问题    The appeal of advertising to buying motives can both negative and positive effects. Consumers may be convinced to buy a product of poor quality or high price because of an advertisement. For example, some advertisements have appealed to people’ s desire for better fuel economy for their cars by advertising automotive products that improve gasoline mileage. Some of the products work. Others are worthless and a waste of consumers’ money.
   Sometimes advertising is intentionally misleading. A few years ago, a brand of bread was offered to dieters(节食者) with the message that there were fewer calories(卡路里) in every slice. It turned out that the bread was not dietetic, but just regular bread. There were fewer calories because it was sliced very thin, but there were the same number of calories in every loaf.
   On the positive side, emotional appeals may respond to a consumer’ s real concerns. Consider fire insurance. Fire insurance may be sold by appealing to fear of loss. But fear of loss is the real reason for fire insurance. The security of knowing that property is protected by insurance makes the purchase of fire insurance a worthwhile investment for most people. If consumers consider the quality of the insurance plans as well as the message in the ads, they will benefit from the advertising.
   Each consumer must evaluate her or his own situation. Are the benefits of the product important enough to justify buying it? Advertising is intended to appeal to consumers, but it does not force them to buy the product. Consumers still control final buying decision.
It can be inferred from the passage that a smart consumer should______.
选项 A、think carefully about the benefits described in the advertisements
B、guard against the deceiving nature of advertisements
C、be familiar with various advertising strategies
D、avoid buying products that have strong emotional appeal
答案A
解析 文章前三段论述了广告正反两方面的影响，第四段告诫消费者“Each consumer must evaluate her or his own situation…”，由此可推知，作者认为消费者应有自己的判断。故选A。
