The Bedouin people think most highly of people who show loyalty. To them loyalty does not mean that one is devoted to a country, a place, or a leader. Loyalty means being faithful to one’s family and tribe(部落)。
The Bedouin people take pride in their ancestors(祖先)。 They do not admire a hero from an ordinary or poor family as much as one who comes from an honored family. They particularly respect those who have received a good name from their ancestors and then have passed it on to their children.
A man’s position among the black-tent people depends upon his ancestors, relatives, and fellow tribesmen. If they are honored, he is also honored. If they are disgraced, he too is disgraced. Therefore one carefully guards the honor of his family, his lineage(血统),and his tribe.
A man can protect his family’s honor by being brave and generous and by giving protection to those who ask for it. He also guards it by carefully watching the women of his family.
A Bedouin woman cannot bring honor to her family, but she can bring disgrace. Even if a woman only looks as if she has done wrong, she may be killed. The honor of her family depends upon her virtue(美德)。
1.It can be inferred from the passage that a Bedouin man will feel disgraced if he____.
A.does not succeed in business |
B.needs to ask for help from his brothers |
C.does nothing when a member of his family is badly treated |
D.does not help a stranger who asks for assistance |
2.The Bedouin people respect those who____.
A.leave their families to seek success on their own |
B.value their families more than anything else |
C.become heroes with an ordinary family background |
D.are devoted to their country |
3.We can learn from this passage that Bedouin women are____.
A.treated as the equals of men |
B.listened carefully when they tell their side of a story |
C.respected for the many things they do |
D.not respected as much as men |

When most people think of the word, “brand”, they think of the Nike Swoosh, Ford “blue oval,” McDonalds Golden Arches, or the “State Farm is There” jingle. They know what theywill get with a wellbranded product or service as promised. Think of Volvo, for instance, and your first thoughts are probably something like “well built, comfortable, Swedish” and, most of all, “safety”.
So a brand is a lot more than a logo, icon, or slogan. Catchy as it may sound, it isn’t the “brand” in the true sense—and it certainly isn’t what makes the brand valuable.A company’s brand is a promise. It’s a description of the company’s character. To some extent, it’s a mission; it’s how the company creates and delivers value. Also, it’s the feeling the company conveys to its stakeholders. Successful brands meet various challenges and consistently deliver on their promises, which is how they create brand value.To illustrate it, here are some brand promises from three highly successful, world-wide brands:The NFL: “To be the premier sports and entertainment brand that brings people together, connecting them socially and emotionally like no other.”Coca-Cola: “To inspire moments of optimism and uplift.”VirginAtlantic: “To be genuine, fun, contemporary, and different in everything we do at a reasonable price.”
Interesting. In none of the above cases does the brand promise describe what these companies do or provide. The NFL’s brand promise says nothing about football. Coca-Cola doesn’t talk about providing the best soft drinks in the world. And Virgin Atlantic’s promise goes a lot farther than seating passengers in its aircrafts.
Of course, a promise is nowhere near enough. The promise along with look, personality, time, money, and hard work combined can eventually help to build and maintain great brands and acquire a special patina(光泽) of what I call “me” appeal, showing my personal appetite. Apple has that patina. All of this can lead to sub-brands, like iPhone and iPad which acquire the glory of the parent brand.
Sometimes a brand is memorable because of little things. TD Bank has a special place in their branches for you to deposit all those coins you collect in jars. It is called the Penny Arcade that turns depositing your coins into a fun game in which you can even win prizes. Years ago, Dime Savings Bank in New York had a small dime(十分硬币) carrier. It was given to kids and then they’d fill up its 50 slots (投币口) with a dime in each one and bring it to exchange for a $5 bill.
1.What can we know from the first 2 paragraphs?
A. People tend to believe in top brands because they deliverwhat is promised.
B. Well branded Swedish products are of good quality but more costly than others.
C. Well branded products are faced with great challenges of quality currently.
D. A company shouldn’t care about logos because they can’t make the brand valuable.
2.In the author’s opinion, a brand promise is ___________.
A. thecontract between a company and the people who interact with it
B. the only way to build and maintain a great brand’s value
C. a description of what a company actually does for its consumers
D. an important factor contributing to the success of a brand
3.According to the passage, what isprobably “Virgin Atlantic”?
A. A financial company. B. A high-tech software product.
C. An airline company. D. An entertainment product.
4.What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Buying a certain brand says nothing about the person who buys it.
B. Little things can mean a lot and make a brand memorable.
C. Sub-brands are relatively easy to build and generate huge profits.
D. Dime Savings Bank’s dime carriers are difficult for kids to operate.

