问答题During the whole of a dull, dark, and soundless day in the autumn of the year, when the clouds hung oppressively low in the heavens, I had been passing alone, on horseback, through a singularly dreary tract of country; and at length found myself, as the shades of the evening drew on, within view of the melancholy House of Usher. I know not how it was--but, with the first glimpse of the building, a sense of insufferable gloom pervaded my spirit. I say insufferable; for the feeling was unrelieved by any of that haft-pleasurable, because poetic, sentiment, with which the mind usually receives even the sternest natural images of the desolate or terrible. I looked upon the scene before me--upon the mere house, and the simple landscape features of the domain--upon the bleak walls--upon the vacant eye-like windows--upon a few rank sedges--and upon a few white trunks of decayed trees--with an utter depression of soul which I can compare to no earthly sensation more properly than to the after-dream of the reveller upon opium--the bitter lapse into every-day life--the hideous dropping off of the veil. There was an iciness, a sinking, a sickening of the heart--an unredeemed drearineas of thought which no goading of the imagination could torture into aught of the sublime.

问答题Exercise, everyone advises ! But immediately, when you try, you run into trouble. 61) There is so much contradictory, sometimes incorrect advice about exercising that you become confused. Test yourself on the following true-false quiz. It will tell you need to know. 1. The best way to reduce the mid-section is to do abdominal exercise. False. Many people believe that when specific muscles are exercised, the fatty tissues in the immediate area are" burned up. "62 )The truth is that exercise burns fat from all over the body and not from one specific area, regardless of the type of exercise. Of course, if you reduce the fat throughout your body, you will certainly see results around your waistline too! 2. To maintain an adequate level of physical fitness, you need to exercise only twice a week. False. Studies conducted by NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, show that unexercised muscles lose their strength very quickly. After 48 to 72 hours, you must use the muscles again to re-establish the good physical effect. And what does that mean to you? 63) NASA scientists concluded that while daily exercise is most beneficial, three alternation days each week will maintain an adequate level of physical fitness. 3. To lose weight you should always" work up a good sweat" when exercising. False. Sweating only lowers body temperature to prevent overheating; it does not help you reduce. You may weigh less immediately after a workout, but this is due to water loss. Once you replace the liquid, you replace the weight. 4.

There are more than 400 muscles that attach to your skeleton. 65) A good exercise routine should contract and stretch all these muscles, and this simply cannot be done with four or five exercises in five or ten minutes. From experience, I'vr found that about 20 minutes is the minimum amount of time needed for an adequate workout.

Marketers have used celebrities from time to time to endorse their products. A well-known celebrity can at the very least draw the consumers" attention to a particular product or brand, as when comedian Jerry Seinfeld appears in American Express ads. Or the celebrity" mystique can transfer over to the brand—supermodel Cindy Crawford in an ad for Revlon"s Beautifying Shampoo. Or the celebrity"s expertise and authority transfers to the brand—Michael Jordan endorsing Nike"s Air Jordan basketball shoes. The choice of celebrity is critical. The celebrity should have a high positive affect and high appropriateness to the product. Sylvester Stallone has high recognition and has high a positive affect but he might not be appropriate for advertising a World Peace Conference. Athletes are a particularly effective endorsing group, especially for athletic products, beverages, and apparel. Many famous athletes are well-known endorsers for a great variety of products or commodities. One of advertisers" main worries is that their celebrity endorsers will get mixed up in a notorious scandal or in an embarrassing situation. There was the case of Michael Jackson—Pepsi dropped dramatically in the wake of his child-molestation charges. When actor James Garner encountered well-publicized heart problems, his illness did not reflect well on the beef industry, which he had been promoting. Perhaps due to the frequency of celebrity scandals, insurers are now offering to protect advertisers against such risks. One insurance company has begun offering advertisers "death, disablement and disgrace" insurance to cover the failings and foibles of their celebrity endorsers. Alternatively, advertisers can choose not to use real, live fallible humans to endorse their products, but opt for "spokes characters" instead. For example, Owens-Coring Company has used the Pink Panther for nearly 15 years to endorse its pink-colored insulation products. Images projected by cartoon characters and beloved animals don"t deviate from one moment to the next, and companies have more control over them.
