should always be set apart for the future. The person who spends more than he earns, is a fool.
The next rule is to pay necessary money. 2______ The person who spends more than he earns tends to
get cheated; and if he often does so, he will easily get dishonest.

will be balanced. 3______

ought not to spend more than one half, and save the rest. This is perhaps too exact. He himself didn't follow
his own advice. That depends on circumstances.
Wherever there is a large family, the more money that is put to one side and saved, the better. Economy
is necessary to the rich, as well as to the comparatively poor man. 4______ If he spends all that he earns, he
can help nobody. He cannot properly educate his children, nor put them in the way of starting fairly in the

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.
