• 1．I was reading these interesting stories behind a group of great logos in the world.Personally Nike is my favorite one-it's so simple.And I liked the stories behind them，which made me forget all other things.McDonal's，Apple，Mercedes-Benz and Adidas own great logos as well，and they are among my favorites.
     Nike
     In the Greek myth，Nike is the goddess of victory and the source of inspiration for soldiers.This logo represents the wing in the famous statue of the Greek goddess.Nike's logo was designed by Carolyn Davidson in 1971 for ＄35，and was registered as a trademark in 1995.
     McDonald's
     The logo was designed in 1962 by Jim Schindler to resemble the archshaped（拱形的）sign on the side of the company's then walk-up hamburger stand.Later on，the two golden arches were combined together to form the M.The McDonald's name was added to the logo in 1968.
     Apple
     There are different stories behind Apple's logo.The first logo was a reference to the religious story of Adam and Eve，in which the apple represented the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge.One year later，the second logo was designed in 1977 by Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne，and it described Sir Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree.This logo didn't stay long.One year later it was replaced almost immediately by graphic designer Rob Janoff's "rainbow apple"，a rainbow-colored silhouette（輪廓）of an apple with a bite taken out of it.And then the rainbow-colored apple was replaced by the one-colored logo in 1998.It has not been changed so far.
     Mercedes Benz
     The Mercedes-Benz logo，which was originally created by Gottlieb Daimler in 1909，consists of a simple description of a three-pointed star that represents its rule of the land，the sea and the air.The company was founded by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach.Mercedes is the name of Maybach's elder daughter，while Benz came as a result of a combination with Benz，Cie and DMG in 1926.
     Adidas
     The Adidas logo，which was created by the founder of the company Adi Dassler，represents mountains，pointing towards the challenges that are seen ahead and goals that can be achieved.The logo was used for the first time in 1967.

• 2．All Ric O Barry wants is to stop the dolphin-killing，so he is headed to this seaside Japanese town，Taiji.The American activist，who is the star of a new award-winning documentary that portrays the dolphin-killing here，got an unwelcome reception when he showed up here this week for the start of the annual hunt.
     His movie，The Cove（海豚灣），directed by National Geographic photographer Louie Psihoyos，was released in the United States a month ago but has not yet to come out in Japan.
     Scenes in the film，some of which were shot secretly，show fishermen banging on metal poles stuck in the water to create a wall of sound that scares the dolphins- which have supersensitive sonar（聲吶系統(tǒng)） -and sends them fleeing into a cove.
     There，the fishermen sometimes pick a few to be sold for aquarium shows，for as much as ＄150，000.They kill the others，spearing the animals repeatedly until the water turns red.The meat from one dolphin is worth about 50，000 yen，and is sold at supermarkets across Japan.
     Greenpeace and other groups have tried to stop the hunt for years.Activists hope The Cove will bring the issue to more people internationally-and eventually in Japan.
     Already，the Australian town of Broome dropped its 28-year sister-city relationship with Taiji last month，partly because of the movie.
     "Some regions have a tradition of eating dolphin meat，" said fisheries official Toshinori Uoya. "Dolphin-killing may be negative for our international image，but it is not something orders can stop."
     The town government in Taiji-which has made whales and dolphins its trademark-refused to comment about The Cove，or the growing international criticism against dolphin-killing.
     Many in Taiji take the dolphin hunt for granted as part of everyday life.They are defensive about The Cove，seeing themselves as powerless victims of overseas pressure to end a simple and honest way of making a living.
  
  （1）Viewers can learn from The Cove

  .
  A．the cruel and bloody dolphin-killing
  B．the beautiful Japanese seaside town Taiji
  C．the sale of dolphin meat around the world
  D．the advanced techniques to catch dolphins
  （2）What is the response to The Cove on the Japanese side？

  
  A．Japanese officials decided to ban dolphin-killing.
  B．Taiji broke up with its western sister-city Broome.
  C．The town government in Taiji kept silent on criticism.
  D．Most Japanese people were against eating dolphin meat.
  （3）What does the underlined word "defensive" probably mean？

  
  A．Feeling guilty for killing dolphins.
  B．Making the determination to change.
  C．Attacking those against dolphin-killing.
  D．Protecting themselves against criticism.
  （4）What can we infer from the passage？

  
  A．The Cove has not influenced Japan's international image.
  B．Many people in Japan have seen The Cove in the cinema.
  C．Taiji's dolphin-killing industry has been seriously damaged.
  D．The Cove has brought international attention to dolphin-killing.

