课时提能练(五).阅读理解A(2019贵阳适应性考试)When the weathers hot，do you enjoy a glass of Brads Drink while watching your TV made by Tokyo Telecommunications Engineering，and surfing the web using a search engine called BackRub？No？Neither do IThats because all these companies have changed their names.Brads Drink is now Pepsi.The mouthful that was Tokyo Telecommunications Engineering has become，simply，Sony.And BackRub is now known as Google.Though I must admit，the idea of a back massage does sound good right now!Joking aside，choosing the right name for your startup is a serious matter.Think of the case of a small Canadian company called Research In Motion，who in 1998 had just developed a hightech mobile phone that could send emails.They were torn between names like MegaMail and ProMail.Then they sought the help of consulting firm Lexicon，who specialize in brand names.They had other ideas.They brainstormed words connected to enjoyment and freshness.Someone said“strawberry”Then someone else suggested“blackberry”Lexicons boss added two capital letters，and there you have it：BlackBerry was born.Since then it has sold over 33 million handsets to customers around the world.Would it have sold as well if it was called MegaMail？Who knows?Recently，BlackBerry sales have been overtaken by Android phones and Apples iPhone.Lexicons founder David Plaeek is a big fan of simple brand names like those Apple chooses：the iPhone.They took a household word and by putting one letter in front of it，it ends up being game changing.So，for all you entrepreneurs(企业家) out there，make sure you allow time to develop a catchy and memorable name.Think about what makes your company different.Whats your USP(独特卖点)？Maybe you can reflect that in your name.What about you？What would you call a company if you had one?【语篇解读】本文主要讨论了给公司或产品起名字的艺术。1Which of the following is the original name of BlackBerry?ABrads Drink.BTokyo Telecommunications Engineering.CBackRub.DMegaMail and ProMail.D细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“They were
