Jimmy is an automotive mechanic, but he lost his job a few months ago. He has good heart, but always feared applying
for a new job.
One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10 am and it
was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed ot be interviewed, he saw an elderly man
wildly kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend
him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service.
Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old
man said, “Well, I could take you to the office for your interview. It’s the least I could do. Please. I insist.” Jimmy agreed.
Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applications waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease on him
after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one, the applicants left
the interviewer’s office with disappointed look on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a
第4页 | 共9页large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed?”
Jimmy’s heart sank. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself.
Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy’s surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It
turned out he was the General Manager of the company.
“Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce
before you even stepped into the office. I just know you’d be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations!” Jimmy sat down and
they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.

George Gershwin, born in 1998, was one of America’s greatest composers. He published his first song when the was
eighteen years old. During the next twenty years he wrote more than five hundred songs.
Many of Gershwin’s songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in New York City. These palys
were a popular form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s. Many of his songs have remained popular as ever. Over the
years they have been sung and played in every possible way — from jazz to country.
In the 1920s there was a debate in the United States about jazz music. Could jazz, some people asked, be considered
serious music? In 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show
that jazz was serious music. Gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few
weeks to do it. And in that short time, he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue.

You can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belvacv doesn’t think that
forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That’s why he created
lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella.
The designer says he come up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “once, I was driving on
a central Saint Petersburg street ad saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would
be appropriate to have a canopy(伞蓬)built into a street lamp.” he said.
The lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which
can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors(传感器)then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter
whenever it starts raining.
In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360°motion sensor on the biberglass street lamp which detects whether
anyone’s using the lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.
According to the designer, the lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the
pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lighting strike. Each lampbrella would offer enough
shelter for several people. Being installed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.
While there are no plans to take lampbrella into production, Belyacv says he recently introduced his creation one
Moscow Department, and insists this creation could be installed on my street where a lot of people walk but there are no
canopies to provide shelter.

Sparrow is a fast-food chain with 200 restaurants. Some years ago, the group to which Sparrow belonged was taken
over by another company. Although Sparrow showed no sign of declining, the chain was generally in an unhealthy state.
With more and more fast-food concepts reaching the market, the Sparrow menu had to struggle for attention. And to make
matters worse, its new owner had no plans to give it the funds it required.
Sparrow failed to grow for another two years. Until a new CEO, Carl Pearson, decided to build up its market share. He
did a survey, which showed that consumers who already used Sparrow restaurants were extremely positive about the chain,
while customers of other fast-food chains were unwilling to turn away from them. Sparrow had to develop a new
promotional campaign.
Pearson faced a battle over the future of the Sparrow brand. The chain’s owner now favored rebranding Sparrow as
Marcy’s restaurants. Pearson resisted, arguing for an advertising campaign designed to convince customers that visits to
Sparrow restaurants were fun. Such an attempt to establish a positive relationship between a company and the general
public was unusual for that time. Pearson strongly believed that numbers were the key to success, rather than customers’
speeding power. Finally, the owner accepted his idea.
The campaign itself changed the traditional advertising style of the fast-food industry. The TV ads of Sparrow focused
on entertainment and featured original sons performed by a variety of stars. Instead of showing the superiority of a specific
product, the intension was to put Sparrow in the hearts of potential customers.
Pearson also made other decisions which he believed would contribute to the new Sparrow image. For example, he
offered to lower the rent of any restaurants which achieved a certain increase in their turnover. (营业额)
These efforts paid off, and Sparrow soon became one of the most successful fast-food chains in the regions where it
operated.
