Bad news sells.If it bleeds,it leads.No news is good news,and good news is no news.Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers.But now that information is being spread and monitored(监控) in different ways,researchers are discovering new rules.By tracking people's emails and online posts,scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.
“The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media,”says Jonah Berger,a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania.“They want your eyeballs and don't care how you're feeling.But when you share a story with your friends,you care a lot more how they react.You don't want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”
Researchers analyzing wordofmouth communication emails,Web posts and reviews,facetoface conversations-found that it tended to be more positive than negative(消极的),but that didn't necessarily mean people preferred positive news.Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility,Dr Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories:thousands of articles on The New York Times' website.He and a Penn colleague analyzed the“most emailed” list for six months.One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than nonscience articles.He found that science amazed Times'readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.
Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny,or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety,but not articles that left them merely sad.They needed to be aroused(激发) one way or the other,and they preferred good news to bad.The more positive an article,the more likely it was to be shared,as Dr Berger explains in his new book,“Contagious:Why Things Catch On.”

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 so making it possible to provide for export 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 labor,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 twentyseven 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 the public has the good sense not to buy the poor article more than once.If you see an article frequently advertised,it is the proof I know that the article 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 wellknown television personality declare 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 a detail such as the choice of the color of a shirt is a bit persuasive-advertising would be so boring that no one would pay any attention.But perhaps that is what the wellknown television personality wants.
[语篇解读] 本文主要论述了作者对广告的看法。

A.he is fairly familiar with the cost of advertising
B.everybody knows well that advertising is money consuming
C.advertising costs money like everything else

6.In the passage,which of the following is NOT included in the advantages of advertising?
A.Scoring greater fame.
B.Providing more jobs.
C.Raising living standards.
D.Reducing newspaper cost.
解析:A [细节理解题。从第一段的第三句开始,作者列举了广告的诸多好处,“...raise standards of living”与C相符;“...it causes an increased need for labor...”与B相符;“...without advertisements,your daily newspaper would cost four times as much”与D相符。只有A在文中未被提到。]

B.interested in nothing but the buyer's attention
C.correct in telling the difference between persuasion and information
D.obviously partial in his views on advertising

8.What attitude does the author hold for advertising?

5.Failure to ask good questions.
When it is your turn to ask questions,you should show your interest in the job by asking intelligent questions about the job opportunities and the position duties. ____5____ However,do not ask too many questions for the sake of asking questions—connect yourself to the job and take the initiative(主动权) to ask technical questions and other questions that present your ambition to advance your career.
