Getting the message复习
and perhaps most important of all，advertising provides a promise of reasonable value in the products and services you buy.besides the fact that twenty seven acts of parliament(国会)govern the terms of advertising，no regular advertiser dare produce anything that fails to live up to the promise of his advertisements.he might fool some people for a little while through misleading advertising.he will not do so for long，for the public has the good sense not to buy the poor goods more than once.if you see product frequently advertised，it is the proof i know that the product does what is promised for it，and that it has good value. advertising does more for the good of the public than any other force i can think of. there is one more point i feel i ought to touch on.recently i heard a well-known television person declare that he was against advertising because it persuades rather than informs.he was telling us the real difference.0f course advertising tries to persuade.if its message were nothing but information，that would be difficult to get more people to buy，for even the choice of the color of a shirt is a bit persuasive(有说服力的)——advertising would be so boring that no one would pay any attention.but perhaps that is what the well-known television person wants.1.by the first sentence of the passage the writer means that . a. he is fairly familiar with the cost of advertising b. everybody knows well that advertising is a waste of moneyc. advertising costs more money than everything elsed. money on advertising is worth spending2.in the passage，which of the following is not included in the advantages of advertising?a. getting great fame.b. providing more jobs.c. raising living standards.d. reducing newspaper cost.3.the writer thinks that well-known tv person is a. quite right in passing his judgment on advertising b. interested in nothing but the buyers’ attention c. correct in telling the difference between persuasion and information d. obviously unfair in his views on advertising4.in the writer’s opinion， .a. advertising can seldom bring material interest to man by providing information b. advertising informs people of new ideas rather than wins them over c. there’s nothing wrong with advertising in persuading the buyer d. the buyer is not interested in getting information from an advertisement
