The man who invented Coca-Cola was not a native Atlanta, but on the day of his funeral every drugstore in town shut up the shop in honor of him. He was John Styth Pemberton, born in 1833 in Knoxville, Georgia, eighty miles away. Pemberton was a chemist, sometimes known as Doctor, who, during the Civil War, became an officer and led a cavalry troop. He settled in Atlanta in 1869, and soon began making such patent medicines as Triplex Liver Pills and Globe of Flower Cough Syrup.
In 1885, he registered a trademark for something called French Wine Coca-Ideal Nerve and Tonic Stimulant. A few months later, he formed the Pemberton Chemical Company, and hired an accountant named Frank M. Robinson, who had not only a good head for figures, but, attached to it, so unique a nose that he could judge the ingredients of a batch of syrup merely by sniffing it.
In 1886 --- a year in which, as contemporary Coca-Cola officials like to point out, the English writer Conan Doyle made Sherlock Holmes known publicly and France found the truth about the Statue of Liberty --- Pemberton invented a syrup that he called Coca-Cola. It was a change of his French Wine Coca. He had taken out the wine and added a bit of caffeine, and, when the end product tasted awful, had thrown in some cola nut oil and a few other oils, mixing the mixture in a three-legged iron pot in his back yard and swishing it around with an oar.
He distributed it to soda fountains in used beer bottles, and Robinson, with his elegant account’s script, instantly designed a label, on which "Coca-Cola" was written in the style which is still employed. Pemberton looked upon his mixture less as a drink than as a headache cure.
One morning in 1886, a man suffering from a headache dragged himself into an Atlanta drugstore and asked for a bottle of Coca-Cola. According to usual practice, druggists should pour a teaspoonful of syrup into a glass of water, but at that time, the man on duty was too lazy to walk to the fresh-water tap. Instead, he mixed the syrup with some soda water, which was closer at hand. After drinking it, the suffering customer cheered up almost at once, and word quickly spread that the best Coca-Cola was a fizzy (冒泡泡的)one.
According to the passage, which of the following about Pemberton is wrong?
A. He was highly respected by Atlantans because of his great contribution.
B. Medicines like Triplex Liver Pills and Globe of Flower Cough Syrup are his patent products.
C. During the Civil War, he was an officer of a cavalry troop, a chemist and a doctor.
D. Coca-Cola which is very popular now was invented by him.
Why do contemporary Coca-Cola officials especially like to mention the year 1886?
A. Because Conan Doyle contributed to Pemberton’s Coca-Cola invention.
B. Because France sent the Statue of Liberty to America and Pemberton loved it.
C. Because they are still proud of Pemberton’s invention.
D. Because Pemberton made more money for the company this year than in any other year.
What does the passage tell us about Frank M. Robinson?
A. He helped his boss and began making patent medicines together with his boss in 1869.
B. He had a special nose with an acute sense of smell and especially was good at drawing.
C. When he found the end product tasted awful, he threw in some cola nut oil and other oils.
D. He designed a label “Coca-Cola” for the Coca-Cola Company with his elegant handwriting.
How did Pemberton change French Wine Coca formula to make it taste delicious?
A. He mixed it with several oils instead of water.
B. He put some beer into the mixture.
C. He added more coffee into the mixture than before.
D. He added some cola nut oil and a few other oils.
According to the passage, what was Coca-Cola intended for at first?
A. It was intended for the children as a soft drink.
B. It was intended for a substitute for French Wine Coca
C. It was intended for a cure for the common headache
D. It was intended for the need of the war

I was reading these interesting stories behind a group of great logos in the world. Personally Nike is my favorite one – it’s so simple. And I liked the stories behind them, which made me forget all other things. McDonald’s, Apple, Mercedes Benz and Adidas own great logos as well, and they are among my favorites.
Nike
In the Greek myth, Nike is the goddess of victory and the source of inspiration for soldiers. This logo represents the wing in the famous statue of the Greek goddess. Nike’s logo was designed by Carolyn Davidson in 1971 for $ 35, and was registered as a trademark in 1995.
McDonald’s
The logo was designed in 1962 by Jim Schindler to resemble the archshaped(拱形的) signs on the side of the company’s then walk-up hamburger stand. Later on, the two golden arches were combined together to form the M. The McDonald’s name was added to the logo in 1968.
Apple
There are different stories behind Apple’s logo. The first logo was a reference to the religious story of Adam and Eve, in which the apple represented the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. One year later, the second logo was designed in 1977 by Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne, and it described Sir Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree. This logo didn’t stay long. One year later it was replaced almost immediately by graphic designer Rob Janoff’s “rainbow apple”, a rainbow-colored silhouette(輪廓)of an apple with a bite taken out of it. And then the rainbow-colored apple was replaced by the one-colored logo in 1998. It has not been changed so far.
Mercedes Benz
The Mercedes Benz logo, which was originally created by Gottlieb Daimler in 1909, consists of a simple description of a three-pointed star that represents its rule of the land, the sea and the air. The company was founded by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach. Mercedes is the name of Maybach’s elder daughter, while Benz came as a result of a combination with Benz, Cie and DMG in 1926.
Adidas
The Adidas logo, which was created by the founder of the company Adi Dassler, represents mountains, pointing towards the challenges that are seen ahead and goals that can be achieved. The logo was used for the first time in 1967.
【小題1】What does the author think of the stories of the great logos?
A.They are boring. | B.They are out of date. |
C.They are attractive. | D.They are practical. |
A.The goddess of victory. |
B.The source of inspiration for soldiers. |
C.The statue of the Greek goddess. |
D.The wing of the Greek goddess. |
A.the religious story of Adam and Eve |
B.a(chǎn) bitten apple with only one color |
C.Newton’s sitting under an apple tree |
D.the rainbow-colored bitten apple |
A.Nike’s logo | B.Apple’s logo |
C.The Mercedes logo | D.The Adidas logo |
A.Mercedes Benz –McDonald’s – Nike – Apple. |
B.Nike – McDonald’s – Apple – Mercedes Benz. |
C.McDonald’s – Apple – Nike – Mercedes Benz. |
D.Nike – Mercedes Benz – McDonald’s – Apple. |
