Advertising: the power of persuasion①
In just one day,a person can see hundreds of marketing messages.Advertising has become part of modern life.But what is advertising exactly? In short②,it refers to the activity of promoting a product or service.In other words,it tries to persuade people to buy③ a product or service.

广告:说服的力量
仅仅在一天之内,一个人就可以看到数百条营销信息。广告已经成为现代生活的一部分。但广告到底是什么?简而言之,广告指推销一种产品或服务的活动。换言之,它(广告)试图说服人们去购买一种产品或服务。
The history of advertising has always been closely linked with④ that of the mass media.From the ancient simple advertisements⑤ painted on outdoor signs⑥ to the colourful,interactive⑦ ones in smartphone apps,advertising and the mass media have developed hand in hand⑧.As media channels⑨ have grown in number and type,so have advertisements.

广告的历史一直与大众传媒的历史紧密相连。从绘制在户外招牌上的古老、简单的广告到智能手机应用程序上多彩的互动广告,广告和大众传媒携手发展。随着媒体渠道数量的增加和类型的丰富,广告也在不断发展。
Because the mass media reaches⑩ so many people,it is a perfect vehicle⑪ for advertisers.If an advertisement is placed⑫ on a popular website or on TV at peak times⑬,a huge number of people will know about the product or service it is advertising⑭.In addition to⑮ making people aware of a product or service,a successful advertisement will also create a desire to buy,thus boosting⑯ business.That is why when a company wants to promote a product or service,it often launches a mass media advertising campaign⑰.

⑰launch a campaign 发起一场活动
大众传媒受众很广,因此成为广告商的完美载体。如果一则广告被投放在一个热门网站或黄金时段的电视上,许多人都会知晓它所宣传的产品或服务。除了让人们知晓产品或服务,一则成功的广告也会激发购买欲,从而促进业务增长。那就是当一家公司想要推广一种产品或服务时,就经常会发起一场大众传媒广告活动的原因。
Based on the psychology⑱ behind⑲ creating a desire to buy,advertisers have developed ways of persuading people into purchasing⑳ their products or services.A common technique to make an impact is to create a memorable㉑ slogan㉒.Slogans use simple but impressive language to make us remember the product or service being advertised.Some of these slogans may also appeal to our emotions.For example,a slogan may connect a fine china teapot㉓ it aims to promote 10 with our pride in having good taste㉔.You will hear a variety of slogans any time you watch TV 11.Think about your favourite one.What makes it special?And what message does it try to get across㉕? A slogan which communicates an idea effectively 12 can boost sales and even become part of popular culture.That is the power of memorable slogans.

㉑memorable/'memərəbl/adj.难忘的,值得纪念的
㉒slogan/'sləʊɡən/n.[C]标语,口号
an advertising slogan 广告口号
㉓teapot/'tiːpɒt/n.[C]茶壶
㉔have good taste 品味高雅
㉕get across 被传达,被理解,把……讲清楚
基于激发购买欲背后的心理特征,广告商开发了多种说服人们购买其产品或服务的方式。一种常见的产生影响的技巧是创造一条令人难忘的广告语。广告语使用简单但令人印象深刻的语言让我们记住它所宣传的产品或服务。其中一些广告语可能也会引起我们的情感共鸣。例如,一条广告语可能会把想要推销的一个精美的陶瓷茶壶和我们引以为傲的良好品味联系起来。任何时间看电视,你都会听到各种各样的广告词。想想你最喜欢的那一条。是什么让它变得特别?它想要传达什么信息?一条能有效地传达思想的广告语可以增加销售量,甚至成为流行文化的一部分。那就是令人难忘的广告语的力量。
Another technique advertisers often employ㉖ is to link their company or product to a “brand ambassador㉗”—a famous actor,a sports star,or even a fictional character.Think of a popular fast-food restaurant.Does it have a brand ambassador? Is the brand ambassador popular among㉘ potential customers?The more we like the brand ambassador,the more we will be attracted to buy the product. 13
13 此处为the more...,the more...结构。
㉖employ vt.使用,运用;雇用
employ a technique/method 运用技巧/方法
㉗brand ambassador 品牌大使
brand/brænd/n.[C]品牌;类型;烙印
leading brand 一流品牌
ambassador/æm'bæsədə(r)/n.[C]大使,代表
㉘be popular among...受……欢迎(=enjoy popularity among...)
广告商经常使用的另一种技巧是将他们的公司或产品与一个“品牌大使”联系起来——一位著名的演员、体育明星,甚至是一个虚构的人物。想想一家受欢迎的快餐店。它有品牌大使吗?品牌大使在潜在客户中享有知名度吗?我们越喜欢这位品牌大使,就越会被吸引去购买这个产品。
Of course,some advertisements are not so obvious:product placement㉙ is typically used in films with huge box-office success and TV shows with high ratings㉚.Some films are now sponsored㉛ by leading brands,so that only their products appear in the films 14,like the watches worn by the title character in the James Bond films 15.Other types of mass media use product placement too,including video games.It is not uncommon for sports video game series to feature㉜ different in-game㉝ equipment with real brand names. 16 We absorb㉞ these marketing messages without thinking about them too much,yet they will probably have an effect on us the next time we go shopping 17.

