In the West, advertisements are the fuel that makes mass media (传媒) work. Many TV stations, newspapers, magazines,radio stations are privately (私人地) 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 consider it in this way:Advertising is the paid, non-personal, and usually persuasive presentation of goods, services and ideas by some certain sponsors(发起人) through various media.
First, advertising is usually paid for. Various sponsors pay for the advertisements we see, read, and hear over the various media. Second, advertising is non-personal. 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 asks people to do something. All advertisements try to make people believe that the product, idea, or service advertised can benefit them. Fourth, the sponsots of the advertisement must show their names.From the advertisement, we can see if the sponsors is a company, or a single person. Fifth, advertising reaches us through old media and mass media. Included in the old media are newspapers, magazines, radios, televisions, and films. Modern media include emails, matchbox covers, and boards on top of buildings.

I shall never forget the day when the earthquake took place. The time was about 5 o’clock in the afternoon and I was driving along the road to take my daughter from school. Our plan was to go swimming together. I finished my work at 4 o’clock and then went to the post office. Then I stopped off at a shop in order to get some fresh fruit. We’d like to have some fruit after swimming.
I was driving along a high road on my way to my daughter’s school. Over my road was another road, which was built like a bridge for cars coming to the other way. I was hungry so I put the bag of apples in the seat beside me and started to eat one.
Suddenly I saw the cars in front of me start to move from side to side. Then my car started to shake! I didn't know what was happening.Perhaps something had gone wrong with my car. I drove more slowly and then I stopped the car and at the same moment the road fell onto the cars in front of me.
I found myself in the dark. I couldn't move. The bottom parts of both of my legs and my feet were hurting badly and I couldn't move them. All around me was quiet. But above me I could hear shouts and a lot of noise. Then I memorized what had happened. I had been in an earthquake.
For about two hours nobody came. Luckily I could reach the bag of apples, so at least I had plenty to eat. Then I heard people climbing towards me. A team of people had come to see if anyone was under the broken road. I called out, “I’m here!” when I heard a shout. Soon a stranger climbed to the side of the road near my car. “How are you doing?”he asked. “Not too bad, ”I said. “But my feet and legs feel as if they’re broken.” “We’ll have you out of there just as soon as we can.” They didn't get me out until the next morning. I had been in my car for fourteen hours.

Well, Mrs Evans, I’ve done my best to look after David. I’ve tidied his room up every day, got him a meal together whenever he needed one and made sure he’s always had a clean shirt to put on. It’s not been easy, with two of my own to worry about, as well. David had the best of attention, I must say. But now because I asked him to give up bringing that American friend to his home he has got quite miserable and unfriendly. He comes in at all hours and his behaviour―well, it’s quite hard to put up with―and it’s all because of this friend. I’m sure he’s a bad influence. You see, David’s a visitor and doesn’t fully understand our ways.
He used to study most evenings. He’s got through quite a bit of work. He did up his room quite nicely, with bookshelves and large poster. He’s asked Mr. Smith and me up for a drink and cheer us up with songs from his country. He’s very good at the guitar, you know. I don’t want to appear as if I’m running after him, but it’s about time we made it up. I’m sure he’s upset because I told him off. It might be a good idea to take him out for a meal, perhaps even with his friend. I don’t know whether it will do any good but we can try. I’m glad I’ve had this little chat with you, Mr. Evans, and I’ll let you know how I get on.

A. an American friend B. Mr. Smith’s son C. a visiting student D. a singer

Did you notice the buttons (钮扣) on the sleeves (袖子) of men’s jackets? There are many stories explaining how they came to be there.
One story is connected with Frederick the Great, who was King of Prussia in the 18th century. His armies fought in a great many battles, and he was often on the field of battle with his troops. One of his conerns (关心), as the story goes, was the appearance (外表) of his soldiers. Once as he went about inspecting his troops, he became quite upset at the dirty sleeves of their uniforms (军服). When he asked why the sleeves were dirtier than the rest of the uniforms, he was told that the soldies wiped the sweat from their faces on their sleeves.
Frederick refused to let this habit continue. So to stop it, he ordered metal (金属) buttons be sewed on the top side of all soldiers’ sleeves. That way, if the men wiped their faces using their sleeves, they would get badly scratched.
Later, there buttons were put on ordinary people’s jackets as well, but only as decoration (装饰). So if you notice button on your father’s jacket sleeves, don't think that your mother put them there to stop him from wiping his face with them. The buttons are only for decoration!
