My father bought me two goldfish and named them Iasc and Iasc Elie. He told me that meant Fish and Other Fish in Irish. To an eight-year-old child, the names seemed really boring. These boring names made me feel the goldfish were boring, too. They did nothing more than swim around in their bowl. Sometimes, for fun, they would swim to the bottom of their bowl and dance around along the bottom, looking for interesting pieces of gravel. I tried many ways to make the goldfish more exciting. The most interesting thing was to see how long they could live out of the water. I took a fish out of the water with my hands and watched it gasping for air. Then I put it back in the bowl. And then I would take them out of the water again, for longer and longer each time. Iasc and Iasc Elie started swimming towards the top of the water, not moving very much. Then they started floating on the top of the water. In other words, they were dead. I thought that bigger pets are more exciting, such as a cat and a dog. It would live longer than a goldfish, and then I kept a dog as my pet. （1）According to the passage, we know that the writer thought the goldfish were when he was young.

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 franchisethe 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 royalto 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. How
