Lesson26(1) Wanted: a large biscuit tin

No one can avoid being influenced by advertisements. Much as we may pride ourselves on our good taste, we are no longer free to choose the things we want, for advertising exerts a subtle influence on us. In their efforts to persuade us to buy this or that product, advertisers have made a close study of human nature and have classified all our little weaknesses. Advertisers discovered years ago that all of us love to get something for nothing. An advertisement which begins with the magic word FREE can rarely go wrong. These days, advertisers not only offer free samples but free cars, free houses, and free trips round the world as well. They devise hundreds of competitions which will enable us to win huge sums of money. Radio and television have made it possible for advertisers to capture the attention of millions of people in this way. During a radio programme, a company of biscuit manufacturers once asked listeners to bake biscuits and send them to their factory.

练习感悟:1.今日份因赶车身心有些疲惫，依然还是硬着头皮把卡打完了，忽然想起龙哥说的:最好的休息是切换大脑，人分为左半脑和右半脑，一半负责创造，一半负责重复。重复的用累了，可以用创造的那边，都累了，还可以跑步，通过运动兴奋。创造使我精神，创造使我忘记疲惫，so,继续努力鸭鸭鸭！！！
