Just five one-hundredths of an inch thick, light golden in color and with a perfect 「 curl,」 the Lay』s potato chip seems an unlikely weapon for global domination. But its maker. Frito-Lay. Thinks otherwise.」 Potato chips are a snack food for the world,」 said Salman Amin, the company』s head of global marketing. Amin believes there is no corner of the world that can resist the charms of a Frito-Lay potato chip.
Frito-Lay is the biggest snack maker in America. owned by PepsiCo. And accounts for over half of the parent company』s $3 billion annual profits. But the U.S. snack food market is largely saturated, and to grow. the company has to look overseas.
Its strategy rests on two beliefs: first a global proct offers economies of scale with which local brands cannot compete. And second, consumers in the 21st century are drawn to 「global」 as a concept. 」Global」 does not mean procts that are consciously identified as American, but ones than consumes-especially young people-see as part of a modem, innovative(創新的)world in which people are linked across cultures by shared beliefs and tastes. Potato chips are an American invention, but most Chinese, for instance, do not know than Frito-Lay is an American company. Instead, Riskey, the company』s research and development head, would hope they associate the brand with the new world of global communications and business.
With brand perception a crucial factor, Riskey ordered a redesign of the Frito-Lay logo(標識).The logo, along with the company』s long-held marketing image of the 「irresistibility」 of its chips. would help facilitate the company』s global expansion.
The executives acknowledge that they try to swing national eating habits to a food created in America, but they deny that amounts to economic imperialism. Rater, they see Frito-Lay as spreading the benefits of free enterprise across the world. 「We』re making procts in those countries, we』re adapting them to the tastes of those countries, building businesses and employing people and changing lives,」 said Steve Reinemund, PepsiCo』s chief executive.
21.It is the belief of Frito-Lay』s head of global marking that_____.

22.What do we learn about Frito-Lay from Paragraph 2?
A) Its procts use to be popular among overseas consumers.
B) Its expansion has caused fierce competition in the snack marker.
C) It gives half of its annual profits to its parent company.
D) It needs to turn to the word market for development.

A)consumers worldwide today are attracted by global brands
B)local brands cannot compete successfully with American brands

B)To promote the company's strategy of globalization.

