20、than most people to search for knowledge. he once said.The author of the 1988 bestseller A Brief History of Time was given only a few years to live when he was diagnosed （诊断）with MND as a 22-year-old student in 1964.MND is the collective name for a group of diseases that affect the nerves （神经）in the

28、g in a city sees thousands of ads every single day.However, ads dont just act as a tool fbr getting people to buy things; they also serve as a window into cultures, societies and history.Modern adverts began to appear in the 18th and 19th centuries, since advances in printing techniques allowed more

30、thing problems.And a US ad from a 1955 newspaper advised mothers to mix the sugary soft drink A7 Up with their babys milk.These days, of course, the harmful effects of both smoking and sugary drinks are well known.But although these adverts seem unusual to us now, perhaps future generations may cons
31、ider some of todays ads to be just as bizarre.Advertising often serves as an indicator fbr what society considers to be socially acceptable and desirable at the time.
