　　Brotherly Love
　　Adidas and Puma have been two of the biggest names in sports shoe manufacturing for over half a century．
　　Since 1928 they have supplied shoes for Olympic athletes，World Cup—winning football heroes，Muhammad Ali，hip hop stars and rock musicians famous all over the world．But the story of these two companies begins in one house in the town of Herzogenaurach，Germany．
　　Adolph and Rudolph Dassler were the sons of a shoemaker．They loved sport but complained that they could never find comfortable shoes to play in．Rudolph always said，“You cannot play sports wearing shoes that you'd walk around town with．”So they started making their own．In 1920 Adolph made the first pair of athletics shoes with spikes(钉)，produced on the Dasslers’kitchen table．
　　On lst July 1924 they formed a shoe company，Dassler Brothers Ltd and they worked together for many years．The company became successful and it provided the shoes for Germany’s athletes at the 1928 and 1932 Olympic Games．
　　But in 1948 the brothers argued．No one knows exactly what happened，but family members have suggested that the argument was about money or women．The result was that Adolph left the company．His nickname was Adi，and using this and the first three letters of the family name，Dassler，he founded Adidas．
　　Rudolph relocated across the River Aurach and founded his own company too．At first he wanted to call it Ruda，but eventually he cailed it Puma，after the wild cat．The famous Puma logo of the Jumping cat has hardly changed since．
　　After the big split of 1948 Adolph and Rudolph never spoke to each other again and their companies havc now been in competition for over sixty years．Both companies were for many years the market leaders．though Adidas has always been more successful than Puma．A hip hop group，Run DMC，has even writtcn a song catied“My Adidas”and in 2023 Adidas bought Reebok，another big sports shoe company．
　　The terrible family argument should really be forgotten，but ever since it happened，over sixty years ago,the town has been split into two．Even now，some Adidas employees and Puma employees don’t talk to each other．
　　16．Adidas and puma began to make shoes at the end of 19th century．

　　How Technology Pushes Down Price
　　1 Prices have fallen in the food business heeause of advances in food production and distribution technology.Consumers have benefited greatly from those advances．People who predicted that the wold would run out of food were wron9．We are producing more and more food with less and less capital.Food is therefore more plentiful and cheaper than it has ever been．Spending on food compared with other goods has fallen for many years，and continues to drop．
　　2 Supermarkets have helped push down prices mainly because of their scale．Like any big business’they can invest in IT systems that make them efficient．And their size allows them to buv in bulk．As supermarkets get bigger，the prices get lower．
　　3 Huge retail companies such as Wal-Mart have tremendous power and they can put pressure on producers to cut their margins．As a result，some producers have had to make cuts．In recent years.
　　Unilever has cut its workforce by 33，000 to 245，000 and dropped lots of its minor brands as Dart of its“path to growth”strategy．Cadbury has shut nearly 20 percent of its 133 factories and cut 10 Dercent of its 55，000 global workforce．These cuts help keep costs down，and the price of food stays low．
　　4 Does cheap food make people unhealthy? Cheap food may encotlrage people to eat more．Good companies certainly think that giving people more food for their money makes them buy more．Giving people bigger portmns IS an easy way of making them feel they have got a better deal．That is why Dortions have got larger and larger．In America，soft drinks came in 80z(225g)cans in the past，then 120z(350g)，and now come in 200z(550g)calls．If a company can sell you an 80z portion for$7，they can sell you a 120z portion for$8．The only extra cost to the company is the food，which Drobably costs 25 cents．
　　5 Now companies are under pressure to stop selling bigger portions for less money．But it is hard to change the trend．

　　23．Paragraph 1__________
　　24．Paragraph 2__________
　　25．Paragraph 3__________
　　26．Paragraph 4__________
　　27．Big supermarkets can offer food at lower prices because they can buy in__________.
　　28．Some food producers have reduced__________．

