Once there lived two brothers. The elder was called Simon and the younger was Victor. They ______ each other very much, and always took care of one another. Every day they worked from morning ______ night, getting as much grain(谷物) as possible from their fields.
One late autumn evening, after their work in the ______ was done, Simon said to his wife, “Victor got married last month. He has many bills to pay. I think I will put a bag of rice in his barn(谷仓).” “Oh, that’s a good idea,” said his wife. “But please don’t tell him,” said Simon, “If he knows I put the rice there, he will ______ take it.”
So, late that night Simon took a bag of rice to Victor’s barn. The next day, while looking at his own barn, he found ______ strange. “I took a bag of rice to Victor’s house last night, ______ I still have the same number of bags in my barn. _______ did that happen? ”
Simon decided to take another bag of rice to his brother’s barn that night. But the next morning, he found the ______ number of bags in his barn again! “ This is very strange,” he thought.
That night he ______ again. He carried a large bag of rice on his shoulder, and walked down the road to his younger brother’s house. In the bright moonlight, he could see another ________ coming down the road. He was carrying something on his ________ too.
“Younger Brother!” Simon cried, “What are you doing?”
“I was ________ you, Older Brother, ” said Victor. “Your family is ________ than mine. I thought you needed more rice.” The two brothers quickly ________ that they had been taking rice to each other. They _______ what had happened. “It is good to have a brother like you,” they both said. And they lived happily ever after.

The right name is important in the business world. All you have to do is to think of the names for some of the products you buy every day and you'll agree that the name and the product are connected in everyone's mind.
In many countries, successful trade or brand(商标)names are protected by law so that other companies cannot make the same product by copying. Businesses register(注册)a company or a product name with the government. In fact, more than 1,000 product and company names are registered every hour. Many companies spend a lot of money to find the right name for their products. A good example of this is in the car industry. Some successful names for cars have powerful associations(联系).The Ford Mustang and the Jaguar are only two examples of choosing the names of animals that are fast and strong.
When a U.S. company decides to sell its product in another country, it has to make sure that the product name translates properly. When Coca-Cola introduced its soft drink to China it looked for the right name. It wanted a name that would do two things. One was to present its image in Chinese and the second was to be close to its first brand name-Coke. It took some efforts before finding the right word-which sounds similar and translates as "happiness in the mouth". Asian company names are not new to the United States. The brand names of Samsung and Sony have been successful. Finding the right brand name is a big business. Asian companies that sell to foreign markets pay to find a name that will connect with its customers. There are even naming companies that offer help in inventing product names. These companies can charge(要价)up to $ 100,000 a word for their good names. But it's worth it. Successful companies know how important the right brand names are for their development.
1.How many brand names are mentioned(提及)in the article?
A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.
2.Trade names are protected by law in many countries .
A. to make companies pay for naming service
B. to help people choose the best products
C. to present good images of the products
D. to prevent products from being copied
3.What can we learn from the article?
A. Many companies care about the cost of finding the right names.
B. Creative trade names can help companies to have a larger sale.
C. The government often does business with naming companies.
D. It is considered necessary for cars to be named after animals.
4.What is the best title for the article?
