9、is the art of convincing someone to agree with your point of view. According to the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, there are three basic tools of persuasion: ethos, pathos, and logos.Ethos is a speakers way of convincing people that she is an honest source. For example, a speaker can develop e

10、thos by explaining how much experience or education she has in the field. After all, you would be more likely to listen to advice about how to take care of your teeth from a dentist than a firefighter. A speaker can also create ethos by convincing people that she is a good person who has their best

11、interests at heart.Pathos is a speakers way of connecting with a listeners emotions. For example, a speaker trying to convince people to vote for him might say that he alone can save the country from a terrible war. These words are intended to fill them with fear, thus making them want to vote for h

12、im. Similarly, a charity organization that helps animals might show pictures of injured dogs and cats, intended to fill the viewers with pity. If they feel bad for the animals, they will be more likely to donate money.Logos is the use of facts, statistics, or other information to make your argument

13、more convincing. An audience will be more likely to believe you if you have data to support your claims. For example, a commercial for soap might tell you that lab tests have shown that their soap kills all 7,000, 000 of the bacteria living on your hands right now. it is more convincing than simply

14、saying “our soap is the best!” Use of logos can also increase a speakers ethos. Although ethos, pathos, and logos all have their strengths, they are often most effective when they are used together. The next time you listen to a speech, watch a commercial, or listen to a friend trying to convince yo

A listener is likely to trust a speaker who uses evidence to support his argument.B. A speaker can use misleading information to convince you to trust his argument

17、.C. Logos is believed to be a better tool of persuasion compared with that of ethos.D. A person is more easily persuaded by facts than simple moving words said.24. Doing persuasion, the author probably favors the most effective tool of .A. ethos because he is experienced and knowledgeableB. pathos b

18、ecause people are emotionally persuadedC. logos because use of logos can also increase ethosD. a good combination of ethos, pathos and logosBVolunteering can make the difference in people, especially teenagers.

23、 yet we must know that we need to give back to those who have more necessary needs.Volunteering can provide job skills. Teens will be more productive after the work they have done for others.
