If you turn the pages of a newspaper or magazine, again you find an advertisement. If you walk down the street, you see one

19、advertising board after another. All day, every day, people who want to sell you 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, radio stations a

20、re 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 que

21、stion. 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 describe it in this way: Advertising is the paid, nonpersonal, and usually persuasive description of goods,

22、 services and ideas by identified sponsors（明确的出资者） 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 nonpersonal. It is not face-to-face communication. Although you may feel

23、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 tells people to do something. All advertisements try to make people believe that the product, idea, or service

24、 advertised can do good to them. Fourth, the sponsor of the advertisement must be identified. From the advertisement, we can see if the sponsor is a company, or an organization, or an individual. Fifth, advertising reaches us through traditional and nontraditional mass media. Included in the traditi

25、onal media are newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and films. Nontraditional media include the mail, matchbox covers, and billboards.41.

28、e best title of the passage? A. The history of advertisement. B. What is advertisement? C. Who sponsors the advertisement? D. Where can we see advertisement?B“Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity,” said the American talk show host Oprah Winfrey. Ive never watched her show, but when a

29、self-made billionaire gives life advice, its probably worth listening to.Her point is that blind luck is very rare. You may have to be lucky to find a good job these days but that does not mean you should sit at home waiting for the opportunity to come to you. If youre a Chinese, you may already be

30、familiar with the tale of a farmer waiting by a tree stump（树桩） for a rabbit to run out and break its neck.A book by the UK psychologist Richard Wiseman, called The Luck Factor, argues we can all make ourselves luckier. Its not about going to a temple to burn some incense（香） in hopes that the gods wi

31、ll give you good fortune; its practical advice you can follow each day.Wiseman conducted an experiment as part of his studies. First he divided volunteers into two groups: those who said they were lucky in life and those said they were not. He gave everyone a newspaper and asked them to look through

32、 it to count how many photographs it had inside. On average, the unlucky people took about two minutes to count the photographs while the lucky people took just seconds. Why? On the second page of the newspaper, a command, “Stop counting. There are 43 photographs in this newspaper” was written in bi

33、g letters. The unlucky people mostly did not spot the message.Its easy to compare this situation to a young person looking for jobs in a local paper. They might search so hard for one type of position that they miss an even better opportunity. People who are “lucky”, in fact, keep an open mind and d

34、ont go through the same routine every day.I first came to China in 2002 when it was considered a rather strange thing to do. Like many foreigners, my plan was to teach English for one year. Seven years later, and still here, Ive had many great opportunities such as writing for newspapers and magazin

35、es. I did not dream these would have been possible. Ive also never been sick, had an accident, got into a fight or had problems with the police. Coincidence? After reading about Professor Wisemans studies I think not.As Wiseman advises, I usually trust my own judgment. Your friends and parents may g

36、ive you advice based on rational thinking, but its important to consider how you feel about each choice you make. Your feeling acts a warning for a potential problem.Finally, try to turn bad luck into good. Even if you do fall down and break a leg, the time spent at home can be used wisely to study
