What’s in a Name (1)
Name brands are cool, but are they really worth the extra money
There are hundred ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s of them. Well-known appliances, electronics, footwear, apparel and computers—the famous brands—they’re what we call name brands. These products are not necessarily successful because companies pour millions of dollars into promoting them—though that certainly doesn’t hurt. People spend money on name brand products for several reasons:
1. Quality. A nam ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e brand can’t become a name brand without quality. If it’s a food, the ingredients are wholesome; if it’s a machine, quality parts area must. Quality attracts customers and keeps them coming back.
2. Consi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )stency. Over time, customers grow to expect a certain level of quality and performance from a product or service. If I’m in a foreign country and need shampoo, I’m going to buy a name brand because I know it will be good. Name brands deliver quality consistently, regardless of time or location.
3. Cust ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )omer Service. Admittedly, some substandard name brand products occasionally get shipped out. To deal with this inevitability, smart companies help and support customers. For name brand companies, customer satisfaction is a priority.
These three qualiti ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es give name brand products longevity (长寿,长命). And that’s worth a little extra money, right

Anybody runn ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing a company knows that a well-planned conference can greatly improve the

However, unless the conference is well 3 out it will not have the best 4 and you will have wasted a great deal of money.
The first step i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s to find the right place. Can your employees easily reach the conference centre Is it near a railway station Is it close to a good, fast road Has it plenty of 5 parking space If you are going to choose a hotel, then perhaps the hotel has cheaper rates at weekends, or if it is in a popular tourist area, 6 rates may be cheaper.
Another important ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) 7 is food and drink. Breakfast is a time when people can relax before the day's work begins, but you may not want a long break for lunch in the middle of the day. Buffet (自助)lunches are very popular for this reason. Then there is dinner, which most employees consider a 8 for a day's hard work !
Whatever your ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) needs are, it is essential to think 9 if you want a successful conference.

Twenty years ag ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o only a very small number of people had the skills or equipment to make fake money. Today computer, copier and printer technology is so __51__ that almost anyone can “make” money. With the new technology there is a new kind of casual faking machine. The number of bills made by casual fakers on their home or office computer is growing fast. In fact, this number has doubled every year since 1989! There is no way to __52__ faking completely. But the government has recently found a few ways to make casual faking very __53__.
One way is to put ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )very, very small words, called microprints (微型印刷), in __54__ places on the bill. The words are only 6/1000 inch. No one can read them __55__ a magnifying glass, and they are too small to come out __56__ on a copier. If someone copies a bill that has microprints, the microprinted words on the bill will only be black lines.
Another way to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) stop people from making fake money on their home computer is to use special color-changing ink. Money printed with color-changing ink will look green from one __57__ and yellow from __58__. Home computers cannot use color-changing ink. Copies from a home computer only have normal ink and that can be __59__ quite easily.
__60__, money is made on special paper with very small pieces of red and blue silk mixed in. And on each bill there is a special line that __61__ from the top to the bottom of the bill. The blue turns red if you put it under a special __62__. This line and the special paper with red and blue silk are not easy for home computers to __63__.
The gove ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rnment must try many different ways to stop faking. It needs to keep __64__ the way money is made because fakers can learn to copy the __65__. Today copiers can’t copy microprinted words or color-changing ink. But, in a few years, who knows

A. start B. continue C. stop D. resist

IV. Reading Comprehension.
Hong Kong is a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) group of rocky islands surrounding a mainland area. It is a great port where goods from all over the world are brought in and then shipped out to other lands. It is a popular tourist spot and a center of commerce, manufacturing, and baking. It is also a bustling place of people and movement, of great riches and extreme poverty, of bright, vivid colors and dull, gray ugliness.
Hong Kong is one of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the most densely populated (人口稠密的) places on earth. More than 6,300,000 people are crowded into a total land area of only 1,076 square kilometers. Almost all the people are Chinese. The two official languages are English and the Cantonese dialect of Chinese.
Most of the people o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f Hong Kong live in its cities. The major cities are Victoria, the capital, which is on Hong Kong island, and Kowloon, which lies across the harbor of Hong Kong on Kowloon peninsula (半岛). Because of the dense population and the shortage of living space, some of the people live on small boats in Hong Kong harbor.
Hong Kong is marked ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) by contrast between new and old, rich and poor. There are wide, well-paved streets with modern office buildings, department stores, theaters, and fashionable hotels. New apartment houses are found in many parts of Hong Kong. But only a few blocks away are slums (贫民窟), where the streets are narrow, and the buildings old and crowded. Because housing has been in short supply, the government passed laws in 1980 to try to reduce the large number of illegal immigrants entering Hong Kong.
1. It can be learned from the passage that Hong Kong is ____.
A. a lively and flouri ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )shing harbor city B. the most densely populated place on earth

Leonardo da Vin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ci is most famous for his painting of the Mona Lisa which is in the Louvre Museum in Paris. Although Leonardo da Vinci is well known for his paintings, it is interesting to learn that Leonardo was a very good student of science. Some of his most important work is in science rather than art.
Leonardo da Vinci was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )born in 1452 in Italy near the town of Vinci. As a young child, he was very talented at art. He also showed a great interest in machines. In fact, some of his earliest drawings show machines work. By the time he was a teenager, he had become an apprentice at one of Italy’s best art studios in Florence. At the studio, Leonardo learned a variety of skills. He also used lots of different machines which helped him to learn how they worked.
Leonardo soon ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) became known around Italy as an excellent artist. He painted in churches in Florence and worked for a rich gentleman in Milan. He produced paintings and sculptures which can still be seen in Italy today. He returned to Florence in the early 1500s, and this is where he painted the famous Mona Lisa.
Leonardo kept ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a diary during his lifetime. This diary shows that around the time that he painted the Mona Lisa, he was becoming very interested in science. He also drew his inventions, plans and the human body in this diary. One of these drawings is of a helicopter. His helicopter was basically the same as our helicopters today. Before his death in 1519, he drew many pictures of the human body that show the detail of the muscles, the bones and the organs, something that was unknown at his time.
Leonardo da Vinci was a genius of his time in ______.
art B. science
C. both art and science D. machines and medicine
2. The famous pain ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ting Mona Lisa, is painted in ______ in now in ______.
Paris; Florence B. Paris; Italy
C. Florence; Milan D. Italy; France
3. At the time Leonardo da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa, he ______.
Was very famous B. was very interested in science
C. hadn’t done any work D. had started his diary
4. What does the writer want to show in the last paragraph
A. He was a man befo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )re his time because his ideas were much further ahead
B. As an artist, he was also good at many other things.
C. His art and science are not separate.
D. Although he wa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s known for his paintings, he was a good student of science.
5. Which one is t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he closest in meaning to the underlined word “apprentice” _______.
