21、How to Design a Logo
A great logo is more than images and words,and a good logo tells a story about your company-who you are,what you do and what you stand for.【1】And it is why it’s important that you take the time to do it right. Fortunately, you don’t have to do it alone.The steps below will help you design a good logo.
Determine the primary function of your logo.
Being clear on why you need a logo can guide your design.Having a strong logo can help consumers recognize your brand more readily. Consumers shop with their eyes and logos can be easier to remember than names,products and services【2】
【3】
It’s important to be clear on who your potential customers are and design the look of your logo to appeal to those who will be using your services.A logo for a flower shop could include a unusual character style and a bright color.
Decide whether to include your company’s name into the logo.
Of course,you want to build name recognition for your business,but making the name part of your logo design may not always be a good idea.Include the name if it is reasonably distinctive but not yet a household word.Do not include the name if it is too long,and doesn’t translate well globally or lacks personality.
Be inspired by but don’t copy successful logos.
While it might be easy to create something that looks like your favorite company’s logo,it will leave an impression on consumers that you’re lazy and uninspired. Look at logos of other companies.【4】These examples give you ideas of what to do and what to avoid.
Keep it simple.
While it may be easy to try to give a lot of messages with your design,trying to do too much will ruin your logo.【5】If there are too many messages in your logo, it will be difficult for the customer to process.
A.Think about your target market.
B.That’s a lot to ask of one piece of art.
C.Ask yourself what you like and don’t like about them.
D.Avoid too many colors, different characters and images.
E.A good logo that conveys your honesty can help put customers at ease.
F.Over time, a customer comes to associate your logo with your company.
G.Show your logo to those connected to you and listen to what they have to say.
22、 A book is made of wood. But it is not a tree. The dead cells have been repurposed to serve another need.
Now a team of scientists has repurposed living cells—scraped(刮落)from frog embryos—and assembled them into entirely new life forms. These millimeter-wide “xenobots” can move toward a target, perhaps pick up a payload(like a medicine that needs to be carried to a specific place inside a patient)—and heal themselves after being cut.
“These are novel living machines,” says Joshua Bongard, a computer scientist and robotics expert at the University of Vermont who co-led the new research. “They're neither a traditional robot nor a known species of animal. It's a new class of artifact：a living, programmable organism.” “We can imagine many useful applications of these living robots that other machines can't do,” says co-leader Michael Levin, “like searching out nasty compounds or radioactive contamination(污染物), gathering microplastic in the oceans, traveling in arteries(动脉)to scrape out plaque.”
People have been manipulating(操纵)organisms for human benefit since at least the dawn of agriculture, genetic editing is becoming widespread, and a few artificial organisms have been manually assembled in the past few years—copying the body forms of known animals. But this research, for the first time ever, “designs completely biological machines from the ground up," the team writes in their new study.
Many people worry about the implications of rapid technological change and complex biological manipulations. "That fear is not unreasonable,” Levin says. "When we start to deal with complex systems that we don't understand, we're going to get unintended consequences.” “If humanity is going to survive into the future, we need to better understand how complex properties, somehow, emerge from simple rules,” says Levin. Much of science is focused on "controlling the low-level rules. We also need to understand the high-level rules." In other words, “this study is a direct contribution to getting a handle on what people are afraid of, which is unintended consequences,” Levin says.
【1】What do we know about the “xenobots” from Paragraph 2?
A.They need to be carried to a specific place.
B.They're capable of self-healing after injury.
C.They are scraped from some new life forms.
D.They can remove an object to another place.
【2】Michael Levin thinks these living robots can __________.
A.recycle microplastic in the oceans
B.take in nasty compounds
C.programme other organisms
D.take away the plaque in arteries
【3】What does the underlined sentence(in Paragraph 4)probably mean?
A.People never created these biological robots in history.
B.These machines were copied from the very beginning.
C.The research is completely carried out on the playground.
