35、history, advertising has been all effective way to promote the trading and selling of goods. In the Middle Ages, merchants employed “town criers” to read public messages aloud to promote their goods. By the end of the seventeenth century, when newspapers were beginning to be read by more people, pri
36、nted materials became all important way to promote products and services. The London Gazette was the first newspaper to set aside a place just for advertising. This was so successful that by the end of the century several companies started businesses for the purpose of making newspaper ads for merch
37、ants.Advertising spread quickly throughout the eighteenth century. Ad writers were starting to pay more attention to the design of the ad text.

38、ns, the use of pretty pictures and expressions easy to remember.Near the end of the nineteenth century, companies that were devoted to the production of ads came to be known 10as “advertising agencies.” The agencies developed new ways to get people to think of themselves as members of a group.

A recent research has found a new recipe of success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if the
41、y are introduced when still young, it is highly probable that the two pets will get along peacefully. However, it wasnt all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for
42、this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission.In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are learning how to ta
43、lk each others language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk dog, and dogs can learn how to talk cat.Whats interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn how to read each others body signals. Once familiar with each others presence and
44、 body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. The significance of the research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets to people who dont get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.33. When may some cats and dogs fight according to the speaker?34. What is found surprising about cats and dogs?35. What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?
