           Several weeks ago, our headmaster, Mr. Gaudi, told usthat our school had been chosen to
    compete on Smart Aleck-a game show which my best friend Carla and I both love. Carla has a
    good imagination, and I know a lot of history, so we thought we’d be good   1   for the team.
           A few days later, Mr. Gaudi held a meeting with everyone interested in the   2   . He told us
    that Smart Aleck uses a five member team. He also said that three more people would be needed
    as backup(替补). Unluckily four times that many students were at the meeting. So Mr. Gaudi
    said we would have a    3    and the top eight scorers would become the team and the backup.
    Everybody agreed that this was a   4   way to decide.
           Yesterday, all of the hopefuls went to the dining hall after school. We would have to decide the
    starting line-up(阵容).Mr. Gaudi acted as the host. After a couple of hours, all the   5   on the
    team were set except one. Carla and I   6   for that last position.We had to hold a one-on-one
    competition between the two of us.The winner would be on the team and the loser would be the
    backup.
           Midway through our two-person competition,I was starting to pull ahead.   7   I saw the look
    on Carla's face.I waited for a second and knew what I had to do.As much as I wanted to be on
    Smart Aleck,Carla wanted   8   even more.So,starting with my next question,I held back and let
    Carla   9   , just by a little bit.Her expression as she   10   she would be on the show made up
    for my not being on the team. And since I will go as backup, I'll still have the fun of seeing the
    show up close.
           Was I   11   by not trying as hard as I could?I don't think so.No one noticed,and Carla and
    I didn't   12   it.It won't hurt the team because Carla will be a very good competitor on the real

    gives people a chance to connect with other people," said MeeraSodha, Ping! Project Manager.
           One of the towns that took part in the project was Hull, a city in England. Forty-five tables were put
    into the city. JakobAdamski, an ESOL student learning.English, said, "I really enjoyed playing table tennis

           The right name is important in the business world.  All you have to do is think of the names for
    some of the products you buy every day and you'll agree that the name and the product are connected
    in the everyone's mind.
           In many countries, successful trade or brand names are protected by law. This is so that other
    companies cannot make a product and,  in fact,  be buying something different. Businesses register a
    company or a product name with the government.  In fact,  more than 1,000 product and company
    names are registered every hour.  Many companies spend a lot of money to find the right name for
    their products. A good example of this is.  In the car industry. Some successful names for cars have
    powerful associations (联系).The Ford Mustang and the Jaguar are only two examples of choosing
    the names of animals that are fast and strong.
           When a U. S company decides to sell its product in another country, it has to make sure that the
    product name translates properly. When Coca-Cola introduced its soft drink to China, it looked for
    the right name.  It wanted a name that would do two things.  One was to present its image(形象)in
    Chinese and the second was to be close to its first brand name-Coke. It took some efforts before
    finding the right word -which sounds similar and translates as "happiness in the mouth". Asian company
    names are not new to the United States. The brand names of Samsung and Sony have been successful.
    Finding the right brand name is a big business. Asian companies that sell to foreign markets pay to find
    a name that will connect with its customers. There are even naming companies that specialize in inventing
    product names. These companies can charge (要价)up to $100,000 a word for their creations. But it's
    worth it. Successful companies know how important the right brand names are for their development.

    1. Why are trade names protected by law in many countries?
    A. To make companies pay for naming service.
    B. To help people choose the best products
    C. To present good images of the products.
    D. To prevent good images from being copied
    2. What can we learn from the passage?
    A. Many companies care about the cost of finding the right names
    B. Creative trade names can help companies to have a larger sale
    C. The government often does business with naming companies
    D. It is considered necessary for cars to be names after animals
    3. What's the best title for the passage?
    A. The Business of Names

          Reading Oliver James'Affluenza,I thought about what often happens at home.My 12-year-ole
    daughter is in tears."I have so take a test tomorrow.I don't understand any of it,"she cries out.After
    shouting and shutting her door,she calms down enough to go through her notes.The following dry I
    ask her how the test went and the just says"OK,I got a nine".
           "Wow.well done!"I say,before she finishes with "But I never get a ten!"
    According to James,this obsession with getting top marks has been a bad development, which
    encourages people to think of education in terms of work and money. To test this, I asked my
    daughter why she was so worried about her tests. She looked at me as if I was thick. "Well, if I
    don't get good grades,I won't be able to afford nice things like a car and stuff."
           I was quite surprised,because I don't consider myself a pushy parent.But James suggests
    and it leaves students feeling failures even if they are very bright.He points to the Danish system
    (体制)of education as a better model.Creating happy citizens who have good social skills is seen
    as more important than high achievements at school or the needs of business.
           For me,  I cannot remember the last time I had to work out the area of a circle,recite a
    Shakespeare poem or grammar rules,yet I have lived a happy life.What I really needed to learn
    at school was how to make polite conversations,or how to avoid getting into debt or how to
    develop good personality.
           This is in fact similar to what Oliver James really has in mind. And he is looking for schools
    where students are encouraged to find and follow their own interests, something more like Tongjon.
    Tongjon has been developed in some Korean private schools.  It is quite different from the more
    rigid system of learning things by heart that is used in Korea, and indeed in many other school
    systems around the world.
          As the Russian poet Pushkin said,"Inspiration(灵感)is needed in geometry(几何学)just as
    much as in poetry ",  and inspiration does not come from endlessly revising for tests or getting
    worried about them .
    1. What does the writer probably think of his/her daughter?
    A. She sets herself a goal too high to reach.
    B. She should be more polite to her parents.
    C. Sheis hard-working but not very bright.
    D. She takes her grades much too seriously.
    2. What does the word "obsession"in paragraph 3 mean?
    A. A plain and unavoidable fact.
    B. A satisfied and very proud state.
    C. A practical and widely-used way.
    D. A fixed and often unreasonable idea.
    3. What can we infer from the passage?
    A. Social skills are as important as high grades.
    B. Interest in grades can shake self-confidence.
    C. The writer regrets not having studied hard at school.
    D. Danish educational system is for very smart students.
    4. The writer wants to tell us that____.
    A. learning happily is the key to self-development.
    B. top marks may be helpful to increase one's interest.
    C. tests should be improved to give children inspiration.
    D. education should meet one's needs for word and money.
