I love my house because it is in a very good place just outside of the city. It is very quiet here. The houses here are all big and beautiful.There are no houses on the left or behind my house. To the right of my house is a big bungalow. There is a small park across the street. When I want to walk or relax, I usually go there.I am happy with my neighborhood except for one thing: There is no hospital near my house. That sometimes causes problems for the people living here. I think there should be a hospital in my neighborhood. Two days ago, one of my neighbors had a high fever and we had to travel 30 kilometers to the nearest hospital.I like to meet new people and make friends with them.

All you have to do is think of the names for some of the products you buy every day and youll agree that the name and the product are connected in everyones mind.In many countries, successful trade or brand(商标) names are protected by law so that other companies cannot make the same product by copying. Businesses register(注册) a company or a product name with the government. In fact, more than 1,000 product and company names are registered every hour. Many companies spend a lot of money to find the right name for their products. A good example of this is in the car industry. Some successful names for cars have powerful associations(联系). The Ford Mustang and the Jaguar are only two examples of choosing the names of animals that are fast and strong.When a U. S company decides to sell its product in another country, it has to make sure that the product name translates(翻译) properly. When Coca-Cola introduced its soft drink to China, it looked for the right name. It wanted a name that would do two things. One was to present its image in Chinese and the second was to be close to its first brand nameCoke. It took some efforts before finding the right word which sounds similar and translates as “happiness in the mouth”. Asian company names are not new to the United States. The brand names of Samsung and Sony have been successful. Finding the right brand name is a big business. Asian companies that sell to foreign markets pay to find a name that will connect with its customers. There are even naming companies that offer help in inventing product names. These companies can charge up to $100,000 a word for their good names. But its worth it. Successful companies know how important the right brand names are for their development.（1）Why are trade names protected by law in many countries?A . To make companies pay for naming serviceB . To help people choose the best products.C . To present good images of the productsD . To prevent good images from being copied.（2）What can we learn from the passage?A . Many companies care about the cost of finding the right names.B . Creative trade names can help companies to have a larger sale.C . The government often does business with naming companies.（3）Whats the best title for the passage?A . The Importance of Right Brand NamesB . The Development of NamesC . The Rules of NamingD . The Methods of Choosing Names25. （8分） As a music teacher for twenty-seven years I have always known that music touches the soul. It can break through all kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special way. It can be the means for each child to find their light.A few years ago I was blessed with the opportunity to teach pre-school students one afternoon a week. One of my most memorable students was Vanessa. She was five years old, had difficulty walking and could not speak. We mostly sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to sit on my lap. One of her favorite songs was John the Rabbit. It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students clapped two times while singing the repeating phrase “Oh yes!” Vanessa liked to put her hands together with mine and clap with me. We performed that song during every class Vanessa and I clapped together. She never said or sang a word.One day late in the school year when the song was finished Vanessa turned around, looked at me in the eye, clapped her tiny hands two times and said the words “Oh yes!” I opened my mouth and could not speak. Through music we had made a connection.Several years later I came across Vanessa on the street in town. I stopped my car and waved to say hello. She waved back with a big smile on her face and then clapped her hands two times mimicking the song we had performed in our music class. This precious little girl through her connection with music left an impression on me that will last forever.Every child has the ability to learn and grow. It is up to us educators to discover the way to reach each and every one of our students. We all must find each childs light.（1）The author thinks music_.A . can make children calm downB . can connect heart to heartC . is difficult for pre-school studentsD . is a good means to find a job（2）According to the second paragraph Vanessa_.A . got used to singing songsB . was too shy to speakC . was the youngest in the classD . enjoyed the authors class（3）When Vanessa spoke the words “Oh yes!” the author felt_.A . surprisedB . happyC . frightenedD . satisfied（4）What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A .
