TV. Still more ads! Everywhere you look, someone has something to sell. Here are some ways get us to
buy.
Some ads use famous people. Stars are paid to sell a product. Think about it. Do they really know
about medicine? Do they know about soft drink? These people may be famous. But they may not know
about what they are selling.
Some ads make you think you"re getting the words of an expert (专家). A man in a white coat comes
on TV. He looks nice. "I use White and Black," he says. This man looks like a doctor. But he is an actor.
He has been paid to sell this product.
Does soap (肥皂) have anything to do with a pretty child? Not much. But ads may show their products
with something nice, such as the sun, the flowers and so on. Such an ad is about feelings rather than facts.
Ads are full of strong words. Words like"new" and"improved" have power (力量). They can help a
product sell. The soap may be called "Spring Rain". A car may be called "Tiger". Strong words work on
our feelings.
Some ads make promises (承诺). But can they keep them? No.
Some ads use our fear of being too late. "Buy now!" they say, "Selling ends soon." Check to see if this
is true. Don"t hurry. Take time to think.
All ads hope we will buy some thing, do something, or think in a certain way. Know what ads are doing.
Ask questions to yourself. Don"t let their words and pictures fool you.
[ ]
B. in magazines
C. in newspapers
D. all the above

the kind of clothes you really need, then look for those clothes on sale. There are labels (标签) inside all
new clothes. The labels tell you how to take care of your new clothes. The label for a shirt may tell you to
wash it in warm water. A sweater label may tell you how to wash in cold water. The label on a coat says
"dry clean only" Washing may ruin (损坏) this coat. If you do as the directions (说明) say on the label,
you can keep your clothes looking their best.
Many clothes today must be dry cleaned. Dry cleaning is expensive. When buying new clothes, check
to see if they will need to be dry cleaned. You will save money if you buy clothes that can be washed. You
can save money if you buy clothes that are well made. Well-made clothes last longer. They look good even
after they have been washed many times. Clothes that cost more money are not always better made. They
do not always fit better, Sometimes less expensive clothes look and fit better than more expensive clothes.

Do you have things that your family no longer uses? Things like old toys, clothes or TVs? In Britain, people collect things and sell them in a garage or yard. People often hold these sales at the weekend. They put up an ad before the day. Then on the day they put out all the old things in front of their house. Usually these things are cheap. These sales are a good way for people to clean up their houses. Instead of just throwing things away, people can make a little bit of money from them. Sometimes if the things are very old, people will give them to charity. Some kids sell their old toys. Perhaps they played a game many times and now it bores them. With the money they can buy a new toy! |
