Personally Nike is my favorite oneits so simple. And I liked the stories behind them, which made me forget all other things. McDonalds, Apple, and Mercedes Benz own great logos as well, and they are among my favorites.NikeIn the Greek myth, Nike is the goddess of victory and the source of inspiration for soldiers. This logo represents the wing in the famous statue of the Greek goddess. Nikes logo was designed by Carolyn Davidson in 1971 for $ 35, and was registered as a trademark in 1995.McDonaldsThe logo was designed in 1962 by Jim Schindler to resemble the arch shaped (拱形的) signs on the side of the panys then walk-up hamburger stand. Later on, the two golden arches were bined together to form the M. The McDonalds name was added to the logo in 1968.AppleThere are different stories behind Apples logo. The first logo was a reference to the religious story of Adam and Eve, in which the apple represented the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. One year later, the second logo was designed in 1977 by Steven Jobs and Ronald Wayne, and it described Sir Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree. This logo didnt stay long. One year later it was replaced almost immediately by graphic designer Rob Janoffs “rainbow apple”, a rainbow-colored silhouette (轮廓) of an apple with a bite taken out of it. And then the rainbow-colored apple was replaced by the one-colored logo in 1998. It has not been changed so far.Mercedes BenzThe Mercedes Benz logo, which was originally created by Gottlieb Daimler in 1909, consists of a simple description of a three-pointed star that represents its rule of the land, the sea and the air. The pany was founded by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach. Mercedes is the name of Maybachs elder daughter, while Benz came as a result of a bination with Benz Cie. and DMG in 1926.21.

Millions of them，all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year，Ive found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However，people still use their bicycles to get around. For many，its the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also e in different colorssilver，green，red，blue，yellow，whatever you want. Its fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads，move skillfully through traffic，and ride even on sidewalks（人行道）. Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just cant provide. Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture，I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather acpanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home. My first ride home was orderly（守秩序的）To be safe，I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didnt want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully. Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide，so crossing took time，skill and a little bit of luck. I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.25.

CAs I walked into the primary school, I looked down at my new black Mary Jane shoesI wanted to be anywhere in the world but Fountain Inn Elementary School.I stood at Mrs. Blackstones door. Before I tried the great escape, the wooden door suddenly opened to the loud voice of Mrs. Blackstone, my new fifth grade teacher.“Weve been waiting for you!” She said loudly. With a smile my mom walked away and I was left standing in front of a group of students.Over the next few days, Mrs. Blackstone made it her job to find me a new best friend. During history lessons, when I didnt want to speak in front of the class, shed not only call on me but have me stand up to address my classmates.One spring afternoon, Mrs. Blackstone asked me to stay after class.“Id like to speak with you, Amanda.”My mind raced. Had I made a bad grade? Had I hurt someones feelings?“Are you enjoying your new school?” She sat fortably behind her desk.“I want to tell you something, between you and me, not to be shared with anyone else.” With her eyebrows raised she continued, “I see something special in you. The way you municate with others, the kindness you showI think you have great potential to be something very important.”I listened attentively to every word.“Ive been a teacher for over twenty-five years; I can see it. But you must believe in yourself. Thats very important. Remember that and youll go far.”She then hugged me and said, “See you tomorrow.”Her singsong voice was music to my ears that day. I walked out of her class, not staring at my Mary Jane shoes, but looking straight ahead with my head high.

To encourage the author to be confident.DEating with a fork instead of a spoon can help you lose weight, a new research suggests. It also says that putting mirrors in your dining room will help weight loss because they actually make junk food taste worse. The researchers asked 185 college students to choose chocolate cake or a fruit salad and evaluate the taste. Those who ate them in a room with a mirror scored the taste of the junk food lower than those in a room without one, but it had no effect on the fruit salad. Lead scientist, Dr Ata Jami of the University of Central Florida, said: “A glance in the mirror tells people more than just about their physical appearance. It enables them to view themselves and helps them to judge themselves and their behaviors in a same way that they judge others.” The mirrors were found to push the subjects(实验对象) to pare and match their own behaviors with accepted social standards. The studys authors believe it proves that people dont want to look in the mirror when they feel that they are now sticking to those social standards. When they do look in the mirror, feelings of disfort and failure are increased. Therefore, the presence of the mirror causes a disfort and lowers the taste of unhealthy food. But, this is only the case if the person selects the food they are eating because they are responsible for that choice.The study suggests that mirrors be placed in eating spaces so people will start eating more healthily.32. According to the research, which of the following may taste worst when eating in a room with a mirror?A. Porridge. B. Chocolate cake. C. Vegetables. D. Chicken soup. 33. Why can mirror influence the taste of junk food when people have it?A. Because it reminds people of their not charming appearance.B. Because it distracts peoples attention to judge others. C. Because it makes people feel full.D. Because it gives people a feeling of failure.34.To make people eat more healthily, its advised to place a mirror.A. in dining rooms B. in living rooms C. in bedrooms D. in gardens35. Which part of the journal may this text appear?A. Entertainment. B. Sports. C. Health. D. Education.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10 分） 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Why should girls play sports?

A holiday are the best time and the best chance to make up for that. Take a part-time job is a good form of social practice. That we have learned in books and in class cant have an important effect us as what we have learned through personal practice. In social practice, we can surely make a progress in both knowledge or practical ability. Beside, when we take a part-time job, we may get paid more or less to help their family.
