20、t research first. This is a lesson that some large American corporations have learned in the hard way.Whats in the name? Sometimes the problem is the name. When General Motors introduced its Chevy Nova into Latin America, it overlooked the fact that Nova in Spanish means “It doesnt go”. Sure enough,
21、 the Chevy Nova never went anywhere in Latin America.Translation problemsSometimes it is the slogan that doesnt 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 literal
22、ly for its international campaign. As it turned out, the translations were not quite right.

23、ging. A picture of a smiling baby has helped sell countless jars of Gerber baby food.

24、r has in it, for many people there cant read. Twist of fate Even culture and religious factors and pure coincidence can be involved. Thorn McAn shoes have a Thorn McAn “signature” inside.

29、 crime has been given a lesson in honesty.His victim,who picked up the ticket and then claimed the $25,000 prize,managed to trace him,and handed over the cash.The robbery happened when maths professor Vinicio Sabbatucci,58,was changing a tire on an Italian motorway.Another motorist,who stopped “to h
30、elp”,stole a suitcase from his car and drove off.The professor found the dropped ticket and put it in his pocket before driving home to Ascoli in eastern Italy.Next day,he saw the lottery results on TV and,taking out the ticket,realized it was a winner.He claimed the 60 million lire(里拉) prize.Then h
31、e began a battle with his conscience.Finally,he decided he could not keep the money despite having been robbed.He advertised in newspapers and on the radio,saying,“Im trying to find the man who robbed me.I have 60 million lire for hima lottery win.Please meet me.Anonymity(匿名) guaranteed.”Professor S
32、abbatucci received hundreds of calls from people hoping to trick him into handing them the cash.But there was one voice he recognized and he arranged to meet the man in a park.The robber,a 35-year-old unemployed father of two,gave back the suitcase and burst into tears.He could not believe what was
33、happening.“Why didnt you keep the money?”he asked.The professor replied,“I couldnt because its not mine.”Then he walked off,spurning the thiefs offer of a reward.56.The sentence “Then he began a battle with his conscience.”in Paragraph 2 implies all of the following EXCEPT that .A.he knew what he sh

37、l when it chokes photogenic sea creatures.Scientists estimate that perhaps 8m tonnes of plastic waste enters the ocean each year，discharged by rivers or shed from ships.Plenty stays close to shore.Some，though，is carried by currents to mid-ocean gyres.The biggest of these is located halfway between C
38、alifornia and Hawaiiand so littered with flotsam that it has been nicknamed the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.A study published last March in Scientific Reports by Laurent LeBreton of the Ocean Cleanup，a Dutch charity，and colleagues，found that it contains between 45,000 and 129,000 tonnes of plastic d
39、ebris spread over an area roughly the size of Alaska.The idea of sweeping it all up might sound fanciful.To Boyan Slat it seemed merely ambitious.What if，he wondered in 2012 (then aged 18)，you could build a massive bow-shaped floating barrier，anchor it to the seabed and let currents shuffle the litt
40、er into the scoop?Despite his youthful age and madcap scheme，Mr Slat set up the Ocean Cleanup to put it into practice.Six years,20m euros ($23m) and several prototypes later，the device set sail from San Francisco on September 8th，escorted by a Coast Guard vessel，a shipload of camera crews and a flot
41、illa of curious boaters.System 001，as the contraption has been christened，is a hollow cylinder 600 meters long and 1.2 meters in diameter，itself made of plastic (polyethylene).It was moulded together into a seamless whole from 12-metre segments at a shipyard across the San Francisco Bay in Oakland.A
42、 three-meter deep skirt (made of sturdy polyester) dangles beneath the boom to prevent litter from escaping under it；buoyant plastic tends to float within a meter of the waters surface.The device is even simpler than Mr Slats original idea，having dispensed with the anchor.Instead，it relies on the ob
43、servation that the boom，which is driven by the current as well as by waves and wind，always moves faster relative to the plastic，which is propelled by the current alone.It therefore scoops the litter up as it drifts.A straight boom will first be towed 250 nautical miles off the coast of California fo
44、r a fortnight of tests，before embarking on a three-week voyage to its final destination.There it will be turned into a U-shape，with its ends fastened in place using metal lines，and set adrift.Satellite tracking and other electronics will allow its progress to be monitored remotely.Light beacons will
45、 alert the two dozen ships which cross the gyre each week to its presence.Some time next year another vessel will be dispatched to fish out the collected rubbish，which the charity hopes to sell to recyclers.If System 001 succeeds，Mr Slat wants to deploy another 60 booms，measuring 1km or more.Corpora
46、te sponsors would foot the bill of 5m euros a piece for construction and three years operation，Mr Slat hopes.He already enjoys the backing of deep-pocketed endowments and of tycoons like Marc Benioff，founder of Salesforce，and Peter Thiel，a noted investor.The system can do little about plastic that h
47、as fragmented into microscopic particles，but these make up just 8% of plastic in the gyre.Mr LeBreton reckons that a fleet of booms could，by 2040，sweep up virtually all the non-tiny detritus，but only if plastic leakage into the sea is stanched.If it continues unabated，the incoming debris would outweigh the fleets capacity to skim it within a few years.Th