Most of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in the history books are great conquerors (统治者) and generals and soldiers, while the people who really helped civilization forward are often never mentioned at all. We do not know who first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat, or calculated the length of the year, or manured (施肥)a field; but we know all about the killers and destroyers.
People think a great deal of them, so much that on all the highest pillars (纪念柱)in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries are those that have beaten in battle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as conquerors. It is just possible they are, but they are not the most civilized. Animals fight; so do savages(野蛮人); so to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in which an animal or a savage is good, but it is not to be civilized. Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and telling them how to do it most efficiently — this, after all, is what conquerors and generals have done — is not being civilized. People fight to settle quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized peoples ought to be able to find some ways of settling their disputes other than by seeing which side can kill off greater number of the other side, and then saying that the side which has killed most has won. And not only has it won, but, because it has won, it has been in the right. For that is what going to war means; it means saying that power is right.
This is what the story of mankind has on the whole been like. Even our own age has fought the two greatest wars in history, in which millions of people were killed or mutilated (disabled). And while today it is true that people do not fight and kill each other in the streets — while, that is to say, we have got to the stage of keeping the rules and behaving properly to each other in daily life — nations and countries have not learnt to do this yet, and still behave like savages.
1.In the opening sentence, the author indicates that ________ .
A.most history books were written by conquerors, generals and soldiers
B.history book tell us far more about conquerors, generals and soldiers than actual creators of civilization
C.those who rally helped human civilization forward is not mentioned in history books at all
D.conquerors, generals and soldiers should be least mentioned in history books
2.According to the passage, most people believe that the greatest countries are those that________.
A.built the highest pillars for their conquerors
B.were ruled by the greatest number of conquerors
C.won the greatest number of battles against other countries
D.were beaten in battle by the greatest number of other countries
3.In the author’s opinion, the countries that conquered a large number of other countries are
________.
A.certainly both the most powerful and most civilized.
B.neither the greatest nor the most civilized in any way.
C.possibly either the most civilized or the most powerful in a way.
D.likely the most powerful in some sense but not the most civilized.
4.The meaning of the last sentence in Paragraph 2 is that________.
A.fighters believe that the winner is right and the loser wrong.
B.only those who are powerful have the right to go to war.
C.those who are right should fight against those who are wrong.
D.only powerful nations might win the right to rule weak ones.

Many people think that the most popular way of communicating with other people is through the mouth. But what they don’t know is that actual communication using the mouth accounts for(占……比例)only around 10%(or even less)of all the means to communicate a message.
Moreover, you can never determine the truthfulness or honesty of people by what they say alone. In fact, words expressed through the mouth often do not reflect what people really think or feel. The more reliable way you can determine their true inner feelings and thoughts is by reading their body language. Everybody communicates using these gestures and if you understand the gestures and their meanings you will be able to read people and know what they are really communicating to you. One researcher even went as far as to say that we speak to hide what’s on our minds. But gestures cannot lie.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you can “see through” the emotions of other people? Let’s say you ask a person whether he can do an important task. He says “OK”. But deep inside, you are questioning yourself, “Is he really willing to do this job? ” or “Does he have the confidence in finishing this task? ”You can’t question him directly because that would be like belittling him. And even if you ask him those questions, his replies will not tell you what he really feels or thinks. So the most useful way is to observe his body language. Expressions like smiling, frowning(皱眉), pouting(撅嘴), facial reddening, sweating, toe curling and sideways glances are visible hints that can help you make a right judgment.
1. According to the passage, we know .
A. words through the mouth are the most common way in communication
B. body language is the quickest way to help people understand each other
C. expressions are the most powerful tool to judge whether a man is confident or not
D. you may know what a person really thinks with the help of reading his body language
2.What does the underlined sentence mean in the second paragraph?
A. We can express ourselves well by body language.
B. We use words to prevent others knowing our true thoughts.
C. Spoken words can fully reflect our true self.
D. We use body language to help express ourselves.
3.The underlined word in the third paragraph can be replaced with .
A. looking down upon B. speaking highly of
C. laughing at D. believing in
