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 advertising board after another. All day, every day, people whowant 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 are privately owned. The government does not endorse them. So where does the money come from? From advertisements. Without advertisements, there would be no 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 yo ur name before the public”, and some people thought that advertising was “truth well told”. Now, more and more people perceive it in this way: advertising is the paid, non-personal, and usually persuasive presentation of goods, services and ideas by some certain sponsors through various media.First, advertising is usually paid for. Various sponsors pay for the advertisements we see, read, and hear over 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 sponsors of the advertisement must show their names. From the advertisement, we can see if the sponsor is a company, or an individual. Fifth, advertising reaches us through traditional and modem mass media. Included in the traditional media are newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and films. Modern media include emails, matchbox covers, and boards on top of buildings.Comprehension Questions:Choose the best answer for the following questions.1.

Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways — education, medicine, and business. Quietly the graying of America. has made us a very different society — one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages.A person’s age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position, marriage or he alth. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t as strong as it used to be. I t doesn't surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public notions are changing.Many people say, "I am much younger than my mother — or my father — was at my age." No one says "act your age" anymore.