In most American hearts, Mark Twain is a great famous writer. Many of his books are still translated and printed in America or the other countries in the world now. However, he was e 92 【92.ever】a printer, river pilot, soldier and lived a hard life before he became a famous writer.
在大多數美國人的心目中，馬克吐溫是最著名的作家。他的許多書籍至今仍在美國國內和世界上其他國家翻譯並出版。可是，在他出名之前，他曾經是一個印刷工、航道領航員、軍人，過著艱難的生活。
When Mark Twain was a little boy, his parents called him Sam. Little Sam had two good friends, Tom and John. Sam admired Tom most. He could sleep a 93 【93.as】he liked—in the street or in the woods, and he could do what he wanted. Then the three fellows would set off in search of some adventures. In this way, Mark Twain ranged（浪跡）across the nation for more than a third of his l 94 【94.life】.
當馬克吐溫還小的時候，他的父母叫他山姆。小山姆有2個好朋友，湯姆和約翰。山姆最崇拜湯姆了，（因為）湯姆可以在任何他想睡覺的地方睡覺——街上或者樹林里，也可以做任何他想做的事情。（稍大）之後，三個夥伴一起出發冒險。以這種方式，馬克吐溫花去他畢生1/3的時間走遍全國。
Though Mark Twain lived a hard life in most of his life, he was famous for his h 95【95.humour】 . One day he was on the train, the conctor asked him for his ticket. Mark Twain looked for the ticket in all his pockets, but f 96 【96.failed】to find it. At last the conctor said, 「It doesn』t really matter. If you can』t find it, there is no harm done.」 However, Mark Twin said, 「Oh, but there is. I must find the dammed（該死的）thing, or how will I know where I』m going?」
盡管馬克吐溫一生大部分的時間都生活艱難，但是他卻一直不缺少幽默。有一天他乘火車時，乘務員要查票。馬克吐溫找遍了所有的口袋卻沒有找到。最後，乘務員對他說：「沒問題，如果你真的找不到，也沒有什麼大不了。」然而他卻說道，「哦，不是這樣的，我必須找到這該死的車票，不然我怎麼知道我要去哪裡呢？」
Another day, a millionaire replaced his unable left eye with a b 97 【97.blue】glass eye. He felt very proud and happy. When he met Mark Twain, he could not help asking, 「Can you guess which eye of m 98【98.mine】 is the glass one?」 Mark Twain pointed to the millionaire』s left eye. The millionaire was very surprised, 「How do you know that?」 Mark Twain replied, 「Because in your left eye, there still has been a little mercy（仁慈）.
有一天，一個百萬富翁將他失明的左眼換成藍色的玻璃眼，他覺得非常自豪和高興。當他遇到馬克吐溫時，他情不自禁的問馬克吐溫，「你能猜出我哪隻眼睛是玻璃的嗎？」馬克吐溫馬上指出他的左眼。這個百萬富翁很驚訝，問他，「你是怎麼知道的？」馬克吐溫回答道，「因為在你的左眼裡還能看到那麼一點點仁慈！」
⑦ 如何培養學習英語興趣
從大一開始，我就下定決心要考研，並且要考上一個名牌大學的文科專業，但要考上研究生，肯定要有自己的優勢科目，才可能考上。我高考英語128分，不算很高，但在五門功課中分是最高的，我於是下定決心一定要把英語學得十分優秀，不達目的絕不罷休。
我首先從閱讀著手，買了一本南開大學的《英語快速閱讀》，就是從那本書里，我看到了王躍同學介紹自己經驗的文章，我知道了自己努力的方向。在接下來的時間里，我堅持每天拿出一小時來閱讀。這段時間總是我注意力最集中的時期，我不斷地告誡自己：一定要心無旁騖，才能讀懂，理解這篇文章。這段訓練閱讀能力的時間是艱苦的，但也給我帶來了很大的收獲，我的閱讀速度飛快提升，理解能力也隨之上升。我看文章時先是把握整篇的脈絡，理出主題句，然後分散理解細節部分，這樣從整體到局部的閱讀，使我能理解90%以上的文章內容。
閱讀能力的提高體現在我看的書刊的種類上。大一時，我看《21st Century》，《Beijing Review》，到大二時我覺得它們的難度太低，開始看《Time》，《 Fortune》，《Readers' Digest》這些英美報刊，越看到後面，越覺得輕松。大一時買的兩本看不懂的英文小說：《英國短篇小說選》、克里斯蒂的《偵探小說選》，到大二時翻出來看，已是看得津津有味，大三開始看英文長篇小說，最喜歡的是《Gulliver's Travels》與《Gone With the Wind》，覺得這兩本書寫得極精彩，對兩位作者也十分崇拜。大三下學期起，我開始壯著膽子看莎士比亞的劇本，覺得很難懂，到後來也漸漸熟悉了他的風格，也自如起來。
在積累詞彙方面，我一開始時是和閱讀結合在一起記憶的，往往是看一篇文章時，見到生詞就記在筆記本上，閱讀量越大，積累的詞彙量就越大，詞彙量大又促進了閱讀能力的提高。不過到後來，我覺得這樣積累的速度太慢，就開始背那本《牛津英漢漢英高級詞典》，把那本書畫得「滿目瘡痍」，後來，那字典放在自習室時被人偷了，著實讓我痛苦了好一陣子，我已經對它有感情了。在大三時我就報考了專業八級，為了准備這個考試，我買了一本俞敏洪編的藍封面的《GRE詞彙大全》，從A背到Z，背得爛熟，最後卻因為大三不準考專八而被取消了考試資格。考試沒考成，詞彙量卻急劇膨脹，大三下學期我的詞彙量估計有15K，但現在估計只有12K了，那是因為集中准備考研的半年裡幾乎沒摸過英語書，忘掉了許多單詞。
聽力本來是我的弱項，我中學時從未聽過英語，大一下學期聽說VOA有個Special English節目，適合初學者聽，誰知一聽到時，覺得速度很快，而且沒幾個單詞懂的，這時我又採取了閱讀時的方法，把聽不懂的單詞，根據其讀音，記在紙上，然後到牛津字典上把它們找到。每一次找尋都有一種探險似的感覺。我還記得boycott這個單詞，我根據美語的讀音，記在紙上的是boycut,我雖然猜到了它的意思是「抵制」，但找到這個正確的單詞還真是頗費一番周折。我通過這種方式，大概記住了七八百個VOA新聞英語的常用詞彙，對聽英語新聞完全沒有困難了。到轉到聽Standard English後，聽各種英文專題報告已沒有任何困難，就在這時，我開始喜歡英國英語，開始聽BBC，整個提高的過程大約經過了整整一年，其間歷次因為畏難而考慮放棄，但最終還是堅持下來了。
在口語方面，可能在啟蒙階段接受了比較好的發音訓練，我的發音比較清晰，由於學校的條件限制，並沒有怎麼參加英語角，但口語依然比較流利，可能與對詞彙、句式的熟悉程度有關吧。
寫作一直是我的強項，從大一開始寫英文日記，一直寫到大三，後來因為學習過於繁忙而放棄了，寫作能力的高低很大程度上取決於詞彙量的多少及對句式等的熟悉程度。
熟練掌握了英語使我受益匪淺，首先體現在考試上。我記得我在考六級時，正發著低燒，但我憑著閱讀理解和聽力部分的出色表現，得了88分，考研與考專業八級考試時，由於准備專業課與找工作，我已經有半年多沒接觸英語了，但我憑著良好的基礎，還是取得了較好的成績；其次，是我得以享用互聯網上極其豐富的英文網路資源；最後就是能得到一些物質收入，這其實主要是為了幫朋友的忙吧。
我2001年報考的是北京一所名校的民商法專業，由於專業課不過關而落榜，今年打算考對外經貿大學的民商法專業，如果再考不上，我會考慮考英語專業的研究生。我現在跟一家外向型國企簽約， 做的是會計，我想我不會在這家單位呆很久的，原因是很清楚的了。
就我的經驗來說，要學好英語，沒有訣竅，要靠堅持不懈的努力和強烈的興趣，再加上正確的方法，才能成功。

⑧ 英語閱讀中常有一些表達作者態度的詞，如indifferent，positive之類，大家還知道有哪些這類詞呢
negative 否定的
doubtful/suspicious 懷疑的
enthusiastic/excited 興奮贊同的，激動的
neutral 中立的
reserved 保留意見的
nonchalant/indifferent/apathetic 無動於衷的 冷漠的
sympathetic 同情版的
interested 感興趣的
furious憤怒的
offended 收到冒權犯的
暫時我就能想起這么多，純手工，請支持！
⑨ 英語閱讀里問作者時indifferent到底是冷漠的還是中立的意思
跟中立的區別是，漠不關心你在文中看不到作者的觀點，而中立是你在文中會看到作者的觀點，通常是對兩方都闡述利弊而不說支持哪一方。
