【正确答案】{{B}}Remain Alert in Face of Advertisements{{/B}}
With the introduction and development of market economy, advertisements have become a dominant feature on television. Undoubtedly advertisements constantly inform us about new products available on the market. They give us information about everything from medicine to cloths to cosmetics and cell phones, etc. However, there is a serious problem with advertisements. The information given by advertisement is often "misinformation", therefore we, as consumers, should remain alert when confronted with an explosion of TV commercials.
Advertising is a means by which producers try to influence the consumers to buy their products. They study people's psychology, find out our inner needs, and promise to satisfy our needs. More often than not, they exaggerate the advantages of the products, while hide the disadvantages. Advertising often leads us to buy something that we don't need and can't afford. Another kind of "misinformation" given by TV commercials is that life will be better if you use the advertised products. They make us feel dissatisfied with our life, and give us a false belief that we may become what we want to be in an easy way, that is, to use their products. Look at the brands of your toothpaste, shampoo, cell phone, and computer, and then you will know how much you have been influenced by advertisements.
Of course the law-making body should do something to regulate the making of advertisement, but as consumers, what we can do is to remain alert in face of advertisements in order to be able to tell what is true information from what is false.
