No, but he does have a   38  .He has nothing to do becau se the Internet is down. When he   39  up this morning, Tony was feeling   40  . He jumped out of bed full of plans for the   41  ahead. It would be a weekend like any other---a great weekend. But that was before he turned on his   42  and found he was   43  to go online. Having no Internet changes everything.

Every weekend, Tony  44  goes online to email friends, reads the   45  to keep up with what’s happening in the world and   46  a few online chess games with his cousin Helen to finish the weekend off. The perfect weekend---online!

Just as Tony is wondering how he can possibly have a normal weekend   47  the Internet, his mum walks into the   48 . “Cheer up, Tony. Don’t   49  the Internet any more, OK?” Tony makes no   50  but sighs (叹气).“Go and play chess with Helen!” Tony’s mum­  51  .

“Oh, yes! Helen   52  just around the corner. We can meet and play chess face   53  face for a change. Maybe this weekend won’t be so bad,” Tony   54  , as he walks to the phone. There is    55   without the Internet after all.

Advertising is a highly developed twentieth-century industry. The development of radio, television, cinema, magazines and newspapers has gone hand in hand with the development of advertising. Why is advertising so popular? Is it a waste of money? It has been proved again and again that repeated advertising increases product sales. Since it increases production, the price can be reduced. Therefore advertising, instead of making a product more expensive, makes it cheaper.

Advertising is now a scientific business. Once managers would say jokingly, " I know that half of what I spend on advertising is wasted, but I don't know which half." Now, all parts of an advertising program are properly measured and researched.

What makes a good advertisement? There have been major changes in advertising in the past sixty years. People read advertisements partly for information and partly for pleasure. Today's advertisements often start with a question, or a puzzle, with the purpose of attracting the reader's attention. Of course, most advertisements contain information. But this is usually contained in a text that is interesting and often funny. Humor is very important. Sometimes advertisements tell a story, or the story may be continued over a number of advertisements. However, there is a danger in this. It is possible that the reader or viewer will remember the advertisement but not the name of the product.
