    Nowadays, we can find advertisements almost wherever we go. We are so used to them  {#blank#}1{#/blank#} we often do not even realize how many we see and hear in {#blank#}2{#/blank#}day. An advertisement uses words and pictures {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(persuade) people to buy a product or service, or to believe {#blank#}4{#/blank#} an idea. There are two main types of advertisements—commercial advertisements {#blank#}5{#/blank#}public service advertisements (PSAs). A commercial advertisement is {#blank#}6{#/blank#}someone has paid for to advertise a product or service. PSAs are often run for free, and {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (mean) to educate people about health, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (safe), or any other problem that affects public welfare. When {#blank#}9{#/blank#}comes to advertisements, we must all use our {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(intelligent) and not be a slave to them.

    Johnny Carson began his career in television in his {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (twenty). First he worked at local stations in Nebraska. Several years {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (late), he moved to Los Angeles, California. It was “The Tonight Show” {#blank#}3{#/blank#} made Johnny Carson famous for thirty years. He became {#blank#}4{#/blank#} most popular star of American television. He{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (call) “the king of late night”. Critics  (评论家) said Americans from all parts of the country liked him and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (feel) they knew him. He did not take his fame {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (serious). Carson's special skill was his sense of humor. Audiences laughed at his jokes {#blank#}8{#/blank#} he made at the beginning of his show. However, sometimes they laughed even {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (hard) at the jokes that failed. He was the most powerful performer on television. Many comedians and singers became successful after {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (appear) on “The Tonight Show”.

    In order to realize his dream, Bill Gates, the richest man in the world, gave up {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(study) in Harvard University, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} is the most famous in the world. He set {#blank#}3{#/blank#} a company and researched the computer software. As an old {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(say) goes, “Interest is the best teacher.” I quite agree with this idea. I began to be crazy {#blank#}5{#/blank#} English when I was a little girl. I got particularly interested in foreign {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(culture) and customs. To meet my curiosity, I read English stories every day. It seemed to be the {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(good) “meal” of the day. As {#blank#}8{#/blank#} result, I always did very {#blank#}9{#/blank#} in my English exams. Interest is the key to {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(succeed).

    My computer was broken so I couldn't read your two {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (e-mail) until today. I'm so sorry {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (hear) about your problem, but I'm glad you're feeling better and are recovering.

    You are right. We shouldn't be embarrassed about our weight. I think you look great as you are, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} you're a wonderful person. I know that the pressure to stay slim is a problem, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (especial) for an actress. However, your mother {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (know) best: nothing is more important {#blank#}6{#/blank#} health.

    It's the same in China-many people, some of {#blank#}7{#/blank#} are not overweight at all, are always going on a diet or {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (take) weight-loss pills, which are often {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(danger). I hope they can learn {#blank#}10{#/blank#} your story.

Love