D.Organisms have been developed since agriculture.
【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.This study is bound to bring about panic in public.
B.People boycott employing rapid technological change.
C.Science is focused on controlling the low-level rules.
D.Some study is likely to contribute to unexpected results.
23、Fourteen dancers wearing jumpsuits filled with sponge (海绵) and with special cotton in their mouths recreate the slightly fat figures of Tang Dynasty females. They line on stage with amusing facial expressions and humorous motions. Suddenly, they are surrounded by antiques and the next second, they are hanging around in the ancient masterpieces of Ten Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains.
Like in a dream, audiences travelled back with the dancers to the wealthy Tang Dynasty. The magic—like dance program, namely Tang Gong Ye Yan (Night Banquet in Tang Dynasty Palace), was released in the Spring Festival gala of 2021 by Henan TV. The video has been watched 48.62 million times on Sina Weibo, and the view counts of related topics have passed 200 million on Tiktok by Feb 19. It has enlightened people’s passion toward the beauty of traditional culture, and consequently also spread overseas, appreciated by culture lovers around the world.
The dance has become a representation of guochao, which expresses the rise of China’s native fashion trends. A group of young artists have begun to try to demonstrate traditional Chinese culture in different ways. One of the pioneers is Chen Lei, director of the gala. In his opinion, the dance, in which modern technologies such as 3D and AR are used, is a combination of rich treasures of China’s traditional culture and modern technologies, fashions and aesthetic (美学).
Chen told the Global Times that with the development of China, Chinese young people feel more confident to promote Chinese trends to the international stage. He believes traditions shouldn’t be sealed in glass boxes at museums or merely taught in the classroom, but combined with the digital world. Otherwise, the inheritance (传承) of traditions would be artificial and empty.
【1】What does the author intend to do in the first paragraph?
A．To provide an example.
B．To introduce the topic.
C．To add background information.
D．To analyze the dancers’ difficulties.
【2】What can you infer about the dance program from paragraph 2?
A．It promotes tourism in China.
B．It takes advantage of the Internet.
C．It wins world—wide recognition.
D．It popularizes short video platforms.
【3】Which of the following words best describes the dance program?
A．Traditional.
B．Vivid.
C．Complex.
D．Creative.
【4】What should we do about Chinese traditions according to Chen?
A．Preserve them at museums.
B．Teach them at schools.
C．Introduce them to young people.
D．Recreate them with technology.
24、 Hi, Dave Gieber here. Are you seriously thinking about starting a comic book(连环漫画册)collection yourself? Then “Comic Book Collecting, a Starting Point” was written just for you. This book was designed to help you jump-start your collection using Internet resources!
See what others are saying!
Dave,
As a layperson totally green about comic book collecting, the information provided in your book would allow someone like me to basically start a collection from the very beginning. The steps defined on what to look for and where to look when starting a collection are invaluable to a beginner. In addition, you provide information that not only appeals to those starting out but for those collecting for a long time as well. Great job.
Lorraine Cote
Dave,
I'm thinking it's a little long on history, but I am so impressed by all it presents. Wow! Quite an interesting read. I found the pieces on the Artists particularly interesting.
This is a great piece of work! I love artwork, and did a lot of watercolor work myself and was often fantasizing about comic book penciling myself someday.
If I have one negative thing to say about it…It has to be that I wish I had written it! Congratulations. Dave. This is a real winner.
James D. Tyler
Dear Dave,
Congratulations on a fine book. It is essential reading for people who want to turn their hobby into a money-making venture. I Only wish that I had had this information 40 years ago when I took 6 empty pop(汽水)bottles into the corner store and purchased my first comic book.
I'm amazed at the fact that 40 years ago 10 cents could buy a loaf of bread or the very first issue of The Fantastic Four. Today, 10 cents cannot buy you anything, but a near mint(未损坏的)copy of that comic book could bring you up to$35,000! Thanks for the good read.
