critics (批评家) seem to hate them because they think this entirely unproductive industry should absorb
millions of pounds each year. Why don't they stop advertising and reduce the price of their goods?
The poor consumer (消费者)! He'd have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn't create mass markets
for products. It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap. But we get
the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods. Another equally important function
is to inform. A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods comes largely from the
advertisements we read. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones
we already know about.
Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements, but this claim (说法) may be seriously doubted.
It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days. And what fun they often are, too! Just think what a
railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements. Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall or
reading railway bylaws while waiting for a train? Would you like to read only closely printed columns of news
in your daily paper?
We must not forget, either, that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets. Newspapers,
commercial radio and television companies could not exist without this source of revenue (税收). The fact
that we pay so little for our daily paper, or can enjoy so many broadcast programmes is due entirely to the money
spent by advertisers. Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price!
B. Advertisements keep the consumers fully informed of the goods.
C. Advertisers perform a useful service to the public.
D. Advertisements make the goods more expensive.
B. optimistic.
C. negative.
D. dissatisfactory
B. Because advertisement is a"waste of money".
C. Because customers are encouraged to buy more than necessary.
D. Because advertisements often misunderstand consumers.
B. We can buy what we want thanks to advertisements.
C. Good quality products don't need to be advertised.
D. In terms of money, we benefit a lot from the advertisements.

The poor old consumer! He'd have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn't create mass markets
for products. It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap. But we
get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods. Another equally important

advertisements we read. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of
ones we already know about. Supposing you wanted to buy a washing machine, it is more than likely you
would obtain details regarding performance, price, etc., from an advertisement.

difference to a dull wall or a newspaper full of the incidents and disasters.

Another thing we mustn't forget is the "small ads." What a tremendously useful service they perform for
the community! Just about anything can be accomplished through these columns. For instance, you can
find a job, buy or sell a house, announce a birth, marriage or death in what used to be called the "hatch,
match and dispatch" column (栏目) but by far the most fascinating section is the personal or "agony"
column. No other item in a newspaper provides such entertaining reading or offers such a deep insight into
human nature. It's the best advertisement for advertising there is!
