11、uct? These endorsementsmight not be totally random, and are actually seen as a vital part of the marketing process. The question is: How do social media influencers influence what you buy?Human desire for status and making friends, combined with our need to belong to a group, make us susceptible to

12、being socially influenced. Companies often use that desire to have a similar lifestyle to a celebrity we admire to hawk or launch a product. So, what do these endorsements actually do?Firstly, they can be used to build brand awareness. A social media influencer should have a strong understanding of

13、the platform they operate on, and therefore can create engaging content that not only sticks to the brand image, but arouses their followers interests in a product they might never have seen before. Secondly, influencers can improve a company or products relationship with their customer base. Accord

14、ing to In Moments 2018 US Retail CX Trends Report on customer loyalty, 77% of buyers have been brand loyal for more than ten years. This is also true of 60% of millennials. Popular celebrity can target key customers and talk or blog about a product, which can create an instant and lasting bond with

15、the consumer.Lastly, influencers can improve customer buying habits with seemingly unbiased opinions. We are more likely to respond to peer recommendation than traditional ads, meaning the fact that we see an influencer as a friend can make us less likely to be sceptical about what we are seeing. So

16、, the next time you see a celebrity talking about a product, you might want to consider that this could be a carefully crafted marketing strategy designed to target your core needs. If you find yourself carefully reading a product youve seen on social media, you may well have been influenced.24. Why

A. know how to use the platform they are working on.B. are internet celebrities C. have used the products themselves D. are involved in the making of the products25.

20、d refusing to work, marry and have children, concluded as a “lying down” lifestyle, recently struck a chord with many young Chinese who are eager to take pause to breathe in this fast-paced and highly-competitive society.Many millennials(千禧一代) and generation Zs complained to the Global Times that bu

21、rdens, including work stress, family disputes (纷争) and financial strains, have pushed them “against the wall”. They said they hate the “involution (内卷),” joking that they would rather give up some of what they have than get trapped in an endless competition against peers.“Instead of always following

22、 the virtues of struggle, endure and sacrifice to bear the stresses, they prefer a temporary lying down as catharsis(宣泄) and adjustment,” said a scholar. “It is no wonder that some young people, under the growing pressures from child-raising to paying the mortgage(按揭) today, would try to live in a s

23、imple way and leave the worries behind.”Interestingly, the majority of millennials and Gen Zs reached by the Global Times, who claim to be big fans of the lying down philosophy, acknowledged that they only accept a temporary lying down as a short rest. It is true that with the great improvement of l

24、iving conditions, some Chinese youth have partially lost the spirit of hardship and are not willing to bear too much hard work. But in fact, lying down is not entirely comfortable. Young people who lie down always feel guilty about their constant loss of morale(士气) far beyond their reach.“Young peop

25、le on campus have both aspirations and confusion about their future, but most of us have rejected setting ourselves up in chains to waste opportunities and challenges,” a postgraduate student told the Global Times. “Its no use running away.

They would rather escape than take challenges.DShooting down an ice-covered track, a bobsled（大雪橇）can go faster than 80 miles an hour, and riders can feel force five times stronger than the pull of

29、gravity. A race can be won or lost by one hundredth of a second. How do bobsleds go faster than cars on a highway? The answer is a combination of athletics and science.At the start of a race, the crew push their sled, building up speed before they jump in for the ride. For months before the race, th

30、e crew have built up power in their legs. The push is the crews only chance to add speed. All other work goes into keeping friction and drag(摩擦力和阻力) from slowing the sled down.The design of the sleds runners(滑板) reduces their friction with the ice. The friction of a moving runner melts a little ice

31、right under the runner, and the runner rides on that thin layer of water. The runners are rounded on the bottom. Runners that are too flat may not melt enough ice for fast ride. Runners that are too round may become too warm, softening the ice and slowing the sled down. No amount of rounding is perf

32、ect for all races because the hardness of the ice depends on the weather on race day.Bobsleds used to be open. The riders did not sit inside a hull(外壳). As the crew sped down the track，the air would create drag. Today, a sleds hull reduces drag by splitting the air in front of the sled and making it

33、 flow smoothly along the slides. As with the runners，strict rules apply to the hull. For example，no team may add any part that would create helpful air currents.Reducing friction and drag creates another challenge: high speeds. “The faster the sleds car travel on the run, the more thrilling the race

34、,” one research team wrote. “But the track must not be too fast: he crew still need to be able to reach the bottom safely.”32. Whats the text mainly about? A. The shape of the sled.B. The elements relating to the sleds speed C. The safety rules applying to the sled.D. The design of the runners.33. W

35、hat can we know from the third paragraph? A. Thin layer of water would drag the runners backward. B. The rounder the runners are, the faster the sled goes. C. Proper amount of melted ice is needed for a fast ride. D. A sleds movement has nothing to do with weather.34. What advantage does a sled with

36、 a hull have? A. Its comfortable to sit in.B. Its free from strict rules. C. It helps to create a safe ride.D. It leads to beneficial air flow.35. What is implied in the last paragraph? A. Keeping high speed is difficult.B. Safety is the most important. C. Riders desire to win is understandable.D. T
