阅读理解专题卷28In the 1880s, people drank John Pembertons tonic to cure headaches. It wasnt a very popular drink, and he sold only about a dozen drinks a day. Thats why Pemberton was willing to sell the rights to his medicinal drink. The buyer, Asa Griggs Candler, paid just $ 2,300 for the rights to Coca-Cola. Today, Coca-Cola (or Coke) is worth billions of dollars. It controls 50 percent of the world market in soft drinks.How did Coca-Cola become so popular?

He also made an eye-catching logo for his products. When other companies tried to imitate Coca-Colas name, Candler took them to court.In addition to the unique bottle and logo, Candler spent a lot of time and money advertising his product. He used advertising to make a powerful image of Coca-Cola in the minds of his customers. He gave away free bottles of Coke. He put the name of his drink on pencils, trays, Japanese fans, matches, and many other things. Then he gave the things to people for free. He advertised Coca-Cola in the newspaper and painted the words “Drink Coca-Cola” on the sides of buildings and barns. By 1902, Coca-Cola was the best known product in the United States.Candler was also able to make memorable advertisements. They often had catchy slogans such as “The Pause That Refreshes.” He also used famous athletes to advertise his product.

Agreement on this important step in ongoing cooperation between the two sides was reached by media representatives attending a media forum on September 19 in Abuja, Nigeria.The agreement comes in the wake of increasing attention being paid by the international community on Africas deepening relationship with China. This presents an important opportunity for media in China, Nigeria and other African countries. We should seize the moment to expand cooperation between Chinese and Nigeria media, increase our say, and contribute to cooperation between China, Nigeria and Africa as a whole, said Li Wufeng, Vice Minister of the State Council Information Office at the China-Nigeria Media meeting.The media meeting was jointly held by the State Council Information Office, the Chinese Embassy in Nigeria, and the Federal Ministry of Education, Nigeria. It formed part of the Experience China program, which aims to increase cultural exchanges and mutual understanding between China and other parts of the world.In the past, due to poor communication facilities, China and African countries could only learn about each other through third parties, in particular Western media, which may have given rise to and perpetuated misunderstandings.China is still not a constant feature or subject on the front page and prime time in the news media in Nigeria unless there are disasters and alleged human rights abuses to be reported, said Martins Oloja, Editor of The Guardian. Major Western media continue to promote a Cold War mentality and view Sino-African ties through the lens of geopolitics, framing everything as competition between East and West, Chinese and Nigerian media professionals said at the forum. Some Western media outlets accuse China of ignoring mutually beneficial solutions or sustainable development of African people, while robbing the continent of its natural resources. Nigerians cannot expect Aljazeera or BBC to report on Africa, and indeed Nigeria and China relations, the way we want, said Oloja.

He has inspired thousands of people to rise above circumstances and live out true meaning of life.He was blinded during World War II while rescuing his friend from a tank that was under fire.

Through determination and a deep love for the game he became the National Blind Golf Champion! He won that honor 13 times.One of his heroes was the great golfer Ben Hogan, so it truly was an honor for Charlie to win the Ben Hogan Award in 1958.Upon meeting Ben Hogan, Charlie was respectful and stated that he had one wish and it was to have one round of golf with the great Ben Hogan. Mr. Hogan agreed that playing a round together would be an honor for him as well, as he had heard about all of Charlies accomplishments and truly admired his skills.“Would you like to play for money, Mr. Hogan?” asked out Charlie.“I cant play you for money, it wouldnt be fair!” said Mr. Hogan.“Aw, come on Mr. Hogan$ 1,000 per hole!”“I cant, what would people think of me, taking advantage of you and your circumstance?” replied the sighted golfer.“Chicken, Mr. Hogan?”“Okay,” replied the embarrassed Hogan, “but I am going to play my best!”“I wouldnt expect anything else,” said the confident Boswell.“Now that youre on.

The tests involved more than 136,000 mostly elderly patients in North America, Europe and China. People who took 200 international units of vitamin E a day or more died at a higher rate during the study, which lasted three years, than people who did not take supplements, they told a meeting of the American Heart Association.“Its about a 5 percent increased risk at 45 years in the tests combined together，”Miller said.“That doesnt sound like a lot but if you apply it to 25 percent of the (U.S.)adult population taking vitamin E, that is significant.”Miller, whose findings are also being published online by the Annals of Internal Medicine, said twothirds of people who take vitamin E supplements take 400 IU or more.“We dont think that people need to take vitamin E supplements, which they can get enough from the diet,”he said. Nuts, oils, whole grains and green leafy vegetables are all rich in vitamin E.16 People take vitamin E supplements, hoping that_.A.they can lose weight easilyB.they may live a longer and healthier lifeC.they can get more and more beautifulD.they no longer need any medicine17 The following statements can give us information about Miller EXCEPT_.A.Miller and his team based their research on 19 cases of vitamin E and health between 1993 and 2004B.Miller thinks it unnecessary for people to take vitamin E supplementsC.Miller supposes it impossible for people to get enough vitamin E from their dietsD.Miller played an important role in the tests conducted by the researchers18 Which of the following contains rich vitamin E?A.Nuts.

The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起）the If All of Seattle Read the Same Book project in 1998. Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hongkong.In Chicago, the mayor(市长）appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the One Book, One Chicago program. As a result, reading clubs and neighbourhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character. The only problem arose in New York , where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity(全都）can be achieved .Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point ,putting all their energy And passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself. Ultimately, as Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.20What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?A. To invite authors to guide readers.B. To encourage people to read and share.C. To involve people in community service.D. To promote the friendship between cities.21Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?A. They had little interest in reading.B. They were too busy to read a book. C. They came from many different backgroundsD.T hey lacked support from the local government22According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?A. In large communities with little sense of unityB. In large cities where libraries are far from homeC. In medium-sized cities with a diverse populationD .In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached23 The underlined words “shared a word” in Paragraph 5 probably mean A. exchanged ideas with each
