26、Forget Miami, Los Angeles and New York. The next big Latin music explosion is on its way in secondary markets across the United States, and the numbers are there to back it up. Among all genres（种类）,Latin music was the only one registering growth in 2005. From tiny Vero Beach in northern Florida to Des Moines, Iowa, in the heart of the Midwest, from Charlotte, N. C．to Salt Lake City, Latin music sales are skyrocketing.

Wilson says there are two major reasons for the increase. One is simply the Hispanic（说西班牙语国家的） population's increase in specific areas, which encourages stores to carry Latin product for the first time. Second, and perhaps more important, is the fact that major companies—whether dealing in music or not—are addressing the Latin consumer at a corporate （公司的） level, creating Latin departments and hiring Latin ad agencies. One of Handleman's suburban Detroit stores, for example, has expanded its Latin section four times in the last two years. Cities like Milwaukee and Des Moines are now stocking Latin product.

Besides, it also results from economic development. It goes something like this: More often than not, a city or country with a seeming important Hispanic population will suddenly expand its construction or offer affordable housing to those working in larger, neighboring cities. This attracts lower-income workers, many of whom are Latin. Small shops and groceries begin to stock a small selection of music．When the Latin population numbers reach a critical mass, the local mass merchant, if there is one, begins stocking the product. Sooner or later, a local radio station follows; first AM, then FM. Sometimes it's a cable TV show or a small TV station.

Of course, there are other driving forces that should not be forgotten, for example, regional Mexican music．

A．that more and more Americans like Latin music

     B．what makes Latin music develop fast in American market

     C．why Latin music becomes Americans' favorite music

     A．changing very quickly                            B．disappearing slowly

     C．recovering slowly                               D．increasing very quickly

①economic development           ②more Latin workers

③shops' stock of Latin music         ④local radio station

⑤small TV station                 ⑥the development of Latin music

4．Suppose that passage doesn't finish, which of the following may be discussed next?

A．The variety of Latin music in America．

B．The economic development in Hispanic area．

       During the recent milk crisis in China, different related parts of the society have been put under the microscope, including stars.

       An online survey asked if celebrity spokespersons should bear responsibility for endorsing (代言) tainted milk products. Thirty-four percent answered “yes”. They said that the celebrities had betrayed the trust of the people and should be more morally responsible.

       They are right. But what’s more important is that we should train ourselves to be wise enough not to blindly accept what is being sold, even by our favorite stars.

       No doubt television advertisements, together with other media products, inform and entertain us. But, too often, there are hidden messages in the information we receive. The songs we hear, the images we see, and the articles we read, are carefully selected to convey political, cultural, economic and moral messages. The mass media delivers us these messages in an attempt to persuade us into believing or buying whatever is being pushed.

       The question is: should we always believe what the advertisement or mass media says? The answer is that we should use our minds to dig out the hidden meaning and rely on our own judgment to make a choice.

       In some countries, students take a course called “media literacy”. They learn to analyze the mass media. They are encouraged to challenge everything they see or hear and to do research into missing views. They learn to ask questions and to be critical (批判性的) thinkers.

1．What does the underlined word “tainted” in the second paragraph probably mean?

    A．Popular.             B．Healthy.              C．Tasteless.           D．Harmful.

2．The writer mentioned celebrity spokespersons to         .

       A．point out the shortcomings of advertisements

       B．call on us to think more about the product

       C．warn us not to blindly copy popular stars

       D．stress that they are to blame for misleading

3．What can we conclude from Paragraph 4?

       A．The media products are created with a purpose.

       B．We should take media products as entertainment.

       C．Messages in products do no good to customers.

       D．We seldom take some information for granted.

4．To think critically, we need to do the following except         .

       A．making judgment about what we see and hear

       B．analyzing the intention of messages presented

       C．making a decision after asking for others’ opinion

       D．digging out the missing views behind the information
