　　An interesting theory in economics is demonstrated by the Head Man of a small mountain tribe. It seems that this tribe was good at making straw mats that had great sales potential in the 61 market. The representative of an American company went to visit the tribe and walked to make a good business deal. He 62 to the Head Man and declared that his company would like to 63 several thousand places. Undoubtedly, he said, the business deal would be profitable to the tribe.

　　Passage 2

　　Television is the most effective brainwashing medium ever invented by man. Advertisers know this to be true. Children are affected by television in 71 we scarcely understand. In the fall of 1971, I was assigned a story concerning a young white woman living on the fringe of Boston's black ghetto. Her car had 72 out of gas. She had gone to a filling station with a can and was returning to her car 73 she was trapped in an alley by a gang of black youths. The gang poured gasoline over her and set fire to her. She died 74 her burns, It was later established that some of the youths involved had, on the night before the killing, 75 on television of rerun of an old movie in which a drifter is 76 on fire by an adolescent gang. There is some kind of strange reductive process at work here. To see something on television robs it 77 its reality and then when the same thing is acted out it is like the reenactment of something unreal. In 78 words, when the gang set fire to the girl, they were imitating what they had seen on a screen, as if they 79 were on a screen, and a story. I don’t think we have even begun to realize how powerful a medium television is. It has already 80 very clear that the candidate with the most television appeal wins the election.
