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：又是一个慢长的朗读过程，读到头昏。连贯起来读时，总是有些卡壳。我感觉到现在为止，还是以背而背。那些单词，在生活中并没有实际用起来，都是相对孤立的个体，并没有发挥多少用处。需要思考，这样的单纯背诵的模式需要改进，要和实际链接起来，要用起来。用熟悉了，到嘴边就不容易卡壳了。
