举一反三
(商业广告) thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether
you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard (广告牌) glides (滑行) by outside the bus window.
"Buy Super Clean Toothpaste." "Drink Good Wet Root Beer." "Fill up with Pacific Gas." Only if you sleep,
which is equal to turning the television off, are you spared the unending cry of "You Need It! Buy It Now!"
The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you"ve traveled that way before.
Usually some things have changed new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver
has a style of driving and it"s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless
(鲁莽的) or daring, the ride can be as thrilling (惊险的) as a suspense (悬念) story. Will the driver pass the
truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left hand lane (车道)? After a while, of course, the
excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus
rides more interesting. But you"ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can
make you very thirsty between stops.
The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there"s a kind of
expectation and excitement in that. The seat, of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now
you"ve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the arm rests even with
your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at no more ways to sit.
B. Films on television.
C. Advertisements (广告) on the billboards.
D. Gas stations.
B. To persuade you to take a long bus trip.
C. To explain how bus trips and television shows are different.
D. To describe the billboards along the road.
B. driving alone
C. a television set on the bus
D. no billboards along the road
B. they both have a beginning, a middle, and an end, with commercials in between
C. the drivers are always reckless on TV shows just as they are on buses
D. neither traveling nor watching TV are not exciting.
B. comfortable
C. tiring
D. boring
Microsoft is the richest man again for the eleventh successive year with a fortune of forty four billion dollars.
There are a record 691 dollar billionaires according to Forbes magazine. Between them they have a fortune
of two point two trillion dollars. The highest concentration of the ultra-rich is in New York followed by
Moscow and San Fransisco and then London and Los Angeles. But in total the very wealthy live in forty seven
different countries with Iceland Kazakstan Ukraine and Poland entering the list for the first time this year.
Laksmi Mittal, an Indian born steel tycoon (巨头) enjoyed the biggest increase in personal fortune. His net
worth has quadrupled (变成四倍) to thirteen billion dollars making him the world"s third richest man. Ingvar
Kamprad founder of the Swedish furniture chain Ikea also saw a big increase in wealth taking him to the sixth
place. Developing countries make more of a showing than in past years - there are for example three Russians
and four Indians in the top sixty richest people, though surprisingly perhaps none from China excluding Hong
Kong. Asian wealth is probably under represented as its usually spread among families whereas Forbes looks
at individuals. Relatively few women feature in the list - among them is JK Rowling, author of the Harry Potter
novels ranked 620th with a fortune of 519 million dollars. New entrants to the list include the founders of the
Internet search group Google Sergie Brin and Larry Page each worth more than seven billion dollars after their
company"s recent stock market debut. The richest Italian is the prime minister Silvio Berlusconi ranked number
25 in the global wealth league.

was introduced, most people did not like it as well as "regular" coffee, and it took several years to gain general
acceptance (introduction stage). At one point, though, instant coffee grew rapidly in popularity, and many
brands were introduced (stage of rapid growth). After a while, people became attached to one brand and
sales leveled off (stage of maturity). Sales went into a slight decline when freeze-dried coffees were
introduced (stage of decline).
The importance of the product life cycle to marketers is this: Different stages in the product life cycle
call for different strategies. The goal is to extend product life so that sales and profits do not decline. One
strategy is called market modification. It means that marketing managers look for new users and market
sections. Did you know, for example, that the backpacks that so many students carry today were originally
designed for the military?
Market modification also means searching for increased usage among present customers or going for a
different market, such as senior citizens. A marketer may re-position the product to appeal to new market
sections.
Another product extension strategy is called product modification. It involves changing product quality,
features, or style to attract new users or more usage from present users. American auto manufacturers are
using quality improvement as one way to recapture world markets. Note, also, how auto manufacturers once
changed styles dramatically from year to year to keep demand from falling.
B. remain at the same level
C. become unstable
D. improve enormously
B. promote its production
C. increase its popularity
D. speed up its life cycle
B. increasing usage among students
C. exploring new market sections
D. serving both military and civil needs
B. increasing product features
C. modernizing product style
D. re-positioning their product in the market
What are the basic elements (要素) of good manners? Certainly a strong sense of justice is one; courtesy
(谦恭) is often 1 more than a highly developed sense of fair play. A friend of mine once told me about a
time he was 2 along a narrow, unpaved (未铺柏油的) mountain road. 3 was another car that produced
clouds of 4 , and it was a long way to the nearest 5 highway. Suddenly, at a 6 place, the car ahead
pulled off the road. 7 that its owner might have engine trouble, my friend stopped and asked if anything
was wrong." 8 ,"said the other driver,"but you"ve endured (忍受) my dust this far; I"ll 9 with yours the
rest of the way."
Another element of courtesy is empathy (善解人意), a 10 that enables a person to see into the mind or
heart of someone else, to understand the pain or 11 there and to do something to minimize it. A man 12
alone in a restaurant was trying to open the cap of a beer bottle, 13 he couldn"t do it because of badly injured
14 . He asked a young busboy to help him. The boy took the bottle, turned his back 15 and loosened the
cap without difficulty. Then he 16 it again. Turning back to the man, he 17 to make great efforts to open
the bottle without success. 18 he took it into the kitchen and returned shortly, saying that he had managed
to loosen it-but only with a pair of pliers (钳子).
Yet another element of politeness is the ability to treat all people 19 , in spite of all status or importance.
20 when you have doubts about some people, act as if they are worthy of your best manners. You may
also be astonished to find out what they really are. Courtesy is the key to a happier world.

| In Kenya, educational and career opportunities are almost non-existent for people born with physical challenges. They face many forms of discrimination-including beliefs that their condition was caused by a curse. But one father whose son Brain was born deaf, mute and blind aims to change all that. Joseph Shiroko started a school four years ago that teaches students who can not hear, speak and who have very low or no vision a wide range of skills to support themselves. The baby clothes the students knit (编织) are well known in the local community. And the school has developed a reputation for its dried smoked meat products. Brain Resource Center, a boarding school, teaches deaf and blind young Kenyans from across the country a variety of skills they can use to earn a living. "We have a number of philosophies that inform what we are doing: accepting these people; loving them; giving them opportunities." said founder Joseph Shiroko. Teachers, most of whom are graduates from the school or are themselves physically challenged, work with students. Mary Kerubo, 22, has a passion for knitting sweaters, which she plans to continue in her village. "I feel comfortable here because Sween - my teacher understands me," said Kerubo. "Even if I do not see well, she always repeats her lessons again and again so that I may understand how to make sweaters. I know I will make it." Kerubo"s teacher, Sween Lyaka, was among the first graduates of Brain Resource Center four years ago. She says her students have a lot of unrecognized potential. Sween says in the future, she plans to purchase four sewing machines that she will use to teach students and produce and sell sweaters in her home village. The center also works with students" families to set up projects that will continue after the students graduate. Founder Joseph Shiroko"s son, Brain, was the inspiration behind Brain Resource Center. The senior Shiroko says he began the school initially as a project to teach Brain bakery skills. The family later expanded Brain"s training and brought in other young people with similar physical conditions. | |||
