I distinctly remember opening it, reading the first lines of “The Cast of Amontillado,” a

19、nd remarking to myself. “So this is what reading is!” My delight was unbounded. Little did I know at the time that I was at the beginning of a lifting journey.So, if I read my first real book at 11, what was I reading before then? In a word, readers: relatively plotless, repetitive if well-intention

20、ed attempts to teach child to recognize letters and their sounds and to build their vocabularies. Being a dutiful boy, I went through the motions and I learned what words were. But I had no idea what writing was until Poe. In Poes stories, the sentences were more complex and stylish than anything I

21、had ever read before.Poe, in short, was a star. My parents gave me that first book, but then I went off on my own. I liked science, which led me to discover Jules Verne, the Father of scene fiction and H G. Wells, well known for his novel The Time Machine. Other writers followed quickly one after an

22、other: Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Arthur CClarke. But I didnt limit myself to science fiction. Other titles that deeply impressed me early on, and which I have carried on my lifes journey, include The Yearling, Shane, Ivanhoe, Of Mice and Men, To Kill a Mockingbird and The Good Earth.It went on fro

23、m there. I became that kid who, long after his parents told him to turn the lights off, hid under the covers with a flashlight and a book, his greatest fear of being discovered and having his lighting taken away. I realize that my parents must have known I was defying (違背) them. But in their wisdom

24、they pretended to be ignorant of it.

Yet when it dawned on me just how much time I was spending socializing, I realized

27、I may be taking it to an extreme. I calculated that, on average, I was spending 22 hours or more each week on social activities. So, to see what would happen to my work output, health and wellbeing, I decided to try and cut out my social life entirely.I knew, at times, I filled my schedule simply ou

28、t of fear of missing out (FOMO), but also as a way to shift focus away from my work. For one month, I declined all in-person activities with friends: going out for drinks; dinners; parties and non-work related events, to see if it would make me more productive, improve my focus and career prospects.

29、On day one of the month-long experiment, I had to fight some anxiety over missing out. But as the days passed, I started to relax. I only had one option to consider for Saturday nightto stay homeand this limitation left me more satisfied in my decision. I felt more content working, reading or watchi

30、ng TV.While I found more time to work, I also noticed a change in my overall health. I found myself cooking more at home, doing daily exercise, getting to bed earlier each night, reading, and enjoying moments of rest and boredom throughout the day.Having no social life left me more free time than Id

31、 imagine. Such idle moments are vital for creativity, and mind wandering has been linked to creative problem solving. During the experiment I found myself regularly brainstorming new ideas and reimagining existing projects.Of course socializing is an important way to build work contacts. While one m

32、onth of no social life did not impact my relationship with existing clients, if I had continued, it may harm my ability to build new ones.1、What did the author realize about his socializing?AIt was difficult for him to contact people.BIts a necessary part of his life and work.CHe had spent too much

36、cDonalds Golden Arches, or the “State Farm is There” jingle. They know what theywill get with a wellbranded product or service as promised. Think of Volvo, for instance, and your first thoughts are probably something like “well built, comfortable, Swedish” and, most of all, “safety”.So a brand is a

37、lot more than a logo, icon, or slogan. Catchy as it may sound, it isnt the “brand” in the true senseand it certainly isnt what makes the brand valuable.A companys brand is a promise. Its a description of the companys character. To some extent, its a mission; its how the company creates and delivers

38、value. Also, its the feeling the company conveys to its stakeholders. Successful brands meet various challenges and consistently deliver on their promises, which is how they create brand value.To illustrate it, here are some brand promises from three highly successful, world-wide brands:The NFL: “To

39、 be the premier sports and entertainment brand that brings people together, connecting them socially and emotionally like no other.”Coca-Cola: “To inspire moments of optimism and uplift.”VirginAtlantic: “To be genuine, fun, contemporary, and different in everything we do at a reasonable price.”Inter

40、esting. In none of the above cases does the brand promise describe what these companies do or provide. The NFLs brand promise says nothing about football. Coca-Cola doesnt talk about providing the best soft drinks in the world. And Virgin Atlantics promise goes a lot farther than seating passengers

41、in its aircrafts.Of course, a promise is nowhere near enough. The promise along with look, personality, time, money, and hard work combined can eventually help to build and maintain great brands and acquire a special patina(光澤) of what I call “me” appeal, showing my personal appetite. Apple has that

42、 patina. All of this can lead to sub-brands, like iPhone and iPad which acquire the glory of the parent brand.Sometimes a brand is memorable because of little things. TD Bank has a special place in their branches for you to deposit all those coins you collect in jars. It is called the Penny Arcade t

43、hat turns depositing your coins into a fun game in which you can even win prizes. Years ago, Dime Savings Bank in New York had a small dime(十分硬幣) carrier. It was given to kids and then theyd fill up its 50 slots (投幣口) with a dime in each one and bring it to exchange for a $5 bill.1、What can we know

44、from the first 2 paragraphs?APeople tend to believe in top brands because they deliverwhat is promised.BWell branded Swedish products are of good quality but more costly than others.CWell branded products are faced with great challenges of quality currently.DA company shouldnt care about logos becau

45、se they cant make the brand valuable.2、In the authors opinion, a brand promise is _.Athecontract between a company and the people who interact with itBthe only way to build and maintain a great brands valueCa description of what a company actually does for its consumersDan important factor contribut

46、ing to the success of a brand3、According to the passage, what isprobably “Virgin Atlantic”?AA financial company.BA high-tech software product.CAn airline company.DAn entertainment product.4、What can be inferred from the passage?ABuying a certain brand says nothing about the person who buys it.BLittl

47、e things can mean a lot and make a brand memorable.CSub-brands are relatively easy to build and generate huge profits.DDime Savings Banks dime carriers are difficult for kids to operate.25（10分） You know how much your telephone has changed over the past 10 years? Your car will change even more than t

48、hat in the next 10 years.One of the big changes is that cars will drive themselves. Some day you may not need to drive a car. You will just tell the car where you want to go and it will drive itself.“We definitely have the technology for it now,” says Andrew Poliak of automotive technology supplier

49、QNX. “We expect self-driving cars to be a mainstream thing between 2020 and 2025. ”The American company Google has been working on a self-driving automobile for years.These cars are already on the roads in the United States, mainly in California. Google cars are truly self-driving. These cars have n

50、o steering wheels (方向盤）or pedals.Last week, police ordered one of Googles cars to stop for driving too slowly on a public road. The car was not disobeying any law, so no one was punished. But police did speak with the operators of the vehicle. According to Google, its self-driving cars have been dri

51、ven nearly 2 million kilometers. That is equal to the distance the average person drives in 90 years. So far, no Google self-driving car has gotten a traffic ticket. Some of them have been in accidents when other cars hit them.Other companies are working on self-driving cars. Mercedes-Benz, Audi, BM

52、W, Volvo and Toyota all have plans for such vehicles. A company called BestMile plans to operate selfdriving buses in Switzerland next spring. The buses will hold up to nine people and will be tested for two years. Mercedes-Benz is developing large self-driving trucks for long trips. These trucks us
