Last Friday, I was standing near a subway exit, tried to call a taxi. But no luck. Then I thought of the taxi-booking app my friend had recommended and I booked a taxi through his cellphone. Soon it came, and I stepped in, feeling pretty proudly of my high-tech way and satisfied with the convenience brought by the app. So later, I was upset to find that the driver was busy looking his cellphone to get the next order. It was just then when I began to worry about my safety. What’s bad, the driver’s informations might be unreliable. How can we passengers’ legal rights be protecting if something bad happens? So be careful when you use the taxi-booking app the next time.

Asking for a raise can be a discouraging prospect for any employee. 1. If you’re a female employee seeking a raise, it matters to approach that conversation strategically. Here are a few tips for pulling it off successfully.
Do your research.
2. So if you’re making a case for a pay increase, you’ll need to gather some data on what others in similar positions are earning. To that end, do some research on sites like Salary.com. 3. Remember to collect the average earnings for all workers in your position and make your case for why you deserve to be paid similarly.
Don’t get emotional.
Women are often accused of getting emotional on the job. In fact, it’s that so-called sensitive nature that causes some people to claim they’re uncomfortable working with and promoting female employees. That’s why it’s extremely important to keep you cool during a salary negotiation. Be specific and present hard evidence of your value to the company. Try to focus on your positive contributions, rather than the negative feelings. And although the discussion might get heated, be sure not to yell or, worse yet, cry while it’s going down. 4.
5.
Given many news stories about how men out-earn women, you may tend to draw on some of that data as a reason for getting a raise. But be very careful about using that argument, because unless you have definitive proof that your male colleagues - with the same exact titles, experience, and responsibilities — are making more money than you, you’re better off avoiding that angle.
A. Don’t accuse your employer.
B. Staying calm will only help your case.
C. Take advantage of how much men colleagues earn.
D. It’s never a good idea to go into a salary negotiation blindly.
E. You are often paid less salary than your workmates in similar positions.
F. But women face unique challenges when it comes to requesting more money.
G. They allow you to search for compensation info based on industry and geographic region.
Procter & Gamble (P&G), one of the world’s biggest marketers, has announced a change in the way it buys advertising on Facebook. It has started cutting its spend on highly targeted ads and increasing its spend on ads that address much larger numbers of the potential audiences for its brands, which include Tide, Pampers and Gillette. Explaining this change of emphasis, P&G’s global brand building officer, Marc Pritchard, said, “We targeted too much, and went too narrow.”
Facebook’s astonishing income growth comes, in part, from its ability to deliver micro-targeted audiences（推送精准目标受众）to advertisers, and P&G in fact admits that it has wasted millions of dollars in the misguided pursuit of effectiveness.
Facebook used to be irresistible to advertisers. It presents advertisers this question: Instead of sending your message to millions in a television ad, why not use data to reach only those you need to reach? But as many people may have noticed, making perfectly targeted ads appears to be much harder than it sounds. Most digital ads are easily ignored. Information about consumers is not the same as insight into human beings.
The more fundamental problem with micro-targeting is that for big brands, advertising has never really been about messages—even brand owners have never quite realized it. It is about the creation of shared memories, triggered at the point of purchase. Think about some of the great brands: Nike, Apple, and yes, Pampers. If you buy them, it is because you know millions of others do, and because they seem to stand for something that, far from being unique to you, is common to all of us: achievement, creativity, and nurturing. The broader these brands go, the better they do.
When a consumer reaches for something on the shelf, they usually reach for the familiar. To achieve that status, a brand needs to have done something that lots of people regularly see, notice and enjoy. What seemed to be the wastefulness of TV was in fact its secret sauce. By reaching large numbers of people at the same time, TV ads had the power to turn brands into cultural icons, which took up consumers’ minds.
In its conversations with advertisers, Facebook now talks less about targeting, preferring to emphasize the large number of consumers that it can help brands to reach. It is investing in video functions and is encouraging its clients to make short films. After years of telling clients TV is wasteful, it is now doing a good job of imitating it.
1.Which of the following contributes to P&G’s strategy change?
A. The rise of digital media. B. The high cost of targeted ads.
C. The limitations of micro-targeting. D. The reduction of targeted advertising.
2.It can be learned that Facebook has already ________.
A. stopped delivering micro-targeted audience to advertisers
B. been faced with the challenge of slowing income growth
C. been blamed for its ineffective ads
D. lost its attraction towards P&G
3.According to Paragraph 4, micro-targeting is problematic with ________.
A. delivering messages B. building common values
C. creating unique experiences D. triggering the purchasing desire
4.What’s the author’s attitude towards Facebook’s opinion about TV ads?
A. Tolerance. B. Approval. C. Doubt. D. Hesitancy.
