Before posters(海报) were created, people got their news from someone who ran around town shouting it. People shouted the news because paper cost a lot. Also, copies of messages had to be made by h 81 . It took a long time to make 100 copies of a message.
Once the printing press was invented, news could be spread more quickly. People made posters that told what was h 82 , and they hung them on walls. Printing presses made copies quickly, so the news could be spread quickly.
Finally, even faster printing presses were invented. People didn’t need to read posters for the news any more. I 83 , they could read newspapers, which could tell them the news quickly and cheaply.
Posters then became the main t 84 of advertising events or products for sale. Posters would tell people about places to go, things to buy, and who they might vote for. Even today, when most homes have radios and TVs, posters are used to advertise products and events.
Posters used to be much s 85 , too. Today, posters can cover large billboards(广告牌) that can be seen from a long distance. Advertisers hope that a colorful billboard will c 86 the eye of people going past. If the billboard interests people, advertisers hope that people will buy a product or go to an event.
Posters today are also used to advertise bands, movies, or TV shows. Many posters are made to be used in the same way as paintings. Some people hang posters in their homes, offices, and even schools. When a poster is used as art, advertisers can make money in t 87 ways. They can make money from the sale of the poster. They can also advertise their product so more people will know about it.
Look around you. What posters are in your home or your classroom?

Many years ago, when I was new out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents’ home in Missouri for Christmas. Suddenly, I found black smoke pouring from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I was supposed to do. A car pulled up behind me. A couple came out. They said they would take me to my parents’ home. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterwards, I received a Christmas present from them. A note in it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In the late afternoon I returned to my car and found that the battery was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership – a shop selling cars – was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen waiting beside the door.
“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?” I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment. When I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said.
“Thank you” – two powerful words. They’re easy to say and mean so much.
88. Where did the writer’s parents live many years ago?
. What did the couple do to help the writer?
90. Why did the writer visit the nearby town?
91. What was the trouble that the writer explained to the salesmen?
