How Advertisement Is Done
The Language of the Advertiser
When we choose a word we do more than give information; we also express out feelings about whatever we're describing. Words point to facts but often link these to attitudes at the same time; they can also affect the beliefs and attitudes of other people.
These two remarks are much the same, or are they？ What's the speaker's feeling towards the same dog in each case？ And how would the different descriptions affect the listeners？
Here comes that pet.
Here comes that dog.
The fact that words can work like this is important and valuable, for it adds a richness to our communication with one another. Advertisers make use of it in a number of ways.
Brand names
The manufacturer needs a name that will do more than just label: he wants a name that brings suitable associations as well the ideas that the word brings to the mind will help sell the product.
If all were available at the same price, which coat or suit would you choose from this range of shades—Dark Tan, Brown, Mud Brown？
Which of these shades of eye-show, Black Diamond, Black, Coaldust？
Key words
Because words have these associations, the advertiser is very careful about the way he describes his product and what it will do. Almost every advertisement has certain key words(sometimes, but not always, in bold or large letters, or beginning with a capital letter) that are intended to be persuasive, while at the same time appearing to be informative. It's difficult enough simply to describe what a thing is and how it works, especially in a few words, but the writers who write for the advertisements also try to include feelings, associations and attitudes.
Some words seem to have been so successful in selling that the advertisers use them almost as if they were magic key to a certain sale. How often, for instance, have you come across the word "golden" in advertisements？
Association of ideas
One thing reminds us of another, especially if we often see them together. These reminders(called "associations") are sometimes more imaginary than real: for many people a robin suggests Christmas, for others silver candlesticks suggest wealth.
The tricks of the advertising business we have so far described are all examples of the advertiser encouraging us to associate products with those things he thinks we really want a good jog, nice clothes, a sport car, a beautiful girlfriend perhaps most of all a feeling of importance. The "image" of a product is based on these associations, and the advertiser of ten creates a "good image" by showing us someone who uses his product and who leads the kind of life we should like to lead. We buy not just the product but the sense of importance that goes with it. We drink Coca-Cola not just for the taste, but because we would like to be thought of as being as gay as the energetic people who drink it in the ads.
How scientific is the science？
In this age of moon flights, heart transplants and wonder drugs, we are all impressed by science. If an advertiser links his claim with a scientific fact, there is even a chance we can be science. The question is simply whether the impressive air of the new discovery of the "man-made miracle" is being used to help or just to deceive us.
"The camera never lies"
Maybe we can't always believe what we're told, but surely we must accept what we're actually shown. The trouble is that when we look at the photograph we don't know how the photograph was taken, or even what was actually photographed.
Is that delicious-looking whipped cream really cream, or plastic froth？
Is that marvelous loss a sheet of glass？
Are the colours in fact s

History as the artificial extension of the social memory (and I willingly concede that there are other appropriate ways of apprehending human experience) is an art of long standing, necessarily so since it springs instinctively from the impulse to enlarge the range of immediate experience; and however camouflaged by the disfiguring jargon of science, it is still in essence what it has always been. History in this sense is story, in aim always a true story; a story that employs all the devices of literary art (statement and generalization, narration and description, comparison and comment and analogy) to present the succession of events in the life of man, and from the succession of events thus presented to derive a satisfactory meaning. The history written by historians, like the history informally fashioned by Mr. Everyman, is thus a convenient blend of truth and fancy, of what we commonly distinguish as "fact" and "interpretation". In primitive times, when tradition is orally transmitted, bards and story-tellers frankly embroider or improvise the facts to heighten the dramatic import of the story. With the use of written records, history, gradually occurred; and with the increase and refinement of knowledge the historian recognized that his first duty is to be sure of his facts, let their meaning be what it may. Nevertheless, in every age history is taken to be a story of actual events from which a significant meaning may be derived; and in every age the illusion is that the present version is valid because the related facts are true, whereas former version are invalid because based upon inaccurate or inadequate facts.

