clear rubbish out of a three-story building.

    Inside the building, the students saw nothing but broken walls and doors and pieces of the building {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(lie) all over the place.
