Practice Listening: Fill in the Blanks (Type In) ID: #48717 Long Efficacy of Advertising
Instructions
* Fill in the missing words into the blank fields
We  hope  to  have  something  meaningful  to  say  in  our  next  book  about  the  efficacy  of  advertising.  This  is  a  huge  question  that    everything  from  commerce  to  politics  to  journalism.  But  for  now,  let  me  give  one  example.  My  kids  were  recently  watching  a  Yankees-Red  Sox  day  game  on  TV,  broadcast  on  the  YES  network.  One  of  the  commercials  was  an  anti-smoking  ad    placed,  I  believe,  by  the  City  of  New  York.  It  was  a  gritty,  documentary-style  spot,    a  surgeon  talking  to  the  camera,  then  showing  the  patient  he  was  about  to  operate  on.  The  patient  was  a  man  whose  toes  were  blackened  and    away.  The  image  of  the  foot  was  extremely  .  "It's  gangrene,"  the  surgeon  said,  and  then  he  drew  on  the  man's  leg  with  a  marker  to  show  where  he  was  about  to  take  his    and  cut  off  the  leg.
