31、ughingly to myself, never thinking for one moment that such would be the case.When I came down the next morning Miriam was still asleep in her box, evidently tired out. And well she might have been. For there on the floor lay the cards scattered all about just as I had left them the night before. Th

33、s of rearranging them than if she had left them on the floor for me to fix. It was just too much for her to tackle, and discouraged, she went over and lay down in her box, where she cried herself to sleep.1.

39、me all about the product, showing me some images. We get it but we dont like it.”Since a Shanghai television station aired Chinas first TV commercial in 1979, most have been the plain, straightforward, tell-the-name-of-the-product-and-what-it-does kind. Those started disappearing the U.S. in the lat

40、e 1960s in favor of more subtle pitches using irony and humor. Now a study says Chinese commercials dont have to talk down to consumers anymore either at least the one-third of them living in Chinas prosperous cities, and who most interest advertisers.Even the Western agencies that win awards elsewh

41、ere for hip, inventive commercials usually keep it simple in China. After all this country only began flirting with capitalism 20 years ago and is fairly new to advertising.

And with a population of 1.3 billion, the worlds largest, China is a huge market. That is why the worl

43、ds largest companies, from Coca-Cola to Procter $ Gamble, are battling it out in China.

44、se advertisers and their agencies is that the Chinese dont yet get clever or subtle advertising and they prefer a straightforward ad with lots of information. But the April survey of almost 500 people in five Chinas largest cities discovered “a savvy urban population, tired of a diet of boring ads a

45、nd hungry to be treated as the sophisticated decision-makers they are.” In short, the Chinese appreciation of what makes a good ad is no different from their counterparts anywhere else in the world.1.

51、ng with Dan Scoville, 35, a shipwreck diver.
