閱讀（共兩節(jié)，滿分50.0分）

• 11．The Origins of Famous Brands Every day in our live we use lots of trademarked products with brand names.Although many brand names are simple acronyms（首字母縮略詞） or come from their founders，some of the companies we are in favour of actually have fascinating and surprising back stories.
      Starbucks
      It seems fitting that the most famous coffee brand in the world would take its name from one of the world's greatest works of literature.The inspiration for the name of the coffeehouse came from Herman Melville's Moby Dick.The founders' original idea was to name the company after the Captain Ahab's ship--Pequot，but they eventually decided that Pequot wasn't a great name for coffee，so they chose Ahab's first mate，Starbucks，as the name instead.
      Google
      Google was originally called BackRub，for it searched for links in every corner of the Web.In 1997，when the founders of the company were searching for a new name showing a huge amount of data for their rapidly improving search technology，a friend suggested the word"googol".When a friend tried to register the new domain （域） name，he misspelled "googol"as "google".
      Nike
      Originally founded as a distributor for Japanese running shoes，the company was originally named BRS，or Blue Ribb on Sports.In 1971，BRS introduced its own soccer shoe，a model called Nike，which is also the name for the Greek goddess of victory.In 1978，the company officially renamed itself as Nike，Inc.
      The right name is essential to a company's success，and a great origin story is just as significant as a great product.An attractive origin story is one more thing that keeps customers guessing，wondering，and buying its products.
  
  （1）Which book inspired the name of the coffeehouse？

  
  A．Herman Melville
  B．Starbucks
  C．Herman Melville's Moby Dick
  D．Pequot
  （2）Why did the founders of the Google want to change its name？

  
  A．The company's search technology was improving rapidly.
  B．They wanted new customers.
  C．The company's original name was too long.
  D．They mistook their name.
  （3）Why is the right name essential to a company's success？

  
  A．It can change the company's image.
  B．It makes customers imagine and purchase its goods.
  C．It explains the development of the company to customers.
  D．It can add myth to the company.

     Earth a lost her balance and fell heavily onto the floor. "I'll never be as flexible as you are，Grandma." she sighed softly.
     Eartha's Grandma had been practising yoga for more than 50 years，who could twist，bend and curl her body with ease.She could even stand on her hands and pull her body into different poses.
     "Eartha，your name means 'patience'.You need patience for yoga，" said her Grandma.
     Like many schools in the country，Eartha' s school held an annual yoga competition.Eartha wanted to make her Grandma proud.But she could hardly stand on one leg.
     Grandma returned to the kitchen.Eartha kept practicing hard.She stood straight，her arms at her sides.She moved her hands and knees，arching her back.All of these poses were easy，while the competition was certain to be harder.So she tried more challenging poses，lying on her stomach and pushing up on her hands.Her arms soon got tired and she collapsed to the floor.Eartha wandered into the kitchen.
     "Finished already？" asked Grandma.
     "It's hard，" Eartha said. "How did you get to be so strong？"
     Grandma smiled. "Patience."
     The next morning，Eartha felt ached and sore all over the body.Her legs hurt so badly from the poses she practiced that she even wanted to quit.However，her grandmother's words echoed in her mind，and she held the pose for a longer time.
     Each day Eartha would practice anew pose，before going over the poses she had practiced the previous few days.With the date of the competition approaching，she started to feel stronger and more flexible.Her arms and legs stopped trembling.
     The day of the yoga competition arrived as expected.In the gym，Eartha lay on her back with her knees bent and placed her hands on the floor behind her.Everything went smoothly.Just then，so eager was she to win Grandma's pride that her poses displayed a mix of impatience，and rigidness.Eartha fell on the mat，which cost her edge over other competitors.A bell rang，ending the first half of the competition.
  （1）續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右：
  （2）請?jiān)诖痤}卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
  Thinking she ruined all because of impatience，Eartha looked at the audience for Grandma.
  _______
  Calm and confident，Eartha stepped on the stage for the second half of the competition.
  _______
