about everything from shampoo to tooth-paste to computers and cars. But there is one series problem
with this. The "information" is actually very often "misinformation". It tells us the products, benefits but
hides their disadvantages. Advertising not only leads us to buy things that we don"t need and can"t afford,
but it also confuses our sense of reality.
Advertisers use many methods to get us to buy their products. One of their most successful methods
is to make us feel dissatisfied with ourselves and our imperfect lives. Advertisements show us who we
aren"t and what we don"t have. "Why don"t I have any dates (约会)?" a good-looking girl sadly asks in a
commercial. "Here," replies her roommate, "Try Zoom tooth-paste!" Of course she tried it, and immediately
the whole football team falls in love with her. "That"s a stupid commercial," we might say. But we still buy
Zoom tooth-paste out of fear of being unpopular and having no friends.
If fear is the negative motive (动机) for buying a product, then wanting a good self-image is the positive
reason for choosing it. Each of us has a mental picture of the kind of person we would like to be. For
example, a modern young woman might like to think that she looks like a beautiful movie star. A middle-aged
man might want to see himself as a strong, attractive athlete. Advertisers know this. They write specific ads
to make certain groups of people choose their products.
Advertisers get psychologists to study the way consumers think and their reasons for choosing one brand
instead of another. These experts tell advertisers about the motives of fear and self-image. They also inform
them about recent studies with colors and words. They have found that certain colors on the package of an
attractive product will cause people to reach out and take that package instead of buying an identical (同一的、
相等的) product with different colors.
Many people believe that advertising does not affect them. They like to think they make wise choices.
Unfortunately, they probably don"t realize the powerful effect of advertising. They may not clearly understand
that advertisers spend billions of dollars each year in aggressive (强有力的) competition for our money, and
they are extremely successful.
B. misinforms us
C. doesn"t influence us very much
D. doesn"t always tell us everything about a product
B. every modern young woman wants to act in movies
C. most modern women think that they are beautiful
D. modern woman are not always satisfied with themselves
B. get information from psychologists
C. use similar method
D. need to use better detergent (洗涤剂) and shampoo
B. to stop influencing shoppers
C. about people"s motives for buying
D. how much money to spend on television

They read newspapers at breakfast; they walk to the bus reading a newspaper; they read a newspaper
on bus, as they go to work; and on the way back home, after work, they are engaged in reading an evening
newspaper.
There are many "morning papers", both national and provincial. The most famous is The Times. Different
from what many foreigners believe, this is not a government newspaper. The various newspapers usually
have their own views on politics, but they are not organs of the political parties, with the exception of the
Communist Morning Star. The Labor Party and the Trades Union Congress no longer have a daily newspaper
to represent them.
Bold headlines and a variety of photographs are features of the British press. Some newspapers, such as
the sober Daily Telegraph and The Times, use photographs sparingly (节省). The more "popular" newspapers,
using the small or "tabloid" (小报) format, such as the Daily Express, the Mail, the Daily Mirror and the Sun,
use pictures extensively and also run strip cartoons and humorous drawings, some of which present striking
pictorial comment on politics.
Besides offering features common to newspapers all over the world, British newspapers specialize in pages
devoted to criticism of the arts and a woman"s page. One feature found in many foreign newspapers is missing
in British papers: the serial (连载).
Nearly all papers pay special attention to the reporting of sports and athletics. The evening newspapers
are often bought because the buyer wants to know the winner of a race, or to get good tip for a race that is
still to be run. There is no censorship (审查) of the press in Britain (except in wartime), though of course all
newspapers-like private persons-are responsible for what they publish, and can be sued for libel (为诽谤而
被起诉) for publishing articles that go beyond the bounds of decency (正派), or for ignorance of court. (e.g.
calling a man a murderer while he is still being tried. Such cases are not often)
