humans or more than cats or dogs? dolphins use their brains differently from people. but scientists say dolphin intelligence and human intelligence are similar in some ways. how?fact 1: talk to melike humans, every dolphin has its own “name”. the name is a special whistle. each dolphin chooses a specific whistle for itself, usually by its first birthday. actually, scientists think dolphins, like people, “talk” to each other about a lot of things, such as their age, their feelings, or finding food. and, like humans, dolphins use a system of sounds and body language to communicate. but understanding their conversations is not easy for humans. no one speaks “dolphin” yet, but some scientists are trying to learn.fact 2: lets playdolphins are also social animals. they live in groups, and they often join others from different groups to play games and have funjust like people. in fact, playing together is something only intelligent animals do.fact 3: fishermens helperdolphins and humans are similar in another way: both make plans to get something they want. in the seas of southern brazil, for example, dolphins use an interesting strategy to get food. when fish are near a boat, dolphins show signs to the fishermen to put their nets in the water. using this method, the men can catch a lot of fish. what is the advantage for the dolphins in doing so? they get to eat some of the fish.30. what does a dolphin often use as its “name”?a. a body language. b. a special whistle.c. its feeling. d. its age.31. why do dolphins join others from different groups?a. to learn to “talk”. b. to meet their families.c. to play games. d. to find food.32. how do dolphins help fishermen catch fish?a. by playing with other fish. b. by following fishing boats.c. by leading the fish into the net.d. by showing signs to the fishermen.33. what is the passage mainly about?a. dolphins are smarter than humans. b. dolphins make friends with humans.c. dolphins teach humans to speak “dolphin”.d. dolphins and humans are similar in some ways.c well-known companies are powered by their names and reputations. when people walk into a pizza hut in tokyo, rome, or miami, they know exactly what they are getting. through franchising, an investor (投资者) can make use of this brand power by opening a pizza hut of his or her own. the risk is low, and the rewards can be big. no wonder franchising is such a successful business model.franchising had been around for more than 100 years, but its popularity took off in the 1950s. leading the trend were fast food restaurant like mcdonalds. these days, there are franchises in more than eighty-five industries, including dry cleaning, hotels and supermarkets. its a very big business. in the us, there are some 760,000 franchises, totaling more than $1.5 trillion in yearly revenues (income).there are two sides in a franchise: the franchisorthe owner of the business system and the franchiseethe person who licenses the system. after signing a “franchise agreement”, the franchisee pays a fee. he or she also pays for equipment, supplies, and, if necessary, building costs. the total investment usually ranges from $10,000 to $1,000,000. after the business opens, the franchisee also pays a percentage of sales revenuescalled a royaltyto the franchisor. marking fees must also be paid.in return, the franchisee receives many benefits. training is among the most common ones. it includes everything from dealing with customers to understanding the companys standards. the franchisor also handles advertising. on top of that, theres the benefit of the brand reputation that the company has built up. all of these benefits make the risk of opening a franchise much smaller than that of starting a business from scratch.however, a franchise can also have drawbacks. if a customer at a single restaurant gets sick, it may hurt every franchise in the system. running a franchise also means closely following the companys standards. so, one has to give up a degree of independence. you have to do things their way and trust that the system will work.if you want to earn a lot of money from the business, you have to work hard. also, remember that the monthly royalty must be paid, even if you are losing money. however, there are thousands of opportunities in franchising. they will surely grow as brand recognition becomes more important in the global economy(经济学).34. what does the word “franchise” mean in the passage? a. a company policy for building up service reputation.b. a permission given by a company for selling its goods.c. an official association for improving business network.d. a system operated by an organization for lower marketing fee. 35. what is the most important factor to make a franchise successful?a. brand power. b. agreement. c. training. d. royalty.36. after signing a franchise agreement, a franchisee will _.a. pay for the advertisementb. get free necessary equipmentc. receive the monthly revenuesd. maintain the companys standards37. what does the author think of franchising?a. it will have a promising future.b. it will bring higher business risk.c. it will control the global economy.d. it will cause losses of brand recognition.第二节：根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。thanks to the seasonal change, half of my class went down with colds and flu. you can hear coughs and sneezes everywhere, and the
