short time we've been at sea, although we rarely meet except at meal times.
First of all, there's Dr Stone. He's a man of about sixty five, with gray hair and a friendly face. He
gave up his work a short while ago and is now traveling round the world before he retires to some quiet
country village. As a young man, he served for many years as a doctor in the Army and visited many
countries. He's told us a lot about the city to which we are going.
Then there's "Grandmother". I call her that because her name escapes me. In spite of being a
grandmother, she looks rather young, not more than fifty, She's on her way to visit a daughter who went
to Australia some years ago. Naturally she is very excited at the thought of seeing her again, and her
three grandchildren, whom she has never seen.
Then there's a man I don't care for very much, an engineer by the name of Barlow. He has been on
leave in England and is now returning to his work in Singapore.
The other person who sits at our table is Mrs. Hunt. I've found out hardly anything about her. She's
extremely quiet and rarely talks, except to consult (咨询) the doctor about children's various illness.

| 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.
