8、an homes, companies relied mainly on print and radio to promote their products and services. The advent (出现 ) of television brought about a revolution in promoting products and services.

9、 promotion. By going online, companies can communicate instantly and directly with prospective customers. Promotion on the World Wide Web includes advertising, sponsorships and sales promotions like contests and coupons. In 1996, world wide web advertising revenues reached $ 300 million. Effective o
10、nline marketers do not merely transfer hard-copy ads(平面广告 ) to cyberspace. Successful sites blend promotional and non-promotional information, indirectly delivering the advertising messages. To encourage visitors to their sites and to create and cultivate customers loyalty, companies change informat
11、ion frequently and provide many opportunities for interaction. One of the best online promotion web sites is the Ragu Web site. Here visitors can find thirty six pasta recipes, take Italian lessons, and view an Italian film festival. But they will find no traditional ads. So subtle is the mix of pro

Intelligence was believed to be a fixed entity(存在，实体 ), some faculty of the mind that we all possess and which determines in some way the extent of our achievements. Its value therefore, was as a predictor of childrens future learning. If they diff
21、ered markedly in their ability to learn complex tasks, then it was clearly necessary to educate them differently and the need for different types of school and even different ability groups within school was obvious. Intelligence tests could be used for streaming(分组 ) children according to ability a
22、t an early age; and at 11 these tests were superior to measures of attainment for selecting children for different types of secondary education. 2. Today, we are beginning to think differently. In the last few years, research has thrown doubt on the view that innate intelligence can ever be measured
23、 and on the very nature of intelligence itself. There is considerable evidence now which shows e great influence of environment both on achievement and intelligence. Children with poor home backgrounds not only do less well in their school work and intelligence tests but their performance tends to d
24、eteriorate gradually compared with that of their more fortunate classmates. 3. There are evidences that support the view that we have to distinguish between genetic intelligence and observed intelligence. Any deficiency in the appropriate genes will restrict development no matter how stimulating the
25、 environment. We cannot observe and measure innate(内在的 ) intelligence, whereas we can measure the effects of the interaction(相互作用 ) of whatever is inherited with whatever stimulation has been received from the environment. Researches have been investigation what happens in this interaction. 4. Two m
26、ajor findings have emerged from these researches. Firstly, the greater part of the development of observed intelligence occurs in the earliest years of life. It is estimated that 50 per cent of measurable intelligence at age 17 is already predicable by the age of four. Secondly, the most important f
27、actors in the environment are language and psychological aspects of the parent-child relationship. Much of the difference in measured intelligence between “privileged“ and “disadvantaged“ children may be due to the latters lack of appropriate verbal stimulation (激发，促进 ) and the poverty of their perc
28、eptual experiences. 5. These research findings have led to a revision in our understanding of the nature of intelligence. Instead of it being some largely inherited fixed power of the mind, we now see it as a set of developed skills with which a person copes with any environment. These skills have t
29、o be learned and, indeed, one of them is learning how to learn. 6. The modern ideas concerning the nature of intelligence are bound to have some effect on our school system. In one respect a change is already occurring. With the move toward comprehensive education and the development of unstreamed c
30、lasses, fewer children will be given the label “low IQ“ which must inevitably condemn a child in his own, if not societys eyes. The idea that we can teach children to be intelligent in the same way that we can teach them reading or arithmetic is accepted by more and more people. A. Effect of Environ

Most of these live in New York City. Recent figures show that m
35、ore than half of the addicts are less than 30 years of age. Narcotic(麻醉剂 )addiction in the United States is not limited to heroin users.

Statistics show that his life span(寿命 ) may be shorted by 15 20 years. He is usually in trouble with his family a
38、nd almost always in trouble with the law. Some studies suggest that many of the known narcotic addicts had some trouble with the law before they became addicted. Once addicted, they may even become more involved with crime because it costs so much to support the heroin habit. Most authorities agree
39、that the addicts involvement with crime is not a direct effect of the drug itself. Turning to crime is usually the only way he has of getting that much money. His crimes are always thefts or other crimes against property. Federal penalties for illegal usage of narcotics were established under the Ha
40、rrison Act(哈里森法案令 ) of 1914. The Act provides(规定 ) that illegal possession of narcotics is punished by fines or imprisonment. Sentences can range from 2 10 years for further offences.

The first li
46、ghthouse was put up by the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1716 on little Brewster Island at the entrance to Boston Harbor. Paid for and maintained by “light dues“ levied on ships, the original beacon was blown up in 1776. By then there were only a dozen of so true lighthouses in the colonies. Little ov
47、er a century later, there were 700 lighthouses. The first eight lighthouses erected on the west coast in the 1850s featured the same basic new England design: a Cape Cod dwelling with the tower rising from the center or standing close by. In New England and elsewhere, though, lighthouses reflected a
48、 variety of architectural styles. Since most stations in the Northeast were built on rocky eminences, enormous towers were not the rule. Some were made of stone and brick, others of wood or metal. Some stood on pilings or stilts; Some were fastened to rock with iron rods. Farther south, from Marylan
49、d through the Florida Keys, the coast was low and sandy, it was often necessary to build tall towers there, massive structures like the majestic Cape Hatteras, North Carolina lighthouse, which was lit in 1870. At 190 feet, is the tallest brick lighthouse in the country. Notwithstanding differences in appearance and construction, most American lighthouses shared several features: a light, living quarters and sometimes a bell (later, a foghorn). They also had something else
