题目内容

17．Though the scheme was well designed，it because people were unwilling to cooperate．（　　）

A．

turned up

B．

took on

C．

broke down

D．

carried on

分析尽管这个方案设计很好，但是还是失败了，因为人们不愿意合作．

解答答案：C
turn up 意思为"调大音量，出现"； take on意思为"呈现，雇佣，承担"； break down 意思为"失败；分解，划分（以便分析）；损坏；衰弱下来"； carry on意思为"继续进行；争吵；吵闹"．根据句首的though，可知后面的内容表示的是这个方案的失败．

8．Thomas Jefferson，the third president of the United States，was a good and tireless writer，and he wrote The Declaration of Independence．There is much we can learn from him．Here are some of the things he said and wrote：
Go and see．Jefferson believed that a free man obtains knowledge from many sources besides books，and personal investigation is important as well．
Judge for yourself．Jefferson refused to accept other people's opinions without careful thought．"Neither believe nor reject anything，"he wrote to his nephew．
Learn from everyone．Jefferson once visited the French nobleman，Lafayette，and said to him，"You must go into the people's home as I have done，look into their cooking pots and eat their bread．If you will only do this，you may find out why people are dissatisfied．"
Do what you believe is right．In a free country，there will always be conflicting ideas，and this is a source of strength．It is not unquestioning agreement but conflict that keeps freedom alive．Though Jefferson was for many years the object of strong criticism，he never answered his critics．He expressed his philosophy，"There are two sides to every question．If you take one side with decision and act on it with effect，those who take the other side will of course resent（憎恶）your actions．"
Trust the future and trust the young．Jefferson felt that the present should never be chained to customs which have lost their usefulness．"The earth belongs to the living generation．"He didn't fear new ideas，nor did he fear the future．"How much pain has been caused by evils which have never happened？"he remarked，"I expect the best，not the worst．"

1．Sparrow is a fast-food chain with 200 restaurants．Some years ago，the group to which Sparrow belonged was taken over by another company．Although Sparrow showed no sign of declining，the chain was generally in an unhealthy state．With more and more fast-food concepts reaching the market，the Sparrow menu had to struggle for attention．And to make matters worse，its new owner had no plans to give it the funds it required．
Sparrow failed to grow for another two years．Until a new CEO，Carl Pearson，decided to build up its market share．He did a survey，which showed that consumers who already used Sparrow restaurants were extremely positive about the chain，while customers of other fast-food chains were unwilling to turn away from them．Sparrow had to develop a new promotional campaign．
Pearson faced a battle over the future of the Sparrow brand．The chain's owner now favored rebranding Sparrow as Marcy's restaurants．Pearson resisted，arguing for an advertising campaign designed to convince customers that visits to Sparrow restaurants were fun．Such an attempt to establish a positive relationship between a company and the general public was unusual for that time．Pearson strongly believed that numbers were the key to success，rather than customers'speeding power．Finally，the owner accepted his idea．
The campaign itself changed the traditional advertising style of the fast-food industry．The TV ads of Sparrow focused on entertainment and featured original sons performed by a variety of stars．Instead of showing the superiority of a specific product，the intension was to put Sparrow in the hearts of potential customers．
Pearson also made other decisions which he believed would contribute to the new Sparrow image．For example，he offered to lower the rent of any restaurants which achieved a certain increase in their turnover．（营业额）
These efforts paid off，and Sparrow soon became one of the most successful fast-food chains in the regions where it operated．
