      　“Image is everything.” An entire industry has been built upon the precondition that image is everything, but when it comes down to it, an appealing image is not enough. If there is no substance behind the image, the product, service or person will fail at length.

    　　First of all, one should consider how important image is in the selling of products and services. Advertising agencies have raised the art of creating an image to a state of near perfection. Public concept of that product or service is certainly managed by the images created by the advertising agencies. But if the product or service does not live up to the image that was created, the customer will be very dissatisfied and possibly ask for their money back. For example , the Arthur Andersen  accounting firm had spent decades building up an image of trustworthiness. But the recent scandal (丑闻) showed that behind that image, it had dishonest business practices. Despite the previous positive image, the firm is being accused of criminal actions and it will probably not survive as a business unit. Although the image had been nearly perfect, the reality behind the image has led to the downfall of the world famous accounting firm.

    　　Similarly, personal consultants can build up a public image for politicians and movie stars. Putting out positive news releases, making sure that only the best photographs are published, and ensuring that the person is seen in all the right places can build up a very positive image in the view of the general commons. But once again, history is filled with examples of both politicians and movie stars that fell from grace (体面) like the story of the Hollywood actor giving in to the pressures of fame and fortune. With people, just as with products and services, image is certainly important, but without positive substance behind the image, failure is close.

    To summarize, it is clear that an appealing image is extremely important to success, whether that image is related to selling a product or service or to the “selling" of a person. But image is only half of the equation. What lies behind that image is every bit as important as the image itself—the person or product must deliver on that image or there is little chance for long-term success.

    67．The downfall of the Arthur Andersen accounting firm is due to ______.

     A．its dishonesty in business          B．its previous images

     C．its bad management             D．its poor service

    68．Why did some famous people fall from grace?

     A．Their images were not well built up.

     B．They failed to live up to their images.

     C．They felt much pressure from the public.

     D．They paid little attention to fame and fortune.

    69.The structure of the passage is             .


    70．The author tries to argue that______.

     A．image creates everything

     B．image is the key to success

     C．truth goes hand in hand with image

     D．truth and image are equally important

    Explosive sound and energy

    　　ROCK music didn’t exist 60 years ago．　　1　　 Someone didn’t just wake up and invent rock．So, how did it happen? What is rock?Although impossible to strictly define, it’s generally recognized that rock music was born in 1950s America．　　2　　 At this time, early “rockers”were mixing the country music of white America with the rhythm and blues sound loved by the black US citizens．The result was rock‘n’ roll．The record most commonly considered as the beginning of the rock ‘n’ roll period is Bill Haley & The Comets’1954 recording of “Rock Around the Clock”．　　3　　 Elvis’s 1950s recordings established the basic language of rock ‘n’ roll; his explosive stage presence set standards for the music’s visual image, while his voice was powerful and interesting．

    　　　　4　　 Despite the different directions and sound of rock bands over the last 50 years, there is something common to all the greats：a charming lead vocalist, a talented guitarist full of energy and creativity, a bassist with cool indifference and a drummer．

    　　For most of its life, rock has been split into different parts, creating new styles every few years－giving birth to a never-ending number of sub-genres．　　5　　Rock is a generic term, but it’s exciting that it can now mean so many different things．

    A．Rock is my favorite and I’ll be a popular singer．

    B．Now, it’s one of the world’s most popular genres．But musical styles don’t spring up overnight．

    C．Rock had a specific sound and image for only a few of its early years．As time went by, the genre began to place equal emphasis on skills and pushing the boundaries of the music．

    D．In fact, in the West, musically speaking, the years 1953～1955 are known as the rock ‘n’ roll years．

    E．As a result, “rock”has been used to describe everything from bands playing catchy rhythms to groups based on tuneless, noisy guitars．

    F．Rock music will be held in our school if we send an invitation to the band．

    G．But it was Elvis Presley, known as “The King of Rock and Roll”, who really popularized the new sound throughout America and the Western world．
