22、Websites
ESPN Sports Programming
ESPN takes its sports content and programming to the next level with its dynamic and eye-catching site filled with large, high-quality pictures and videos. The "featured sports" slider is thoroughly entrancing and does an excellent job of showcasing each of the sports alongside interesting statistics and informative details about available programs.
Revols
Revols takes a bold （突出的）approach on its website by enlarging its small, advanced headphones in photographs and videos. The photography and video make the site amazingly product-focused, so its users slowly become more and more absorbed in the experience these headphones can give you. The large font （字型）treatment on this site is also a nice touch and adds to the larger-than-life earbud photography.

Zillow hits the nail on the head for all three of these points. The search area within the hero area makes it easy for new users to quickly select and search listings without having to look for some hidden search page.

23、MCDONALD’S drew ridicule in China when it changed its registered name there to Jingongmen, or ‘Golden Arches’, in October, after it was sold to a Chinese corporate. Some on Weibo thought it sounded old-fashioned and awkward, others thinking that it had connotations（隐含意义） of furniture. The fast-food chain was quick to reassure customers that its restaurants would continue to go by Maidanglao, a rough transliteration（音译） that has, over the years, become a recognizable brand name. But for most companies now entering Chinese markets, transliterations are a thing of the past, says Amanda Liu, vice-president of Labbrand (朗标公司), a consultancy based in Shanghai that advises firms on brand names.
Companies are instead choosing Chinese names with meanings that capture people’s imagination. That often involves going beyond a direct translation. New entrants are taking inspiration from BMW, which is the evocative Baoma, or ‘treasure horse’, in China, and from Coca-Cola, which is Kekoukele, or ‘delicious happiness’.
The naming process is forcing companies to think harder about the image they want to project in China, says Ms Liu. LinkedIn, a professional-networking site owned by Microsoft, chose the name Lingyin, or ‘leading elite’, in 2014, signifying more exclusivity than its Western name. Her other corporate customers have included Airbnb, Marvel Comics and Haribo. Labbrand tests proposals with focus groups, ensuring that the name has no negative associations in any of the major Chinese dialects.
A vital part of the process is checking that candidate names have not already been snapped up. The Chinese are energetic trademarkers: in 2015 there were 2.8m trademark applications in China, more than treble those in America and the EU combined. Companies considering entering the Chinese market might often find that their products have already been given local names, thanks, for example, to coverage in the press.
Some even find that their Chinese name has already been trademarked, says Matthew Dresden of Harris Bricken, a law firm, either by their own distributors, competitors seeking to block its entry, counterfeiters（伪造者） hoping to pass as the company, or squatters（擅自占用房屋或土地的人）intending to sell the trademark to the highest bidder. Counterfeiters might also take advantage of soundalikes, says Mr. Dresden, who advises clients to trademark those, too.
Perhaps thanks to these mishaps (小事故), foreign firms are getting wiser to the importance of naming in China. More Chinese firms are also seeking advice on foreign names, says Ms. Liu, as they seek to conquer Western markets. Both know that if they blunder, the social-media critics will be waiting.
【1】The example of McDonald in paragraph 1 indicates that _____.
A. it’s not a wise move for McDonald to change its name
B. transliteration becomes less popular for many companies
C. Chinese customers don’t like the new name
D. having a good name is important for companies
【2】According to the passage, with a proper Chinese name, companies entering the Chinese market are trying to_____.
A. show a good and impressing image B. project their ads more widely
C. give inspirations to other companies D. ensure that customers are attracted
【3】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. BMW and Coca-Cola’s Chinese names are good examples for other companies.
B. With the Chinese name Lingyin, Linkedin has more elite members than before.
C. Chinese firms also emphasize their foreign names.
D. Chinese trademark applications are much more than those of America.
24、 That morning, I dropped our eldest at kindergarten and returned home to let our two younger children play while I worked on my medical report. It was wonderful, but it hit me that my career in hospital wasn't making a difference in anyone's life. I needed something that would stretch my limits and push me to grow. My career enabled me to work from home. I could work from home, and become a foster (领养) mother, providing safety for a child who needed it desperately.
On Monday morning, I picked up the phone and dialed the number I had googled for the nearest Department of Children's Services. The man on the other end was receptive to my questions and explained the next step of training, involving eight weeks of classes designed to prepare and educate foster parents. We continued through all the classes, the home visits, background checks, and seemingly endless steps.
Five long months after we were approved, the phone rang. In the middle of the night, I woke my husband and rushed to East Tennessee Children's' Hospital. Our placement was waiting for us in the emergency room, sick and lack of nutrition. It didn't take long for us to realize the full depth of her suffering. Six months later, her half-brother came to us by our request. We now had five children under our care.
On August 12, 2016, our family of seven walked into a small courtroom. The children's lawyer and social worker were there. With just a few words, our adoption was finalized. These two amazing children weren't going home, because they were already home. We are their forever family, and they are our forever children. We may not be able to change the entire world, but we have changed the world entirely for our new children.
