A
I was reading these interesting stories behind a group of great logos (标志) 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. McDonald’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) signs 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 Steven 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 (轮廓) 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. Marcedes is the name of Maybach’s elder daughter, while Benz came as a result of a combination with Benz, Cie. and DMG in 1926.
21. What does the author think of the stories of the great logos?
A．They are boring B．They are out of date.
C．They are attractive D．They are practical
22. What does Nike’ s logo stand for?
A．The goddess of victory B．The source of inspiration for soldiers
C．The statue of the Greek goddess D．The wing of the Greek goddess
23. We can learn that Apple’s present logo is ________.
A．the religious story of Adam and Eve B．a bitten apple with only one color
C．Newton’s sitting under an apple tree D．the rainbow- colored bitten apple
24. Which of the following time orders describes the births of the great logos?
A．Mercedes Benz – McDonald’s – Nike – Apple.
B．Nike – McDonald’s – Apple – Mercedes Benz.
C．Mercedes Benz – Apple – Nike –McDonald’s.
D．Nike –Mercedes Benz –McDonald’s – Apple,

One day a philosophy （哲学） professor stood before his class and picked up a large empty glass bottle and filled it with rocks. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. He then added a box of pebbles (鹅卵石) to the jar, shaking it lightly The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the rocks. "Is the jar filled now?" The students said yes.
But then he poured a bag of sand into the bottle. The sand filled in everything else. Once more he asked if it was full and after some thinking they said that it was.
The professor then opened two cans （罐） of beer and poured them into the jar. The students roared at this demonstration .
The professor spoke again: "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The rocks are the important things in your life: your family, your partner, your health, your children... things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full, The pebbles are the other things that matter.., like your job, your house, and your car. The sand is everything else. The small stuff. If you put the sand into the jar first, there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks," "The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take care of the rocks first. The else is just sand."
Then One of the students asked what the beer represented.

If Confucius （孔子） were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He'd need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.
While many people in China will remember Confucius on this special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It's nothing personal. Most Americans don't even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.
But this doesn't mean that Americans don't care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.
In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes （孔子学院） in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture.The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art, history and philosophy(哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.
So the old thinker's ideas are still alive and well.
Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.
As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.
28.The opening paragraph is mainly intended to ________.
A.provide some key facts about Confucius
B. attract the readers' interest in the subject
C. show great respect for the ancient thinker
D. prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations
29. We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students ________.
A.have a great interest in studying Chinese
B. take an active part in Chinese competitions
C. try to get high scores in Chinese exams
D. fight for a chance to learn Chinese
30. What is the best title for the passege?
A. Forgotten Wisdom in America B. Huge Fans of the Chinese Language
C. Chinese Culture for Westerners D. Old Thinker with a Big Future

D
One day an out-of-work mimic(滑稽演员) is visiting the zoo and attempts to earn some money as a street performer. As soon as he starts to draw the crowd，a zoo keeper grabs him and drags him into his office. The zoo keeper explains to the mimic that the zoo's most popular attraction，a gorilla(大猩猩)，has died suddenly and the keeper fears that the number of visitors to the zoo will decrease. He offers the mimic a job to dress up as the gorilla until they can get another one. The mimic accepts.
So the next morning the mimic puts on the gorilla suit and enters the cage before the crowd comes. He discovers that it's a great job. He can sleep when he wants，play and make fun of people and he draws bigger crowds than he ever did as a mimic. However，eventually the crowds tire of him and he tires of just swinging on wires.

Not wanting to lose the attention of his audience，he climbs to the top of his cage，crawls across a partition(隔离物)，and hangs from the top to the lion's cage.

Then one terrible day when he is hanging over the angry lion he slips and falls. The mimic is frightened.
The lion gathers itself and prepares to attack. The mimic is so scared that he begins to run round and round the cage with the lion close behind. Finally，the mimic starts screaming and yelling，“Help me，help me！”But the lion is quick and attacks. The mimic soon finds himself flat on his back looking up at the angry lion and the lion says，“Shut up，you idiot！Do you want to get us both fired？”

How to Sleep Better
If you’re having trouble getting good sleep through the night (turning，waking up more than once，for example)，this text will tell you what you can do to ensure a peaceful night’s sleep.
Get on schedule. Changing your sleeping time by more than an hour can severely disturb your sleep quality. ____36____ For example，if you normally wake up at 6 am on weekdays to get to work，you might go to bed around 10 pm，because that’s when you start to feel sleepy，and it’s also a good time to ensure 8 hours of sleep. If，on the weekend，you sleep until 9 am，you probably won’t be able to fall asleep that night until 1 am.
____37____ Wait at least three hours after dinner before going to sleep. Digestion slows down while asleep，and a full stomach may interrupt sleep. Similarly，you should avoid going to bed on an empty stomach，as a completely empty stomach may equally disturb your sleeping patterns.
____38____ Exposure to light during the time when you’re supposed to be sleeping can disturb your body’s internal clock. Turn your light off，or use a very dim night light. ____39____ They include windows，LED clocks，computer lights and cable boxes.
Change your sleeping position. You may think that it’s impossible to control what position you sleep in since you aren’t fully aware of what you are doing，but it is possible and it can make a considerable difference. ____40____
A．Try to avoid all sources of light.
B．Keep the room as dark as possible.
C．Make note of unusual circumstances.
D．Be mindful of what you eat or drink before bed.
E．Sleep is considered to be adequate only when there is no daytime sleepiness.
F．In other words，sudden change of sleeping time will affect your “biological clock”．
G．If you wake up in the middle of the night，make an effort to have a comfortable position.
