When you watch television, you hear and see an advertisement. If you turn the pages of a newspaper or magazine, again you find an advertisement. If you walk down the street, you see one advertisement board after another. All day, every day, people who want to sell something compete to catch your attention. As a result, advertisements are almost everywhere.In the West, advertisements are the fuel that makes mass media work. Many TV stations, newspapers, magazines, and radio stations are privately owned. The government does not give them money. So where does the money come from? From advertisements. Without advertisements, there would not be these private businesses.Have you ever asked yourself what advertising is? Through the years, people have given different answers to the question. For some time it was felt that advertising was a means of “keeping your name before the public.” And some people thought that advertising was :truth well told.” Now more and more people tend to define it in this way: Advertising is the paid, nonpersonal（非针对个人的）, and usually persuasive（有说服力的）presentation of goods, services and ideas by identified sponsors through various media.First, advertising is usually paid for. Various sponsors pay for the ads we see, read, and hear over the various media. Second, advertising is nonpersonal. It is not face-to-face communication. Although you may feel that a message in a certain advertisement is aimed directly at you, in reality, it is directed at large groups of people. Third, advertising is usually persuasive. Directly or indirectly it urges people to do something. All advertisements try to convince people that the product, idea, or service advertised can benefit them. Fourth, the sponsor of the advertisement must be identified. From the advertisement, we can see if the sponsor is a corporation, or a committee, or an individual. Fifth, advertising reaches us through traditional and non-traditional mass media. Included in the traditional media are newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and films. Non-traditional media include the mail, matchbox covers, and billboards.1. The existence of the privately owned mass media depends financially on the support of_________.A. the governmentB. their owners’ familiesC. advertisementsD. the audience2. The passage seems to say that different definitions of advertising are given due to ________.A. the change of timeB. the subject of the advertisementsC. people’s age differenceD. people’s different perspective3. According to the passage, who are most probably paying for the advertisements?A. Corporations.B. Committees.C. Individuals.D. All of the above.4. Which of the following is considered nontraditional mass media?A. Newspapers.B. The mail.C. Magazines.D. Films.5. According to the passage, which of the following statements about the features ofadvertisements is NOT true?A. Advertising must be honest and amusing.B. Advertising is meant for large groups of people.C. There is a description of things advertised.D. The sponsors are always mentioned.Who doesn’t love sitting beside a fire on a cold winter night? Fire is one of man’s greatest friends, but it is also one of his greatest enemies. Most big fires are caused by carelessness. A lighted cigarette thrown out of a car or train window, or a broken bottle lying on dry grass can start a fire. Sometimes, a fire may even start on its own. Wet hay can begin burning by itself. This is how it happens: the hay starts to rot and begins to give off heat which is dept inside it. Finally, it bursts into flames. That’s why farmers cut and store their hay when it is dry.Fires have destroyed whole cities. In the 17th century, a small fire which began in a baker’s shop burnt down nearly every building in London. Moscow was set on fire during the war against Napoleon. This fire continued burning for seven days. Even today, in spite of modern fire-fighting methods, fire causes millions of pounds’ worth of damage each year both in our cities a nd in the countryside. It has been wisely said that fire is a good servant but a bad master.6. We like fire because_________.A. it gives us enough energyB. it is our greatest friendC. it can serve us in many waysD. it has beautiful flames7. Most big fires break out because ________.A. some criminals want to harm peopleB. people are not always very carefulC. too many people smoke cigarettesD. they can start on their own8. Hay can start burning by itself only when _________.A. it rotsB. it becomes dryC. there is a broken bottle lying on itD. it is stored in large quantities9.
