Dr Pemberton was not a real doctor but he sold syrups（糖浆）to people who were ill. He made his first Coca-Cola drink with syrup and soda water. He gave it to his friends to try. They liked it but asked him to make it even better.Although Dr Pemberton’s drink was ninety-nine percent sugar and soda water, one percent of it was coca leaves and cola nuts ( that is why he called the drink ‘Coca-Cola’) and some other things. Dr Pemberton would not tell anyone what these other things were. He kept them a secret. The drink did not sell well at first, so he sold the secret. Two years later he died.In 1892 Asa Candler bought the secret and started The Coca-Cola Company. Until 1899 people could not take the soft drink away from shops to drink at home. They had to drinkthem in the shops. However, when the Coca-Cola drink became very popular, people wanted to take home bottles of it, so Mr Candler agreed to sell it in bottles. In 1919, Mr Candler sold his part of company for twenty-five million dollars!Today, The Coca-Cola Company is one of the largest companies in America. In 1992 it sold 506 million bottles of Coca-Cola each day. People can buy it in 195 countries. It is still the same drink that Dr Pemberton made in 1886.1.

There can be many reasons. Hanna changed her name to Anne because she thought it would be easier for people to remember. On the other hand, Joseph is thinking about changing his name to an unusual name because he wants to be different.People have a lot of reasons for changing their names. Film stars, singers, sportsmen and some other famous people often change their names because they want names that are not ordinary, or that have special sound. They chose th e “new name” for themselves instead of the name their parents gave them when they were born.Some people have another reason for changing their names. They have moved to a newcountry and want to use a name that is usual there. For example, Li Kaiming changed his name to Ken Lee when he moved to the United States. He uses the name Ken at his job and at school. But with his family and Chinese friends, he uses Li Kaiming. For some people, using different names makes life easier in their new country.In m any countries, a woman changes her family name to her husband’s after she gets married. But today, many women are keeping their own family name and not using their husband’s. Sometimes, women use their own name in some situations and their husband’s in oth er situations.
