important and that it was never too early to think about your life's work. Most of the young boys really
were not too sure about what they wanted to be. But I knew exactly what I wanted to be, and when Mrs
Bolt asked me, I replied "A truck driver."
"A truck driver?" repeated Mrs Bolt. "Why do you want to be one,Tom?"
"Because truck drivers are always on the move. They do not have to sit at desks all day. They are out
on the road and they see a lot of the countries. The pay is good, too. And they never have any homework."
The class laughed.
"Well, Tom," answered Mrs Bolt. "You certainly sound quite enthusiastic (热情的). I guess that you
don't like sitting at a desk or doing homework.Is that correct, Tom?"
"Yes, I guess so," I said.
"Well, since you are so interested in becoming a truck driver, I think you should look into the field a
little further. I want you to go to the library and take out a book on truck driving. And I want you to write
a paper on it and hand it in at the end of the month."

| 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.
