They convey accurate information ‎ to us. However, some of these origins are very interesting.‎ Google The world’s largest search engine has developed a brand. Its founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin knew their company’s potential when they were freshmen at Stanford. The original plan was to name it “googol”, which meant “a huge number”, but Larry Page misspelled it as “Google”. Both the site and the company registered “Google”. However, this error distinguishes “Google” from other search engines.‎ McDonald’s The original name came from the last name of the inventors: Maurice “Mac” and Richard “Dick” McDonald. Before 1940, they owned and operated a successful restaurant, but once World War II was over, they decided to try a new system to reduce the time people spent waiting for their food. So the first McDonald’s opened in 1948. Over time, their simple and bright colors have made it one of the most recognizable symbols on the earth.‎ Rolex Hans Wilsdorf, founder of the Rolex brand, says he wants a short watch name to pronounce easily. After combining all the letters and coming up with 100 possible names, none of them fit the bill. But a trip on a horse-drawn ride changed the fate of his company, because a “genius”, as he called it, whispered the word “Rolex” into his ear.‎ IKEA Founded in 1943, IKEA went from selling all kinds of objects to becoming the benchmark of Swedish creativity worldwide with its furniture and facilitates packaging. The word IKEA is a combination of the first letters of founder’s first name and last name: Ingvar Kamprad, the farm where he grew up: Elmtaryd, and the town in southern Sweden where it was located: Agunnaryd.‎ ‎21.What contributed to the brand “Google”?‎ A.The company’s plan. B.Larry Page’s mistake.‎ C.The company’s potential. D.Sergey Brin’s creation.‎ ‎22.What was the original intention of McDonald’s?‎ A.To earn more money.‎ B.To create simple and bright colors.‎ C.To offer convenience for customers.‎ D.To expand the business to the world.‎ ‎23. Which brand has something to do with the founder’s hometown?‎ A.Google. B.McDonald’s. C.Rolex. D.IKEA.‎ B When I was six, I was so desperate to be out in nature. I’d be transported through David’s documentaries (纪录片) to all these amazing places. I did a PhD studying ants and butterflies, before getting a call from the BBC asking about my work for a show called Life in the Undergrowth. I was so excited and immediately begged, “Please let me help!” ‎ Sir David himself came to film with me, so I got to meet him early on, and he is the loveliest person. Something was wrong with the car. He dived straight under it to try to fix it. His enthusiasm and passion was so real. The first trip I did with him was to Israel as an assistant producer, then in Madagascar. My dream came true.‎ Usually, we spend six weeks filming for about three minutes of TV. What usually happens is that we’re going to film one thing but the animal ends up doing something else. We stay in whatever basic accommodation is the closest, because we can’t waste time on the way. So it’s rare that we stay in a hotel. Patience is the key, then learning and listening.‎ Of course you encounter animals that could hurt you. There was a moment on Planet Earth where a wolf approached me and we had to push it off with a camera. During filming for Seven Worlds we came across a beautiful but deadly snake, which casually came into our room. I took it up in a hat and put it back into the jungle. I still remember the chimps in Senegal jumped on a tree next to me and pushed it to the ground. He was like saying, “You can stay here, but if I wanted to crash you, I could.”‎ When we film certain animals, like lions for example, we must be vigilant. We know they will attack other creatures for their territories, but there’s something fascinating in the small creatures. I’ve always cared about these beautiful lives and the planet. I desperately want to preserve the creatures in the natural world.‎ ‎24.Why did the author agree to work for BBC?‎ A.He could work with David. ‎ B.He would travel abroad.‎ C.He could study more animals.‎ D.He would become famous.‎ ‎25.Which of the following is the most important for the author’s job according to the text?‎ A.Enthusiasm. B.Listening. C.Patience. D.Observation.‎ ‎26.What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?‎ A.Clever avoidance keeps animals away.‎ B.Filming in nature has potential danger.‎ C.The author prefers strange experiences.‎ D.Violent behaviors are common in the wild.‎ ‎27.What does the underlined word “vigilant” in the last paragraph mean?‎ A.Cautious. B.Strict. C.Energetic. D.Powerful. ‎ C No video games are allowed after 10 pm. It is not allowed to play games for more than 90 minutes on non-holidays. No more than 400 yuan per month is allowed to buy virtual weapons and costumes.‎ The Chinese government has issued new regulations aimed at controlling teenager’s addiction to video games. Some officials believe that this problem is the reason why more and more young people are suffering from myopia (近视) and poor learning. The rules forbid users under the age of 18 from playing between 10 pm and 8 am. The rules demand that they shouldn’t play more than 90 minutes on non-holidays and more than 3 hours on weekends and other holidays.‎ Officials have taken stronger measures to monitor large technology companies and promote them to help spread the advocated cultural values. The official media regarded some games as “poisons” and banned some violent games. In addition, minors (未成年人) must use real names and ID numbers when they log into the game. These regulations also limit the amount of money that teenagers can use to purchase virtual items such as weapons, clothing, and pets through the app. ‎ Analysts said that these regulations have been largely predicted by the industry and are unlikely to affect its earnings. However, young gamers may also find ways to bypass (绕开) the rules, such as using the parent’s phone number and ID number. “There will always be something imperfect,” said Daniel Ahmad, senior analyst at Niko Partners. However, he added that thanks ‎ to the regulations, China is now one of the most regulated video game markets in the world. ‎ Yang Bingben is the owner of an industrial technology company. He noticed that his son often plays games that don’t require networking and is difficult to control. “We have something new to replace the games,” he said, “our thinking should be to build more stadiums, such as football stadiums and basketball courts.”‎ ‎28.The new regulations will help Chinese teenagers with their　　　　. ‎ A.intelligence B.personalities C.study and eyesight D.constitutions and morals ‎29. What did Daniel Ahmad think of the regulations?‎ A.They are adjustable. B.They are effective.‎ C.They are creative. D.They are worthless.‎ ‎30.What can be inferred from Yang Bingben’s words? ‎ A.Teenagers are spending more time in the stadiums.‎ B.Football and basketball will be popular with teenagers.‎ C.Getting rid of the addiction to video games is impossible.‎ D.Doing sports helps prevent teenagers playing video games.‎ ‎31.In which section of a newspaper can you read the text?‎ A.Literature. B.Education. C.Fashion. D.Sport.‎ D Put “crottin de chèvre” into Google Translate, and you
