Experts say Facebook could raise about five billion dollars. That would be one of the biggest IPO sales ever. And it would be much bigger than Google’s first public stock sale in 2004. At that time, the Internet search company raised almost two billion dollars.

Facebook has 800 million users around the world. It is the second most visited website after Google. Now, experts say the social media network is in a position to become one of the most valuable Internet companies.

Stock expert Anupam Palit at Greencrest Capital says that among social media sites, Facebook is in a class by itself.

“It is the biggest company in this space and we believe what makes it very unique from every other company that went public last year in this space is that it is very, very profitable.” said Anupam Palit.

Early estimates place the total value of the social network between 75 and 100 billion dollars. That includes earlier investments by other companies. David Kirkpatrick wrote the book The Facebook Effect. He says Facebook’s IPO will be historic.

The stock sale could also make Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg one of the world’s youngest billionaires. He is only 27.

Investment companies are likely to buy Facebook stock first. But investment manager Jim O’Shaugnessy says that is not so bad. He says the prices of some IPO stocks are too high and fall not long after they first go on sale.

Recently, share prices of some Internet businesses have fallen after their stocks were first offered. For example, stocks of Linkedln, Groupon and Zynga, dropped in price by as much as 25% after going public.

There were similar questions eight years ago when Google first sold stock to the public. Today, Google is one of the world’s most valuable technology companies.

1.Which of the following is true about Google?

A. Google’s first public stock sale began in 2005.

B. Google is the world’s most valuable company.

C. Google’s share price rose after its stock was first offered.

2.According to the passage, we can know Facebook ________.

A. has 800 million users in the USA B. has announced the date for its first stock sale

C. is the most visited website today D. is the world’s biggest social media network

3.We can infer from the passage that ________.

A. Facebook stock is being sold very well

B. Mark Zuckerberg will get much money from the stock sale

C. Mark Zuckerberg was only 27 when Facebook was founded

D. investment companies have bought many Facebook shares

4.Which would be the best title for this passage?

Investors soon will be able to own shares of Facebook stock. The world’s biggest social media network presented documents to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday. The documents are required before the company can make its initial public offering（首次公开募股）or IPO. A date for the stock sale has yet to be announced.

　　For many years large supermarkets have been encouraging us to spend money by pumping the smell of freshly-baked bread into their stories．Now Dale Air, a leading firm of aroma(香气)consultants, has been approached by Barclay's Bank to develop suitable artificial smells for their banks．Researchers have suggested that surrounding customers with the "smell of money" will encourage them to feel relaxed and optimistic and give them added confidence in the bank's security and professionalism．

　　But before a smell can be manufactured and introduced into banks' air conditioning systems, it must be identified and chemically analyzed, and this has proved to be difficult．The problem is that banknotes and coins tend to pick up the smell of their surroundings．So cash that has been sitting in a cash register at a fishmonger's(鱼贩)will smell of fish, and banknotes used to pay for meals in restaurants will tend to smell of food．

　　It may be a challenge, but aroma experts have little doubt that the use of artificial smells can be an effective form of subconscious advertising．Lunn Poly, a British travel company, introduced the smell of coconuts into its travel agencies and saw a big increase in spending by holiday makers．Many cafes now have electric dispensers(自动售货机)that release the smell of freshly roasted coffee near their entrances, subtly encouraging customers to come in and have a drink or snack．Even prestigious car maker Rolls-Royce has been spraying the inside of its cars to enhance the smell of the leather seats．

　　"The sense of smell is probably the most basic and primitive of all human senses," explains researcher Jim O'Rordan．" There is a direct pathway from the olfactory(嗅觉的)organs in the nose to the brain．" It is certainly true that most people find certain smells incredibly strong, stringing memories and feelings in a way that few other stimulants(刺激物)can rival．It is a phenomenon marketing consultants have long recognized, but until recently have been unable to harness．"We've made great progress but the technology of odour production is still in its infancy," says O'Riordan, "Who knows where it will take us．"
