[00:18.360] | No one can avoid being influenced by advertisements. |
[00:22.640] | Much as we may pride ourselves on our good taste, we are no longer free to choose the things we want, |
[00:29.440] | for advertising exerts a subtle influence on us. |
[00:34.240] | In their efforts to persuade us to buy this or that product, |
[00:38.520] | advertisers have made a close study of human nature and have classified all our little weaknesses. |
[00:46.640] | Advertisers discovered years ago that all of us love to get something for nothing. |
[00:52.600] | An advertisement which begins with the magic word FREE can rarely go wrong. |
[00:59.120] | These days, advertisers not only offer free samples, but free cars, free houses, and free trips round the world as well. |
[01:10.920] | They devise hundreds of competitions which will enable us to win huge sums of money. |
[01:17.440] | Radio and television have made it possible for advertisers to capture the attention of millions of people in this way. |
[01:26.280] | During a radio programme, a company of biscuit manufacturers once asked listeners to bake biscuits and send them to their factory. |
[01:36.600] | They offered to pay $10 a pound for the biggest biscuit baked by a listener. |
[01:43.160] | The response to this competition was tremendous. |
[01:46.680] | Before long, biscuits of all shapes and sizes began arriving at the factory. |
[01:53.040] | One lady brought in a biscuit on a wheelbarrow. |
[01:57.240] | It weighed nearly 500 pounds. |
[02:00.360] | A little later, a man came along with a biscuit which occupied the whole boot of his car. |
[02:07.320] | All the biscuits that were sent were carefully weighed. |
[02:11.440] | The largest was 713 pounds , |
[02:15.880] | It seemed certain that this would win the prize. |
[02:19.560] | But just before the competition closed, a lorry arrived at the factory with a truly colossal biscuit which weighed 2,400 pounds. |
[02:31.040] | It had been baked by a college student who had used over 1,000 pounds of flour, 800 pounds of sugar, 200 pounds of fat, and 400 pounds of various other ingredients. |
[02:45.200] | It was so heavy that a crane had to be used to remove it from the lorry. |
[02:50.720] | The manufacturers had to pay more money than they had anticipated, for they bought the biscuit from the student for $24,000. |

[00:01.080] | 征购大饼干筒 |
[00:07.600] | ^听录音,然后回答以下问题。 |
[00:13.040] | |
[00:18.360] | ^没有人能避免受广告的影响。 |
[00:22.640] | ^尽管我们可以自夸自己的鉴赏力如何敏锐,但我们已经无法独立自主地选购自己所需的东西了。 |
[00:29.440] | ^这是因为广告在我们身上施加着一种潜移默化的影响。 |
[00:34.240] | ^做广告的人在力图劝说我们买下这种产品或那种产品之前, |
[00:38.520] | ^已经仔细地研究了人的本性,并把人的弱点进行了分类。 |
[00:46.640] | ^做广告的人们多年前就发现我们大家都喜欢免费得到东西。 |
[00:52.600] | ^凡是用“免费”这个神奇的词开头的广告很少会失败的。 |
[00:59.120] | ^目前,做广告的人不仅提供免费样品,而且还提供免费汽车,免费住房,免费周游世界。 |
[01:10.920] | ^他们设计数以百计的竞赛,竞赛中有人可赢得巨额奖金。 |
[01:17.440] | ^电台、电视使做广告的人可以用这种手段吸引成百万人的注意力。 |
[01:26.280] | ^有一次,在电台播放的节目里,一个生产饼干的公司请听众烘制饼干送到他们的工厂去。 |
[01:36.600] | ^他们愿意以每磅10美元的价钱买下由听众烘制的最大的饼干。 |
[01:43.160] | ^这次竞赛在听众中引起极其热烈的反响。 |
[01:46.680] | ^不久,形状各异,大小不一的饼干陆续送到工厂。 |
[01:53.040] | ^一位女士用手推车运来一个饼干, |
[01:57.240] | ^重达500磅左右。 |
[02:00.360] | ^相隔不一会儿,一个男子也带来一个大饼干,那个饼干把汽车的行李箱挤得满满的。 |
[02:07.320] | ^凡送来的饼干都仔细地称量。 |
[02:11.440] | ^最重的一个达713磅, |
[02:15.880] | ^看来这个饼干获奖无疑了。 |
[02:19.560] | ^但就在竞赛截止时间将到之际,一辆卡车驶进了工厂,运来了一个特大无比、重达2,400磅的饼干。 |
[02:31.040] | ^它是由一个大学生烘制的,用去1,000多磅面粉、800磅食糖、200磅动物脂肪及400磅其他各种原料。 |
[02:45.200] | ^饼干份量太重了,用了一台起重机才把它从卡车上卸下。 |
[02:50.720] | ^饼干公司不得不付出比他们预计多得多的钱,因为为买下那学生烘制的饼干他们支付了24,000美元。 |
