I was reading these interesting stries behind a grup f great lgs in the wrld. Persnally Nike is my favrite ne — it’s s simple. And I liked the stries behind them, which made me frget all ther things. McDnald’s, Apple, Mercedes Benz and Adidas wn great lgs as well, and they are amng my favrites.
Nike
In the Greek myth, Nike is the gddess f victry and the surce f inspiratin fr sldiers. This lg represents the wing in the famus statue f the Greek gddess. Nike’s lg was designed by Carlyn Davidsn in 1971 fr $35, and was registered as a trademark in 1995.
McDnald’s
The lg was designed in 1962 by Jim Schindler t resemble the arch-shaped (拱形的) signs n the side f the cmpany’s then walk-up hamburger stand. Later n, the tw glden arches were cmbined tgether t frm the “M”. The McDnald’s name was added t the lg in 1968.
Apple
There are different stries behind Apple’s lg. The first lg was a reference t the religius stry f Adam and Eve, in which the apple represented the fruit f the Tree f Knwledge. One year later, the secnd lg was designed in 1977 by Steve Jbs and Rnald Wayne, and it described Sir Isaac Newtn sitting under an apple tree. This lg didn’t stay lng. One year later it was replaced almst immediately by graphic designer Rb Janff’s “rainbw apple”, a rainbw-clred silhuette (轮廓) f an apple with a bite taken ut f it. And then the rainbw-clred apple was replaced by the ne-clred lg in 1998. It has nt been changed s far.
Mercedes Benz
The Mercedes Benz lg, which was riginally created by Gttlieb Daimler in 1909, cnsists f a simple descriptin f a three-pinted star that represents its rule f the land, the sea and the air. The cmpany was funded by Gttlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach. Mercedes is the name f Maybach’s elder daughter, while Benz came as a result f a cmbinatin with Benz, Cie and DMG in 1926.
Adidas
The Adidas lg, which was created by the funder f the cmpany Adi Dassler, represents muntains, pinting twards the challenges that are seen ahead and gals that can be achieved. The lg was used fr the first time in 1967.
1. We can learn that Apple’s present lg is ________.
A. the religius stry f Adam and Eve

D. the rainbw-clred bitten apple
2. ________ stands fr the rule f the land, the sea and the air.

My 16-year-ld sn, Antn, had gne t the lcal swimming hle. Mst kids swam there, and there were plenty f rcks fr them t use as safe harbrs, s I had n fears fr his safety.
Still, the firefighter’s first wrds “Yu need t cme up here t the Stillwater River” made me catch my breath and his fllw-up wrds gave me relief: “Yur sn is OK.”
When I gt t the river, I immediately saw the firetruck, ambulance and Antn, wrapped with a twel abut his shulders, sitting quietly n a lw platfrm f the fire engine.
I hurried ver t him. “Yu OK?” I asked.
“Yeah,” was all that he said. But my eyes begged fr an explanatin, I didn’t get it frm my sn, hwever, wh tends t play his cards clse t his vest.
The stry was this: A wman was being swept under water. Hearing the cries, Antn and his friend Tyler, withut hesitatin, swam ut t her, and brught her safely t shre.
In an age in which the wrd “her” is bradcast with abandn and seemingly applied t anyne wh make it thrugh the day, I realized the real thing in my sn. The teens are stubbrn and self-centered, but that didn’t mean they have n desire t d gd.
Still shcked by my sn’s daring, I drve him hme. Alng the way, I tried t dig ut sme mre infrmatin frm him－but he had precius little t say. The nly wrds he said were, “What’s fr supper?”
I spent sme time alne that evening, thinking abut the tragedy that might have been. The next mrning, when Antn gt up, I half expected him t tell me the stry. But all he did was tast sme bread, pull himself tgether, and head fr the dr t start a new day. Watching frm the windw, I was reminded that still water ften runs deep.
