TEXT B
Every business needs two things, says Skullcandy CEO Rick Alden:
inspiration and desperation. In 20xx, Alden had both. He'd sold two
snowboarding businesses, and he was desperately bored. But he had an
idea: He wanted to make a new kind of headphone。
“I kept seeing people missing their cell phone calls because they
were listening to music,” he explains. Then I'm in a chairlift(索道),
I've got my headphones on, and I realize my phone is ringing. As 1 take
my gloves off and reach for my phone, I think, “It can't be that tough
to make headphones with two plugs, one for music and one for your cell
phone.” Alden described what he wanted to a designer, perfected a
prototype, and outsourced(外包)manufacturing overseas。
Alden then started designing headphones into helmets, backpacks -
anywhere that would make it easy to listen to music while snowboarding.
“Selling into board and skate shops wasn't a big research effort,” he
explains. “Those were the only guys I knew!”
Alden didn’t want to be a manufacturer. And by outsourcing, he'd
hoped he could get the business off the ground without debt. But he was
wrong. So he asked his wife, “Can I put a mortgage(抵押贷款) on the
house? She said, ‘What is the worst thing that can happen? We lose the
house, we sell our cars, and we start all over again.’ I definitely
married the right woman!”
For the next two years, Alden juggled mortgage payments and payments
to his manufacturers. “Factories won't ship your product till they get
paid,” he says. “But it takes four or five months to get a mortgage
company so upset that they knock on your door. So we paid the factory
first.”
Gradually, non-snowboarders began to notice the colorful headphones.
In 20xx, the company started selling them in 1,400 FYE (For Your
Entertainment) stores. “We knew that nine out often people walking into
that store would be learning about Skullcandy for the first time. Why
would they look at brands they knew and take home a new brand instead?
We had agreed to buy back anything we didn’t sell, but we were dealing
with huge numbers. It’d kill us to take back all the products.”
Alden’s fears faded as Skullcandy became the No. 1 headphone seller
in those stores and tripled its revenue to $120 million in one year. His
key insight was that headphones weren’t gadgets; they were a fashion
accessory. “In the beginning,” he says, “that little white wire that
said you had an iPod—that was cool. But now wearing the white bud means
you’re just like everyone else. Headphones occupy this critical piece
of cranial real estate and are highly visible.”
Today, Skullcandy is America's second-largest headphone supplier,
after Sony. With 79 employees, the company is bigger than Alden ever
imagined.

In this section there are four passages followed by questions or
unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C
and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer。
Mark your answers on Answer Sheet Two。
TEXT A
The art of public speaking began in ancient Greece over 2,000 years
ago. Now, twitter, instant messaging, e-mail, blogs and chat forums
offer rival approaches to communication—but none can replace the role
of a great speech。
The spoken word can handle various vital functions: persuading or
inspiring, informing, paying tribute, entertaining, or simply
introducing someone or something or accepting something。
Over the past year, the human voice has helped guide us over the ups
and downs of what was certainly a stormy time。
Persuasion is used in dealing with or reconciling different points
of view. When the leaders met in Copenhagen in December 20xx, persuasive
words from activists encouraged them to commit themselves to firmer
action。
Inspirational speeches confront the emotions. They focus on topics
and matters that are close to people's hearts. During wars, generals
used inspiring speeches to prepare the troops for battle。
A speech that conveys knowledge and enhances understanding can
inform us. The information must be clear, accurate, and expressed in a
meaningful and interesting way. When the H1N1 pandemic(流行病)was
announced, the idea of “swine flu”(猪流感)scared many people.
Informative speeches from World Health Organization officials helped
people to keep their panic under control so they could take sensible
precautions。
Sad events are never easy to deal with but a speech that pays
tribute to the loss of a loved one and gives praise for their
contribution can be comforting. Madonna's speech about Michael Jackson,
after his death, highlighted the fact that he will continue to live on
through his music。
It's not only in world forums where public speaking plays an
important role. It can also be surprisingly helpful in the course of our
own lives。
If you’re taking part in a debate you need to persuade the
listeners of the soundness of your argument. In sports, athletes know
the importance of a pep talk(鼓舞士气的讲话)before a match to inspire
teammates. You yourself may be asked to do a presentation at college or
work to inform the others about an area of vital importance。
On a more personal level, a friend may be upset and need comforting.
Or you might be asked to introduce a speaker at a family event or to
speak at a wedding, where your language will be needed to move people or
make them laugh.

TEXT A
The art of public speaking began in ancient Greece over 2,000 years
ago. Now, twitter, instant messaging, e-mail, blogs and chat forums
offer rival approaches to communication—but none can replace the role
of a great speech。
The spoken word can handle various vital functions: persuading or
inspiring, informing, paying tribute, entertaining, or simply
introducing someone or something or accepting something。
Over the past year, the human voice has helped guide us over the ups
and downs of what was certainly a stormy time。
Persuasion is used in dealing with or reconciling different points
of view. When the leaders met in Copenhagen in December 20xx, persuasive
words from activists encouraged them to commit themselves to firmer
action。
Inspirational speeches confront the emotions. They focus on topics
and matters that are close to people's hearts. During wars, generals
used inspiring speeches to prepare the troops for battle。
A speech that conveys knowledge and enhances understanding can
inform us. The information must be clear, accurate, and expressed in a
meaningful and interesting way. When the H1N1 pandemic(流行病)was
announced, the idea of “swine flu”(猪流感)scared many people.
Informative speeches from World Health Organization officials helped
people to keep their panic under control so they could take sensible
precautions。
Sad events are never easy to deal with but a speech that pays
tribute to the loss of a loved one and gives praise for their
contribution can be comforting. Madonna's speech about Michael Jackson,
after his death, highlighted the fact that he will continue to live on
through his music。
It's not only in world forums where public speaking plays an
important role. It can also be surprisingly helpful in the course of our
own lives。
If you’re taking part in a debate you need to persuade the
listeners of the soundness of your argument. In sports, athletes know
the importance of a pep talk(鼓舞士气的讲话)before a match to inspire
teammates. You yourself may be asked to do a presentation at college or
work to inform the others about an area of vital importance。
On a more personal level, a friend may be upset and need comforting.
Or you might be asked to introduce a speaker at a family event or to
speak at a wedding, where your language will be needed to move people or
make them laugh.
