“二、阅读理解：阅读下面的短文，根据文章内容从A、B、C三个选项中选出一个最佳选项。
Earle Dickson worked for a company manufacturing gauze and tape called Johnson & Johnson. We will never know the reason, but it is a fact that his wife, Josephine Dickson, always had some minor accidents. During the first week of their marriage, she hurt herself twice with the kitchen knife. After that, it just went from bad to worse. It seemed that Josephine was always cutting herself.
One day Earle Dickson had an idea. He sat down with some tape and gauze and a pair of scissors. Then he cut the tape into strips. In the middle of each strip he stuck a little square of gauze. From then on, whenever Josephine had an accident, ready-made bandages were on hand for her to use quickly and without a lot of fuss.
At Johnson & Johnson, people heard about these new bandages which could be put on in thirty seconds. Soon the company started to try these bandages on the market. Slowly they were accepted by the public. Four years later, in 1924, the company installed machines for mass producing the new product, with the trade name BAND-AID.

“二、阅读理解：阅读下面的短文，根据文章内容进行判断，正确为“T”，错误为“F”。
Brand refers to names, logos and slogans. For example, Nike is known for its slogan “_Just do it_” and swoosh logo. A trademark shows the origin and ownership of a product or service, which is used to protect names, logos, drawings, symbols and other characters related with a business. Coke® and Coca-cola® are registered trademarks of the Coca-Cola Company.
Many companies spend a lot of money and time registering their trademarks.There are at least two good reasons for this. Firstly, if you trademark a brand, you are the only person allowed to use that Brand name, slogan etc.If others want to use that brand, they must ask your permission or pay some money. Secondly, registration also allows the owner to bring legal action against anyone who uses the trademark without authorization.
There are basic trademark symbols, e.g. “TM” for goods and “SM” for service. They tell the public that the product’s name and design are the exclusive property of the company, but a registered trademark ® provides notice that it has indeed been registered.
1. According to the writer, it is not necessary for a company to register a trademark.{T; F}
2. A trademark may be regarded as a protection for a brand name.{T; F}
3. The trademark symbols TM and ® can be exchanged in a brand.{T; F}
4. Legal protection on a brand comes into force only after registration.{T; F}
5. A company can freely use other companies’ brands.{T; F}”
