Question about database and service name

Hi list,
 
Reading the OU manuals Oracle 9i DBA Fundamentals II , in chapter 2 page 12, found
 
1-) An oracle database is represented to clients as a service. 
 
2-) A database can have one or more services associated with it. 
 
3-) A database can be presented as multiple services and a service can be implemented as multiple database   
       instances.
 
For the No. 2 :
      I interpret that I can have 2 or 3 or 4 services for just ONE DB.  Is that correct ?.  How can I do that ?
 
For the No. 3:
      I interpret that I can refer to the same DB with differents names.
 
As far as I understand, the DB instance name is unique, it can't be changed.  So how can I create several services names for one DB.
 
Or is just a trick in the TNSNAMES.ORA and LISTENER.ORA files.
 
Please can anyone give some light in that, I am totally confused !!!
