Great are the uses of advertisement! And they certainly are, both to the producer and the consumer. Of course, there is a great deal of truth in the saying that good quality and honest workmanship are the best advertisement. Of course, people know that the manufacturers would have done better if they used the money for advertising in making better products to sell. But in these days of far extended trade, there is no doubt that advertisement is necessary to make the existence of even first-class goods known. And even goods that are already well-known must still be advertised. So even well-established businesses have to spend thousands and thousands a year in advertising, or they will not sell their goods.
It is really advertisements that make newspapers possible. Great journals draw the greatest part of their profit from advertisements; and many smaller papers could not appear at all but for the income they derive from this source.
Advertisement has now become an art; and there are businesses entirely devoted to supplying firms with striking advertisements.
But advertising has its abuses. Many advertisements are meant to deceive, and do for a time deceive the public by puffing worthless goods, or exaggerating the quality of inferior articles. There is only one consolation in this connection that a lying advertisement cannot sell worthless stuff for long; for the people who buy it will not buy it a second time. As an old saying goes, “you can take in all people part of time; and you can take in some people all the time; but you cannot take in all the people all the time.”
1). As a whole, the author's attitude toward advertisement is ( ) .
A. positive
B. negative
C. praised
D. disgusted
B.
when one tries to stop his advertisement his sales goes down
D.
a profit-making business

It was at least two months before Christmas when nine-year-old Almie Rose told her father and me that she wanted a new bicycle. As Christmas drew nearer, her desire for a bicycle seemed to fade, or so we thought. We purchased the latest rages, Baby-Sitter's Club dolls, and a doll house. Then, much to our surprise, on December 23rd, she said that she “really wanted a bike more than anything else.”
It was just too late, what with all the details of preparing Christmas dinner and buying last-minute gifts, to take the time to select the “right bike”for our little girl. So, here we were—Christmas Eve around 9:00 p.m., with Almie and her six-year-old brother, Dylan, nestled snug in their beds. Now we could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment of our child.
“What if I make a little bicycle out of clay and write a note that she could trade the clay model in for a real bike”, her dad asked. The theory being that since this is a high-ticket item and she is “such a big girl'” it would be much better for her to pick it out. So he spent the next four hours painstakingly working with clay to make a miniature bike.
On Christmas morning, we were excited for Almie to open the little heart-shaped package with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. Finally, she opened it and read the note aloud.
“Does this mean that I trade in this bike that Daddy made me for a real one?” Beaming , I said, “Yes.” Almie had tears in her eyes when she replied, “I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me. I'd rather keep this than get a real bike.”
At that moment, we would have moved heaven and earth to buy her every bicycle on the planet!
1). Almie's parents bought her ( ) for Christmas.
A. a new bike |
