  Money spent on advertising is money spent as well as any I knew of.It serves directly to assist a rapid distribution of goods at reasonable price, thereby establishing a firm home market and so making it possible to provide for export at competitive prices drawing attention to new ideas it helps enormously to raise standards of living.By helping to increase demand it ensures an increased need for labor, and is therefore an effective way to fight unemployment.It lowers the costs of many services:without advertisements your daily newspaper would cost four times as much, the price of your television license would need to be doubled, and travel by bus or tube would cost 20 percent more.

  And perhaps most important of all, advertising provides a guarantee of reasonable value in the produces and services you buy.Apart from the fact that twenty seven acts of Parliament govern the terms of advertising, no regular advertiser dare promote a product that fails to live up to the promise of his advertisements, He might fool some people for a little while through misleading advertising.He will not do so for long ,for mercifully the public has the good sense not to buy the inferior article more than once.If you see an article consistently advertised, it is the surest proof I know that the article does what is claimed for it, and that it represents good value.

  Advertising does more for the material benefit of the community than any other force I can think of.

  There is one more point I feel I ought to touch on.Recently I heard a well-known television personality declare that he was against advertising because it persuades rather than informs.He was drawing excessively fine distinctions.Of course advertising seeks to persuades.

  If its message were confined merely to information-and that in itself would be difficult if not impossible to achieve, for even a detail such as the choice of the color of a shirt is subtly persuasive-advertising would be so boring that no one would pay any attention.But perhaps that is what the well-known television personality wants.

  Twenty-one years ago, my husband gave me Sam, an eight-week-old schnauzer(德国髥狗), to heip ease the loss of our daughter.Sam and I developed a very special bond over the next fourteen years.It seemed nothing that happened could ever   1   that.

  At one point, my husband and I decided to   2   from our New York apartment to a new home in New Jersey.After we were there a while, our neighbor, whose cat had recently had kittens, asked us if we would like one.We were a little worried about Sam's   3   and how he would handle his turf(地盘)being invaded, but we decided to risk it and agreed to take a kitten.

  We picked a little, gray.playful ball of fur.It was like having a roadrunner in the house.-She raced around   4   imaginary mice and squirrels and vaulted from table to chair in the blink of an eye, so we named her Lightning.

  At first, Sam and Lightning were very cautious with each other and   5   their distance.But slowly, as the days went on.Lightning started following Sam-up the stairs, down the stairs-into the kitchen to watch him eat.into the living room to watch him sleep.As time passed, they became inseparable.When they slept, it was always together; when they ate, it was always next to each other.When I played with one.the other   6  .If Sam barked at something.Lightning ran to see what it was.When I took either one out of the house, the other was always waiting by the door when we returned.That was the way it was for years.

  Then, without any warning.Sam began suffering from convulsions(抽搐)and was diagnosed as having a weak heart.I had no other choice but to have him put down.The pain of making that   7  , however, was nothing compared with what I experienced when I had to leave Sam at the vet(兽医诊所)and walk into our house alone.This time, there was no Sam for Lightning to greet and no way to   8   why she would never see her friend again.

  In the days that followed.Lightning seemed   9   She could not tell me in words that she was suffering, but I could see the pain and disappointment in her eyes whenever anyone opened the front door, or the hope whenever she heard a dog   10  

  The weeks wore on and the cat's   11   seemed to be, lifting.One day as I walked into our living room, I happened to glance down on the floor next to our sofa where we had a sculptured replica(复制品)of Sam that we had bought a few years before.Lying next to the statue, one arm wrapped around the statue's neck, was Lightning,   12   sleeping with her best friend.

Money spent on advertising is money spent as well as any I know of. It serves directly to bring about a rapid sale of goods at reasonable prices, so setting up a firm home market and making it possible to provide for export (出口) at good prices. By drawing attention to new ideas it helps greatly to raise standards of living. By helping to increase demand it causes an increased need for labour, and is therefore a nice way to fight unemployment. It lowers the costs of many services: without advertisements your daily newspaper would cost four times as much, the price of your television program would need to be doubled, and travel by bus or subway would cost more.

  And perhaps most important of all, advertising provides a promise of reasonable value in the products and services you buy. Besides the fact that twenty-seven Acts of Parliament(国会)govern the terms of advertising, no regular advertiser dare produce anything that fails to live up to the promise of his advertisements. He might fool some people for a little while through misleading advertising. He will not do so for long, for the public has the good sense not to buy the poor goods more than once. If you see product frequently advertised, it is the proof I know that the product does what is promised for it, and that it has good value.

  Advertising does more for the good of the public than any other force I can think of.

  There is one more point I feel I ought to touch on. Recently I heard a well-known television person declared that he was against advertising because it persuades rather than informs. He was telling us the real difference. Of course advertising tries to persuade.

  If its message were nothing but information, that would be difficult to get more people to buy, for even the choice of the colour of a shirt is a bit persuasive (有说服力的)--advertising would be so boring that no one would pay any attention. But perhaps that is what the well-known television person wants.

By the first sentence of the passage the writer means that ___.

  A. he is fairly familiar with the cost of advertising

  B. everybody knows well that advertising is a waste of money

  C. advertising costs more money than everything else

  D. money on advertising is worth spending

In the passage, which of the following is NOT included in the advantages of advertising?
