Coca Cola’s secrets are saved！

　　Three people have been arrested for trying to sell Coca-Cola company secrets to PepsiCo, according to the US Department of Justice．

　　Two men of Georgia and one man of New York City have joined in the trick to sell the Coke secrets to opponent Pepsi for ＄1.5 million．In May, PepsiCo told Coca-Cola that it had received a letter from a person calling himself “Dirk” offering “very detailed and secret information” about Coke’s products for a fee, according to the DOJ press release．

　　“Sadly, today’s arrests include a person within our company, ” said Coke CEO Neville Isdell in an email to employees．“While this failure of trust is difficult for all of us to accept, it stresses the responsibility we each have to watch out in protecting our trade secrets．” “Information is the lifeblood(生命線)of the company, ” Isdell continued．“As the health of our enterprise(事業(yè))continues to strengthen, our ideas and our competitive data carry increasing interest to those outside our business．”

　　A PepsiCo spokesman said that the company was pleased to be of help in the investigation(調查)．“We did what any responsible company would do, ” said the spokesman．“Competition can be fierce, but it must also be fair and legal．”

The man who is in charge of the project couldn’t be more suited for the job. The American has lived in the country for about 15 years, speaks fluent Chinese, and considers Beijing his hometown. David Brooks, vice-president and general manager of the Olympics Project Group of Coca Cola China, who has lived in the country for more than a decade, said: "We are working very hard to create a lot of special different kinds of items that are very Oriental in character and have a strong Oriental identity. "There is a lot of curiosity around the world about the country and about Oriental culture. So, we think we also have a role and opportunity to show people so many things."
Coca Cola has launched its logo(標識) with the Beijing Games, featuring kites and lucky clouds, traditional elements in the Oriental culture. Brooks considers it a good start. "We are doing a lot of similar programs, and in the next 570 days or so, as we count down to the Games, you will see more examples with strong Oriental spirit and identity."
He certainly has a sense of history. "The Olympic spirit, which is an ancient spirit from over 2,000 years ago, is alive. It still lives through the Olympic Games in the idea of balancing the body and mind, and doing the best," said Brooks, who has been to three Games. "It's like a big family celebrating together. I think all the members of my team and I feel it is a special honor to be involved in the Games."

第三部分 閱讀理解 （共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分）

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

Nowadays, we hear a lot about the growing threat of globalization, accompanied by those warnings that the rich pattern of local life is being undermined（破壞）, and many dialects and traditions are becoming extinct. But stop and think for a moment about the many positive aspects that globalization is bringing. Read on and you are sure to feel comforted, ready to face the global future

    Consider the Internet, that good example of our shrinking world. Leaving aside the worries about political extremism, even the most narrow-minded must admit that the net offers a lot of benefits, not just in terms of education, the sector（部分）for which it was originally designed, but more importantly on a global level, the spread of news and comment. It will be increasingly difficult for politicians to misinform the public, as the oppressed（被壓迫的）will not only find support and comfort, but also be able to organize themselves more effectively.

     MTV is another global provider that is often criticized for imposing（強加）popular culture on the unsuspecting millions around the world. Yet the viewers’ judgment on MTV is undoubtedly positive; it is regarded as necessary by most of the global teenage generation who watch it, a vital part of growing up. And in the final analysis, what harm can a few songs and videos cause?

 Is the world dominance（絕對優(yōu)勢）of brands like Nike and Coca-Cola so bad for us, when all is said and done? Sportswear and soft drinks are harmless products when compared to the many other things that have been globally available for a longer period of time----heroin and cocaine, for example. In any case, just because Nike shoes and Coke cans are for sale, it doesn’t mean you have to buy them----even globalization cannot take away people’s free will.

    Critics of globalization can stop presenting their doom and gloom statements. Life goes on, and has more to offer for many citizens of the world than it did for their parents’ generation.

56．Some people feel sad about globalization because they believe it will ____________.

A．affect the rich local life

B．bring threat to the world peace 

C．change their present easy lifestyle 

D．increase the size of people speaking dialects

57．Internet was originally designed ______________. 

A．to spread news and comment

B．to get support and comfort 

C．to organize the oppressed more effectively

D．to promote education

58. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. The Internet makes people worried about political extremism.

B. Nike and Coca-cola shouldn’t have caused so much worry.

C. All of the global teenage generation think that MTV is a necessary and important part for their growing up.

D. Sportswear and soft drinks cannot be compared with drug.

59．Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?

A．Globalization is Standardization（標準化）

B．Globalization: Don’t Worry, Be Happy

C．Globalization: Like it or change it

D．Globalization Brings Equality
