Since 1928 they have supplied shoes for Olympic athletes, World Cup-winning football heroes, Muhammad Ali,

7、 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

8、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 1st July 1924 they formed a shoe company, Dassler Bro

9、thers 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 mon

10、ey 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

11、called 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 have now been in competition for over sixty years. Both companies were for many years the market l

12、eaders, though Adidas has always been more successful than Puma. A hip hop group, Run DMC, has even written a song called “My Adidas“ and in 2005 Adidas bought Reebok, another big sports shoe company.

19、 Jane, “.champagne, chocolates, five-star hotels.“ 4. But it wasn“t all so easy. For Denise, the worst part was waiting at the beginning. “After I“d sent in my application form I worried for a month. Then I had to wait ten days after my first audition (试唱). That was awful.“ Even when they won the co

20、mpetition they were allowed to tell their close family but they weren“t allowed to tell anyone else until later. Denise and Jane also found the travelling difficult. They couldn“t take their children with them while they were away singing, so they had to organize childcare. However, there“s been no

21、problem with the physical side of singing. “We didn“t have to worry about that as we“ve had not lost of help and wonderful voice training.“ says Jane.

25、 sailing trips with her aunt. She loved it so much that she saved her money for three years to buy her first small sailing boat. When she was 18, she sailed alone around Britain and won the “Young Sailor of the Year“ award. But Ellen really became famous in 2001. Aged only 24, she was one of only tw

26、o women who entered the Vendee Globe round the world solo race, which lasts 100 days. Despite many problems, she came second in the race out of 24 competitors and she was given a very warm welcome when she returned. Ambition and determination have always been a big part of Ellen“s personality. When

27、she was younger, she lived in a kind of hut (棚屋) for three years while she was trying to get sponsorship to compete in a transatlantic race. Then she took a one-way ticked to France, bought a tiny seven meter Class Mini yacht, slept under it while she was repairing it, and then she raced it 4,000 ki

28、lometers across the Atlantic in 1997, alone for 33 days.

30、winds blowing around her. It took her many hours to make the repairs. Ellen says: “I was exhausted when I came down. It“s hard to describe how it feels to be up there. It“s like trying to hold onto a big pole, which for me is just too big to get my arms around, with someone kicking you all the time

31、and trying to shake you off.“ But in her diary, Ellen also describes moments which make it all worthwhile (值得的): “A beautiful sunrise started the day, with black clouds slowly lit by the bright yellow sun. I have a very strong feeling of pleasure, being out here on the ocean and having the chance to

32、 live this. I just feel lucky to be here.“（分数：15.00）(1).In the Vendee Globe race, Ellen won _.（分数：3.00）A.a gold medalB.the “Best Woman Sailor“ awardC.the “Young Sailor of the Year“ awardD.the second place(2).Ellen lived in a kind of hut for three years _.（分数：3.00）A.while she was learning how to repa

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 t

36、o 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 $100 you deposit. Ponzi, however, would pay you $40 a year for every $100 you gave him to hold. Many people thought this was a good plan. They began to give their money to

37、 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 t

38、he 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 fraud.

39、Ninety years later, people began to hear about a businessman in New York named Bernard Madoff. 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. Madoff helped hospitals, schools, and individuals earn money. Over a period of

40、40 years, people gave him $170 billion. However, no one investigated what he did with the money. The people who gave Madoff their money also didn“t think anything was wrong because he paid them every month. One day, Madoff didn“t have enough money to pay all the people he needed to pay. That“s when

41、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

42、have to go on trial because he said he was guilty. In 2009, 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!（分数：15.00）(1

46、re CreativeMost people believe they don“t have much imagination. They are wrong. Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to access it. Creativity isn“t always connected with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time routinely think of crea

47、tive ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to help you. This technique involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find links between them. First, think about the problem you have to sol

48、ve or the job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the ideas/words associated with candies: light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the ideas to the job you have to do. So imag

49、ine you want to buy a friend an original present; you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the night. Imagine that normal limitations don“t exist. You have as much time/space/money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new possibilities. If, for example, your goal is to learn to ski, you can now practice skiing every day of your lift (because you have the time and the money). Now adapt this to reality. Maybe you can practice skiing every day in December, or every Monday in January. Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good negotia
