A young woman took great pride in flowers in her yard. She had been raised by her grandmother who had taught her to love and care for flowers. So her yard was the most beautiful one her village.
One day, while looking through a flower list that she often ordered from, a picture of a plant immediately caught her eyes. She had never seen a flower like that before. “I must have it” she said to herself, and she ordered it.
When it arrived, she planted it at the bottom of a stone wall at the back of her yard. It grew vigorously, with beautiful green leaves all over it. Day after day, she took care of it, but there were no flowers.
One morning, as she stood looking at the plants, she felt disappointed. She wondered why her plant hadn’t bloomed(开花).
However, at this moment, her disabled neighbor invited her to her yard and said, “Thank you so much! You can’t imagine how much I have enjoyed the flowers that you planted! The young woman walked into her neighbor’s yard. She saw that on the other side of the wall the plant was full of flowers.
They were, indeed, the most beautiful flowers that she had ever seen. The plant had grown up through the crevices(裂缝) in the wall.
If you can’t see the results of your labor(劳动), it doesn’t mean that there isn’t any fruit.

Advertising is a highly developed twentieth-century industry. The development of radio, television, cinema, magazines and newspapers has gone hand in hand with the development of advertising. Why is advertising so popular? Is it a waste of money? It has been proved again and again that repeated advertising increases product sales. Since it increases production, the price can be reduced. Therefore advertising, instead of making a product more expensive, makes it cheaper.
Advertising is now a scientific business. Once managers would say jokingly, “ I know that half of what I spend on advertising is wasted, but I don't know which half.” Now, all parts of an advertising programs are properly measured and researched.
What makes a good advertisement? There have been major changes in advertising in the past sixty years. People read advertisements partly for information and partly for pleasure. Today's advertisements often start with a question, or a puzzle, with the purpose of attracting the reader's attention. Of course, most advertisements contain information. But this is usually contained in a text that is interesting and often funny. Humor is very important. Sometimes advertisements tell a story, or the story may be continued over a number of advertisements. However, there is a danger in this. It is possible that the reader or viewer will remember the advertisement but not the name of the product.