4. Why did the mther allw her sn t swim there?
A. Because he was an excellent swimmer.
B. Because the water f the river was shallw.
C. Because he was ld enugh t swim.
D. Because the rcks culd be f help if there is danger.
5. The underlined part “wh tends t play his cards clse t his vest” prbably means ______.
A. Antn is a by fnd f swimming with ther kids
B. Antn is unwilling t tell thers what he thinks
C. Antn always has a desire t help thers
D. Antn seldm changes his mind
6. In the mther’s eyes, what her sn did was _________________.
A. dangerus but interestingB. unexpected and curageus
C. meaningful but difficultD. awful and absurd
7. What might be the best title fr the passage?
A. My sn, my her B. Antn, a silent by
C. A gd deed D. A prud mther

Can yu imagine what 680,000 tns f fd lk like? That’s the amunt f fd wasted in Britain each year, and at the tp f the list f wasted fd is bread. In the British diet, bread appears in every meal. It is eaten fr breakfast, used fr sandwiches fr lunch and put in sups at dinner. Almst everyne in Britain buys bread.
Bread is s imprtant t the British that they use the wrd “bread” t mean “mney” and the wrd “laf” (一条面包) t mean “head”. S let’s use ur “laves” t understand why s much “bread” is wasted!
Even thugh bread is still sld in such a ppular way and in such a large amunt, that desn’t mean it’s made full use f. It seems peple are simply buying much mre than they need, s they thrw away the bread that they dn’t need.
Baker Chris Yung explains that the British aren’t valuing their bread because bread is n lnger respected. “Nne f the bread that is thrwn away is ‘real’ bread—hmemade r carefullymade bread, but is bught frm the bread shp.”
Anther baker Mark Byle agrees. “If yu make smething by yurself, yu dn’t want t waste it because yu knw hw much energy yu’ve put int it. But althugh hme baking is a nice idea, fr many it’s ut f their ability because they have t wrk such lng hurs every day that they dn’t have time t make bread by themselves at hme. S they simply buy bread and just bring it hme t eat.”
Perhaps the British shuld try t bake bread by themselves, which can prbably make their dustbins lighter.
8. What can we infer frm the passage?
A. Bread plays an imprtant part in British diet.
B. Different British peple like different fds.
C. Bread will becme less ppular in Britain.
D. Bread is the favrite fd fr the British.
9. If a British bss says t his wrkers “Please bring yur laves here,” he ________.
A. wants his wrkers t eat healthily
B. advises his wrkers t buy mre bread
C. asks his wrkers t wrk mre cleverly
D. prmises t give his wrkers mre mney
10. Mark Byle believes that the British thrw away much bread mainly because ________.
A. they are tired f eating bread
B. they are t rich t value bread
C. they dn’t like the taste f bread
D. they dn’t put any energy int making bread
11. Many British peple fail t make bread by themselves at hme because ________.
A. they are very busy
B. they dn’t earn much mney
C. they becme lazier than befre
D. they dn’t knw hw t bake bread
D
Why shuld mankind explre space? Why shuld mney, time and effrt be spent explring and researching smething with s few apparent benefits? Why shuld resurces be spent n space rather than n cnditins and peple n Earth? These are questins that, understandably, are very ften asked.
Perhaps the best answer lies in ur genetic makeup as human beings. What drve ur ancestrs t mve frm the trees int the plains, and n int all pssible areas and envirnments? The wider the spread f a species, the better its chance f survival. Perhaps the best reasn fr explring space is this genetic tendency t expand wherever pssible.
Nearly every successful civilizatin has explred, because by ding s, any dangers in surrunding areas can be identified and prepared fr. Withut knwledge, we may be cmpletely destryed by the danger. With knwledge, we can lessen its effects.
Explratin als allws minerals and ther ptential resurces t be fund. Even if we have n immediate need f them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resurces may be mre than physical pssessins. Knwledge r techniques have been acquired thrugh explratin. The techniques may have medical applicatins which can imprve the length r quality f ur lives. We have already benefited frm ther spin-ffs including imprvements in earthquake predictin, in satellites fr weather frecasting and in cmmunicatins systems. Even nn-stick pans and mirrred sunglasses are by-prducts f technlgical develpments in the space industry!
While many resurces are spent n what seems a small return, the explratin f space allws creative, brave and intelligent members f ur species t fcus n what may serve t save us. While space may hld many wnders and explanatins f hw the universe was frmed r hw it wrks, it als hlds dangers. The danger exists, but knwledge can help human beings t survive. Withut the ability t reach ut acrss space, the chance t save urselves might nt exist.
While Earth is the nly planet knwn t supprt life, surely the adaptive ability f humans wuld allw us t live n ther planets. It is true that the lifestyle wuld be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely culd in the future.
