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
第4页 | 共9页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 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

These efforts paid off, and Sparrow soon became one of the most successful fast-food chains in the regions
where it operated.
