It was a small coffee shop that roasted its own coffee beans. The coffee shop's business did well, and by 1981 there were three more Starbucks stores in Seattle.来源:zzstep%.c#o*&mThings really began to change for the company in 1981. That year, Howard Schultz met the three men who ran Starbucks. Schultz worked in New York for a company that made kitchen equipment. He noticed that Starbucks ordered a large number of special coffee makers and he was curious about the company. Schultz went to Seattle to see what Starbucks did, and he liked what he saw. He wanted to become part of the company. In 1982, the original Starbucks owners hired Schultz as the company's head of marketing.In 1983, Schultz travelled to Italy. The special atmosphere of the coffee bars there caught his eye. Back in the USA, Schultz created an environment for Starbucks coffee shops, and customers everywhere seemed to like it. Starbucks began opening more stores across the USA. Then the company opened coffee shops in the other countries as well. Today, there are more than 16,000 Starbucks coffee shops all over the world. One thing that helps make Starbucks succeed in cities outside the United States is the way Starbucks works with local stores and restaurants. By working together with a store already in the city, Starbucks gets an understanding of customers in the city. This understanding helps Starbucks open stores in the right locations for their customers.来源:中*国教育出版网&#However, that does not mean Starbucks has not had problems. In fact, many Starbucks stores have closed over the past few years. On one hand, this was because there were too many coffee shops competing for business in one small area. On the other hand, stores in some countries closed because the coffee culture there did not match with the “feel the same everywhere” environment offered by Starbucks.( ) 26.

He never invited us to play in his yard, but he was a very kind person. When Dr. Gibbs wasnt saving lives, he was planting trees. He owned a large field and wanted to make it a forest.The good doctor had some interesting ideas about planting trees. He never watered his new trees. Once I asked why. He said that watering plants spoiled them, and that if you watered them, each baby tree would grow weaker and weaker, so you had to make things difficult for them and pick out the weaker trees early on.He talked about how watering trees made for shallow（浅的）roots, and how trees that werent watered had to grow deep roots in search of water under the earth by themselves. Deep roots were very important. So he never watered his trees. Hed planted an oak and, instead of watering it every morning, hed beat it with a rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the trees attention.Dr. Gibbs died several years after I left home. Every now and then, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I watched him plant about twenty-five years ago. Theyre very big and strong now.ww&w*#.zzsteI planted some trees a few years back and carried water to them for a whole summer. After two years of caring too much, whenever a cold wind blows in, they shake a lot.Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. Mostly I pray that their lives will be easy. But lately Ive been thinking that its time to change my prayer. I know my children are going to face difficulties.

Some plants can eat insects!     Lots of animals try to eat plants. But some plants have their ways of fighting back. For example, thistles(奶蓟草), roses, and many other plants are covered with sharp spines. When a big animal tries to bite them, it hurts!     It can be mighty cold in late wintertoo cold for most flowers to grow. But some plants can make their own heat! Take a skunk cabbage(臭菘) for example. That's the name of a plant that blooms earlier than most other North American flowers. As the flower bud grows, it sometimes makes enough heat to melt its way through snow and even ice! The heat also helps the flower give off a smell like rotten(腐烂的) meat, which attracts many insects that have come out early. The flies go inside the flower for food. Ha-ha, it's a trick! There's no food. But while a fly is in there, it gets covered with pollen(花粉). Then it may spread this pollen to the next skunk cabbage. Fooled you twice, little fly!www.zzstep.co*#m     When an antelope（羚羊）or other large animal eats the leaves of an African acacia(金合欢) tree, the tree may call out a warning. How? It may talk with gas! First the tree pumps some chemicals into its leaves to make them taste bad. But it also may send a special gas out through its leaves. As the gas blows over to other acacia trees, it "tells" those trees, "Look out, hungry animals are coming!" Then the other trees may start pumping the chemicals into their leaves. Soon, the antelope finds the first tree's leaves are too bad to eat. And when it moves to the next tree, and the next, and the next, it finds that their leaves taste terrible. The antelope may have to walk more than 50 yards away to find a tree it can eat!( ) 36. How does a thistle protect itself?A. Its leaves can change color.B. Its leaves are not delicious at all.C. Its sharp spines can hurt big animals.D. It can grow right up through the hard road.( ) 37. Why do skunk cabbages give off a smell like rotten meat?A. To fool the flies twice for fun.B. To melt the snow and even ice.中国%教&育*出版网C. To kill the flies going inside the flower.D. To attract insects to spread pollen from flower to flower.( ) 38.
