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(创新的)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(标识).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_____.
A) Potato chips can hardly be used as a weapon to dominate the world market
B) Their company must find new ways to promote domestic sales.
C) The light golden color enhances the charm of their company’s potato chips
D) People the world over enjoy eating their company’s potato chips
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.
23.One of the assumptions on which Frito-Lay bases its development strategy is that_____.
A)consumers worldwide today are attracted by global brands
B)local brands cannot compete successfully with American brands
C)procts suiting Chinese consumers’ needs bring more profits
D)procts identified as American will have promising market value
24.Why did Riskey have the Frito-Lay logo redesigned?
A)To suit changing tastes of young consumers.
B)To promote the company's strategy of globalization.
C)To change the company’s long-held marketing image.
D)To compete with other American chip procers.
25.Frito-Lay's executives claim that the promoting of American food in the international market_____.
A)won't affect the eating habits of the local people
B)will lead to economic imperialism
C)will be in the interest of the local people
D)won’t spoil the taste of their chips
答案：DDABC

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.
在大多数美国人的心目中，马克吐温是最著名的作家。他的许多书籍至今仍在美国国内和世界上其他国家翻译并出版。可是，在他出名之前，他曾经是一个印刷工、航道领航员、军人，过着艰难的生活。
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（浪迹）across the nation for more than a third of his l 94 【94.life】.
当马克吐温还小的时候，他的父母叫他山姆。小山姆有2个好朋友，汤姆和约翰。山姆最崇拜汤姆了，（因为）汤姆可以在任何他想睡觉的地方睡觉——街上或者树林里，也可以做任何他想做的事情。（稍大）之后，三个伙伴一起出发冒险。以这种方式，马克吐温花去他毕生1/3的时间走遍全国。
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（该死的）thing, or how will I know where I’m going?”
尽管马克吐温一生大部分的时间都生活艰难，但是他却一直不缺少幽默。有一天他乘火车时，乘务员要查票。马克吐温找遍了所有的口袋却没有找到。最后，乘务员对他说：“没问题，如果你真的找不到，也没有什么大不了。”然而他却说道，“哦，不是这样的，我必须找到这该死的车票，不然我怎么知道我要去哪里呢？”
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，一个百万富翁将他失明的左眼换成蓝色的玻璃眼，他觉得非常自豪和高兴。当他遇到马克吐温时，他情不自禁的问马克吐温，“你能猜出我哪只眼睛是玻璃的吗？”马克吐温马上指出他的左眼。这个百万富翁很惊讶，问他，“你是怎么知道的？”马克吐温回答道，“因为在你的左眼里还能看到那么一点点仁慈！”
⑦ 如何培养学习英语兴趣
