SECTION 5：READING TEST
Section 5 Q1-3
答案：
1. What does Pete Stein mean by saying that "We're all in" (para. 1)?
Now they’re earning a share of the profit from the rejiggered site, rather than working for a fee. Therefore by saying "We're all in", Pete Stain means that if profits don’t go up, there's no way for them to get their costs paid.
2. Explain the sentence "The relationship between the cost of advertising and the resulting impact on revenue has always been tenuous." (para. 2)
For a long time, ad agencies didn’t need to care about the advertising’s impact on their revenue. Because no matter how much the advertising cost, the hefty commissions paid by media buyers would sustain ad agencies.
3. Why do advertising agencies consider new strategies? What is the new compensation structure?
Because media buyers don’t pay the hefty commissions any more, which makes ad agencies’ profit margins shrivel, so this financial pressure forces advertising agencies to consider new strategies.
The new compensation structure is bonuses tied directly to the performance of the client’s product.

今天忙里偷闲，来和大家分享一下我背单词的方法。得益于有一个英语系的老爸，我比同龄人接触英语的时间早。这么多年下来，也算形成了自己的一套方法。我要提醒大家的是，这些方法对你不一定适用，也不是说除了这些方法就背不下来单词。更重要的，方法如果不用起来，永远还只能是方法。就算是神仙教你的，你自己不去背，还是等于零。好吧，废话不多说，首先来说说哪...
