―Yes,‖ he said to himself in this mood of complete despair, ―I expect I shall leave here in the same way as Faria, my good friend Faria. The only way I shall ever leave this place is tied up in a bag as he is now.‖

Advertising readers people through varied forms of mass communication. These media（媒体）include newspapers, magazines, television, radio and outdoor signs. Advertisers buy space in newspaper and magazine to publish their ads. They buy time on television and radio to broadcast their commercials.

Magazines are usually read in a leisurely manner and are often kept for weeks of months before being discarded, while large, colorful outdoor signs, which people pass by repeatedly, easily attract attention. Other ways of advertising include the use of (1) transportation signs, (2) window displays, (3) point-of –sale displays, (4) telephone directories, and (5) novelties. 60.

On the other hand, America was always a country that offered financial opportunities for which education was nut needed: on the road from rags to riches, schooling-----beyond the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic----was an unnecessary detour.

Even today, it is still possible for people to achieve financial success without much education, but the number of situations in which this is possible is decreasing. In today’s more complex world, the opportunities for financial success is closely related to the need for education, especially higher education.
