Mum went to Peter’s bed and said, “I want to borrow Tim’s radio for you.” Peter touched the letter in his pocket and said, “Thanks, Mum ! But you are so tired now.” “Today I want to send you a special gift on the radio. It will surprise you. I will come back soon.” Mum said and quickly left in the heavy snow.

Peter took out the letter. He got it in the afternoon. Mum didn’t know about it. Mum wrote in the letter: The 26^th of this month is my son Peter’s birthday. Could you please bless(祝福）him on Happy Family? He has been ill for one month. The radio station wrote on the top: I’m sorry to tell you that we have canceled(取消） this program.

Mum came back with a radio. She walked very slowly. There were lots of snow on her clothes. And the program began quickly.

Next Peter got very surprised. “Originally(原來），we planned to cancel this program, but lots of people like it very much. Now, let’s bless the following people together, Kate, Martin, Linda...”The list was long. Mum was too tired and she fell asleep. Peter didn’t hear his name to the end. But he was quite moved(被感動). He woke up Mum, “Mum, I heard my name just now. They said I am a very good boy. I am very happy. Thank you for your nice birthday gift, Mum!” Mum smiled with tears. Peter also smiled with tears. He believed it was the best birthday gift for him.

Open today’s newspaper. What do you see? Ads! Look through a magazine. More Ads! Turn on TV, still more ads! Everywhere you look, someone has something to tell.

Here are some ways ads get us to buy.

Some ads use famous people. Stars are paid to sell a product. Think about it. Do they really know about medicine? Do they know about soft drink? These people may be famous. But they may not know about what they are selling.

Some ads make you think you’re getting the word of an expert. They say, “Doctor said.” A man in a white coat comes on TV. He looks nice. “I use bright and white,” He says. This man looks like a doctor. But he is an actor. He has been paid to sell this product.

Does soap have anything to do with a pretty child? Not much. But ads may show their product with something nice such as the sun, the flowers and so on. Such an ad is about feelings rather than facts.

Ads are full of strong words, and words like “new” and “improved” have power. They can help a produce sell. The soap may be called “Spring Rain”. A car may be called “Tiger”. Strong words work on our feelings.

Some ads make promise. But can they keep them? No.

Some ads use our fear of being too late. “Buy now!” They say, “Selling ends soon.” Check to see if this is true. Don’t hurry. Take time to think.

All ads hope we will buy something, do something, or think in a certain way. Know what ads are doing. Ask questions to yourself. Don’t let their words and pictures fool you.

A．they know every product well
