Viral Marketing
Companies are always on the lookout for new ways to sell products. We're used to seeing ads in newspapers and on television. In recent years, a new type of ad strategy — viral marketing ( 病毒 性 营 销 ) — has become popular. It uses the Internet to spread information about a product or service.
The idea of viral marketing is the "word of mouth" effect, that is, to get people to recommend( 推 荐 ， 介 绍 ) a product to others. On the Internet, that can be done by email messages. Or, the information may be posted on forums, blogs, and other websites.
Advertisers can't force people to spread their message. So, they must think of creative ways to get people to help out. One good way is to give something away. For example, when somebody sends an email using a Hotmail account, there's an ad on the bottom. It tells others how to get a free account. Other companies give away branded screensavers, wallpaper, and sounds. Whenever they're seen or shared, it advertises the product.
Another way is funny and interesting videos. When someone comes across a great ad for BMW, they may send a link to their friends. They may even add the video to a forum or blog. Companies love the effect. It gets more people to watch their ads, visit their websites, and hopefully, buy their products.
Unfortunately, it's hard to plan viral marketing activities. There are many ads and websites on the Internet. So, designers and marketers must think up creative new strategies. If something is funny, interesting, or useful enough, people will tell their friends about it. If it includes giving something away, the viral marketing activity may be even more successful.

What do we mean by responsibility? To put it simply, it is a duty to consider the consequences（结果，后果）of our actions. In other words, we have a duty to control our behavior.
When we are children, we have few responsibilities. Our parents look after us and we generally don't have to worry about food or shelter（居所）. As we grow up, we gradually need to be responsible for more and more things. We learn how to make our own decisions and realize that we have moral duties. We have to be responsible for our lives.
We also have responsibilities that go beyond ourselves. Parents have the responsibility to look after their children. Beyond the family, people have a responsibility towards the community as a whole. It is responsible for us as a society to make this world a safe and pleasant place for everyone.
When we fail in our responsibilities, the consequences are most serious. Teenagers who stop their studies might make their own lives bad. Parents who are not caring for their own children properly, will put them in danger. By not following the traffic rules, careless drivers kill more than a million people around the world every year. Certain professions in our society, such as police officers, present to protect the public, and often risk their own lives in order to do their duty. However, their efforts depend on the support of ordinary people. If we pay no attention to our own responsibilities, society will become dangerous.
Whether we are shouldering heavy responsibilities, like doctors or lots, or simply taking responsibility for our own learning as students, we will always be judged on how well we perform our duties. For this reason, the hardest part of acting responsibly is admitting ( 承认 ) that we failed or that we made a mistake. Let's say you visit your friend's house and accidentally make an expensive teapot broken while your friend is in another room. The honest thing to do is of course to admit and apologize. Because this requires courage, some people take another way: they pretend that nothing happened. Perhaps a broken teapot might not be such a big deal, but in any given situation, we can choose to act responsibly.
Responsibilities are an important part of life since our actions have consequences. If everyone considered how their actions would affect（ 影 响 ）themselves and other people, the world would be a better place.