12. Why des the authr mentin the questins?
A. T express his dubts.
B. T cmpare different ideas.
C. T intrduce pints fr discussin.
D. T describe the cnditins n Earth.
13. What is the reasn fr explring space based n?
A. Humans are nature brn t d s.
B. Humans have the tendency t fight.
C. Humans may find new surces f fd.
D. Humans dn’t like t stay in the same place.
14. The underlined wrd “spin-ffs” in Paragraph 4 prbably refers t ___.
A. survival chances B. unexpected benefits
C. ptential resurces D. physical pssessins
15. Which f the statements can best sum up the passage?
A. Space explratin has created many wnders.
B. Space explratin prvides the best value fr mney.
C. Space explratin can benefit science and technlgy.
D. Space explratin may help us avid ptential prblems n Earth.

The lg was designed in 1962 by Jim Schindler t resemble the arch-shaped (拱形的) signs n the side f the cmpany’s then walk-up hamburger stand. Later n, the tw glden arches were cmbined tgether t frm the “M”. The McDnald’s name was added t the lg in 1968.
Apple
There are different stries behind Apple’s lg. The first lg was a reference t the religius stry f Adam and Eve, in which the apple represented the fruit f the Tree f Knwledge. One year later, the secnd lg was designed in 1977 by Steve Jbs and Rnald Wayne, and it described Sir Isaac Newtn sitting under an apple tree. This lg didn’t stay lng. One year later it was replaced almst immediately by graphic designer Rb Janff’s “rainbw apple”, a rainbw-clred silhuette (轮廓) f an apple with a bite taken ut f it. And then the rainbw-clred apple was replaced by the ne-clred lg in 1998. It has nt been changed s far.
Mercedes Benz
The Mercedes Benz lg, which was riginally created by Gttlieb Daimler in 1909, cnsists f a simple descriptin f a three-pinted star that represents its rule f the land, the sea and the air. The cmpany was funded by Gttlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach. Mercedes is the name f Maybach’s elder daughter, while Benz came as a result f a cmbinatin with Benz, Cie and DMG in 1926.
Adidas
The Adidas lg, which was created by the funder f the cmpany Adi Dassler, represents muntains, pinting twards the challenges that are seen ahead and gals that can be achieved. The lg was used fr the first time in 1967.

My 16-year-ld sn, Antn, had gne t the lcal swimming hle. Mst kids swam there, and there were plenty f rcks fr them t use as safe harbrs, s I had n fears fr his safety.
Still, the firefighter’s first wrds “Yu need t cme up here t the Stillwater River” made me catch my breath and his fllw-up wrds gave me relief: “Yur sn is OK.”
When I gt t the river, I immediately saw the firetruck, ambulance and Antn, wrapped with a twel abut his shulders, sitting quietly n a lw platfrm f the fire engine.
I hurried ver t him. “Yu OK?” I asked.
“Yeah,” was all that he said. But my eyes begged fr an explanatin, I didn’t get it frm my sn, hwever, wh tends t play his cards clse t his vest.
The stry was this: A wman was being swept under water. Hearing the cries, Antn and his friend Tyler, withut hesitatin, swam ut t her, and brught her safely t shre.
In an age in which the wrd “her” is bradcast with abandn and seemingly applied t anyne wh make it thrugh the day, I realized the real thing in my sn. The teens are stubbrn and self-centered, but that didn’t mean they have n desire t d gd.
Still shcked by my sn’s daring, I drve him hme. Alng the way, I tried t dig ut sme mre infrmatin frm him－but he had precius little t say. The nly wrds he said were, “What’s fr supper?”
I spent sme time alne that evening, thinking abut the tragedy that might have been. The next mrning, when Antn gt up, I half expected him t tell me the stry. But all he did was tast sme bread, pull himself tgether, and head fr the dr t start a new day. Watching frm the windw, I was reminded that still water ften runs deep.
4. Why did the mther allw her sn t swim there?
A. Because he was an excellent swimmer.
B. Because the water f the river was shallw.
C. Because he was ld enugh t swim.
D. Because the rcks culd be f help if there is danger.

Can yu imagine what 680,000 tns f fd lk like? That’s the amunt f fd wasted in Britain each year, and at the tp f the list f wasted fd is bread. In the British diet, bread appears in every meal. It is eaten fr breakfast, used fr sandwiches fr lunch and put in sups at dinner. Almst everyne in Britain buys bread.
Bread is s imprtant t the British that they use the wrd “bread” t mean “mney” and the wrd “laf” (一条面包) t mean “head”. S let’s use ur “laves” t understand why s much “bread” is wasted!
