strong resistance from some people against having women in space. However, some women were very keen
to become astronauts and in the end they were successful. In 1978, NASA began the first training programme
for women astronauts.
Judy Resnick and Christa McAuliffe were both astronauts and they were both women, but in many other
ways they were very different. Both of them were on Flight STS-5L-L. Judy Resnick was born in 1949 and
studied engineering at university and went on to obtain a PhD in 1977. She was a member of the first group
of women selected for astronaut training in 1978, and in 1984, she became the second woman in space.
During that flight, she helped to launch three new satellites and she carried out a programme of research. She
was, in many ways, a professional astronaut whose whole life was devoted to space travel.
Christa McAuliffe was born in 1948 and she was an astronaut almost by accident. In 1984, NASA decided
to find a teacher who could accompany (go with sb. esp. on a journey ) astronauts into space. They hoped
that she would be able to communicate with students from space and encourage every one of them to be
interested in space travel. Christa was a secondary teacher in history and social studies. She was a gifted
teacher and she was selected from over 11,000 applicants to go on flight STS-51-L. She was also a very good
communicator and she immediately established (set up) a very good relationship with the news media (radio,
television and newspapers). It was partly because of this that there was a great deal of interest and excitement
about the flight. Thousands of students in schools and universities all around the country were looking forward
to communicating with Christa in space. Millions of people were watching her flight with great interest. It is
partly because of the excitement over McAuliffe's place in the flight that the disaster in 1986 had such an effect
on people.

| 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.
