Brotherly Love
Adidas and Puma have been two of the biggest names in sports shoe manufacturing for over half a century.
Since 1928 they have supplied shoes for Olympic athletes,World Cup-winning football heroes,Muhammad Ali,hip hop stars and rock musicians famous all over the world.But the story of these two companies begins in one house in the town of Herzogenaurach,Germany.
Adolph and Rudolph Dassler were the sons of a shoemaker.They loved sport but complained that they could never find comfortable shoes to play in.Rudolph always said.You cannot play sports wearing shoes that you'd walk around town with.So they started making their own.In 1920 Adolph made the first pair of athletic shoes with spikes(釘),produced on the Dasslers'kitchen table.
On 1st July 1924 they formed a shoe company,Dassler Brothers Ltd and they worked together for many years.The company became successful and it provided the shoes for Germany's athletes at the 1928 and 1932 Olympic Games.
But in 1948 the brothers argued.No one knows exactly what happened,but family members have suggested that the argument was about money or women.The result was that Adolph left the company.His nickname was Adi,and using this and the first three letters of the family name,Dassler,he founded Adidas.
Rudolph relocated across the River Aurach and founded his own company too.At first he wanted to call it Ruda,but eventually he called it Puma,after the wild cat.The famous Puma logo of the jumping cat has hardly changed since.
After the big split of 1948 Adolph and Rudolph never spoke to each other again and their companies have now been in competition for over sixty years.Both companies were for many years the market leaders,though Adidas has always been more successful than Puma.A hip hop group,Run DMC,has even written a song called"My Adidas"and in 2005 Adidas bought Reebok,another big sports shoe company.
The terrible family argument should really be forgotten,but ever since it happened,over sixty years ago,the town has been split into two.Even now,some Adidas employees and Puma employees don't talk to each other.
1.Adidas and Puma started to make sports shoes at the end of the 19th century.
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Not mentioned
正確答案:B
答案解析:題干說,阿迪達(dá)斯和彪馬自19世紀(jì)末開始做鞋。文章第二段Since 1928 they have supplied shoes for Olympic athletes,World Cup-winning football heroes表明,從1928年開始兩個公司就開始為奧林匹克運動員提供鞋了,所以本題的說法是錯誤的。故選B。
2.The brothers'father was a ball maker.
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Not mentioned
正確答案:B
答案解析:題干說,這兩兄弟的父親是做球的。文中第三段第一句Adolph and Rudolph Dassler were the sons of a shoemaker說明兩兄弟是一個鞋匠的兒子。所以選B。
3.The brothers first made sports shoes at home.
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Not mentioned
正確答案:A
答案解析:題干說,這兩兄弟在家里做鞋。文中第三段最后一句In 1920 Adolph made the first pair of athletic shoes with spikes,produced on the Dasslers' kitchen table說明他們的第一雙鞋是在家里的餐桌上做出來的。本題的說法是正確的,故選A。
4.The brothers provided sports shoes for the 1924 Olympic Games.
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Not mentioned
正確答案:B
答案解析:題干說,兩兄弟因為鞋爭吵。文中第五段對于爭吵有描寫No one knows exactly what happened,but family members have suggested that the argument was about money or women.雖然沒人知道到底發(fā)生了什么,但是家庭成員覺得兩人是為了金錢和女人起了爭執(zhí)。所以題干說法錯誤,故選B。
5.The brothers decided to start up their separate companies after the argument.
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Not mentioned
正確答案:A
答案解析:題干說,爭吵之后兄弟倆決定建立各自的公司。第五.六兩段分別寫了兩人爭吵之后建立公司的細(xì)節(jié)。所以題干說法是正確的。故選A。
6.Nike sells more shoes than Adidas.
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Not mentioned
正確答案:C
答案解析:題干說,耐克做的鞋比阿迪達(dá)斯多。文章只寫了阿迪達(dá)斯和彪馬兩個公司的事,沒有提及耐克。所以本題選C。
7.People in the town have now forgotten the argument.
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Not mentioned
正確答案:B
答案解析:題干說,鎮(zhèn)子里的人忘記了他們的爭吵。從最后一段可以看出,不但兩兄弟吵架了,兩兄弟各自公司的員工也互不理睬。第一句“The terrible family argument should really be forgotten,……”說明爭吵應(yīng)該被遺忘,但是接著以but來轉(zhuǎn)折,可見題干說法是錯誤的。故選B。
