Each year, we are exposed to ten thousand a
ds on average. They try to sell us their products by using beautiful art, videos, images or slogans that are catchy. The most famous companies have highly popular logos that can be recognized by almost everybody. For those of you who have seen the movie Finding Forrester, there is that scene where Jamal walks up to some guy with a BMW and asks him what the car logo means. The man did not know the answer and since that day, whenever I see a famous company logo I try to find the meaning of it.
Many think the horse on the Ferrari logo represents the horsepower of the cars they manufacture. The story behind it is far more interesting. During World War I, a pilot, Count Francesco Baracca, painted the horse on his airplane to bring him luck. He had it on his plane because it was the logo of his squadron（空军中队）. Baracca’s mother then convinced Enzo Ferrari to put the logo on his racing cars in the early 1930’s to bring good luck to the drivers. The logo then stayed the same ever since. The yellow on the background represents the birthplace of Enzo Ferrari.
Starbucks started in 1971, in Seattle. The mermaid（美人鱼）represented on the logo is now known by any coffee drinker. It is a mythological sea creature with the look of a female, the only difference being that they have a tail of a fish. The reason why Starbucks incorporated one in their company logo is that it was believed that mermaids used to sing to sailors in order to make them walk away from their ship or to ground their ships. In the 1500s, spices, tea and coffee were popular merchandise to trade. So the mermaid in the logo of Starbucks is the one that “brings” coffee and tea to the stores.
1.The writer became interested in logos of some famous brands after _______.
A. he watched an attractive movie
B. he saw a scene in a movie
C. he walked up to some guy with a BMW
D. he noticed some famous logos
2.Many companies use logos because _________.
A. people enjoy beautiful logos
B. people are more likely to buy their products
C. people can recognize the products more easily
D. people are interested in the meanings of the logos
3.Which of the following is true according to Paragraph3?
A. Starbucks was once a company trading spices, tea and coffee.
B. Hearing mermaids sing, sailors would know the right direction.
C. Starbucks has a history of more than five hundred years.
D. The logo of Starbucks is believed to make the business years.
4.The underlined word “incorporated” in the third paragraph probably means _____.
A. included B. abandoned
C. corrected D. designed

Most funny stories are based on comic situations. In spite of national differences, certain funny situations have a universal attraction. No matter where you live, you would find it difficult not to laugh at, say Charlie Chaplin's early films. However, a new type of humour, which starts largely from the U．S., has recently come into fashion. It is called “sick humour”．
Comedians base their jokes on tragic situations like violent death or serious accidents. The following “sick humour” will enable you to amuse yourself.
A man who had broken his right leg was taken to hospital a few weeks before Christmas. From the moment he arrived there, he kept on bothering his doctor to tell him when he would be able to go home. He was afraid of having to spend Christmas in hospital. Though the doctor did his best, the patient's recovery was slow. On Christmas Day, the man still had his right leg in plaster(石膏)．
He spent a miserable day in bed thinking of all the fun he was missing. The following day, however, the doctor consoled him by telling him that his chances of being able to leave hospital in time for New Year celebrations were good. The man took heart and, sure enough, on New Year's Eve he was able to hobble(蹒跚) along to a party. To make up for his unpleasant experiences in hospital, the man drank a little more than it was good for him. In the process, he enjoyed himself thoroughly and kept telling everybody how much he hated hospitals. He was still murmuring something about hospitals at the end of the party when he slipped on a piece of ice and broke his left leg.
1.Which is right?
A. All the humour stories are funny in spite of different nationalities.
B. One can realize the humour of the stories in his own country.

D. Almost all the audience can be made to laugh at some famous comedians' action.
2.What does the underlined word “consoled” mean?
A. Comfort. B. Overcome.
C. Confuse. D. Disturb.
3.What can we infer from the passage?
A. No pains, no gains. B. Extreme joy begets sorrow.
C. Once a thief, always a thief. D. Good medicine tastes bitter.
4.What's the main idea of the passage?
A. A new kind of humour came into being.
B. How to cure your legs is important.
C. Christmas is more necessary than anything else.
D. Holding a party is interesting for the westerners.

I have been using the Internet since I was five years old, when my dad first sat me down in front of a computer and connected me to the World Wide Web.
I’ve always felt like a master of the Internet world. AOL Instant Messaging, MSN, Gmail, Facebook, Myspace—I’ve got them all under control. I thought there was nothing more to it besides checking my email and wasting my time, until I was introduced to e-commerce: business on the Internet.
My friends often said they got cheap textbooks off Amazon.com, or had a good deal on Steve Madden boots that were on sale at SteveMadden.com. Unfortunately for me, I continued my “e-commerce-less” Web-surfing, unaware of all the deals I was missing out on.
That is, of course, until my sister finally sold the idea to me.
“Why are all these packages arriving in the mail for you, Katy?” I asked her one day. Strange envelopes had been put on our doorstep for weeks now, each one always addressed to my sister.
“Oh, it’s the stuff I ordered online!” she answered. I watched in surprise as she opened item after item. There was no way our parents were letting her spend that much money—online or off!
“How much did all of this cost?”
“Oh, only about $15 in all!” She said excitedly. “Everything on eBay is on sale! It’s better than going to the mall.”
I felt as if in my entire life, there had been a store right in my backyard that I had never walked into! That week, I ordered a used Spanish textbook for my summer course online for 10 percent of the publishing price. A few days later, I bought an iPod protector and a book or two via the wonderful eBay.com.
1.What can we infer from the passage?
A. The author started doing online shopping at the age of five.
B. The author is a master of the Internet world.
C. The author learnt online shopping from her sister.
D. The author often bought things via Amazon.com.
2.Why was the author surprised when she saw her sister’s items?
A. Because she had no knowledge of online shopping.
B. Because she didn’t like the stuff her sister bought.
C. Because she thought that her parents would be happy to see her sister’s items.
D. Because she hadn’t thought her sister should buy so many things.
3.The underlined sentence suggests that the author ________.
A. wanted to go for a walk in her backyard
B. showed great interest in the Internet
C. was eager to open up an online shop
D. had never done online shopping before
