In this entry t my blg series abut successful multinatinal cmpanies, I will check ut the furniture chain IKEA．IKEA has been the wrld’s dminant furniture chain since 2008, accrding t Frbes magazine.
Swedish entrepreneur Ingvar Kamprad was nly 17 years ld when he started the cmpany in 1943．These days, the chain has abut 400 stres selling appliances, furniture and ther husehld items in ver 40 cuntries arund the wrld. S hw have they managed t becme such a glbal hit, t me it seems that three features f the chain stand ut: their dedicatin t research, their affrdable prices and their ec-friendly reputatin.
The executives f IKEA have lng understd the need t research ther markets in rder t succeed glbally. The cmpany is cnstantly cnducting research n hw peple use their furniture and what they are lking fr. They recently cnducted research in eight cities wrldwide. This is hw they learned, fr example, that Krean custmers want a special kimchif refrigeratr.
But in rder t sell at discunt prices, they need t make and sell a lt f the same thing t keep csts lw. This way, they can get lw prices frm suppliers, and charge super-lw prices t their custmers. As a result, they can keep their prices ecnmical even during perids f inflatin. This is why they will shw the same prducts in different ways in their stres, depending n the lcal culture. A British bedrm display might have a British flag bedspread n it, whereas ne in Tky may have a traditinal mat n the flr. In China, IKEA’s fastest-grwing market, dmestic manufacturers make mst f the prducts they sell in rder t keep transprt csts lw.
A final selling pint f the cmpany is ec-friendly. A cmpany representative recently said that they are wrking n creating new prducts ut f materials we currently thrw away, such as recycled plastic and fil. In sme markets, they plan t market an electric bicycle, and in Seul, they recently planted a tree t celebrate the pening f a new stre.
Next week, I’ll lk at ther multinatinal cmpanies which specialize in husehld gds and autmbile prductin.
28．What’s ne f the fllwing reasns cntributing t IKEA ppularity in the wrld?
A．The fashinable feature.B．The variety f furniture.

29．Hw des IKEA sell prducts in lw price?
A．By making all the prducts in China.
B．By adjusting the price in different perids.
C．By shwing different prducts in the same way.
D．By prducing and setting large amunts f the same prducts.
30．Why des IKEA have an ec-friendly reputatin?

A lt mre animals glw under a special light than scientists previusly thught. This ability t glw is knwn as flurescence（荧光）, which happens when light is absrbed as ne wavelength and emitted as anther wavelength.
Travuilln, a scientist frm Harvard, wndered why s many animals had this unusual quality, and he asked ne key questin: Is there a functin behind the ability? T address the questin, Travuilln and his team tk a clser lk at the life histries f the glwing mammals.
The team discvered that the flurescence was mainly fund in light-clred areas f an animal’s skin and fur. Then they lked at where the flurescence was fund in the animal’s bdy. They cmpared that t the animal’s diet and hw the animals mved. They als checked whether the animal was ncturnal r diurnal, Travuilln explained. Animals that are ncturnal are mst active at night, whereas animals that are diurnal are mst active during the day.
One finding was that flurescence was mre cmmn amng grund-dwelling, tree-dwelling and burrwing mammals cmpared t animals that live in water, Travuilln said. The team als fund that having a flurescent cat was mre cmmn amng ncturnal animals cmpared t diurnal animals. One ptential explanatin fr that fact is that having a flurescent cat culd help n cturnal animals becme mre visible t ptential partners.
“S, fr example, with a species like a qull that has white spts n its back, the flurescence wuld simply brighten their spts,” Travuilln said. “In this way, they are mre easily seen. Flurescence might help members f a species find each ther and perhaps recgnize each ther frm a distance,” Travuilln added.
On a clsing nte, Travuilln cautined wildlife enthusiasts nt t g searching fr glwing critters with a UV light. That’s because UV light can damage the animal’s eyesight. Instead, if yu want t lk fr animals in the dark, he recmmended using a red light, since it isn’t as bright.
32．What kind f animals are mst active at night accrding t the passage?
A．Diurnal animals.B．Ncturnal animals.
C．Glwing animals.D．Underwater animals.
33．Why was a flurescent cat mre cmmn fr ncturnal animals?
A．T live in water.B．T help them mve easily at night.
C．T see the members f their species clearly.D．T brighten ther ncturnal animals’ spts.
34．What can we infer frm the last paragraph?
A．UV light is harmful fr the animal’s eyesight.
B．Wildlife enthusiasts can’t search fr glwing critters.
C．Ncturnal animals can be fund easily by wildlife enthusiasts.
D．Wildlife enthusiasts had better use bright light t search fr glwing mammals.
35．Which is the mst suitable title fr the text?
A．Active mammals with flurescent.B．Suggestins fr animals enthusiasts.
C．Animals glw under special lights.D．Mammals with an unusual ability in the night.

Then I’d cme hme, shw my parents and my dad wuld say, “Yu did such a great jb, hney! Ww, yu must be a great writer!” I was prbably a better writer in 5th grade than my average students at the time.

And as I grew lder, I remembered thse experiences and what my dad was always telling me, and it just srt f stuck with me, and became part f my subcnscius（潜意识）—that I was a great writer.

Then, fast frward t my freshman year f high schl. By this time, I had started t even ut（相等） with the rest f my peers, in terms f intellect. And then, it happened, the day that I was shattered.

My cnfidence began t crumble, and it was as if all thse years f praise and encuragement frm my dad had been a lie. Unable t cnfrnt Ms. Mn, I slumped back t my seat. My mind was cluded with self-dubt.

Very sn it was time fr my final exam result. When I nervusly waited fr my result, I became lst in thught. Finally, Ms. Mn handed me my exam paper, and her expressin was unreadable. What amazed me was that the paper was filled with praise. Ms. Mn smiled and said, “That was beynd my expectatins. Well dne.” A mixture f cnfusin and relief flded ver me. Frm that day n, I changed my attitude tward her. Althugh she may have been the “wrst” English teacher in my eyes, I nw knw that her tugh lve was exactly what I needed.
