GP4rL^K
  Just five one-hundredths of an inch thick, light golden in color and with a perfect "saddle curl," the Lay's potato chip seems an unlikely weapon for global domination. But its maker. Frito-Lay. Thinks otherwise." Potato chips are a snack food for the world," said Salman Amin, the company's head of global marketing. Amin believes there is no corner of the world that can resist the charms of a Frito-Lay potato chip.:O!LYC:V
y5YMJ H?
  Frito-Lay is the biggest snack maker in America. owned by PepsiCo. And accounts for over half of the parent company's $3 billion annual profits. But the U.S. snack food market is largely saturated, and to grow. the company has to look overseas.
IdY!x.a-EFSF
3Iz8PI B(y%v+p   Its strategy rests on two beliefs: first a global product offers economies of scale with which local brands cannot compete. And second, consumers in the 21st century are drawn to "global" as a concept. "Global" does not mean products that are consciously identified as American, but ones than consumes-especially young people-see as part of a modem, innovative(创新的)world in which people are linked across cultures by shared beliefs and tastes. Potato chips are an American invention, but most Chinese, for instance, do not know than Frito-Lay is an American company. Instead, Riskey, the company's research and development head, would hope they associate the brand with the new world of global communications and business.rw1fZ:H/a4N&|

F Fd(E Y.Vi   With brand perception a crucial factor, Riskey ordered a redesign of the Frito-Lay logo(标识).The logo, along with the company's long-held marketing image of the "irresistibility" of its chips. would help facilitate the company's global expansion. X$^0S(e j_}}

Rater, they see Frito-Lay as spreading the benefits of free enterprise across the world.

  Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.*`6Ej)wHwr*l%S
vPW"`?
  "Humans should not try to avoid stress any more than they would shun food, love or exercise." Said Dr. Hans Selye, the first physician to document the effects of stress on the body. While here's on question that continuous stress is harmful, several studies suggest that challenging situations in which you're able to rise to the occasion can be good for you……e)P,Cf6g$qC-Vc
8m3]Oq*`2NS8mD
  In a 2001 study of 158 hospital nurses, those who faced considerable work demands but coped with the challenge were more likely to say they were in good health than those who felt they stress that you can manage also boost immune(免疫的) function. In a study at the Academic Center for Dentistry in Amsterdam, researchers put volunteers through two stressful experiences. In the first, a timed task that required memorizing a list followed by a short test, subjects through a gory(血淋淋的) video on surgical procedures. Those who did well on the memory test had an increase in levels of immunoglobulin A, an antibody that's the body's first line of defense against germs. The video-watchers experienced a downturn in the antibody.e ir[ ~_x)B
1c$i?#O3l ?7@ q1s
  Stress prompts the body to produce certain stress hormones. In short bursts these hormones have a positive effect, including improved memory function. "They can help nerve cells handle information and put it into storage," says Dr. Bruce McEwen of Rockefeller University in New York. But in the long run these hormones can have a harmful effect on the body and brain. Yf|']B*k2j

Passage Four)o/hd-ktl6G

NZG7o3I   Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.
Fc%^r9d(l
"Q,n~|oZv Q+Q   If you want to teach your children how to say sorry, you must be good at saying it yourself, especially to your own children. But how you say it can be quite tricky.
n8J j:w5O_c*{C !Hzt?:\c
  If you say to your children "I'm sorry I got angry with you, but …" what follows that "but" can render the apology ineffective: " I had a bad day" or "your noise was giving me a headache " leaves the person who has been injured feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior in expecting an apology.6M+S%\k4P#\E
t q \6C)I*Z}.|
  Another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say "I'm sorry you're upset" ; this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person has done.{pj/H$d E
be,Kn xpm
  Then there is the general, all covering apology, which avoids the necessity of identifying a specific act that was particularly hurtful or insulting, and which the person who is apologizing should promise never to do again. Saying "I'm useless as a parent" does not commit a person to any specific improvement.
R0["^T9R-n+T|3rF
0v2n {#vE@b   These pseudo-apologies are used by people who believe saying sorry shows weakness, Parents who wish to teach their children to apologize should see it as a sign of strength, and therefore not resort to these pseudo-apologies.
wHe V Ve&r
)S K)S _4Bp nr   But even when presented with examples of genuine contrition, children still need help to become a ware of the complexities of saying sorry. A three-year-old might need help in understanding that other children feel pain just as he does, and that hitting a playmate over the head with a heavy toy requires an apology. A six-year-old might need reminding that spoiling other children's expectations can require an apology.

B\]8u,K~D   As a physician who travels quite a lot, I spend a lot of time on planes listening for that dreaded "Is there a doctor on board?" announcement. I've been 71 only once - for a woman who hadjl'd&^?Se0y!U6J*\Z

O2Bik^'xLtN   merely fainted. But the 72 made me quite curious about how 73 this kind of thing happens I wondered what I would do if 74 with a real midair medical emergency-with out access 75 a hospital staff and the usual emergency equipment. So 76 the New England Journal of Medicine last week 77 a study about in -flight medical events. I read it 78 interest.SfV|(~zNzs"I

P8R!^R#F$hh   The study estimated that there are a(n) 79 of 30 in-flight medical emergencies on U.S. flights every day. Most of them are not 80;fainting and dizziness are the most frequent complaints. 81 13% of them -roughly four a day - are serious enough to 82 a pilot to change course. The most common of the serious emergencies 83 heart trouble. strokes, and difficulty breathing.

`UdFY$KjE.f   Let's face it: plane rides are 84.For starters, cabin pressures at high altitudes are set at roughly 85 they would be if you lived at 5,000 to 8,000 feet above sea level. Most people can tolerate these pressures pretty 86 ,but passengers with heart disease 87 experience chest pains as result of the reduced amount of oxygen flowing through their blood. 88 common in-flight problem is deep venous thrombosis - the so-called economy class syndrome (综合症).89 happens, don't panic. Things are getting better on the in-flight-emergency front. Thanks to more recent legislation, flights with at 90 one attendant are starting to install emergency medical kits to treat heart attacks.X$bJG N-r;L0[
