The storm of abuse in the popular press that greeted the appearance of Webster's Third New International Dictionary is a curious phenomenon. 1       The New York Times,in a special editorial,felt that the work would "accelerate the deterioration" of the language and seriously accused the editors of betraying a public trust. The Journal of the American Bar Association saw the publication as "a serious blow to the cause of good English".

      Just what's a dictionary for? What does the common reader go to a dictionary to find?

The demands are simple. 3       He wants to know what is current and respectable. But he wants―and has a right to―the truth,the full truth. And the full truth about any language is that there are many areas in which certainty is impossible and simplification is misleading.

Even in so settled a matter as spelling,a dictionary cannot always be absolute. 4       And so are traveled and travelled,plow and plough,catalog and catalogue,and scores of other variants. The reader may want a single certainty. He may demand that the dictionary "settle" the matter. 5       And the fact here is that there are many words in our language which may be spelled,with equal correctness,in either of two ways.

But one thing is certain:anyone who seriously announces in the year 1962 that he will be guided in matters of English usage by a dictionary published in 1934 is talking ignorant and pretentious nonsense.

   A. Such evaluation requires us to examine basic principles.

   B. But this is not the concern of the dictionary's; it must record the facts.

   C. Never has a scholarly work of this importance been attacked with such extreme anger and contempt.

   D. As a reader,he wants to know what an author intended to convey.

   E. The common reader turns to a dictionary for information about the spelling,pronunciation,meaning,and proper use of words.

   F. Theater is correct,but so is theatre.

   G. The new dictionary has many faults.

When you turn on the radio,you hear an advertisement. 1       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 who want to sell you something compete to catch your attention. As a result,advertisements are almost everywhere.

2       Many TV stations,newspapers,magazines,radio stations are privately owned in the West. 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.

3       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 describe it in this way:

       Second,advertising is not 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 tells people to do something. 5       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 traditional media are newspapers,magazines,radio,television,and films. Nontraditional media include the mail,matchbox covers,and billboards (广告牌) .

   A. First,advertising is usually paid for.

   B. All advertisements try to make people believe that the product,idea,or service advertised can do good to them.

   C. Advertisements are very popular in Asian countries.

   D. When you watch television,you hear and see an advertisement.

   E. In the West,advertisements are the fuel that makes mass media work.

   F. Have you ever asked yourself what advertising is?

   G. It takes a large amount of money to produce an advertisement.
