He was John Styth Pemberton, born in 1833 in Knoxville. Georgia, eighty miles away. Sometimes known as Doctor. Pemberton was a pharmacist (药剂师) who, during the Civil War, led a cavalry troop under General Joe Wheelrer. He settled in Atlanta in 1869, and soon began brewing such patent medicines as Triplex Liver Pills and Globe of Flower Cough Syrup. In 1885, he registered a trademark for something called French Wine Coca-Ideal Nerve and Tonic Stimulant. A few months later he formed the Pemberton Chemical Company, and recruited the services of a bookkeeper named Frank M. Robinson, who not only had a good head for figures but, attached to it, so exceptional a nose that he could audit the composition of a batch of syrup merely by sniffling it. In 1886 — a year in which, as contemporary Coca-cola officials like to point out. Conan Doyle unveiled Sherlock Holmes and France unveiled the Statue of Liberty — Pemberton unveiled a syrup that he called Coca-cola. It was a modification of his French Wine Coca. He had taken out the wine and added a pinch of caffeine, and, when the end product tasted awful, had thrown in some extract of cola nut and a few other oils, blending the mixture in a three legged iron pot in his back yard and swishing it around with an oar. He distributed it to soda fountains in used beer bottles, and Robinson, with his glowing bookkeeper's script, presently devised a label, on which \-Cola\was written in the fashion that is still employed. Pemberton looked upon his mixture less as a refreshment than as a headache cure, especially for people whose headache could be traced to over-indulgence. On a morning late in 1886, one such victim of the night before dragged himself into an Atlanta drugstore and asked for a doolop of Coca-Cola. Druggists customarily stirred a teaspoonful of syrup into a glass of water, but in this instance the man on duty was too lazy to walk to the fresh water tap, a couple of feet off. Instead, he mixed the syrup with some soda water, which was closer at hand. The suffering customer perked up almost at once, and word quickly spread that Coca-Cola was a fizzy one. 41.

A. the complaint against the lazy shop-assistant B. a real test of Coca-Cola as a headache cure C. the medical service of the drugstore D. a happy accident that gave birth to Coca-Cola Passage Four Some critics of American society say that dishonesty is rampant in the Federal government. One example they cite took place during March and April, 1980. For a whole month, they say, the United States lied to its allies. Cyrus Vance, who was then Secretary of State, was given the task of telling Great Britain, Japan, France, West Germany and others that the United States would not take military action against Iran as long as we had the cooperation of our allies: Secretary of State Vance knew that the raid to get out the American captives was already planned while he was talking to our allies. But he also knew that the reason for this deliberate lying was to save lives. The primary purpose of the deception was not to trick our allies but to mislead the Iranian kidnappers so that a rescue attempt could take place. Many students of ethics believe that lying for the sake of one's country is justified — in certain cases. In this case, having lied for the sake of his country, Secretary Vance secretly wrote a letter of resignation before the raid took place. By submitting his resignation before the raid, he showed that the result had nothing to do with his resignation. It can be said that former Secretary of State Vance deceived other governments only for humanitarian reasons. Then, once he had lied, he resigned. In that case, it is argued, lying may be justified. Without the deception, the rescue mission could not have taken place. Of course, dishonesty in government at local, state and national levels does not always have such noble reasons. A prime example is the Watergate affair. Most Americans were surprised and outraged by the news of Watergate affair. But many Europeans were surprised at our surprise. Some European observers explained that they tended to think of lying, cheating, deception and corruption as part of politics and government. 46. According to the passage, Secretary Vance lied to the allies ________. A. for the sake of his own benefit B. on the purpose of saving lives C. in order to get their cooperation D. to mislead Iranian government 47. The United States________. A. carried out a raid to rescue some Americans from the Iranian kidnappers B. took military action to capture Iranian kidnappers C. undertook a rescue mission with the help of their allies D. tricked their allies into attacking Iran 48. Some students think of Vance's lying as ________. A. unbelievable and unreasonable B. reasonable and acceptable C. an indication of his dishonesty D. a reason for his resignation 49. According to some European observers, deception and corruption ________. A. are uncommon in politics and government B. are distinctive features of politics and government C. are rampant in American Federal government D. are rare in European countries 50. The word \ A. careless B. sensible C. intentional D. right Passage Five \say what Wilde would have thought of this week's cover photo or the pictures inside of dads and their children. Several clearly defy the outdated idea of fathers as detached from the parenting process. And that's just what the photographers intended. Gregory Heisler, who did the cover photograph, says he wanted the image to show genuine affections. So, rather than use professional models, he went out and found some \slick, over-produced shot, I wanted something more authentic to the experience of being a father.\Heisler, 39, has conveyed complex ideas for the cover of TIME. His photographs have graced the front of the magazine some 20 times, ranging from Olympic athlete Jackie Joyner-Kersee and director David Lynch to former President George Bush and Ted Turner for the Man of the Year issues in 1991 and 1992, respectively. But this week's TIME cover has special meaning, he says, because he and his wife Prudence had their first child, Lucy, 16 months ago. The pictures appearing inside were all done by photographer Jeffrey Lowe. Although Lowe has not experienced fatherhood yet, he observed many intimate moments of parenting by spending a lot of private time with each dad and child. Of all the pictures, Lowe was most deeply touched by the father-to-be embracing his pregnant wife. While most of the credit for the pictures rightly goes to those behind the camera, cover coordinator Linda Freeman and assistant picture editor. Mary Worrell Bousquette, who work behind the scenes, also deserve accolades. Freeman, for instance, had the challenging I ask of making arrangements for the group portrait of child movie stars by Heisler that appears on page 62. Says she: \wanted our story to show the many faces of fatherhood,\heard. Sorry, Oscar. 51. In Oscar Wilde's view, ________. A. distance between fathers and their children is essential in family life B. fathers should play a greater role in family life C. family life is something that fathers enjoy most D. fathers are never sure about what they should do at home 52. The photographers of this weeks TIME intended ________. A. to support Oscar Wildes view B. to prove that Oscar Wilde was wrong C. to apologize to Oscar Wilde D. to show their respect for Oscar Wilde 53. The word \ A. decorated B. substituted C. turned out D. mixed up 54. How did Jeffrey Lowe manage to portray fathers' feelings accurately? A. He tried to experience fatherhood himself. B. He spent most of his time with his pregnant wife. C. He mixed with many fathers and their children. D. He studied the relationship between each member in a family. 55. What is the author's main purpose in writing this passage? A. To comment on Oscar Wilde's view on fatherhood. B. To make a brief introduction to the current issue of TIME. C. To give his own opinion on fatherhood. D. To praise the work by the photographers and the editors.
