of its name. They're actually a member of the raccoon (浣熊) family which you can tell if you look at their
appearance.
The Red Panda has a long bushy tail that is useful in two ways. It helps them stay balanced when they are
high up in the trees and it keeps them warm in cold weather. Their fur is thick and reddish brown, which may
be why they're known as the firefox. The Red Panda can be found in forested mountains. They're originally
from the forested mountain in the Himalayas in India, Nepal and southern China. Bamboo is the most important
part of their diet. They only eat the young leaves and shoots of a bamhoo plant. Red Pandas have a very low
metabolic rate (代谢率) in order to deal with their low energy diet and cool environmental temperatures.
They're very shy and gentle and don't hang around the wild too much during the day. If they feel endangered,
they'll stand on their back legs and make a hissing (嘶嘶的) sound. Red Pandas are good climbers and spend
most of their time living mainly in trees. Their claws are very strong and help them hold onto the branches.
They sleep in an unusual way by curling up tightly and wrapping their tail around their head while sitting on a
branch. Sometimes they'll sleep with their head beneath their chest and behind their back feet. This is the same
position as an American raccoon sleeps.

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.
