Advertising is a highly developed twentieth-century industry. The development of radio, television, cinema, magazines and newspapers has gone hand in hand with the development of advertising. Why is advertising so popular? Is it a waste of money? It has been proved again and again that repeated advertising increases product sales. Since it increases production, the price can be reduced. Therefore advertising, instead of making a product more expensive, makes it cheaper.
Advertising is now a scientific business. Once managers would say jokingly, “ I know that half of what I spend on advertising is wasted, but I don't know which half.” Now, all parts of an advertising programs are properly measured and researched.
What makes a good advertisement? There have been major changes in advertising in the past sixty years. People read advertisements partly for information and partly for pleasure. Today's advertisements often start with a question, or a puzzle, with the purpose of attracting the reader's attention. Of course, most advertisements contain information. But this is usually contained in a text that is interesting and often funny. Humor is very important. Sometimes advertisements tell a story, or the story may be continued over a number of advertisements. However, there is a danger in this. It is possible that the reader or viewer will remember the advertisement but not the name of the product.

I still remember quite clearly the day when my parents got divorced(离婚). Dad kissed me goodbye and left.
For a long time Mum and I lived a peaceful life. Then one day, Jim came over for lunch wearing a blue suit with a short brown tie and a green shirt. I couldn't believe this was going to be my new stepfather. It couldn't be true that my beautiful mother would marry someone who dressed like a clown(小丑). I hated him.
Lunch was terrible. Mother kept trying to start a conversation, but neither Jim nor I would say much. Finally I offered to bring in the dessert just to get away from the clown.
Something unpleasant happened, but I didn't mean(故意) to do it. I guess the plate slipped. But one minute I was handing Jim his blackberry pie, and the next, dark purple berries were oozing(渗出) all over his shirt and tie.
I was mortified. My face turned bright red. Jim looked very much surprised at first, but then he began to laugh. I started to laugh too. Maybe this guy was all right, after all. Then I had a quick look at my mother. She looked happier than I had seen her in a long time.
1.The writer thinks Jim's clothes look ______________.
A. nice B. expensive C. usual D. funny
2.From the story we might guess that _____________.
A. Jim didn't seem likeable at first B. the writer liked Jim from the start
C. Jim was angry with the writer D. Jim didn't like blackberry pie
3.In this story the word "mortified" means ___________.
A. 高兴的 B. 无聊的 C. 尴尬的 D. 生气的
4.The best title for this story would be ______________.
A. I Love Pie B. My New Stepfather
C. The World's Worst Lunch D. Mothers Shouldn't Marry