16 it作形式主语,不定式短语作真正的主语。
17 the next time (名词短语)引导时间状语从句。
㉙placement/'pleIsmənt/n.

rating/'reItIŋ/n.[pl.]收视率;[C]等级,级别
㉛sponsor/'spɒnsə(r)/vt.赞助;主办;为慈善活动捐款;资助n. [C] 赞助商;为慈善活动捐款的人
㉜feature [熟词生义] vt.以……为主要内容,重点介绍
㉝in-game (电脑)游戏中的,游戏内的
in-game advertising 游戏中的广告
㉞absorb/əb'zɔːb/vt.理解,掌握;吸收;吸引全部注意力
当然,有些广告并不是那么明显:产品植入通常用于票房大卖的电影和收视率高的电视节目。现在有些电影由知名品牌赞助,所以只有他们的产品出现在电影中,比如詹姆斯·邦德电影中主角戴的手表。其他类型的大众传媒也使用产品植入,包括电子游戏。在体育类电子游戏系列中,给不同游戏装备贴上真实品牌标签是很常见的。我们没有多加考虑就记住了这些促销信息,而它们有可能会在我们下次购物时对我们产生影响。
In the past,advertising was all about reaching as many people as possible with the same message.Now,advertising is becoming more digital and more personalized㉟.Already we may see online advertisements for products or services we have previously searched for on the Internet 18,and we are very likely to receive special discounts㊱ and promotions targeted specifically at us㊲19.In the future,advertising will be even more about understanding individual customers and sending them advertisements that are tailored㊳ to specific needs 20.Not only will this make them feel more valued and enable them to see what they are most interested in,but it will also help companies target their customers more efficiently to have a positive effect on sales. 21
18 定语从句,先行词是products or services。
19 过去分词短语作后置定语。
20 that引导定语从句,先行词是advertisements。
21 此处为not only...but also...句式,not only位于句首时,其所在的分句用部分倒装。
㉟personalized adj.为某人特制(或特设)的,个性化的
㊱discount/'dIskaʊnt/n.[C,U]折扣 vt.打折出售
㊲be targeted at sb.针对某人
target vt.面向,把……对准(某群体)
㊳tailor/'teIlə(r)/vt.专门制作,定做n.[C]裁缝
be tailored to sb.'s need 专门制作……以满足某人的需要
过去,广告就是把同样的信息传达给尽可能多的人。现在,广告正变得越来越数字化和个性化。我们可能已经看到我们以前在网上搜索过的产品或服务的在线广告,我们很可能会收到专门针对我们的特殊折扣和促销活动。未来,广告甚至会更多地了解个人客户,并根据其特定需求推送广告。这不仅会让他们感觉自己更受重视,使他们能够看到自己最感兴趣的东西,而且也会帮助公司更有效地锁定客户,从而对销售量产生积极的影响。

