资源简介

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(ABC D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

SO THAT’S WHY WE CALL THAT THAT

In 1997, two smarty-pants, needing a name for their new data-index website, came up with “googol”, which is the number one followed by a hundred zeroes. Perfect! But as they typed Googol into a domain-name search engine, they committed a critical mistake. And the mistake stuck. Don’t believe us? Google it. Meanwhile, here are the stories behind other brand names.

Triscuit    ?    ELECTRICITY BISCUITS   

Triscuit, a snack cracker, is short for “electricity biscuit”, because the first ones were proudly produced with hydro-electric power.

Häagen-Dazs    ?    NOTHING   

Häagen-Dazs is short for... absolutely nothing. Reuben Mattus, who moved to Brooklyn from Poland, created the ice cream company in 1959. He wanted to give his company a Danish-sounding name in honour of Denmark’s reputation during the World War Ⅱ and settled on this nonsense phrase.

Nike    ?    VICTORY   

Nike was named for the Greek goddess of victory  Legend has it that the shoe company’s famous “swoosh” logo represents the fleet-footed goddess’s wings.

Adidas    ?    ADI DASSLER   

Adidas is an abbreviation of “Adi Dassler”, one of two Dassler brothers from Germany who founded competitive shoe empires after the World War Ⅱ (Adi’s brother Rudi founded Puma).

Lego    ?    PLAY WELL   

Lego, a children’s toy that consists of small colored bricks that fit together, is a contraction of the Danish phrase leg godt, meaning “play well”.
