We have heard of counterfeiting before. Usually it refers to people making money by printing it instead of earning it. But counterfeiting also can involve all sorts of consumer goods and manufactured products. From well-known brand names such as Calvin Klein jeans to auto parts,counterfeiters have found ways to produce goods that look authentic. In some instances,counterfeit products look better than the original!

The demand of brand-name products has helped counterfeiting grow into a very profitable business throughout the world and into a serious problem for legal manufacturers and consumers alike. Faulty counterfeit parts have caused more than two dozen crashes. Most counterfeit auto parts do not meet federal safety standards.

Counterfeiting hurts manufacturers in many ways. Analysts estimate that,in the United States alone,annual revenue loss runs from$6 billion to$8 billion. Perhaps even worse,consumers blame the innocent manufacturers when they unknowingly buy a counterfeit product and find it doesn't perform as expected. Sometimes entire economies can suffer. For instance, when farmers in Kenya and Zaire used counterfeit fertilizers, both countries lost most crops.

By copying other firms' products, counterfeiters avoid research and development costs and most marketing costs. High-tech products such as computers and their software products are especially easy to suffer. As long as counterfeiting is profitable,large quantities of products are available to copy,and the laws are difficult to enforce,counterfeiters can be expected to exist for a long time.

  Christie was born in September of 1890 in England. When she was growing up,her mother often told her stories. Christie loved these stories that took her into a world of fantasy. Christie's mother also encouraged her to write from a young age.

  At 16, Christie went to a school in Paris to study piano and singing. She learned to play the piano very well. But she never made music a career because of stage fright(怯场) .At 22,she fell in love with Archie Christie. They got married in 1914 at the beginning of World War I.

  During the war,Christie wrote her first detective story;The Mysterious Affair at Styles. She chose the crime,and then invented a detective named Hercule Poirot to solve it. She sent the book to a publisher, but it was rejected.

  After the war ended, Christie sent her book to more publishers and finally in 1920,one published it. She earned just $25 for it. Over the next few years,Christie wrote more books and short stories,gaining experience as a writer. In spite of her literary success,life was not go?ing well at home.
