Stubbornness(固执,执着) can push a business to hold on but can also kill your business if it keeps stopping you.

Because I’m stubborn. I chased my dream of creating a pet-food company that sells what it claims to sell and not some unidentifiable substance in a dressed-up bag. Originally we packed our foods in transparent bags, which became our guiding philosophy.

To start the company in 2003, I visited every pet-food store in Manhattan and some outside the city. By 2006 Stella&Chewy’s was sold in 250 stores, mostly in New York City. In 2007 I moved the company to Wisconsin, with our earnings reaching almost $500,000 that year.But getting my product into stores was just the beginning. We were competing against much bigger pet-food companies whose monthly marketing budgets were more than our yearly sales. So we invested in advertisements and a website and even stood on sidewalks giving our samples.

With more customers came more feedback (反馈意见), much of which I ignored, I was also receiving complaints about ice crystals (冰晶) on the food, which form when the air temperature changes during transport. For this reason, most frozen foods are packaged in opaque (不透明的) bags or boxes. Studies have proved that ice crystals have little effect on either the quality or the taste of the food. So I ignored the complaints. After all, we were better than our competitors that wouldn’t even show their products. We didn’t hide anything.

In 2007 our sales kept growing, but not as fast as those of our competitors. We were told that new consumers were choosing products packaged in opaque bags. When I visited the stores and forced myself to consider my products objectively, I had to degree: The ice crystals reduced the look I wanted. The food looked as if a snowstorm had hit the inside of the bag.

We switched to opaque bags and tried to make ice crystals smaller. Customers responded: In 2009 Stella$Chewy’s was sold in 2,500 stores across the country.

1.At the beginning, the author’s company packaged their foods in transparent bags to ________.

A. make their foods seen clearly

B. make their foods look attractive

C. let customers know their guiding philosophy

D. show their foods are environmentally friendly

2.Why did the author have people stand on sidewalks giving out samples?

A. Because advertising and marketing on the website didn’t work.

B. Because no one knew his company’s products in Wisconsin.

C. Because he should use this way to save money due to the limited budget.

D. Because he attempted to use all means to compete with other companies.

3.According to the passage, ice crystals _________.

A. only appear on frozen food

B. may make pets feel uncomfortable

C. won’t form if the foods are transported well

D. almost don’t affect the quality of pet foods

4.The author’s experience mainly shows that ________.

A. stubborn people won’t simply give up

B. stubbornness can make people succeed or fail

C. the road leading to success is full of difficulties

D. meeting customers’ need is important to a company’s success

Research on embryonic stem cells (胚胎干细胞) is debatable because it requires the destruction of live human embryos.

Supporters find it easy to minimize the significance of this fact because the embryos are only a few days old—nothing more than “blastocysts (胚泡)”.

But if it’s OK to destroy 5-day-old embryos to further scientific inquiry, is it OK to destroy embryos that are five weeks old? Five months? Eight months? Science can’t answer that question.

You don’t have to be part of the pro-life group to have concerns about this kind of scientific research. James Thomson, the University of Wisconsin biologist has said, “If human embryonic stem cell research does not make you at least a little bit uncomfortable, you have not thought about it enough.” However, the president’s new order suggests we should not think too much.

Recently, supporters of embryonic stem cell research called on president to allow experiments using “surplus (多余的)” fifty frozen embryos in fertility clinics, arguing that they would be disposed of anyway. But Obama didn’t limit his new policy to these fertilized eggs.

On the contrary, he left open the possibility of funding studies using embryos created specifically so their cells can be harvested. He did, however, reject another option. “We will ensure,” he said, “that our government never open the door to the use of cloning for human reproduction. It is dangerous, profoundly wrong and has no place in our society, or any society.”

But this position is hard to square with his claimed approach. On one hand, the president says his policy is “about letting scientists do their jobs, free from pressure”. On the other, he will use pressure to keep them from doing reproductive cloning.

What this policy means is simple: It may be permissible for scientists to create cloned embryos and kill them. It’s not permissible to create cloned embryos and let them live. Their cells may be used for our benefit, but not for their own.

It’s the policy that is risky not just to days-old human embryos. The rest of us are sure to receive important medical benefits from this research one day. But we may lose something even more important in a moral sense.

1.It’s implied in the fourth paragraph that pro-life group ________.

A. support the research on embryonic stem cells

B. don’t agree with any kind of scientific research

C. agree with James Thomson’s opinion

D. rarely think of the consequences of embryonic stem cell research

2.The underlined phrase “square with” in the passage is closest in meaning to ________.

A. find a square tool forB. be in line with

C. quarrel withD. pay off

3.Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The author thinks there’s a big difference between a 5-day embryo and a 8-month embryo.

B. In Obama’s policy, embryonic researchers can only use surplus embryos in fertility clinics.

C. President Obama hasn’t expressed his attitude toward human reproductive cloning.

D. The research on embryonic stem cells may bring people medical benefits in the future.

4.The author thinks the policy is worrying because ______.

A. the research is against the law

B. we may suffer morally for the research

C. scientists are not really working without pressure

D. ban on human cloning is in the long run harmful to human development

The word “diary” comes from the Latin word “diarium”, which means “daily allowance”. 1. And it is used for business notes, planning activities, keeping track of scheduled appointments, or documenting what has already happened. Some doctors suggest that writing in a diary is a good form of self-study.

In America, from the 1940s through the 1980s, a diary was thought of mostly as a way to privately express one’s deepest thoughts while keeping notations about the day. 2. Many times, movies would show a teenage girl beginning to write in her diary while she said aloud, “Dear diary…”.

3. A diary kept by a young German Jewish girl by the name of Anne Frank provides us with invaluable lessons about history, for she documented her experiences while she hid from the Nazis during their occupation of the Netherlands in World War II. Her diary became one of the world’s most widely read books and is the basis for many films.

a.

Samuel Pepys, who lived during the 17th century, is the earliest diary keeper that is famous today. His diary is also an important documentation of history, for it gives personal insight(洞察力) into London’s Great Plague and the Great Fire. His diary is being published on the Internet, and it’s interesting to note that there has been a new entry every day since January of 2003. It will continue over the course of several years to come. 4.

Today’s electronic version of the diary, the web log or “blog” has once again stretched the diary to be much more than a personal account of the day’s events. There are blogs to document recipes, traveling, movies, independent news, product announcements, photos, and anything else that needs to be recorded over time. Search engines like Technorati.com have been created to keep track of the more than 112 million blogs that are currently public. 5.

A. It refers to a book for writings by date.

B. In its newest form, the diary has become more popular than ever.

C. Reading his diary is fascinating, and it makes his life all the more real to us.

D. People love to write diaries, so whenever they are free, they will write a few lines.

E. Those private reflections may have historical significance long after the author’s death.

F. Nowadays, the blog has taken the place of the diary and becomes more and more popular.

G. In those times, and even continuing on today, writing in a diary was like writing to a special friend.