句式剖析
1.find+it+adj.+不定式
[教材原文]Smartphone owners are finding it easier to read news on their mobile devices.智能手机用户发现在他们的移动设备上阅读新闻更加容易。
本句是一个简单句,句中含有“find+it+adj.+不定式”句式,表示“发现做某事……”,其中it为形式宾语,真正的宾语为后面的不定式。
(1)当不定式、动名词、从句等复杂成分用作宾语且其后跟有宾语补足语时,通常会在宾语补足语前使用形式宾语it,而将真正的宾语移至句末,其基本结构为“动词+it+宾语补足语+不定式(动名词或从句)”;
(2)it作形式宾语,常见于以下动词之后: think,make,find,consider,feel,suppose等。
[即学即练]——单句语法填空/ 句型转换
①I find it easy __________ (work) out this math problem.
②I think it no need ____________ (talk) about such a problem with a child.
③We find that it is impossible to move the heavy stone.
→We ________________________ the heavy stone.
to work
find it impossible to move
talking
[名师点津] “动词+it+宾语补足语+不定式(动名词或从句)”结构中,当宾语补足语为no use/no need/no good/no pleasure/a waste of.../useless等时,常用动名词作真正的宾语。
2.That is why...“那就是……的原因。”
[教材原文]That is why when a company wants to promote a product or service,it often launches a mass media advertising campaign.那就是当一家公司想要推广一种产品或服务时,就经常会发起一场大众传媒广告活动的原因。
本句为复合句,其中why when a company wants to promote a product or service,it often launches a mass media advertising campaign为表语从句,why为连接副词,在从句中作原因状语。
(1)This/That is why...为why引导的表语从句,意为“这/那就是……的原因”,用来表示结果;
(2)表语从句的连接词或词组有that,what,who,which,whether,when,where,why,how,whoever,whichever,whatever,because,as if,as though等。
[即学即练]——单句语法填空/句型转换
①My question is _______ we can do to help the poor children in the area.
②The key to the problem is _______ he can find the right direction as soon as possible.

④Tom came late for the meeting.That was because he was ill.
→Tom was ill.____________________________________.
what
how
why
That was why he came late for the meeting
[名师点津] “That is because...”与“That is why...”句型结构相似,但两者意义不同。前者意为“这是因为……”,指原因或理由,而“That is why...”意为“那就是……的原因”,指由于某种原因所造成的后果。
3.the+比较级...,the+比较级...“越……,就越……”
[教材原文]The more we like the brand ambassador, the more we will be attracted to buy the product.我们越喜欢这位品牌大使,就越会被吸引去购买这个产品。
“the+比较级...,the+比较级...”句式表示“越……,就越……”。前面的“the +比较级...”相当于一个条件状语从句,后面的“the +比较级...”相当于相应的主句,表示相应的结果。在“the+比较级”后面的两个分句都要用陈述语序。
[即学即练]——单句语法填空/完成句子
①The ________ (much) you talk to the children,the ______ (little) they will listen.
②The ______________ (learned) a man is,the ________________ (modest) he usually is.

4.not only...but also...“不仅……而且……”
[教材原文]Not only will this make them feel more valued and enable them to see what they are most interested in, but it will also help companies target their customers more efficiently to have a positive effect on sales.这不仅会让他们感觉自己更受重视,使他们能够看到自己最感兴趣的东西,而且也会帮助公司更有效地锁定客户,从而对销售量产生积极的影响。
本句为复合句,not only...but also...表示“不仅……而且……”,连接两个并列句,其中will this make them feel more valued and enable them to see what they are most interested in为部分倒装语序。
(1)not only...but also...用于连接两个表示并列关系的成分,着重强调后者,其意为“不仅……而且……”,其中的also有时可以省略;
(2)若连接两个句子,且not only位于句首时,not only后面的句子要用部分倒装;
(3)若连接的两个成分作主语,其谓语动词的单复数通常与靠近的主语保持一致。

Portia Kapraun has always seen unwelcome ads on the Internet, usually from major brands pitching (竭力推销) expensive jewelry or vehicles that she, as a librarian in Indiana, could not afford.Ms.Kapraun was not interested.But she soon saw the ads again.And again.And again.“These feel like low-end ads,” she said.In a shaky advertising market in an uncertain economy, ads that few people want to see suddenly seem to be everywhere.
Advancements in digital advertising technology were meant to improve users' experience.People interested in shoes are intended to get ads for sneakers and boots, not repeated pitches promoting good investments.And the technology is supposed to remove misleading or dangerous pitches.But lately, on several platforms, the opposite seems to be happening for a variety of reasons, including a slowdown in the overall digital ad market.As numerous deep-pocketed markets have pulled back, and the softer market has led several digital platforms to lower their ad pricing, opportunities have opened up for less demanding advertisers.
Advertising experts agree that poor-quality ads appear to be increasing greatly.They point to a variety of potential causes: internal troubles at technology companies, weak content moderation (审核), and high-level advertisers seeking other choices.Then, there's the economy: A recent survey of 43 multinational companies representing more than $44 billion in advertising spending found that nearly 30 percent planned to cut back on their marketing spending last year.
Other factors are also contributing to lower advertising quality.Social media advertising, once only practiced by specialists, is now easily available to anyone.Many of them are avoiding targeted ads—placements intended to reach specific audiences, usually at a higher cost—in favor of a cheaper spray-and-pray (广撒网式的) approach online, hoping to catch the attention of gullible (容易受骗的) or bored shoppers.Major social media platforms are now like “a mall that used to be good”, Corey Richardson, vice president at a multicultural ad company, says.“But now there's no longer a mall there—it's just a place selling anything.”
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是随着数字广告市场的低迷和经济不确定性,用户开始在社交媒体平台上遇到越来越多低质量的广告,这些低质量的广告导致主要的社交媒体平台逐渐变得没有吸引力,只剩下了一些低价的广告商。

