Corey Gottlieb was having a lousy day. The CEO of New York City’s Targeted Media Partners was in San Francisco last month to install 200 flat-panel TV screens—worth about $3,000 each— into the local Luxor cab fleet. But in tests, Gottlieb discovered that the metal mounts that support the screens were knocking customers on the knee as they climbed into the taxis. So he had to redesign the system, delaying the project at least a week. It was a slight setback for a venture aimed at delivering news, restaurant info and video ads at riders, but ultimately it didn’t deflate Gottlieb’s optimism. "The beauty of this is we can reach people when they’re out of their homes, money’s in their pockets and stores are still open."
Not to mention the fact that the passengers are also captive. You can turn off the TV; you can’t very well get out of a moving cab. Ventures like Gottlieb’s are making some accepted notions about advertising in the digital age seem pretty naive. Considering how the Web lets consumers customize news, entertainment and communications, some prognosticators have suggested that new technologies would give them control over intrusive commercials. Thanks to TiVo and the Internet, we were finally going to be masters of our living rooms, able to zip past the ads and watch only what we wanted, whenever we wanted.
Perhaps it’s no surprise, but the advertising industry is striking back, pushing its message into environments where there’s no such thing as the fast-forward button: elevators, cabs, bars, fitness clubs and fast-food restaurants. A billboard-only business backwater for decades, the industry known as outdoor advertising is now blossoming; its conferences are jampacked and revenues were up 6 percent last year, according to the Outdoor Advertising Association of America. "It’s the last mass medium," says OAAA president Nancy Fletcher. "With the changes taking place in the media landscape, outdoor[advertising]is just about the only way advertisers can predict and deliver a mega audience."
There are examples of this growth everywhere. Gottlieb’s company and a few rivals have recently struck agreements to put TV screens in cabs in Boston, Chicago and Las Vegas, along with San Francisco. Then there are elevators, once a setting suitable only for staring at the floor in awkward silence. A division of newspaper giant Gannett whose name tells you how it views elevator riders— Captivate Networks—has put TV screens in more than 500 elevators in the last few years, mostly in the East. But they’re now furiously moving westward. So, soon you’ll be able to stare up at ads—in awkward silence.
What does Gottlieb mean when he says, "The beauty of this is we can reach people when they’re out of their homes, money’s in their pockets and stores are still open"?
选项
A、Customers are being influenced to spend money in shops.
B、Cabdrivers are rushing to buy his flat-panel TV screens.
C、Cabdrivers are watching his TVs.
D、Customers no longer knock their knees as they get into the taxis.
答案
A
解析
属语义题。第一段介绍了Corey Gottlieb为了做广告在出租车上安平面电视的情况。他在段末说:“这样做的好处在于人们离开家后我们就能让他们接触到广告,钱在他们的口袋里,而且商店一直开着。”所以正确答案为A。B、C、D为主观臆断。
