infected with the deadly foot-and-mouth disease,Nov. 2 2010,Thursday. People fear that livestock
farms in other parts of the country could be hit by the virus soon.
On Monday,the disease was first detected on two pig farms in Andong,about half a year after
the last disease broke out in Korea. A cattle farm in the area also fell victim to the animal disease
the following day.
The Ministry for Food,Agriculture,Forestry and Fisheries made sure that three more cases of
foot-and-mouth disease appeared on Thursday and decided to kill all the animals at the farms and
others at nearby places to stop the spread of the virus to other regions. Over 800 cows and pigs
within a 500 meter range of the infected farms were killed and buried underground.
"Three suspected cases were reported Wednesday,near the pig farms where the first outbreak
was reported. The laboratory tests today showed that all three cattle farms were infected with the
disease," a ministry official said. Two newly infected cattle farms were less than 4 kilometers away
from the two pig farms,while the third one was only 2. 5 kilometers away.
The ministry also said another cattle farm in Andong reported suspected cases of foot-and-mouth
disease on its livestock Thursday,indicating the disease will likely continue to spread across the city
and possibly beyond.
The government has culled more than 33,000 animals near the affected farms Monday alone under
its disease prevention program. Additionally,all 84 livestock markets across the nation were closed
Wednesday for a period to prevent spread of the disease.

| 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.