1.What message does the author want to deliver in Portia Kapraun's story?
A.Repeated ads have a strong power of persuasion.
B.Social media users often encounter unwanted ads.
C.Major brands usually prefer social media advertising.
D.An uncertain economy leads to lower levels of consumption.
答案:B
推理判断题。 根据第一段中“Portia Kapraun has...And again.And again.”可知,作者想在Portia Kapraun的故事中传达的信息是社交媒体用户经常会遇到不需要的广告。故选B。

答案:D

推理判断题。 根据第二段中“As numerous deep-pocketed markets...lower their ad pricing”可知,由于广告市场放缓,财力雄厚的广告资本退出市场,很多数字平台降低了广告的定价,由此导致很多要求很低的广告商获得了机会,即能够以较低的价格承接广告,因此我们可以从less demanding advertisers推断出,他们现在可以以更实惠的价格做广告,故选D。

推理判断题。 根据最后一段可知,如今的社交媒体平台倾向于以更便宜的在线“广撒网式的”方式投放广告吸引购物者的注意而非更高成本的定向投入广告,因此降低了广告的质量,所以Corey Richardson对主要的社交媒体平台的态度是消极的。故选A。

Mass communication is a very broad field which includes advertising, mass promotion, political campaigns, public relations, mass education and even the way you interact with other people.It covers just about everything you do in your daily life.Some characteristics of mass communication are: communication, information overload, group effort and feedback.There are some more that are less often mentioned but are just as important as the ones that have been listed above.
The most basic feature of communication is interaction.Interaction takes the form of communication where you can interpret what someone is trying to say.For example, when a person says “How are you?” and you respond in a loud voice or in a concerned manner, it's considered interaction.
Another characteristic of mass communication that you'll come across is a large number of receivers.When communicating with a group of people, it is important to keep in mind that each receiver will bring different characteristics to the table when communicating.Different receivers will take up different topics and bring a different set of characteristics to the table.In some cases, you will need to communicate with many different types of receivers in order for your communication ideas to be fully expressed and taken into full effect.You should therefore consider the characteristics of your receivers when planning your communication strategies.
New media is also impacting communication.Each type of new medium has diverse different ways in which it can deliver messages.You can make use of several types of communication in many cases and reach a wide range of target audiences.For example, you can use the Internet in order to communicate with your audience.As a result, the amount of information also in turn becomes too much for the human mind to process in a timely and effective manner.This overload is not only unsound, but it also tends to make people impatient, which finally takes the form of arguments and other types of exchanges that are based on facts, assumptions or personal experiences.However, although you may have to deal with some constraints, the Internet is still a very powerful tool that should not be ignored.

The “resources” folder is for things like images, documents, and other items that are needed to complete your project. 3 “Final”, as you might imagine, is for the project files once the project has been approved and is done.“Scrap” is for anything you want to save from the project that doesn't belong in the “final” folder.

It's near impossible to find a photo quickly when you have thousands of photos all named something like “20231108 0978234.jpg”. So for photos, I like to have a date structure and folders for key events or categories, such as:2023>01 (for the month)>2023- 01 Mom and Dad 50 Anniversary LA.This way, you can either browse your photos by year and month or search for folders that include “Mom” “Dad” “Anniversary”, or “LA”.

Use tags.
In addition to creating a folder structure that works for you, consider tagging files. 5 Say, for example, you want to see all of your photos for all of your holiday celebrations.You can set up a tag for holidays. And then to narrow down the results, you can search using the tag.
