As we rolled five-year-old Mary into the MRI(核磁共振成像) room, we all wondered how Mary would react. She had suffered a stroke that left half of her body paralyzed(瘫痪), 36 had recently lost her father, mother and home.

She was pushed into the MRI machine without the slightest protest(反抗), and we began the 37 . The patient was required to remain perfectly 38 for about five minutes. This would have been 39 for a five-year-old child. We were taking a picture of her 40 , so any movement of her face, including talking, would 41

picture distortion(扭曲).

We noticed that Mary’s 42 was moving about two minutes later. We 43 the exam and gently reminded Mary not to talk. She was smiling and promised not to　 　44 .

We reset the machine and started over. Once again we 45 her facial movement. What she was 46 wasn’t clear. Everyone was becoming a little 47 .

The doctor said, “Mary, you were talking again, and that caused unclear 48 .

Mary smiled, “I wasn’t talking. I was 49 . You said no talking.”

“What were you singing?” someone asked.

“The World Loves me,” she replied. “I always sing this song when I’m 50 .”

Everyone in the room was 51 . How could this little girl who had 52 so much be so happy?

Many times since that day, when feeling stressed, unhappy or dissatisfied with 53 , I would think of Mary and feel inspired. Her 54 made me see that happiness is a wonderful gift-----free to anyone who will 55 it.

Just five one-hundredths of an inch thick, light golden in colour and with a perfect “saddle curl”( 马鞍状卷曲 ), the Lay’s potato chip seems an unlikely weapon for global domination. But its maker, Frito-Lay, thinks otherwise. “Potato chips are a snack food for the world,” said Salman Amin, the company’s head of global marketing. Amin believes there is no corner of the world that can resist the charms of a Frito-Lay potato chip.

Frito-Lay is the biggest snack maker in America owned by PepsiCo, and accounts for over half of the parent company’s $3 billion annual profits. But the U.S. snack food market is largely saturated( 市场基本饱和 ), and to grow, the company has to look overseas.

Its strategy rests on two beliefs: First, a global product offers economies of scale with which local brands cannot compete. And second, consumers in the 21st century are drawn to “global” as a concept. “Global” does not mean products that are consciously identified as American, but ones that consumers--- especially young people--- see as part of a modern, innovative( 创新的 ) world in which people are linked across cultures by shared beliefs and tastes. Potato chips are an American invention, but most Chinese, for instance, do not know that Frito-Lay is an American company. Instead, Riskey, the company’s research and development head, would hope they associate the brand with the new world of global communications and business.

With brand perception a crucial factor, Riskey ordered a redesign of the Frito-Lay logo. The logo, along with the company’s long-held marketing image of the “irresistibility” of its chips, would help facilitate the company’s global expansion.

The executives ( 行政主管 )acknowledge that they try to swing national eating habits to a food created in America, but they deny that amounts to economic imperialism(帝国主义). Rather, they see Frito-Lay as spreading the benefits of free enterprise across the world. “We are making products in those countries, we’re adapting them to the taste of those countries, building businesses and employing people and changing lives,” said Steve Reinemund, PepsiCo’s chief executive. 

72. It is the belief of Frito-Lay’s head of global marketing that _____.

A. People over the world enjoy eating their company’s potato chips

B. Their company must find new ways to promote domestic sales

C. The light golden color enhances the charm of their company’s potato chips

D. Potato chips can hardly be used as a weapon to dominate the world market

73. One of the assumptions on which Frito-Lay bases its development strategy is that _______.

A. products identified as American will have promising market value

B. local brands cannot compete successfully with American brands

C. products suiting Chinese consumers’ needs bring more profits

D. consumers worldwide today are attracted by global brands

74. Why did Riskey have the Frito-Lay logo redesigned? ______

A. To suit changing tastes of young consumers.

B. To change the company’s long-held marketing image.

C. To promote the company’s strategy of globalization.

D. To compete with other American chip producers.

75. Frito-Lay’s executives claim that the promoting of American food in the international market ______.

A. won’t affect the eating habits of the local people

B. will be in the interest of the local people

C. will lead to economic imperialism

D. won’t spoil the taste of their chips　

College is a big deal for American students as well as for Chinese students．During the colle_36_, some parents become extremely worried．This may only _37_ the pressure．

Before I applied to the college, I told my parents I would get everything _38_ out．If I needed any help, I promised that I would ask them．

As it _39_ out, I had no problem putting everything together on my _40_, including my resume （履历） and a basic outline of my activities in high school．The _41_ part where I asked for my parents' advice was the essays．In writing and revising the essays, I needed feedback（反馈） from a（n） _42_．As my parents know me better than _43_ else, they were perfect for the job．

The essays are extremely important in college admissions．In a competitive pool of applicant; the test scores and activities, as well as the recommendations are all going to be very __44_．The essays are the one area in which students can make themselves stand _45_．Essays don't have to be big and complicated．I wrote three essays, all _46_ on small matters and using simple sentences.

The admission officers have to read hundreds of essays a day; they are already _47_ of SAT vocabularies and long sentences．_48_, a straightforward writing style is refreshing．to their eyes as well as their minds．Essays were the key to my success in the admission game．I just wrote about what I wanted to say, not ．what I thought the admission officers _49_ to hear．

In my main narrative-style _50_, I told the story of my American journey at the age of 14 During that time, I was not bogged down（陷入） by trying to fit into a new _51_; instead, I looked up to Mother Teresa for guidance and strength．I found my new _52_ and grew to love the name Teresa and the memories it held．

In my two minor essays, I _53_ the major events of my life, why I loved writing and why my dad is the person who has the greatest influence on me．Both provided details of my character．The essay about writing, which is titled, "I Shall Not Live in Vain" （_54_ by an Emily Dickinson poem）,

earned a lot of praise．

　　　 It is _55_ I really looked into my heart and thought deeply in order to reach my answers．
