This is a story told by my father: “When I was boy,           1．           

the most exciting thing was when to celebrate the Spring       2．           

Festival．My grandma was the best cooker in the world        3．           

but could make the most delicious dishes．One time, I just     4．           

couldn’t wait for the Spring Festival dinner．As I was         5．           

about take a piece from a cooked duck, I saw Grandma in      6．           

the kitchen looking at me．Shake her head, she said, ‘ It         7．           

isn’t a good time to do that, dear．’ At once I apologize and    8．           

and controlled me at my best till the dinner started．You         9．           

know, that was a dinner we had waited for several month．”   10．           

       “Image is everything．” An entire industry has been built upon the assumption that image is everything, but when it comes down to it, an appealing image is not enough．If there is no substance（事實(shí)） behind the image, the product, service or person will fail eventually．

       First of all, one should consider how important image is in the selling of products and services．Advertising agencies have raised the art of creating an image to a state of near perfection．Public concept of that product or service is certainly managed by the images created by the advertising agencies．But if the product or service does not live up to the image that was created, the customer will be very dissatisfied and possibly ask for their money back．For example, the Arthur Andersen accounting firm had spent decades building up an image of trustworthiness．But the recent scandal （丑聞） showed that behind that image, it cheated in business practices．Despite the previous positive image, the firm is being accused of criminal actions and it will probably not survive as a business unit．Although the image had been nearly perfect, the reality behind the image has led to the downfall of the world famous accounting firm．

       Similarly, personal advisers can build up a public image for politicians and movie stars．Putting out positive news releases, making sure that only the best photographs are published, and ensuring that the person is seen in all the right places can build up a very positive image in the view of the general commons．But once again, history is filled with examples of both politicians and movie stars that fell from grace like the story of the Hollywood actor giving in to the pressures of fame and fortune．With people, just as with products and services, image is certainly important, but without positive substance behind the image, failure is close．

       To summarize, it is clear that an appealing image is extremely important to success, whether that image is related to selling a product or service or to the “selling” of a person．But image is only half of the equation．What lies behind that image is every bit as important as the image itself —— the person or product must deliver on that image or there is little chance for long-term success．

1．The downfall of the Arthour Andersen accounting firm is due to ________．

       A．its dishonesty in business                   B．its previous images

       C．its bad management                          D．its poor service

2．Why did some famous people fall from grace?

       A．Their images were not well built up

       B．They failed to live up to their images．

       C．They felt much pressure from the public 

       D．They paid little attention to fame and fortune．

3．The structure of the passage is ________．

A: Argument                                             P: Point                     C: Conclusion

4．The author tries to argue that _________．

       A．image creates everything

       B．image is the key to success

       C．truth is unlikely ever to be equalled

      D．truth and image are equally important

       David Beckham had a dream: to be the first English player to appear in four World Cups．But now it appears that dream is over after a serious injury to his Achilles tendon （跟腱） which means he could be out of action for around six months．With this year's World Cup in South Africa only three months away, sadly Beckham looks set to miss out．The injury happened while Beckham was playing for AC Milan against AC Chievo in the Italian league．After attempting to kick the ball he fell to the ground and hobbled off the pitch before being stretchered （被擔(dān)架抬走）away．

It is not yet known whether he has completely severed （切斷）his Achilles tendon or only torn it．The player has now flown to Finland for assessment and treatment by a knee specialist．

       England manager Fabio Capello fears the worst for Beckham's World Cup chances．

       "We have to wait for the results of the scan but it looks like he is out of the World Cup," he said in a statement．"I spoke with him after the game on Sunday night to offer my support．

       "David is a great professional and has worked very hard to be ready for the World Cup, so missing it will be a big blow．"

       Beckham's former manager at American club LA Galaxy, Alexei Lalas, echoed （共鳴 ）Capello's words of support:

       "It is a horrible situation for Beckham．I know how much it meant to him to be in the World Cup and how important he was to the England team．

       David Beckham is now 34 and some are asking whether this serious injury could mean his whole career is over．

       Whatever happens, as one of football's best-known and popular players, Beckham will have no shortage of encouragement from fans around the world．

       Some will remember Beckham's miraculous recovery from an Achilles injury in 2006, when he was back on the pitch after only eight weeks．

       If he could repeat the same feat in time for the World Cup it really would be the stuff of fairytales．

       So, perhaps all is not lost．Optimists will take heart from Alexei Lalas' words:

       "You never want to write off （排除） David Beckham as he has shown us his ability to bounce back （恢復(fù)原狀）．"

A typical Chinese Internet user is a young male who prefers instant messaging to e-mail, favors news, music and games sites and seldom makes online purchases（購(gòu)物）．According to a study, about two-thirds of survey participants use the Internet for news — often entertainment-related — or for online games．About half download music and movies.

They also tend to prefer instant messaging to e-mail, and they are depending on the Internet more frequently than before to communicate with others who have the same professions, hobbies and political interests．Online purchases still remain unpopular in China．Three-quarters of users surveyed have never bought anything over the Internet, and only 10 percent make purchases even once a month．Among those who do buy online, most pay for entertainment while others buy phone cards, or computer hardware or software.

“Many people don’t trust the quality of goods bought online,” Guo said Wednesday．“If they buy it in a store and don’t like it, they can easily bring it back.”

The survey was done in five major cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu and Changsha．Results do not necessarily project countrywide because Internet use in rural areas is lower than in cities．Guo describes the typical netizen in the five cities surveyed as young, male, richer and more highly educated．Males make up two-thirds of the Internet community, and more than 80 percent of users are under 24．Among people ages 25 to 29, 60 percent to 80 percent go online.
