A
If a business wants t sell its prducts internatinally, it had better d sme market research first. This is a lessn that sme large American crpratins have learned in the hard way.
What's in the name?
Smetimes the prblem is the name. When General Mtrs intrduced its Chevy Nva int Latin America, it verlked the fact that Nva in Spanish means“ It desn't g” Sure enugh, the Chevy Nva never went anywhere in Latin America.
Translatin prblems
Smetimes it is the slgan that desn't wrk. N cmpany knws this better than Pepsi- Cla, with its“ Cme alive with Pepsi!” campaign. The campaign was s successful in the United States that Pepsi translated its slgan literally (按字面意思的) fr its internatinal campaign. As it turned ut, the translatins were nt quite right. Pepsi was begging Germans t“ Cme ut f the grave” and telling the Chinese that“ Pepsi brings yur ancestrs back frm the grave.”
A picture is wrth a thusand wrds
Other times, the prblem invlves packaging. A picture f a smiling baby has helped sell cuntless jars f Gerber baby fd. When Gerber started selling baby fd in Africa, they used the same packaging as in the US, with the smiling baby n the label. Later they learned that in African cuntries, the picture n the jar shws what the jar has in it, fr many peple there can't read.
Twist f fate

When I graduated frm high schl, I wanted t majr in cmparative literature. But, nce I fund ut my friends were ging int“ real” majrs, like marketing, nursing, and engineering, I figured I needed t d the same t ensure a gd career. S I changed my mind and chse Business Management as my majr. I frced myself t believe that I wuld enjy it and succeed in the future, but eventually I exhausted myself understanding the ecnmy and trying new marketing techniques. Cming ut f this experience, I realize it is OK t be different frm thers and t study things like classic art histry and . ther majrs ffered in the Cllege f Humanities(人文学科).
The wrries mst peple have abut a Humanities degree and finding a career afterwards are that the majrs are t abstract, and ne will nt btain any applicable skills. Actually ideas discussed in Humanities classes which are ccasinally different frm what peple cmmnly believe, ffer a brad perspective(视角). Hw culd ne effectively be an unbiased (无偏见的) writer with nly a knwledge f the ppular pinin f sciety? Hw culd ne speak persuasively with clsed minds? Only seeing the wrld thrugh a single perspective leads t missed learning, missed friendships, and missed grwth! With a brader perspective, we will be mre free, mre pen- minded, and less limited in what we can becme.
STEM ( science, technlgy, engineering and mathematics) graduates learn actual skills in their studies while humanities majrs learn“ sft skills” like cmmunicating effectively thrugh writing critically and speaking persuasively, synthesizing (综合) ideas thrugh gathering and interpreting infrmatin, and develping cultural awareness. D thse sft skills sund useless and inapplicable t yu? Think f it. Hw ften d yu cmmunicate with thers? Prduce ideas? Encunter peple frm ther cultures? Every day. Every SECOND f every day. S why nt master these skills?
If yu chse a majr in the Cllege f Humanities, yu will be needed. The jb market is quietly creating thusands f penings a week fr peple wh can bring a humanist's grace t ur rapidly evlving high- tech future. Yur skills will be valuable t any wrkplace yu hpe t be in. Chase after yur dream majr with all yur energy, n matter what ther peple think.
51. Why did the authr chse Business Management as his majr at first?
A. He was tired f learning cmparative literature.
B. He came t enjy learning marketing techniques.
C. He wanted t g t the same university as his friends.
D. He believed Business Management was mre practical.
52. Accrding t the authr, what is a pssible way t gain a brad perspective?
A. Making mre friends and learning frm them.
B. Exchanging ideas in a philsphy seminar.
C. Opening yur mind t future pssibilities.
D. Getting t knw the ppular pinin f sciety.
53. In which f the fllwing situatins d sft skills play the mst imprtant rle?
A、Writing a sftware prgram. B. Perfrming a heart peratin.

The predatr fllws the " hurt" adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.
Anther kind f bird, the scrub jay, buries its fd s it always has smething t eat. Scrub jays are als thieves. They watch where thers bury their fd and steal it.
