问题     The appeal of advertising to buying motives can have 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 advertisers 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 with the message that there were fewer calories in every piece. It turned out that the bread was not dietetic (低热量的), but just regular bread. There were fewer calories because it was very thin, but there were the same number of calories in every loaf.
    On the positive side, emotional appeal 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 his own situation. Are the benefits of the product important enough to justify buying it? An advertisement is intended to appeal to consumers, but it does not force them to buy the product. Consumers still control the final buying decision.
The reason why the bread advertisement is misleading is that________.
选项 A、the total number of calories in the loaf remained the same
B、thin slices of bread could contain more calories
C、the loaf was cut into regular slices
D、the bread was not genuine bread
答案A
解析 根据第二段最后一句“There were fewer calories because it was very thin, but there were the same number of calories in every loaf. ”可知，由于面包片很薄。所以每一片含有较少的卡路里，但每一条面包所含的卡路里数量是与其他面包一样的。故选A。
