When you turn on the radio, you hear an advertisement. When you watch television, you hear and see an advertisement. If you turn the pages of a newspaper or magazine, again you find an advertisement. If you walk down the street, you see one advertising board after another. All day, every day, people who want to sell you something compete to catch your attention. As a result, advertisements are almost everywhere.
In the West, advertisements are the fuel that makes mass media work. Many TV stations, newspapers, magazines, radio stations are privately owned. The government does not give them money. So where does the money come from? From advertisements. Without advertisements, there would not be these private businesses.
Have you ever asked yourself what advertising is? Through the years, people have given different answers to the question. For some time it was felt that advertising was a means of keeping your name before the public? and some people thought that advertising was “truth well told.” Now more and more people describe it in this way: Advertising is the paid, non-personal, and usually persuasive(有說服力的) description of goods, services and ideas by identified sponsors(明確的出資者) through various media.
First, advertising is usually paid for. Various sponsors pay for the advertisements we see, read, and hear over the various media. Second, advertising is non-personal. It is not face to face communication. Although you may feel that a message in a certain advertisement is aimed directly at you, in reality, it is directed at large groups of people. Third, advertising is usually persuasive. Directly or indirectly it tells people to do something. All advertisements try to make people believe that the product, idea, or service advertised can do good to them. Fourth, the sponsor of the advertisement must be identified. From the advertisement, we can see if the sponsor is a company, or an organization, or an individual. Fifth, advertising reaches us through traditional and nontraditional mass media. Included in the traditional media are newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and films. Nontraditional media include the mail, matchbox covers, and billboards.
小題1:The existence(存在) of the privately owned mass media depends financially(經(jīng)濟(jì)上地) on _________.
A．the governmentB．their owners?familiesC．a(chǎn)dvertisementsD．the audience
小題2:according to the passage, who are most probably paying for the advertisements?
A．Companies.B．Organizations.C．Individuals.D．All of the above.
小題3:Which of the following is considered nontraditional mass media?
A．Newspapers.B．The mail.C．Magazines.D．Films.
小題4:according to the passage, which of the following statements about the features of advertisements is NOT true?
A．Advertising must be honest and amusing.
B．Advertising is meant for large groups of people.
C．Advertising tells people to do something directly or indirectly.
D．The sponsors are always mentioned in the advertisements.

They already guide blind and disabled people; now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia（癡呆） or Alzheimer's．Alzheimer's can make people confuse night and day or forget basic things such as washing or drinking enough water．
The dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers（觸發(fā)器） in the home that cause them to perform tasks．The duties will include reminding their owners to take medicine, as well as encouraging them to eat, drink and sleep regularly．
The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer's Scotland and Dogs for the Disabled．The first dogs will be distributed to four Scottish couples, where one of the partners is in the early stages of dementia．Some 670,000 people in Britain have dementia and one in three over 65s will develop the condition．By 2021 this is expected to rise to one million．
Joyce Gray of Alzheimer's Scotland said, "People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively normal life, and dogs help to maintain routine．" Another advantage of using the pets as companions is that dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship．Ms Gray said, "The evidence is that people may forget familiar faces but not pets．It's such a strong bond that people often remember them longest．People don't need to communicate verbally （言語地） but they can still interact．You can have a speechless bond．"
Helen McCain, director of Dogs for the Disabled, said, "People with dementia often forget to take the medicine．If a dog presents them with a bag with pills in it there's a greater chance of them taking it．The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks, ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people．"
小題1:In Britain people with dementia _          _．
A．a(chǎn)re likely to increase in number
B．a(chǎn)re mostly over 65 years old
C．will be trained to respond to sound triggers
D．will be able to live a relatively normal life
小題2:The dogs are taught to perform tasks by -．
A．making some sound signals
B．communicating with the patients
C．reminding the patients by barking
D．reacting to some sound triggers
小題3:What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A．Faces．B．Triggers．C．Pets．D．Companions．
小題4:What is mainly talked about in the passage?
A．The idea of dementia dogs was developed by students．
B．Dogs are trained to assist Alzheimer's patients．
C．British people with Alzheimer's are in poor condition．
D．The dementia dogs perform most duties of a doctor．
