Many people may think that animals in the zoo are happy, free and lucky, but most of them are sad. Do you know why? Animals like tigers, lions, and bears usually live in forests or mountains. They run, jump, play with their children and catch small animals for food. But now they have to stay in cages ,small rooms in the zoo. They don’t have to find food by themselves because the zoo keepers feed them. They do nothing but eat, walk and sleep every day. Their life in the zoo is quite different from that in the forest because they are not free.

One night, I was sitting in my room half listening as my 15-year-old brother Tommy fought with my 12-year-old brother Kevin. I didn’t pay attention when Kevin rushed up the stairs with the hurt on his face.
About 20mintes later, as I was walking up-stairs I heard Kevin crying inside the bathroom. I knocked on the door and asked, “Hey, Kevin, do you want to talk?”
No answer.
I tried again, “Why don't you come out of there?”
Again, on answer.
I tried again, “Why don’t you come out of there?”
Again, on answer.
So, looking around, I grabbed a stack of(一摞) cards and a pencil and wrote, “if you don’t want to talk, we can write notes to each other..”
An hour later, I was still sitting on the floor outside the bathroom with two stacks of cards in front of me. One was blank and one was cards from Kevin on which he had translated all his yucky feeling into words for me. As I read one of Kevin’s notes, tears came to my eyes. It said, “No-body in this family cares about me. I’m not the youngest, and I’m not the oldest. Tommy thinks I’m silly and Dad wishes he had the other Kevin as a kid because he’s better at basketball. And you’re never around to even notice me.”
Tears came to my eyes as I wrote back to him. “You know Kevin, I really do love you and I’m sorry I don’t always show it . I am here for you and you are loved in this family.”
There was no answer for a while, but then I heard a tearing sound coming from inside the bathroom. Kevin, who had run out of words wrote on a torn paper cup. “Thanks.”
I wrote back, “For what?” It returned to me with “Loving me.” On it.
Since then, I try my best to never only half-notice my family members any more. Kevin and I have a closer relationship now. And sometimes when one of us notices that the other is upset, we’ll smile and say “Write it on a paper cup.”

It is easier to find songs for adults than for kids. The market in children’s music is growing, however. Babies learn about music from the simple songs that their parents sing to them. When the children are older, their parents might teach them songs as part of a game. BB King’s recording of Rainy Day Blues follows this tradition. Most of BB King’s fans, however, may not know about his recordings for children. They only know that he writes very popular blues(布鲁斯乐曲) songs for adults.
BB King, a great blues musician, recorded Rainy Day Blues for a company called Music for Little People.
The company began when a man named Leib Ostrow was looking for songs for his children. He looked for them in stores and looked through books. He could not find anything that he really liked, so he decided to begin a recording company of his own. Soon he was recording music for children. Many parents thought it was a great idea. So did many recording artists.
Music for Little People is located in northern California. It started as a mail-order business in 1985.Today it is one of the largest children’s musical and educational companies in the United States.

You’re in a department store and you see two fashionable young women, looking at a sweater. You listen to their conversation:
“I can’t believe it—a Lorenzo Bertolla! They are hard to find. It’s much cheaper than the one Sara bought in Rome.”
They leave and you go over to see this sweater. You’ve never heard of Lorenzo Bertolla, but those girls looked really fashionable. They must know. So, you buy it. You never realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agency. They are actually paid to go from store to store, talking loudly about Lorenzo Bertolla clothes.
Every day we notice what people are wearing, drinking and eating. If the person looks cool, the product seems cool, too. This is the secret of undercover marketing (秘密行销). Companies from Ford to Nike are starting to use it. It can reach people that don’t pay attention to traditional advertising. For example, consumers between the age of 18 and 34. They have a lot of money to spend, but they don’t believe ads.
So advertising agencies hire (雇佣) young actors to “perform” in bars and other places where young adults go. Some people might call this practice misleading, but the marketing manager Jonathan Reseller calls it creative. “Look at traditional advertising. Its effectiveness is decreasing”
