this problem, it is recommended that a big part of the government's health budget be used for health
education and disease prevention instead of treatment. Actually, many kinds of diseases are preventable
in many ways and preventing a disease is usually much cheaper than treating it. For example, people
could avoid catching a cold if they dressed warmly when the weather starts getting cold. But many
people get sick because they fail to do so, and have to spend money seeing a doctor.
Daily habits like eating more healthy food would have kept millions of families from becoming
bankrupt if the patients had taken measures for early prevention. For instance, keeping a balanced diet,
such as not consuming too much animal fat and insuring a steady intake of vegetables and fruits, seems
to be quite important.
One very effective and costless way of prevention is regular exercise, which is necessary for a healthy mind and body. Regular exercise, such as running, walking, and playing sports is a good way to make
people feel better or reduce stress.
In addition, health education plays a key role in improving people's health. By giving people more
information about health, countries could help people understand the importance of disease prevention
and ways to achieve it. For example, knowing one's family medical history is an effective way to help
keep healthy. Information about health problems among close relatives will make them aware of what
they should do to prevent certain diseases through lifestyle changes, which will work before it is too
late.
However, stressing disease prevention does not mean medical treatment is unimportant. After all,
prevention and treatment are just two different means toward the same effect. In conclusion, we could
save money on health care and treat patients more successfully if our country spends more money on
health prevention and education.

| 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.
