Just five one-hundredths of an inch thick and light golden in color, the Lay's potato chip seems an unlikely weapon for global control. But its maker, Frito-Lay doesn't think so. "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 attractions of a Frito-Lay potato chip.

Frito-Lay is the biggest snack maker in America owned by Pepsico and accounts for over half of the parent company's $ 3 billion profits every year. But the U.S. snack food market is largely saturated(饱和),and to grow, the company has to look overseas.

     Its strategy rests on two beliefs: first, a global product offers economies of scale(规模) 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 regarded as American, but ones that consumers--especially young people--see as part of a modern, 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 example, do not know that 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.

With brand concept a key factor, Riskey ordered a redesign of the Frito-Lay logo(标识). The logo, along with the company's long-held marketing image of its chips, would help make the company's global development very easy.

The managers admit that they try to change national eating habits to a food created in America, but they don't think that means economic imperialism (霸主).  "We're making products in those countries, we're adapting them to the tastes of those countries, building businesses and employing people and changing lives , "said Steve Reinemund, Pepsico's chief manager.

Amin's belief is that _________.

A．people all over the world enjoy eating their potato chips

B．the light golden color increases the attraction of their potato chips

C．they must find new ways to promote sales in their country

D．potato chips can hardly control the world market

What do we learn about Frito-Lay from Paragraph 2?

A．It gives half of its profits to its parent company every year.

B．It needs to turn to the world market for development.

C．Its products used to be popular among overseas consumers.

D．Its development has caused fierce competition in the snack market.

One of the concepts on which Frito-Lay bases its development strategy is that __________.

A．consumers worldwide today are attracted by global brands

B．products suiting Chinese consumers' needs bring more profits

C．local brands cannot compete successfully with American brands

D．products identified as American will have promising market value

Why did Riskey have the Frito-Lay logo redesigned?

A．To suit changing tastes of young consumers.

B．To compete with other American chip producers.

C．To change the company's long-held marketing image.

D．To promote the company's strategy of globalization.

    Our bodies are wonderfully skillful at keeping balance．When the temperature jumps, we sweat to cool down．When our blood pressure falls, our hearts can do something．As it turns out, though, our natural state is always changing．Researchers are finding that everything from blood pressure to brain function changes regularly with the cycles of sun, moon and seasons．And their insights （洞察力） are getting new ways for keeping away such common killers as heart disease and cancer．Only one doctor in 20 has a good knowledge of the scientific use of time in medicine．But according to a new American Medical Association, three out of four are eager to change that．“The field is exploding,” says Michael Smolensky．“Doctors used to look at us like, What spaceship did you get off ? Now they're thirsty to know more．”

    In medical school, most doctors learn that people with chronic  conditions should take their medicine regularly．“It’s a terrible way to treat disease,” says Dr Richard Martin．For example, asthmatics （气喘患者） are most likely to suffer during the night．Yet most patients try to keep a constant level of medicine in their blood day and night, whether by breathing in on an inhaler （吸入器） four times a day or taking a pill each morning and evening．In recent studies, researchers have found that a large mid afternoon dose of a bronchodilator （支气管扩张剂） can be as safe as several small doses, and better for preventing nighttime attacks．

    If the night belongs to asthma, the dawn belongs to high blood pressure and heart disease．Heart attacks are twice as common at 9 a．m．as at 11 p．m．Part of the reason is that our blood pressure falls at night, then rises as we start to work for the day．“Doctors know that,” says Dr．Henry Black of Chicago's Medical Center, “but until now, we haven't been able to do anything about it．” Most blood - pressure drugs provide 18 to 20 hours of relief （减缓）．But because they’re taken in the morning, they're least effective when most needed．“You take your pill at 7 and it's working by 9,” says Dr．William White of the University of Connecticut Health Center “But by that time you've gone through the worst four hours of the day with no protection．” Bedtime medicine would prevent high blood pressure, but it would also push blood pressure to dangerously low levels during the night．

1.Researchers are finding that _________ ．

    A．heart disease and cancer are the most common killers of human beings

    B．only blood pressure and brain function are decided by cycles of sun, moon and seasons

    C．the functions of human bodies have much to do with nature

    D．any change in human bodies goes with changes in the surroundings

2.According to the author, it is best for asthmatics to take their medicine _________ ．

    A．at certain time

    B．each morning and evening

    C．when the disease occurs

    D．at midafternoon

3.Which of the following statements is NOT true?

    A．Doctors know more about illnesses than before．

    B．Doctors in the U．S．used to be thirsty to know more about the new medical field．

    C．The researchers' insights are providing new methods to prevent common killers．

    D．The correct use of time in medicine attracts more attention in medical circle in the U．S．A．

4.The suggested title for this passage might be _________．

    A．Medicine Is Everything               B．Treatment Is Everything

    C．Timing Is Everything                 D．Prevention Is Everything