Even thugh bread is still sld in such a ppular way and in such a large amunt, that desn’t mean it’s made full use f. It seems peple are simply buying much mre than they need, s they thrw away the bread that they dn’t need.
Baker Chris Yung explains that the British aren’t valuing their bread because bread is n lnger respected. “Nne f the bread that is thrwn away is ‘real’ bread—hmemade r carefullymade bread, but is bught frm the bread shp.”
Anther baker Mark Byle agrees. “If yu make smething by yurself, yu dn’t want t waste it because yu knw hw much energy yu’ve put int it. But althugh hme baking is a nice idea, fr many it’s ut f their ability because they have t wrk such lng hurs every day that they dn’t have time t make bread by themselves at hme. S they simply buy bread and just bring it hme t eat.”
Perhaps the British shuld try t bake bread by themselves, which can prbably make their dustbins lighter.
8. What can we infer frm the passage?
A. Bread plays an imprtant part in British diet.
B. Different British peple like different fds.
C. Bread will becme less ppular in Britain.
D. Bread is the favrite fd fr the British.
9. If a British bss says t his wrkers “Please bring yur laves here,” he ________.
A. wants his wrkers t eat healthily
B. advises his wrkers t buy mre bread
C. asks his wrkers t wrk mre cleverly
D. prmises t give his wrkers mre mney
10. Mark Byle believes that the British thrw away much bread mainly because ________.
A. they are tired f eating bread
B. they are t rich t value bread
C. they dn’t like the taste f bread
D. they dn’t put any energy int making bread
11. Many British peple fail t make bread by themselves at hme because ________.
A. they are very busy
B. they dn’t earn much mney
C. they becme lazier than befre
D. they dn’t knw hw t bake bread
D
Why shuld mankind explre space? Why shuld mney, time and effrt be spent explring and researching smething with s few apparent benefits? Why shuld resurces be spent n space rather than n cnditins and peple n Earth? These are questins that, understandably, are very ften asked.
Perhaps the best answer lies in ur genetic makeup as human beings. What drve ur ancestrs t mve frm the trees int the plains, and n int all pssible areas and envirnments? The wider the spread f a species, the better its chance f survival. Perhaps the best reasn fr explring space is this genetic tendency t expand wherever pssible.
Nearly every successful civilizatin has explred, because by ding s, any dangers in surrunding areas can be identified and prepared fr. Withut knwledge, we may be cmpletely destryed by the danger. With knwledge, we can lessen its effects.
Explratin als allws minerals and ther ptential resurces t be fund. Even if we have n immediate need f them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resurces may be mre than physical pssessins. Knwledge r techniques have been acquired thrugh explratin. The techniques may have medical applicatins which can imprve the length r quality f ur lives. We have already benefited frm ther spin-ffs including imprvements in earthquake predictin, in satellites fr weather frecasting and in cmmunicatins systems. Even nn-stick pans and mirrred sunglasses are by-prducts f technlgical develpments in the space industry!
While many resurces are spent n what seems a small return, the explratin f space allws creative, brave and intelligent members f ur species t fcus n what may serve t save us. While space may hld many wnders and explanatins f hw the universe was frmed r hw it wrks, it als hlds dangers. The danger exists, but knwledge can help human beings t survive. Withut the ability t reach ut acrss space, the chance t save urselves might nt exist.
While Earth is the nly planet knwn t supprt life, surely the adaptive ability f humans wuld allw us t live n ther planets. It is true that the lifestyle wuld be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely culd in the future.
12. Why des the authr mentin the questins?
A. T express his dubts.
B. T cmpare different ideas.
C. T intrduce pints fr discussin.
D. T describe the cnditins n Earth.
13. What is the reasn fr explring space based n?
A. Humans are nature brn t d s.
B. Humans have the tendency t fight.
C. Humans may find new surces f fd.
D. Humans dn’t like t stay in the same place.
14. The underlined wrd “spin-ffs” in Paragraph 4 prbably refers t ___.
A. survival chances B. unexpected benefits
C. ptential resurces D. physical pssessins
15. Which f the statements can best sum up the passage?
A. Space explratin has created many wnders.
B. Space explratin prvides the best value fr mney.
C. Space explratin can benefit science and technlgy.
D. Space explratin may help us avid ptential prblems n Earth.
