Advertising in America offers some great advantages to consumers. For example, in order to keep prices low through mass production, companies must have a mass market for their products. Mass advertising creates mass markets. Producers cannot afford to develop new products, put them on the market and wait for customers to discover them. This would take too long. Demand for some products must be created. This is done through advertising.
　　But advertising sometimes makes it difficult for consumers to make wise decisions. The fact is that when people are constantly flooded with messages through the mass media persuading them to buy particular products, many respond by buying them.
　　Advertising is designed to influence an individual to buy a product. Sellers often study human behavior to discover what will convince consumers to buy a certain item. This reason for buying is called a buying motive.
　　Buying motives are usually broken down into two categories: rational and emotional. Rational buying motives include the desire to save money, the desire for comfort, or the desire for good workmanship. Emotional buying motives include buying out of fear, wanting to be liked, and wanting to have something better than your friends have.
　　Emotional appeals are found in most consumer advertising today. Certain cars promise to make the driver feel "younger" and " freer". Shoes promise to make the buyer's whole life "springier". Life insurance policies promise to take the "care out of living".
　　Most consumers believe that they are not easily influenced by emotional appeals. However, corporations that sell consumer products obviously think differently. They spend many millions of dollars every day on radio, television, newspaper and magazine ads that use these appeals.

When we talk about a bad man, we like to call him a “wolf”. But is it really true that the wolf stands for devil and ugliness？

Have you read the book “The Wolf Totem” by a famous writer Jiang Rong, which tells the story of the relationship between wolves and human beings? Have you ever   41  the wolves' world? If you had, you would 　42  the wolves. In the book, wolves are heroes on the large grassland. They know more about   43　than humans. They can attack lambs without disturbing their mothers. They also know how to   44　 full use of the shape of land to   45　 sheep. I believe that if wolves were humans, they would be 　46　 experts good at fighting.

The wolf is a kind of special creature that can deeply understand 　47　.Each wolf serves its group with its heart and soul. A 　48　 wolf has little power, but a pack of wolves   49　 nothing. All the wolves obey the rules. 　50　 they are defeated, they run away together. It is their teamwork   51　 makes wolves powerful.

The wolves also have great self respect and won't 　52　 to anyone. The writer, who wrote the book “The Wolf Totem”, 　53　 stole a one-month-old baby wolf and raised it very carefully. To his 　54　, he found the little wolf still wanted to go back with   55　 wolves. He bit through the iron chain that limited him. The wolf was   56　 and he never gave in, fighting 　57　 his death. The little wolf died as a glorious fighter.

I was shocked by this kind of 　58　 wolves are one of the most respected creatures on the earth. I want everyone to look at wolves in a 　59　 way. They are our teachers. They show us how to survive and 　60　 in this not simple but dangerous world. Please honor the wolves, please honor all these heroes of nature!
