The Chinese horoscope is one tradition that connects your personality with the year of your birth. According to the Chinese horoscope, each year is represented by a different animal. There are twelve animals in the horoscope, and they repeat every twelve years. For example, the year 2000 was the year of the dragon, and the year 2012 will be the year of the dragon again. In order after the dragon, the next animals on the calendar are the snake, the horse, the sheep, the monkey, the rooster, the dog, the pig, the rat, the ox, the tiger, and the rabbit. These horoscope animals influence the personality of someone born that year. Were you born in 1983? That was the year of the pig. You are honest and affectionate. Were you born in 1982, the year of the dog? Then you are hardworking, but also a little pessimistic. If you were born in 1984, the year of the rat, you are charming and generous. If you were born in 1985, the year of the ox, you are calm, sincere, and stubborn. 1986 was the year of the tiger. Tigers have a good attitude toward life and are loyal to their friends.

The 100 largest advertisers spend an average of 65 percent of their advertising budgets on television. Food companies spend about 75 percent of their budgets on television, and companies that make games and toys spend about 90 percent. A main advantage of television to advertisers is that it brings sight, sound, and action directly to consumers in their homes. Advertisers can explain and demonstrate their products to viewers who are enjoying a TV program and cannot easily avoid the commercials. In addition, network television reaches a vast, nationwide audience at a low cost per viewer. For example, a 30-second commercial on a TV network may cost $1 million. But if 50 million viewers watch the commercial, the advertiser pays only cents for each person who sees the ad. The majority of TV commercials consist of short spot announcements, most of which last 30 seconds. The commercials are usually run in groups of three to six. Television networks and stations generally limit commercial time to about 10 minutes per hour during prime time and 16 minutes per hour during most other broadcast times. Prime time refers to the evening hours, when TV programmes draw the largest audience. 36. It costs food companies to advertise their products on television.

Loud noises instinctively signal danger to any organism with a hearing mechanism, including human beings, in response, heartbeat and respiration accelerate. In fact, there is a general increase in functioning brought about by the flow of adrenaline released in response to fear. Because noise is unavoidable in a complex, industrial society, we are constantly responding in the same ways that we would respond to danger. Recently, researchers have concluded that noise and our response may be much more than an annoyance. It may be a serious threat to physical and psychological health and well - being, causing damage not only to the ear and brain but also to the heart and stomach. We have long known that hearing loss is America's number one nonfatal health problem, but now we are learning that some of us with heart disease and ulcers may be victims of noise as well. 36.
