Text-related Information Advertising is a form of mass selling. It is to be distinguished from other activities intended to persuade the public, such as propaganda and public relations. From its unsophisticated beginnings in ancient times advertising has burgeoned into (萌芽、 开 始 发 展 )a worldwide industry.
Text-related Information Advertising falls into two main categories: consumer advertising, directed to the ultimate purchaser. And trade advertising, in which the appeal is made to dealers through trade journals and other media. Both consumer and trade advertising employ many specialized types of commercial persuasion.
Text-related Information A relatively minor, but important, form of advertising is institutional advertising, which is designed solely to build prestige (名 气 , 声 誉 ) and public respect for particular business concerns as important American institutions. Each year millions of dollars are spent on institutional advertising, which usually mentions products or services for sale only incidentally (附带地).
Text-related Information The origins of advertising antedate ( 发生在…之前 ) the Christian era by many centuries. One of the first known methods of advertising was the outdoor display, usually an eye-catching sign painted on the wall of a building.
Text-related Information Archaeologists (考 古 学 家 ) have uncovered many such signs, notably in the ruins of ancient Rome and Pompeii. An outdoor advertisement excavated (发 掘 ) in Rome offers property for rent, and one found painted on a wall in Pompeii calls the attention of travelers to a tavern (小旅馆) situated in another town.
Text-related Information Advertising may be local, national, or international in scope. The rates charged for the three different levels of advertising vary sharply, particularly in newspapers; varying rates are set also by newspapers for amusement, legal, political, financial, religious, and charitable advertisement.
Text-related Information With about 3 million business enterprises using one or more forms of advertising, almost every American citizen hears or sees advertising every day. In the U. S. the money invested in advertising equaled approximately $370 per capita in the mid-1980 s. And in the late 1980 s, approximately $120 billion was spent in a single year on advertising to influence the purchase of commodities and services.
Text-related Information Although graphic forms of advertising appeared early in history, printed advertising made little headway (没 有 进 展 ) until the invention of the movable-type printing press (印 刷机) in Europe about 1440.
Text-related Information The trademark (商标), a two-or-three-dimensional insignia (平面或立体徽章) symbolizing a company or industry, dates from about the 16 th century, when tradespeople and guild members posted characteristic symbols outside their shops. Among the best-known trademarks surviving from early modern times are the striped pole of the barber and the three-ball sign of the pawnbroker (当铺老板).
Text-related Information Having proven its force in the movement of economic goods and services, advertising since the early 1960 s has been directed in increasing quantity toward matters of social concern. In the U. S. Modern advertising is an integral segment (部 分 ) of urban industrial civilization, mirroring contemporary life in its best and worst aspects.
Text-related Information By stimulating consumers to purchase commodities, advertising enables manufacturers and others to sell their products in larger quantities than they would otherwise; the increased volume of sales in turn enables companies to sell individual units at lower cost than if they were produced in small quantities.
Text-related Information Modern advertising plays an integral role in the development of markets of the low-cost goods made possible by the high productivity of American industry.

Language Points Advertising
Language Points 2 Advertising is a big business – and, to many people, a fascinating business, filled with attraction and excitement. It is part literature, part art, and part show business. 3 Advertising is the difficult business of bringing information to great numbers of people. The purpose of an advertisement is to make people respond – to make them react to an idea, such as helping prevent forest fires, or to make them want to buy a certain product or service.
Language Points
Language Points 5 Advertising is very old. It can be traced back as far as the public criers of ancient Greece – who, for a fee, shouted out messages about their clients’ products to one and all. But it first became important in the late 15 th century, when the merchants of the rapidly growing cities and towns needed a way to tell people where their goods could be bought.
Language Points
Language Points 8 The Industrial Revolution, in the 18 th and 19 th centuries, brought a new kind of advertising. Large factories took the place of small workshops, and goods were produced in large quantities. Manufacturers used the newly built railroads to distribute their products over wide areas. They had to find many thousands of customers in order to stay in business. They could not simply tell people where shoes or cloth or tea could be bought – they had to learn how to make people want to buy a specific product. Thus modern advertising was born. Advertising created new markets and helped to raise standards of living as people came to feel that they had a right to new and better products.

William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616), the great poet of nature, an English playwright/dramatist. He has been universally acknowledged to be the summit of the English Renaissance, and one of the greatest writers the world over. Shakespeare’s Life Shakespeare’s Plays Features of Shakespeare’s Drama
William Shakespeare was born on April 23 1564, in Stratford-on-Avon, a village in Warwickshire. At the age of seven he was sent to the local grammar school which he attended for six years. He read widely in the books current in his day and picked up “small Latin and less Greek. ” When Shakespeare was fourteen, his father fell into debt, and the boy
probably left school and became a country schoolmaster, to help support his family. In order to escape from persecution by a rich landlord – Sir Thomas Lucy, he was compelled to leave Stratford and seek refuge in London in 1586 or 1587. He must have gone through many hardships and undertaken many odd jobs. Then he became an actor of some dramatic troupe (戏班), playing minor parts.
He learned much of the technique of dramatic art from his personal experience with the stage. While leading the busy life of an actor, Shakespeare worked hard with his pen. He revised old plays and wrote new ones at the rate of about two a year. But somehow, he retired to his native town about 1611, though still in the prime of life.
Shakespeare died on April 23, the anniversary of his birth, in 1616. In his life-time, Shakespeare seems to have made no attempt to collect and publish his works, or even to save his manuscripts, which were carelessly left to the stage managers of theatres. After his death, two of his fellow-actors, Herminge and Condell, collected and published his plays in 1623.

b) Within about twenty-two years of his writing career, Shakespeare gave to the world nearly forty plays, no two of which invoke the same feeling or image among the audience. He has the power to distil (提 取 …精 华 ) the most lyrical outburst of the human mind under a dramatic situation and the ability to set it into word music.
The Third Period (1609 – 1612) Cymbeline. The winter’s Tale. The Tempest. Henry VIII.
c) Shakespeare was skilled in many poetic forms: the song, the sonnet (十 四 行 诗 ), the couplet (对 句 ), and the dramatic blank verse (无韵诗).
d) Shakespeare is a great master of the English language. He commanded a vocabulary larger than any other English writers. He used about 16, 000 words. Shakespeare and the Authorized Version of the English Bible are the two great treasuries of the English language.
William Caxton was the first English printer. He was born in the weald of Kent in 1422 and became a merchant, spending many years in Bruges. He learnt the craft of printing in Bruges and Cologne and set up the first printing press in England at Westminster in 1476.

Caxton translated the original French text into English and printed it in Bruges sometime between 1474 and 1475. 'The Recuyell of the Histories of Troy', printed by William Caxton 1474 -1475
When Caxton died in 1491 his business was taken over by his assistant Wynkyn de Worde. Soon after he moved from Westminster to Fleet Street in London where for many years publishers and newspapers continued the tradition of printing.
One of Caxton's most popular books was Geoffrey Chaucer's poem 'The Canterbury Tales'. Chaucer's stories told by the pilgrims on their way from Southwark in London to Canterbury sold so well that Caxton printed it twice, first in 1476 and again in 1483 when he corrected the text and added the pictures. 'The Wife of Bath' from Geoffrey Chaucer's poem 'The Canterbury Tales', printed by Caxton in 1483.

Lenin pointed out that the war had “the greatest, world historical, progressive and revolutionary significance. ”
