这周的“每周一段”的段落选自《新概念英语》第 3 册第 26 课 Wanted: a large biscuit tin（《征购大饼干筒》）
文本
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.
