     If you open today's newspaper, what do you see? Ads! Look through a magazine. More ads! Turn on
the TV. Still more ads! Everywhere you look, someone has something to sell.
     Here are some ways ads get us to buy. Some ads use famous people. Stars are paid to sell a product.

promises (承諾). But can they keep them? No.