从大一开始，我就下定决心要考研，并且要考上一个名牌大学的文科专业，但要考上研究生，肯定要有自己的优势科目，才可能考上。我高考英语128分，不算很高，但在五门功课中分是最高的，我于是下定决心一定要把英语学得十分优秀，不达目的绝不罢休。
我首先从阅读着手，买了一本南开大学的《英语快速阅读》，就是从那本书里，我看到了王跃同学介绍自己经验的文章，我知道了自己努力的方向。在接下来的时间里，我坚持每天拿出一小时来阅读。这段时间总是我注意力最集中的时期，我不断地告诫自己：一定要心无旁骛，才能读懂，理解这篇文章。这段训练阅读能力的时间是艰苦的，但也给我带来了很大的收获，我的阅读速度飞快提升，理解能力也随之上升。我看文章时先是把握整篇的脉络，理出主题句，然后分散理解细节部分，这样从整体到局部的阅读，使我能理解90%以上的文章内容。
阅读能力的提高体现在我看的书刊的种类上。大一时，我看《21st Century》，《Beijing Review》，到大二时我觉得它们的难度太低，开始看《Time》，《 Fortune》，《Readers' Digest》这些英美报刊，越看到后面，越觉得轻松。大一时买的两本看不懂的英文小说：《英国短篇小说选》、克里斯蒂的《侦探小说选》，到大二时翻出来看，已是看得津津有味，大三开始看英文长篇小说，最喜欢的是《Gulliver's Travels》与《Gone With the Wind》，觉得这两本书写得极精彩，对两位作者也十分崇拜。大三下学期起，我开始壮着胆子看莎士比亚的剧本，觉得很难懂，到后来也渐渐熟悉了他的风格，也自如起来。
在积累词汇方面，我一开始时是和阅读结合在一起记忆的，往往是看一篇文章时，见到生词就记在笔记本上，阅读量越大，积累的词汇量就越大，词汇量大又促进了阅读能力的提高。不过到后来，我觉得这样积累的速度太慢，就开始背那本《牛津英汉汉英高级词典》，把那本书画得“满目疮痍”，后来，那字典放在自习室时被人偷了，着实让我痛苦了好一阵子，我已经对它有感情了。在大三时我就报考了专业八级，为了准备这个考试，我买了一本俞敏洪编的蓝封面的《GRE词汇大全》，从A背到Z，背得烂熟，最后却因为大三不准考专八而被取消了考试资格。考试没考成，词汇量却急剧膨胀，大三下学期我的词汇量估计有15K，但现在估计只有12K了，那是因为集中准备考研的半年里几乎没摸过英语书，忘掉了许多单词。
听力本来是我的弱项，我中学时从未听过英语，大一下学期听说VOA有个Special English节目，适合初学者听，谁知一听到时，觉得速度很快，而且没几个单词懂的，这时我又采取了阅读时的方法，把听不懂的单词，根据其读音，记在纸上，然后到牛津字典上把它们找到。每一次找寻都有一种探险似的感觉。我还记得boycott这个单词，我根据美语的读音，记在纸上的是boycut,我虽然猜到了它的意思是“抵制”，但找到这个正确的单词还真是颇费一番周折。我通过这种方式，大概记住了七八百个VOA新闻英语的常用词汇，对听英语新闻完全没有困难了。到转到听Standard English后，听各种英文专题报告已没有任何困难，就在这时，我开始喜欢英国英语，开始听BBC，整个提高的过程大约经过了整整一年，其间历次因为畏难而考虑放弃，但最终还是坚持下来了。
在口语方面，可能在启蒙阶段接受了比较好的发音训练，我的发音比较清晰，由于学校的条件限制，并没有怎么参加英语角，但口语依然比较流利，可能与对词汇、句式的熟悉程度有关吧。
写作一直是我的强项，从大一开始写英文日记，一直写到大三，后来因为学习过于繁忙而放弃了，写作能力的高低很大程度上取决于词汇量的多少及对句式等的熟悉程度。
熟练掌握了英语使我受益匪浅，首先体现在考试上。我记得我在考六级时，正发着低烧，但我凭着阅读理解和听力部分的出色表现，得了88分，考研与考专业八级考试时，由于准备专业课与找工作，我已经有半年多没接触英语了，但我凭着良好的基础，还是取得了较好的成绩；其次，是我得以享用互联网上极其丰富的英文网络资源；最后就是能得到一些物质收入，这其实主要是为了帮朋友的忙吧。
我2001年报考的是北京一所名校的民商法专业，由于专业课不过关而落榜，今年打算考对外经贸大学的民商法专业，如果再考不上，我会考虑考英语专业的研究生。我现在跟一家外向型国企签约， 做的是会计，我想我不会在这家单位呆很久的，原因是很清楚的了。
就我的经验来说，要学好英语，没有诀窍，要靠坚持不懈的努力和强烈的兴趣，再加上正确的方法，才能成功。

⑧ 英语阅读中常有一些表达作者态度的词，如indifferent，positive之类，大家还知道有哪些这类词呢
negative 否定的
doubtful/suspicious 怀疑的
enthusiastic/excited 兴奋赞同的，激动的
neutral 中立的
reserved 保留意见的
nonchalant/indifferent/apathetic 无动于衷的 冷漠的
sympathetic 同情版的
interested 感兴趣的
furious愤怒的
offended 收到冒权犯的
暂时我就能想起这么多，纯手工，请支持！
⑨ 英语阅读里问作者时indifferent到底是冷漠的还是中立的意思
跟中立的区别是，漠不关心你在文中看不到作者的观点，而中立是你在文中会看到作者的观点，通常是对两方都阐述利弊而不说支持哪一方。
