One logo(商标)isn't too expensive to print because it doesn't need much ink,but printing a large number of logos could cost a lot.In order to save money and energy,an American design company made small changes to some famous brands,such as Nike,McDonald's and Starbucks,to cut the cost.The design company retained the main body of these logos,but left an empty space inside.The logos look almost the same,but in this way,the famous brands could save 39percent of the ink during the printing process.Let's hope other companies will take this advice.The measure will save them money and use less energy,too.Funny menu for childrenDining out with children can be an unpleasant experience for most parents,because kids are always running round the entire restaurant,saying‘I don't know what I want'or‘I'm not hungry.'But now,a Maryland restaurant has created the‘Kid Friendlies'menu.It translates children's words into meals to help parents order for their kids.A father said,‘As a dad,I think this is on the money.'Here is the menu.Kid Friendlies‘I don’t know.’--- Triple Layer PB&J 2.50‘I don’t care.’ --- Grilled Peanut Butter & Banana Sandwich 3.50I am not hungry.’ --- Basket of Chicken Tenders 7.00‘I don’t want that.’ --- Kids Fries 3.50What?’ --- Cheese Quesadilla 4.5039.

Choose the words or expressions to complete the passage(选择最恰当的单词或者短语完成短文) Around 80 examples of failed products, business and ideas are showed in the newly opened museum in Sweden. It is to celebrate modern history’s ____45____ designs—from Coca-Cola Blak, a coffee-inspired drink, to Bic pens made just for women.Besides showing long-forgotten failure, founder Dr. Samuel West is on a task to help us learn from our mistakes. Samuel set up the museum after growing ____46____ success stories. He said understanding bad designs could be more valuable than making good designs.“Most of all creative projects fail, and learning is the only way to turn failure into success.” according to the museums website. “I hope that visitors take home two ____47____: that failure is connected with success, and that they should understand the importance of learning from failure,” said Dr. West.“The purpose of the museum is to show that creativity requires failure,” Dr. West said as he introduced some of the products in a video. “If you are afraid of failure, then you can’t create.” His purpose of starting the museum was to encourage organizations to be better at learning from failure instead of ignoring (无视) them and pretend they ____48____ happened.Many of the museum’s items were available online. West believed that poorly-designed products have little in common with one another. One of the items, for example, is a frozen beef lasagna (意式千层面) made by Colgate(Yes, the company that makes toothpaste). West ____49____ this as a classical case of “brand extension failure.”A collection of nine objects from the museum is our tour. The traveling collection of failures will then visit Los Angeles, New York, Shanghai and Tokyo in 2018 and 2019.History may be written by the winners, but we should not ignore the losers. ____50____, that’s what the Museum of Failure wants us to believe.45.

Fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词使其通顺,每空格限填一词,首字母已给) Augie Dobson, a 9-year-old American boy is proud of his ability to speak Chinese. He has been studying the language for three years from Shanghai Community International School.Augie is one of a group of three and took part in a drama performance competition. It was organized to e____51____ overseas students to understand Chinese culture.Their play is based on Tang Dynasty (618—907) poet He Zhizhang’s “Hui Xiang Ou Shu”. Luckily, the play got the second p____52____ at yesterday’s ceremony.“Hui Xiang Ou Shu” means writing something after returning home It describes an old man who left his hometown at a young age but feels like a s____53____ when he returns a couple of years later.Mrs Sun, a Chinese teacher in school said she tries to teach her pupils to sing and dance to the poem. Children are interested in singing poems rather than just reciting t____54____.Students at Shanghai Community International School now learn an ancient poem every day. “It’s difficult b____55____ I’m trying to remember,” said Augie.The first prize went to drama “Kong Cheng Ji” performed by students at Dulwich College Shanghai. Kong Cheng Ji, tells of Zhuge liang during the Three Kingdoms period (220—280) . He had no army to protect and guard the city but m____56____ to make the enemy’s leader Sima Yi believe that the city was full of traps and ambushes(埋伏). As a result, Sima gave up.Li Zihao plays Sima in the drama. Li is a fan of chengyu, Chinese four-character idioms(四字成语) .“I’ve downloaded an app about telling stories with chengyu, and he loves it. I think chengyu is a very s____57____ and important part of Chinese culture. Four words alone can mean a lot, and chengyu shows the great wisdom of old Chinese people.” said his mother.D. Chinese boys are failing to become men according to a new book CALLED Save the Boys. The book says today's Chinese boys are both physically and emotionally(情感地)weak. It claims, in effect, that boys are becoming more girly!The writers of the book say modern culture and education system have an effect on this situation. They also say boys' learning is constricted(受限制的)by having to sit still in class all day. They don't have good role models in school because most of their teachers are women. On top of that, most men role models in pop﹣culture, the authors say, are effeminate(女子气的).Now, if you are a boy reading this, you shouldn't get too nervous(you may already be laughing!), because the book is just talking about social changes that have been happening all over the world, not just in China. When the world was becoming richer, the traditional roles of men and women changed a lot. Now we no longer live in old times when men had to defend their families from man﹣eating tigers. And women are no longer financially(经济地)dependent on men because they have their own jobs and careers.Becoming a man is a difficult and long process. Your best role model is probably your father. From our fathers we learn that a man is honest and kind. He is responsible and hardworking. He always faces difficulties and doesn't complain or make excuses. He may not have big muscles, but he does have a big heart. As long as there are good fathers, there is no need to worry about"saving"the boys.58.
