DEVELOPMENT OF ONLINE MARKETING With the introduction of the Internet, there came many changes to the way a company might carry out a marketing strategy. About ten years ago, we shopped only at local stores in the market place using cash. Now a new world has been opened up to people around the globe through the World Wide Web. We are able to browse the fanciest shops in the world from home, “virtually” that is. The technology of secure transactions on the Web has greatly improved and the rush to buy from online shops has demonstrated a growing consumer acceptance of online marketing. Increasingly, online marketing is no longer just an option. It is a necessity. Online marketing is an electronically-based industry. In short, it refers to the conducting of business through the Internet. It is a way of buying and selling goods and services, and negotiating trade through digital communications. ? Online marketing allows businesses to reach a wider market while cutting costs, saving time and eliminating tons of paperwork. Most online retailers ask the customers to pay with a credit card. Regular buyers are issued electronic or digital signatures which are protected by passwords, enabling them to transact business securely via Internet. Online marketing is still in its early stages, as problems such as how to deal with credit card fraud on the Internet still have to be dealt with. But its future looks rosy. With the development of computer technology, e-commerce will inevitably become a “must” in our everyday lives. There is no doubt e-commerce has come of age.1. __________ changed the way a company might carry out a marketing strategy over the past 10 years.()A. The InternetB. Local storesC. The consumers2.

The Law to Keep the Oil Industry under ControlThe Norwegian Government is doing its best to keep the oil industry under control.A new law limits exploration to an area south of the southern end of the long coastline;production limits have been laid down(though these have already beenraised);and oil companies have not been allowed to employ more than a limited number of foreign workers.But the oil industry has a way of getting over such problems,and few people believe that the Government will be able to hold things back for long.As on Norwegian politician said last week:“We will soon be changed beyond all recognition.”Ever since the war,the Government has been carrying out a programme of development in the area north of the ArcticCircle.During the past few years this programme has had a great deal of success:Tromso has been built up into a localcapital with a university,a large hospital and a healthy industry.But the oil industry has already started to draw people south,and within a few years the whole northern policy could be in ruins.The effects of the oil industry would not be limited to the north,however.With nearly 100 percent employment,everyonecan see a situation developing in which the service industries and the tourist industry will lose more of their workers to the oilindustry.Some smaller industries might even disappear altogether when it becomes cheaper to buy goods from abroad.Thereal argument over oil is its threat to the Norwegian way of life.Farmers and fishermen do not make up most of the population,but they are an important part of it,because Norwegians see in them many of the qualities that they regard with pride asessentially Norwegian.And it is the farmers and the fishermen who are most critical of the oil industry because of the damagethat it might cause to the countryside and to the sea.The Norwegian Government has tried to ______.A.encourage the oil companies to discover new oil sources.B.prevent oil companies employing people from northern Norway.C.help the oil companies solve many of their problems.D.keep the oil industry to something near its present size.

For the first time on record,the number of advertising-specific jobs in the U.S.is declining in the middle of an economic expansion,according to government data.What's going on?It's certainly not a case of fewer advertisements.The typical American has gone from seeing about 500 ads each day in the 1970s to about 5,000 today,according to a common industry statistic.That is one corporate message for roughly every 10 seconds of waking life.Instead,the mysterious decline can be explained by two developments.First,there are Facebook and Google.They are the largest advertising companies in the world-and,quite likely,the largest in the history of the world.Last year,90 percent of the growth of the digital-advertising business went to just these two firms.Facebook and Google are so profitable because they use their enormous scale and data to deliver targeted advertising at a low cost.This has forced the world's large advertising firms to preserve their profitability through a series of mergers,accompanied by jobs cut.s in the name of efficiency.The emergence of an advertising duopoly has coincided with the rise of"programmatic advertising,"a term that essentially means"companies using algorithms to buy and place ads in those little boxes all over the internet."As any Macl Men fan might intuit,advertising has long been a relationship-driven business,in which multimillion-dollar contracts are hammered out over one-on-one meetings,countless lunches,and even more-countless drinks.With programmatic technology,however,companies can buy access to specific audiences across several publishing platforms at once,bypassing the work of building relationships with each one.That process produces more ads and requires fewer people-or,at least,fewer traditional advertising jobs and more technical jobs.Second,there is the merging of the advertising and entertainment businesses.As smartphone screens have edged out TV as the most important real estate for media,companies have invested more in"branded content"-corporate-sponsored media,such as an article or video,that resembles traditional entertainment more than it does traditional advertising.Some of the most prominent names in journalism,such as The New York Times,BuzzFeed,Vice,and The Atlantic,are owned by companies that have launched their own branded-content shops,which operate as stand-alone divisions.As many media companies have tried to become more like advertising companies,the value of the average"creative-account win,"an ad-industry term for a new contract,has declined,falling by about 40 percent between 2016 and 2017.So there are two major themes of the decline of advertising jobs,one that has to do with the companies that now create them and one that has to do with the way brands prefer to market themselves nowadays.In short,the future of the advertising business is being moved to technology companies managing ad networks and media companies making branded content-that is,away from the ad agencies.Which of the following is true of"branded content"?A.It is produced by media companies.B.It is similar to traditional advertising.C.It advertises famous journals.D.lts value has declined in recent years.
