Coca Cola’s secret is saved!
Three people have been arrested for trying to sell Coca-Cola company secrets to PepsiCo, according to the US Department of Justice.
Two men of Georgia and one man of New York City have joined in the trick to sell the Coke secrets to opponent Pepsi for $1.5 million. In May, PepsiCo told Coca-Cola that it had received a letter from a person calling himself "Dirk" offering "very detailed and secret information" about Coke’s products for a fee, according to the DOJ press release.
The FBI got its secret men to look into the case, and over the course of the next month gave the men envelopes with money in exchange for Coke secrets. Ibrahim Dimson of New York and Edmund Duhaney and Joya Williams of Georgia were arrested in Atlanta on Wednesday without incident, and charged with unlawfully stealing and selling trade secrets. Williams was a Coca-Cola employee.
"Sadly, today’s arrests include a person within our company," said Coke CEO Neville Isdell in an email to employees. "While this failure of trust is difficult for all of us to accept, it stresses the responsibility we each have to watch out in protecting our trade secrets." "Information is the lifeblood(生命线) of the company," Isdell continued. "As the health of our enterprise(事业) continues to strengthen, our ideas and our competitive data carry increasing interest to those outside our business."
A PepsiCo spokesman said that the company was pleased to be of help in the investigation(调查). "We did what any responsible company would do," said the spokesman. "Competition can be fierce, but it must also be fair and legal."
1.What do the words “a person” refer to in the fourth paragraph?
A. Ibrahim Dimson B. Edmund Duhaney
C. Joya Williams D. Neville Isdell
2.What is the lesson of three men’s trying to sell Coca Cola’s company secrets?
A. The Coca-Cola company should strengthen the responsibility to protect trade secrets.
B. The Coca-Cola company shouldn’t employ any new employees.
C. The Coca-Cola company should fire some employees.
D. The Coca-Cola company should give the employees a rise.
3.What is the most expensive possession for a company?
A. Information B. Equipment C. Products D. Fame
4.The relationship between PepsiCo and Coca-Cola is ___________.

“An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Similarly, if we drink a little more water ever day, we may find that we need to go to the doctor a lot less often. A healthy diet is made up of water and a great many different kinds of foods. We know that healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and fish, are important as they provide us with energy and fibre, without giving us too much fat and sugar. But why is water important?
The human body needs water to survive. Water is important as it carries poisons and waste out of our bodies. However, doctors advise us to drink plenty of water, much more than the small amount we need to stay alive.
Some doctors believe that water is important for our health in all kinds of ways. They believe that a great many illnesses and health problems stars as a result of dehydration—a lack(缺少) of water in the body. Most people are dehydrated at least some of time, although they probably don’t know it. It is surprising to learn that if we feel thirsty, we are already in the first stages of dehydration. In fact, we are advised to drink water before we feel thirsty.
These doctors think that health problems such as headaches, high blood pressure and asthma could be helped if people drink more water. They also believe that drinking more water can help people who are overweight. Water contains no calories so it will not make us put on weight. If we drink water, we will probably drink less sugary soft drinks such as Coca-cola. Doctors also believe that drinking more water may stop people from overeating. They say that many people think that they are hungry when they are, in fact, thirsty. Doctors suggest, therefore, that we eat less food and drink more water.
There are still many health problems that cannot be solved by drinking water, so we should not stop going to seeing the doctor completely. However, if we make a decision to drink water every day, we may find that we need to go to the doctor a lot less often.
【小题1】We need _____for a healthy diet.
| A．fibre | B．food | C．water | D．Water and different foods |

76 Spanish people drink coca cola, wear blue jeans, watch Hollywood movies, listen to American music, and eat fast food, and they do all these things daily.
I think that Aerican movies are a good way to spread American culture because people are often influenced by what they see in the movies. Most of the entertainment programs and documentaries we watch on TV are from America, and most of the movies we go to are made in Hollywood.
77 Now, in our cinemas, at least twenty percent of the movies which are shown must be from Spain or from country of the European Community.
American culture is very much a part of Spanish life. It's certain that many things from America are as much a part of their lives as Spanish things. For example, coca cola is as familiar to everybody as any typical Spanish product. 78
However, it’s different with western fast food. For example, I don’t think McDonald’s is as successful in Spain as it is in other countries. In my opinion, one of the reasons may be the life style of the Spanish people 79
On the other hand, it may be that McDonald’s hamburgers will eventually replace the famous Spanish tapas. It’s true that in every city in Spain you can find a McDonald’s, and they are more popular among the Spanish children than among the adults. 80
| A．In any case, it’s obvious that American culture is more and more a part of our lives every day. |
B．The Spanish peopl e usually go out to eat. |
| C．I’ve known coca cola my whole life. |
| D． The spanish people normally eat at home |

When 7-year-old Warren Buffett said, “I will be the richest man one day,” his friends made fun of his “daydreaming”. But ever since then the little boy has set about learning how to make money by selling drinks, delivering newspaper and buying stocks. The American had already earned $9,000 (equal to $90,000 today) by the time he graduated from the high school.
And this month the 78-year-old, who earned his fortune by making a lot of sound investment in the stock market, took the place of Microsoft founder, Bill Gates, as the world’s richest man. Gates’ worth declined $1.5 billion to $55.5 billion in 33 days after the recent financial storm, according to Forbes Magazine.
Buffett, the only son of a stockbroker, was ready to think outside the box to develop his business from a very early age. At 8, he went to golf courses collecting and selling the used balls. At 11 when he sold soda pop door-to-door with a friend, the pair collected lids on streets to judge which flavor was the most popular.
As a paper boy during high school, Buffett delivered two competitor papers, so that even when customers canceled one of the subscriptions (订阅) , he could still make a profit from the other. With his paper delivery savings, Buffett bought 162,000 square meters of farmland and collected rent. Young Buffett stepped into the stock market at 11 but earned only $5. The experience taught him one of the virtues（优点）in investing patience.
After graduating from university, Buffett started his venture with stocks with his childhood earnings and money from friends. He researched the stocks and just bought those of solid companies that were undervalued and inexpensive at the time. By sticking to companies such as American Express and Coca-Cola, Buffett has become rich.
“Learning is important to Buffett’s success. He is a learning machine who can spend his entire day reading. He keeps learning from books, street smarts and investigation, from both success and failure. In this way, he over achieved his aptitude (能力),” said Charlie Munger, his longtime business partner.
1.The passage is mainly about_____.
A．why Buffett took the place of Bill Gates as the world’s richest man
B．what effect Buffett’s childhood experiences have on his success

2.How did Buffett behave at the stock market?
A．He will buy the stock whose price is lower than its value.
B．He often prefers some inexpensive stocks.
C．He always borrows money from his friends to buy stocks.
D．He will sell the stock if its price doesn’t go up.
3.Which is the main factor that determines Buffett’s success?
A．His desire to learn.
B．His family background.
C．His education.
D．His cooperation with his partner.
4.What can we infer from the passage?

C．His father helped him a lot in his business.
D．Buffett has a good sense of business.