　　Late one Sunday afternoon in September 1999，Oseola McCarty，an elderly cleaning lady passed away in the little wooden frame house where she had lived and worked most of her life．It mav seem like an ordinary end to a humble life，but there was something quite exceptional about this woman．
　　In the summer of 1995，McCarty gave$1 50，000，most of the money she had saved throughout her life，to the University of Southern Mississippi in her hometown．The money was to help other African Americans through university．She had started her savings habit as a young child when she would
　　return from school to clean and iron for money which she would then save．
　　She led a simple，frugal existence，never spending on anything but her most basic needs．Her bank also advised her on investing her hard—earned savings．
　　When she retired，she decided that she wanted to use the money to give children of limited means the opportunity to go to university．She had wanted to become a nurse，but had to leave school to look after ill relatives and work．When asked why she had given her life savings away，she replied，“I’m giving it away so that children won’t have to work so hard，like I did．”After news of her donation hit the media，over 600 donations were made to the scholarship fund．One was given by media executive，Ted Turner，who reputedly gave a billion dollars．She didn’t want any fuss made over her gift，but the news got out and she was invited all over the United States to talk to people．Wherever she went，people would come up to her to say a few words or to just touch her．She met the ordinary and the famous，President Clinton included．In the last few years of her life，before she died of cancer，McCarty was given over 300 awards：she was honoured by the United Nations and received the Presidential Citizen’s Medal．Despite having no real education，she found herself with two honorary doctorates：one from the University of Southern Mississippi and the other from Harvard University．Her generosity was clearly an inspiration to many and proof that true selflessness does exist．

　　第二篇From Ponzi to Madoff
　　The year was 1920．The country was the United States of America．The man’s name was Charles Ponzi．Ponzi told people to stop depositing money in a savings account．Instead，they should give it to him to save for them．Ponzi promised to pay them more than the bank．For example，a savings account might pay you$5 a year for every$1 00 you deposit．Ponzi，however，would pay you $40 a year for every $1 00 you gave him to hold．Many people thought this was a good plan．They began to give their money to Ponzi．
　　How could Ponzi make so much money for people? This is what he did with the money people gave him：He used some of that money to pay other people who gave him money．However，he also kept a lot of the money for himself．Soon he had $250 million．This was a kind of theft，and it was against the law．The people who gave him their money didn’t think anything was wrong．Ponzi paid them every month，just like a bank．Ponzi continued this way of working for two years．Then one day，
　　he didn’t have enough money to pay all the people．They discovered his crime，and he went to prison for froud．
　　Ninety years later，people began to hear about a businessman in New York named Bernard Mad off．People said he gave good advice about money．They said when they gave him their money，he paid them a lot more than the bank．Mad off helped hospitals，schools，and individuals earn money．Over a period of 40 years，people gave him$1 70 billion．However，no one investigated what he did with the
　　money．The people who gave Mad off their money also didn’t think anything was wrong because he paid them every month．
　　One day，Mad off didn’t have enough money to pay all the people he needed to pay．That’s when people discovered how Madoff worked：He was taking money from some people to pay other people， just the way Charles Ponzi did．However，this time，instead of losing millions of dollars，people lost billions．
　　Madoff was accused of fraud，and United States government officials arrested him．He didn’t have to go on trial because he said he was guilty．In 2023，a judge sentenced him to 150 years in prison．Bernard Madoff’s crime was even bigger than Ponzi’s．It was the biggest fraud in history．The lesson of this story is clear：When something seems too good to be true，it probably is !
　　36．For every$100 Ponzi promises to pay people__________．
　　A．$5 a year
　　B．$40 a year
　　C．$20 a year

　　第三篇 Gross National Happiness
　　In the last century，new technology improved the lives of many people in many countries．However，one country resisted these changes．High in the Himalayan mountains of Asia，the kingdom of Bhutan remained separate．Its people and Buddhist(佛教)culture had not been affected for almost a thousand years．Bhutan，however，was a poor country．People died at a young age．Most of its people could not read，and they did not know much about the outside world．Then，in 1972，a Dew ruier named King Jigme Singye Wangchuck decided to help Bhutan to become modern，but without losing its traditions King Wangchuck looked at other countries for ideas．He saw that most countries measured tnmrprogress by their Gross National Product(GNP)．The GNP measures products and money．When the number of Droducts sold increases people say the country is making progress．King Wangchuck had a different idea for Bhutan．He wanted to measure his country’s progress by people’s happiness．If the people’s happiness increased，the king could say that Bhutan was making progress．To decide if people were happier，he created a measure called Gross National Happiness(GN H)．
　　GN H is based on certain principles that create happiness．People are
