The word advertising refers to any kind of public announcement that brings products and services to
the attention of people. Throughout history, advertising has been an effective way to promote(促进)the
trading and selling of goods. In the Middle Ages, merchants employed "town criers" to read public messages aloud to promote their goods. When printing was invented in the fifteenth century, pages of advertisements(ads)could be printed easily and were either hung in public places or put in books.
By the end of the seventeenth century, when newspapers were beginning to be read by more people,
printed materials became an important way to promote products and services. The London Gazette was
the first newspaper to set aside a place just for advertising. This was so successful that by the end
of the century several companies started businesses for the purpose of making newspaper ads for merchants.
Advertising spread quickly throughout the eighteenth century. Ad writers were starting to pay
more attention to the design of the ad text. Everything, from clothes to drinks, was promoted with
clever methods such as repetition of the firm's name or product, words organized in eyecatching patterns,
the use of pretty pictures and expressions easy to remember.
Near the end of the nineteenth century, companies that were devoted to the production of ads
came to be known as "advertising agencies(广告商)．"The agencies developed new ways to get people to
think of themselves as members of a group. Throughout the twentieth century, advertising agencies promoted consumerism(消费主义)as a way of life, spreading the belief that people could be happy only
if they bought the "right" products.
(1) What was advertising like in the Middle Ages?
A. Ad signs were put up in towns.
B. Ad messages were shouted out in public places.
C. Merchants were employed to promote products.
D. Product information was included in books.

C. Including pictures in ads.
D. Selling goods in markets.
(3) The 18th century advertising was special in its________.
A. printing materials

companies
(4) Which of the following might be the best title for the text?

D. The Role of Newspaper Advertising
(E)
I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get
to the post office?”
Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don't have names; in
Japan, people use landmarks（地标）in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese
will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”
In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are
no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles.
Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example,
people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”
People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance
in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it's about
five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don't know.
It's true that a person doesn't know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in
such a situat ion? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don't know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I don't know” is impolite. They usually
give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!
(1) When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place they usually _________.
A. tell him the names of the streets
B. describe the place carefully
C. refer to well-known buildings and places
D. show him a map of the place
(2) Which is the place where people measure distance in time?
A. Iowa.
B. New York.
C. Kansas.
D. Los Angeles.
(3) People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer ________.
A. so as to be polite
B. in order to save time
C. as a test
D. for fun
(4) What can we infer from the text?
A. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.
B. It's useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.
C. People have similar understandings of politeness.
D. It's important for travelers to understand cultural differences.
