down a hill, and collided with a tree. When we heard the wreck, I remembered to say "call 199". My family
was the first on the scene. Nick, my son, was on the cell phone with 911. He saw a friend who was a victim
in the crash who was a 15 years old girl who was badly disfigured and had died instantly. It was a terrible
scene.
There had been six people in the truck, all between 15 and 17 years old. My husband and I checked all the
victims, and I picked one who was conscious and stayed with him. I talked with him and had him lay on the
ground. When I asked him if he was hurt, he said he was sore all over. When help arrived, they asked me to
stay and continue working with them. I did as Debbie Romine,.my instructor, said in class, and did what they
wanted. They even said thank you before they left.
The sheriff deputies came by Saturday night to get our statements and play the 911 tape back, so Nick
could identify all the voices in the background. They said over and over that the way he handled the call was
the best they had heard in a long time. He was calm and worked with them even when he saw his friend who
had died. The Sheriff's Department is sending some people over to help us work through our emotions.
The first aid and CPR course I took in January really helped me. I just didn't expect to put it to good use
so soon.

| Advertising is a form of communication that uses all kinds of media, and is visible everywhere these days. Typical customers of advertising companies are other companies, or businessmen, who want to persuade potential customers to buy more of what they make or sell. But there are other kinds of customers. Some organizations spend large sums of money on advertising a political party or other group that sells what is not, strictly speaking, a product or service. Such non - profit organizations are not typical advertising customers, and they prefer ways of spreading knowledge, changing attitudes, and improving society. Many advertisements are designed to increase sales of products and services by either improving brand image or, in the case of non - profit organizations, expressing ideas. In order to achieve th~s, advertisements will often pass on truthful information while delivering their messages. Every major medium is a means of delivering these messages, including television, radio, cinema, magazines, newspapers, video games, the Internet and billboards (大幅广告牌). Advertising will usually be created and. placed by an advertising agency on behalf of company or other organization. Spending on advertising has increased greatly in recent years. In 2006, spending was estimated at $155 billion in the United States and $385 billion worldwide; the latter is expected to reach more than $500 billion by 2010. While advertising can be seen as a necessity for economic growth and social development, it is not without social costs. Advertisement emails and other forms of junk mail have become so popular that ~they have become a major burden to users of I nternet email services, as well as a financial burden on Internet email service providers.