• 3．If you discover that your credit card，cheque book，debit card or cash card is missing，telephone the credit card company or bank as soon as possible.Follow this up with a letter.If you suspect theft，tell the police as well.In most circumstances，provided you act quickly，you will not have to pay any bills which a thief runs up on your account.Most home insurance policies will also cover you against even this limited risk.
     Because plastic money is now so common，central registration schemes such as Credit Card Shield and Card Protection System exist to help customers whose cards are lost or stolen.Under the schemes you file details of all your cards-including cash cards and account cards issued by shops-with a central registry，for a small annual fee.Then，if any or all of your cards are stolen，you need to make only one phone call to the registry，which is open around the clock 365 days a year.As soon as you have called，your responsibility for any bills run up by the thief ends and the scheme's staff make sure that all the companies whose cards you had are notified.
     What you stand to lose on a stolen card：
     CREDIT CARD You will not have to pay more than ￡50 of the bills a thief runs up with your card.If you report the loss before the card is used，you will not have to pay anything.
     CHEQUES AND GUARANTEE CARD Unless you have been careless-by signing blank cheques，say --- you will not have to pay for any forged cheques a thief uses.The bank or shop that accepts them will have to bear the loss.
     DEBIT CARD （Switch or Visa Delta） The banks operate a system similar to that for credit cards，in that you are liable for bills up to ￡50.
     If your cash card is stolen：
     Legally，you can be made to pay back any sums a thief withdraws using your card，but only up to the time you report the loss and only up to ￡50，unless the bank can prove serious carelessness，such as writing your personal identification number on your card.
     ?Never keep your card and a note of your personal number（which does not appear on the card） together.
     ?Memorize your personal number if possible.If you must make a note of it，disguise it as something else-a telephone number，say.
     ?The same rules and precautions apply to a credit card used as a cash card.

• 9．閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)所給情節(jié)進行續(xù)寫，使之構成一個完整的故事。
      When I arrived at 6 a.m.jye.ai the large hospital kitchen，Rose was already checking name tags on the trays （托盤）.
      "Hi，I'm Janet." I tried to sound cheerful，although I already knew Rose's reputation for being impossible to work with. "I'm scheduled to work with you this week."
      Rose stopped what she was doing and peered over her reading glasses.I could tell from her expression she wasn't pleased to see a student worker.
      "What do you want me to do？Start the coffee？" I asked.
      Rose coldly nodded and went back to checking name tags.
      I filled the 40-cup pot with water and began making the coffee when Rose yelled， "That's not the way to make coffee." She stepped in and took over.
      Nothing I did pleased her All morning，her eagle eyes missed nothing and her sharp words hurt.
      Totally exhausted，I trudged the six blocks home late that June afternoon.As a third year university student working my way through school，I had never before met anyone like Rose.
      Fighting back tears，I wrestled with my dilemma alone in my room. "What shall I do？" The answer caught me completely by surprise.I needed to love Rose.
      Working with Rose the next morning，I ignored the hurtful remarks thrown in my direction and did things Rose's way as much as possible.As I worked，I silently began to surround Rose with a warm blanket of love.
      Over the next few days，an amazing thing began to happen.My focus shifted from what she was doing to me and I started seeing Rose as the hurting person she was.Then her icy tension began to melt away.
      Throughout the rest of the summer，we had numerous opportunities to work together.Each time，she seemed truly happy to see me.Her bitterness gave way as she started opening up.As I worked with this lonely woman，I listened to her，something no one else had done.I learned that she was burdened by elderly parents who needed her care and her own health problems.
      The days slipped by quickly as I finished the last several weeks of my summer job.I soon would be returning as a full-time university student and say goodbye to Rose.
