    The key takeaways from the passage are that advertising is criticized for misleading consumers into buying products they don't need and for creating artificial wants and desires. It is also criticized for restricting competition and encouraging industry concentration.

    The basic criticism of advertising from the consumer's point of view is that it leads him to buy products that he does not need by presenting misleading and untruthful statements or by creating wants, needs, and desires in his mind that might not otherwise exist.

    Advertising restricts competition because only large companies can afford expensive, nationwide campaigns, thus limiting freedom of entry of new firms into an established market.

    From the consumer's point of view, the basic criticism of advertising is that it leads him to
    buy product that he does not need by presenting misleading and untruthful statements or by
    creating wants, needs, and desires in his mind that might not otherwise exist. In the first instance
    it is accepted that the consumer, of his own volition, has a need that is filled by the description of
    the advertised product but not necessarily by the product itself, whereas in the second the need is
    artificial and is stimulated entirely by the media.
    From an economic viewpoint, critics of advertising point to the enormous amount of money
    involved money that, they state, does not benefit the consumer although he is compelled to pay
    it. A second criticism is that advertising restricts competition because only large companies can
    afford expensive, nationwide campaigns, thus limiting freedom of entry of new firms into an
    established market.
    A definitive answer to these critics is obviously impossible. Regarding the first, it might be
    fair to say that economic growth and the creation of wealth might come more slowly without the
    aid of advertising.
    Regarding the second major criticism that advertising encourages the concentration of
    industry, there is no doubt that this is true. But not everyone agrees that industrial concentration
    necessarily acts against the interests of the consumer.

    Read the text carefully then do the activities.

    The solar system consists of the sun and everything that orbits around it: the eight planets and their
    moons, comets, asteroids, and various other objects. The solar system itself is a relatively tiny part of the
    enormous Milky Way galaxy. It orbits around the center of the galaxy once every 225 million years. The Milky
    Way galaxy is just one of billions of galaxies in the universe.

    At the center of the solar system is the sun, which is an average star. The sun contains 99 percent of the
    mass of the entire solar system. It is a huge ball of hydrogen and helium gas that is 1,392,000 kilometers in
    diameter. It has a temperature, at its core, of more than 15,600,000° C. The intense radiation emitted by the sun
    provides almost all the energy to heat the planets, and, in the case of Earth, to allow life to exist.

    After the sun, the largest bodies in the solar system are the planets. The eight planets in the solar system
    are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, They all have roughly circular orbits in the
    same direction, and most have at least one moon. They vary widely in size, temperature, composition, and
    distance from the sun.

    The solar system contains billions of comets, but most of them are too small or too far from the sun to be
    seen from Earth. Comets are dirty chunks of ice and rock that orbit the sun in highly elongated orbits. When
    their orbits bring them close to the sun (called perihelion), the sun's radiation causes them to shed particles and
    glow. At this point they are visible in the sky, but when their orbits take them far from the sun (called aphelion),
    they cool down until their next perihelion.
    (www.nasa.org/solarsystem)

    1. Are the following statements true or false?


    a. The Milky Way Galaxy is the unique one in the universe.
    b. The Sun’s heat is indispensable for life.
    c. Planets are similar in their geological composition.
    d. Comets become invisible when closer to the sun.
    2. Answer the following questions according to the text.
