Users can write about themselves or their companies and
include pictures and videos. They can also permit everyone, or
only a few people, to see their Facebook pages.
In the summer of 2010, Facebook announced that it has over 500 million active users around the world.About half of them use the site every day. About 70 percent of all Facebook users are in countries outside the United States.
Mark Zuckerberg and his friends started Facebook in 2004 when he was a second year student at Harvard University in Massachusetts. He began the project by illegally using the university's computer system. Harvard University charged him with breaking several laws. Mark Zuckerberg was almost forced to leave school. But the university withdrew the charges. Mark Zuckerberg was also accused of stealing other people's ideas and using them in Facebook. He has denied (否认) the charges.Several people have taken legal action against him.
At first, only Harvard students could use Facebook. But it quickly expanded to other universities. The website was also opened to high school students. Now, anyone at least 13 years old with an e­mail address can join.
In the early days, only a small group of people managed Facebook. Now it has over 1,700 workers in 12 countries.
Facebook makes money by selling advertising. It has been extremely successful. The financial company SecondMarket, says Facebook is worth 41 billion dollars.
A movie about the creation of Facebook, called “The Social Network”， was released in October 2010.

(2012·皖南八校第三次联考)If a business wants to sell its products internationally, it had better do some market research first. This is a lesson that
some large American corporations have learned the hard way.
What's in the name?
Sometimes the problem is the name. When General Motors
introduced its Chevy Nova to Latin America, it overlooked the
fact that Nova in Spanish means “It doesn't go”．Sure enough,
the Chevy Nova never went anywhere in Latin America.
Translation problems
Sometimes it is the slogan that doesn't work. No company knows this better than Pepsi Cola with its “Come alive with Pepsi！” campaign. The campaign was so successful in the United States that Pepsi translated its slogan literally for its international campaign. As it turned out, the translations weren't quite right. Pepsi was begging Germans to “Come out of the grave” and telling the Chinese that “Pepsi brings your ancestors back from the grave”．
A picture's worth a thousand words
Other times, the problem involves packaging. A picture of a smiling baby has helped sell countless jars of Gerber baby food. When Gerber started selling baby food in Africa, they used the same packaging as in the US, with the smiling baby on the label. Later they learned that in African countries, the picture on the jar shows what the jar has in it, for many people there can't read.
Twist of fate
Even culture, religious factors and pure coincidence can be involved. Thom McAn shoes have a Thom McAn signature inside.To people in Bangladesh, which is a Muslim country, this signature looked like Arabic script for the word Allah. In that country，feet are considered unclean, and Muslims felt the company was offending God's name by having people walk on it.
语篇解读：如何在激烈的商战中立足？如何才能拓展国际市场？文章告诉我们首先一定要做一些市场调查。

5．From the text we learn that ________.
A．Chevy Nova was brought to Latin America

答案：D
7．For what reason were Thom McAn shoes turned down in Bangladesh?
A．They are not designed attractively.
B．Their advertisements are not persuasive.
C．A signature looking like the word Allah was in the shoes.
D．Problem For Thom McAn was the company's name.
解析：推理判断题。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
(2012·福州质量检测)A pioneering headteacher is calling for all high schools to follow his lead and start classes at 11 am, allowing teenagers two hours extra in bed.
Dr. Paul Kelley, head of Monkseaton Community High School in North Tyneside, said it would mean the end of sleeping in lessons before lunch, after experiments showed teenagers could have different body clocks from adults and younger children.
Russell Foster，an Oxford professor of neuroscience (神经系统科学)，tested the memory of 200 Monkseaton pupils at 9 am and 2 pm using pairs of words, and discovered a 9% improvement in the afternoon. Students correctly identified 51% of word pairs in the later session, compared with 42% in the morning. Tayler McCullough,15, one of the test subjects, said the majority of students would welcome the extra hours in bed. “I'm extremely hard to get up in the morning.One or two people like to get to school early, but most of us would be up for going in later，I'm sure it would make a big difference to our learning ability.”
Kelley is adamant that a change of school timetable will have a meaningful effect on exam performance. He wants his school's governors to approve his plan and put the new timetable in place before the opening of Monkseaton's new school building, the most technologically advanced in the country, in September.
Kelley hopes his latest idea will be just as successful.“We have to be practical. But this proves that, by starting later, children's learning improves, as does their health.”
Foster said，“This is preliminary (初步的) data, but what's exciting is that it matches more detailed studies carried out in Canada and the US.Teenagers get up late not because they are lazy but because they are biologically programmed to do so.”