Learning a language
When Do We Learn a Language？
Children begin learning languages at birth(infants pay attention to their parents' voices, as opposed to random noises or even other languages), and haven't really mastered the subtleties before the age of ten years. Indeed, we never really stop learning our language. This isn't exactly the sort of behavior(like foals walking an hour after birth) that we call "instinct" in animals.
Do We Learn When We Don't Have to？
But at least it's effortless, isn't it？ Well, no, as we can see when children have a choice of languages to learn. What's found is that, to be frank, children don't learn a language if they can get away with not learning it.
Many an immigrant family in the U.S. intends to teach their child their native language; and for the first few years it goes swimmingly so much so that the parents worry that the child won't learn English. Then the child goes to school, picks up English, and within a few years the worry is reversed: the child still understands his parents, but responds in English. Eventually the parents may give up, and the home language becomes English.
People's Influence
A child is likely to end up as a fluent speaker of a language only if there are significant people in her life who speak it: a nanny who only speaks Spanish, a relative who doesn't speak English, etc. Once a child discovers that his parents understand English perfectly well, he's likely to give up on the home language, even in the face of strong disapproval from the parents.
It's a myth that children learn to speak mainly from their parents. They don't: they learn mostly from their peers. This is most easily seen among children of immigrants, whether they come from differing language backgrounds or merely different dialect areas: the children invariably come to speak the dialect of their neighborhood and school, not that of their parents.(I found a neat example of this in my college's alumni magazine: A liberal family in Mississippi sent their daughter to the public schools, which except for her were all black. She grew up speaking fluent African-American Vernacular English.)
Do We Need Grammar？
Supporters of the "language instinct" make much of the fact that children learn to speak without formal instruction—indeed, they notoriously ignore explicit corrections.
Very little of what we learn is through formal instruction. Children aren't schooled in video games, either, yet they pick them up with the same seeming ease.
The apparent effortlessness is largely an illusion caused by psychological distance. We just don't remember how hard it was to learn language. (In fact, there's some studies suggesting that memory is tied to language, so that we can't remember the language learning process.) The perception of effortlessness should be balanced, anyway, by the universal amusement(which some cartoonists have been mining for nearly half a century) over children's language mistakes.
Do Children Learn Faster？
One may fall back on the position that languages may be hard for children to learn, but at least they do it better than adults. This, however, turns out to be surprisingly difficult to prove. Singleton examined hundreds of studies, and found them resoundingly ambiguous. Quite a few studies, in fact, find that adult learners progress faster than children. Even in phonetics, sometimes the last stronghold of the kids-learn-free position, there are studies finding that adults are better at recognizing and producing foreign sounds.
Now, I think Singleton misses a key point in understanding this discrepancy: the studies he reviews compare children vs. adults who are learning languages. That's quite reasonable, and indeed it's hard to imagine an alternative approach; but th

•Read the following passage about working in different sized companies.
•Are the sentences 16 - 22 "Right" or "Wrong" ？ If there isn't enough information to answer "Right" or "Wrong", choose "Doesn't say".
•For each sentence, mark one letter (A, B or C) on your Answer Sheet.
CHOOSE YOUR COMPANY WITH CARE
Small is beautiful. That, at least, is the conclusion of new research examining how satisfied secretaries are in different sized firms. "We have found that people who work for small or medium-sized companies work harder and are more committed," says Catrin Morgan, author of one of the latest studies in this field. "The smaller the environment, the bigger the part you play as an individual, and the more people notice your absence."
This will come as a surprise to many secretaries. Some recruitment agencies said that secretaries are keen to get positions in the bigger companies. However, smaller companies can be more flexible when it comes to working hours, and have better working conditions, but working for smaller firms is not without its disadvantages. Career development in the form. of courses can be limited, but, on the other hand, employees often feel that they can learn more on the job.
In fact, opportunities for promotion are the same whatever the size of the company. Morgan also says, "Our research shows that in a company of fewer than 50 people, employers can actually see what their employees are producing and then give them bonuses as appropriate."
The new research focuses on the number of secretaries employed in small companies.

Do You Have a Sense of Humor？
Humor and laughter are good for us. There is increasing evidence that they can heal us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. In fact, every system of the body responds to laughter in some positive, healing way. So how can we get more laughter into our lives？ __________(46) Psychologist and author, Steve Wilson, has some answers.＜br＞
Many people believe that we are born with a sense of humor. They think, "Either you&39;ve got it,or you don&39;t." Dr. Wilson points out that this is false.__________ (47)＜br＞
The parts of the brain and central nervous system that control laughing and smiling are mature at birth. __________(48) (After all, when a baby laughs, we don&39;t rush over and say, "That kid has a great sense of humor!") A sense of humor is something that you can develop over a lifetime.＜br＞
Sometimes people think that they don&39;t have a good sense of humor because they are not good joke tellers. Dr. Wilson reminds us that telling jokes is only one of many ways to express humor.＜br＞
__________ (49) Then we will make others laugh, too.＜br＞
A person who has a true sense of humor is willing and able to see the funny side of everyday life.＜br＞
One of the best definitions of a sense of humor is "the ability to see the nonserious element in a situation." Consider this sign from a store window. "Any faulty merchandise will be cheerfully replaced with merchandise of equal quality." The store manager probably placed the sign in the window to impress customers with the store&39;s excellent service. __________(50) As Dr. Wilson says,"A good sense of humor means that you don&39;t have to be funny, you just have to see what&39;s funny."
