题目列表(包括答案和解析)
Making an advertisement for television often costs more than a movie. For example, a two-hour movie costs $6 million to make. A TV commercial can cost more than $ 600 a second. 54 Which is more valuable, the program or the ad? In terms of money---and making money is what television is all about—the commercial is by far the most important.
Research, market testing, talent, and money—all come together to make us want to buy a product. 55 The sales of charm went up once the ads began. TV commercials actually buy their way into our head. 56
And the ads work because so much time and attention are given to them. 57 If you want to get a lower-middle-class buyer, make sure the announcer has a tough, manly voice. Put some people in the ad who work with their hands. If you want to sell the products to an upper-class audience, make sure that the house, the furniture, and the hairstyles are the types that the group agree with . if you want the buyer to feel superior to the character selling the product, then make that person so stupid or silly that everyone will feel great about himself or herself.
We laugh at commercials. We don’t think we pay much attention to them. 58 The making of a TV commercial that costs so much money is not a kid stuff. It’s a big,big business. And it’s telling us what to think, what we need, and what to buy. To put it simple, the TV commercial is a form of brainwashing.

A．No matter how bad we think a commercial is, it works. |
|
B．And this does not include the cost of paying for air time. |
|
C．We, in return, buy the product. |
|
D．The purpose of all the efforts made in producing TV commercials is to show how valuable the product is. |
E. Here are some rules of commercial ad making.
F. TV commercials are a good guide to buyers.
G. But evidence shows we are kidding ourselves.

Searching for the truth
Collecting and writing news is like researching in history: the best information comes from those who were there at the time. So if' we want to study the history of China in the sixth century AD, we look at the writings of the people who lived then. They are called the primary sources because they tell us what it was like to live then. People at a much later date who write about the same events are called the secondary sources. For example, when we read the original writings of Jia Sixie on agriculture, we are reading a primary source; when we read about Jia Sixie in our textbook we are reading secondary source because the passage was written about him and his ideas many years after he died.
When we make news, we use primary and secondary sources. We can see this most clearly in TV programmes. As we watch the news on TV, the person presenting the programme in the studio is the secondary source( because he tells us about the news) and the reporter in Iraq or Washington is the primary source (because he is telling us about what is actually happening there). Without these reporters acting as primary sources, you would never find out what really happened in a war, earthquake, sports meeting, concert or festival. These reporters explain what is happening, so we have a clearer idea of what is going on there. They often take photographers with them who act as primary source by giving pictures of events.
In a newspaper, the position is different because these two roles are often combined. This means a reporter who investigates a story may be the same person who writes it. If this happens, the reporter is both the primary and the secondary source. But the photographer who works with him/her is still a primary source.
One of the reasons that it is important to separate primary and secondary sources is that they help us to decide what is a fact and what is an opinion. A fact is something that everybody agrees has happened. An opinion is somebody's idea of what happened. So facts and opinions are often mixed in any report, whether in a newspaper or on TV.
