近来，某书店生意不景气。假若你是店员，请你给店主写份报告，提出自己的建议，以吸引多的年轻人来店购买书刊。

A few months after returning the US from Germany, I took part in a college course in French. Since I have learned to speak German good in Germany, I thought that it might be interested to begin studying another language. At the first class, the teacher ask us to do a pronunciation exercise, in which he would say a word or two in French, and each student would do their best to copy. When he got to me, he kept having me to say more words, and I finally asked him why. “I find it great funs. It’s the first time I’ve heard an American speak French with a German accent.” he explained it.  

Making an advertisement for television often costs more than a movie. For example, a two-hour movie costs $6 million to make. A TV commercial can cost more than $ 600 a second. 54  Which is more valuable, the program or the ad? In terms of money---and making money is what television is all about—the commercial is by far the most important.

Research, market testing, talent, and money—all come together to make us want to buy a product.  55  The sales of charm went up once the ads began. TV commercials actually buy their way into our head.  56 

And the ads work because so much time and attention are given to them.  57 If you want to get a lower-middle-class buyer, make sure the announcer has a tough, manly voice. Put some people in the ad who work with their hands. If you want to sell the products to an upper-class audience, make sure that the house, the furniture, and the hairstyles are the types that the group agree with . if you want the buyer to feel superior to the character selling the product, then make that person so stupid or silly that everyone will feel great about himself or herself.

We laugh at commercials. We don’t think we pay much attention to them.  58 The making of a TV commercial that costs so much money is not a kid stuff. It’s a big,big business. And it’s telling us what to think, what we need, and what to buy. To put it simple, the TV commercial is a form of brainwashing.

E. Here are some rules of commercial ad making.

F. TV commercials are a good guide to buyers.

G. But evidence shows we are kidding ourselves.
