A
An old farmer lived on a farm with his young grandson. Each morning Grandpa was up early
to read his Bhagavat Geeta. His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to imitate him in
every way he could.
One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa, I try to read the Bhagavat Geeta just like you but I
don't understand it. What good does reading the Bhagavat Geeta do ”
The grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, “Take this coal
basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water.”
The boy did as he was told to, but all the water leaked out（漏出）before he got back to the
house. The grandfather laughed and said, "You'll have to move a little faster next time," and sent
him back to the river with the basket to try again. This time the boy ran faster, but again the same
took place. He told his grandfather that it was impossible to carry water with a basket.
The old man said, “You're just not trying hard enough,” So the boy again dipped the basket
into the river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandfather the basket was again empty. He said,
“See Grandpa, it's useless!”
“So you think it is useless ” The old man said, “Look at the basket.”
The boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized that the basket was different. It
had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket into a clean one inside and outside.
“You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you will be
changed, inside and out. That is the work of Krishna in our lives.”

We see logos on signs, buildings, television, and even on the clothes we wear. Logos are used
to stand for brands (品牌). There are logos such as the Nike "swoosh", the Apple logo and the
colorful rings of the Olympic Games. All of these logos are designed to attract our attention. They
also help us remember a product or service connected to the logo. However, research performed at
the University of California, Los Angeles finds that remembering the details of logos is very
difficult. The researchers try to explain this.
Logos are typically designed to be simple and easy to recognize. Yet the frequent exposure
(频繁接触) to these logos can actually make our brains overlook the details of logos. It would be
challenging to try to remember every single thing that crosses our path. We take in so much
information every day that the brain works to notice information that does not need to be stored. It
allows the unimportant information to disappear gradually from our memory.
The details of product logos are just the kind of information our brains tell us we do not need.
This may be discouraging to logo designers and to companies that use these eye-catching logos. But
there are still many business experts who believe in the importance of a recognizable logo.
Even though the brain is likely to pay no attention to unnecessary details, it is also
programmed for recognition. When we see logos over and over again, we become familiar (熟悉)
with them. This repeated exposure leads our brains to remember the basic idea without all of the
details. This general sense of memory has its own benefits. It can make us feel like we really know
the product behind the logo. In fact, familiarity with a logo can even make people feel more
comfortable about buying or using certain products.
Logos are everywhere we look today. Those people who create logos need to know that
people will only remember what they believe is important. A clever design may be interesting, but
most people will forget the details.
29．In the first paragraph, the writer mainly ________.
A．introduces some famous brands B．describes the design of some logos
C．shows the popularity of famous brands D．explains the purpose of designing logos
30．The word "overlook" in Paragraph 2 probably means "________".
A．try to remember B．see the importance of
C．take no notice of D．fail to understand

初三三月月考英语试卷第 4 页 共 8 页
A．Business experts think the details of logos are unnecessary.
B．Our brains can choose which logos to notice and remember.
C．The repeated exposure to a logo can lead people to buy the product.
D．People know more about the products behind logos with more details.
32．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A．What Makes a Good Logo B．What Can We See in a Logo
C．Why Is a Good Logo Important D．Why Should Logos Be Recognizable

There is growing concern about food insecurity in the developing world. Rising food prices,
weather emergencies and political problems are deepening the struggle for families in many
countries.
Three UN agencies have published a report recently, saying high prices are likely to continue.
Gregory Barrow, who is with the World Food Program in Rome, says, “If you look at the places
where the World Food Program works, particularly in developing countries, you see people who
might be spending more than 60 percent of their salary in purchasing food for their families.”
East Africa is suffering its worst drought in years. In Kenya, at least three and a half million
people are going hungry, mostly in the north. Yet food is going to waste in central Kenya. Now,
farmers there want the government to buy their food and give it to those in need. Farmers say bad
roads and lack of transportation make it difficult for them to get their produce to the market.
Mr. Barrow says, “It needs the government to make some arrangements such as providing
transport. They can buy it at a good price, then give it to those people instead of asking for food
from overseas, which is very bad. When we are throwing away food, they are asking for food from
overseas.”
Economists say that imports reduce local food prices, decrease productivity(生产效率) and
increase the dependency on other countries. Farmers in Kenya hope the government can pay higher
prices for their crops so that they can feed more Kenyans.
33. What is the best title for this passage
A. Kenya Imports Food from Abroad B. World Food Program in Rome.
C. The Poor Suffer from High Food Prices D. A Report Published by Three UNAgencies
34. What do we know about Kenya from the passage
A．The people in central Kenya are suffering from hunger.
B．At least three and a half million Kenyans are short of food.
C．The Kenyan government wants to improve road conditions.
D．People in northern Kenya refuse to ask for food from overseas.

A. The people of northern Kenya.
B. Government officials.
