catchy.the most famous companies have highly popular logos that can be recognized by almost everybody.for those of you who have seen the movie finding forrester，there is that scene where jamal walks up to some guy with a bmw and asks him what the car logo means.the man did not know the answer and since that day，whenever i saw a famous company logo i tried to find the meaning of it.many think the horse on the ferrari logo represents the horsepower of the cars they manufacture. the story behind it is far more interesting.during world war a pilot，count francesco barraca，painted the horse on his airplane to bring him luck.he had it on his plane because it was the logo of his squadron (空军中队)barracas mother then convinced enzo ferrari to put the logo on his racing cars in the early 1930s to bring good luck to the drivers.the logo then stayed the same ever since. the yellow on the background represents the birthplace of enzo ferrari.starbucks started in 1971，in seattle.the mermaid (美人鱼) represented on the logo is now known by any coffee drinker.it is a mythological sea creature with the look of a female，the only difference being that they have a tail of a fish.the reason why starbucks incorporated one in their company logo is that it was believed mermaids used to sing to sailors in order to make them walk away from their ship or to ground their ships.in the 1500s，spices，tea and coffee were popular merchandise to trade.so the mermaid in the logo of starbucks is the one that “brings” coffee and tea to the stores.语篇解读本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了法拉利与星巴克标识的由来。1the writer

think about what intelligence is，many people believe that a person is born smart，average，or dumband stays that way in the whole life.but new research shows that the brain is more like a muscleit changes and gets stronger when you use it.and scientists have been able to show just how the brain grows and gets stronger when you learn.everyone knows that when you lift weights，your muscles get bigger and you get stronger.a person who cant lift 20 pounds when he/she starts exercising can get strong enough to lift 100 pounds after working out for a long time.thats because the muscles become larger and stronger with exercise.and when you stop exercising，the muscles shrink and you get weaker.thats why people say “use it or lose it！” but most people dont know that when they practice and learn new things，parts of their brain change and get larger a lot like muscles do when they exercise.inside the cortex (皮层) of the brain are billions of tiny nerve cells，called neurons.the nerve cells have branches connecting them to other cells in a complicated network.communication between these brain cells is what allows us to think and solve problems.when you learn new things，these tiny connections in the brain actually multiply and get stronger.the more you challenge your mind to learn，the more your brain cells grow.then，things that you once found very hard or even impossible to dolike speaking a foreign language or doing algebra (代数)seem to become easy after learning them for a period of time.the result is a stronger，smarter brain.scientists started thinking that the human brain could develop and change when they studied animals brains.they found out that animals that lived in a challenging environment were more “perspicacious”they were better at solving problems and learning new things.语篇解读科学研究发现，经常学习能促进大脑的发育，正如经常锻炼能使肌肉更强健一样。9according to the first paragraph，_.athe function of our brain is like that of the musclebuntil now its impossible to explain the brains
