Should teenagers be asked to move out when they start working? In many Western countries, teenagers are allowed to move out at eighteen. Their parents believe that they should be educated to take care of themselves from a young age. This way, when they start working they can manage their own lives. However, in most Asian societies, it is not common for teenagers to move out. Chinese parents believe that it is better for children to live with parents who can take care of them. But the young should then look after their parents as they get older. That is why many Chinese adults continue to live with their parents.

Bookstores are second homes for readers. Although many people can now buy books online, many readers still like the feeling in bookstores. They can touch(觸摸) the books and smell the print.

In China, there are many special bookstores. Sanlian Taofen Bookstore became the first 24-hour bookstore in Beijing at the beginning of April. Popular Holdings in Shanghai is a film-themed bookstore. It has film books and posters. Eslite Bookstore in Taiwan often has activities like talks with famous writers.

At the same time, bookstores outside China can be very colorful, too. Scarthin Books is a small bookstore in the UK. It sells new and second-hand books. There are more than 100,000 books lying on the shelves of the store’s 12 rooms. Bart’s Books in the US is a good place to enjoy the sunshine(陽光) while reading books. It’s an outdoor bookstore. Bookshelves are on the street. When the store is closed, people can still buy books. They just put money into the door’s coin box. Where can you find a café, bar and bookstore in just one place? The answer is probably El Pendulo in Mexico. Books line(排列成行) the walls of the store. On the second floor, visitors can order everyday meals in the café and drinks from the bar.

The right name is important in the business world. All you have to do is think of the names for some of the products you buy every day and you’ll agree that the name and the product are connected in the everyone’s mind.

In many countries, successful trade or brand names are protected by law. This is so that other companies cannot make a product and, in fact, be buying something different. Businesses register a company or a product name with the government. In fact, more than 1,000 product and company names are registered every hour. Many companies spend a lot of money to find the right name for their products. A good example of this is in the car industry. Some successful names for cars have powerful associations （聯(lián)系）.The Ford Mustang and the Jaguar are only two examples of choosing the names of animals that are fast and strong.

When a U. S company decides to sell its product in another country, it has to make sure that the product name translates properly. When Coca-Cola introduced its soft drink to China, it looked for the right name. It wanted a name that would do two things. One was to present its image（形象）in Chinese and the second was to be close to its first brand name—Coke. It took some efforts before finding the right word —which sounds similar and translates as “happiness in the mouth”. Asian company names are not new to the United States. The brand names of Samsung and Sony have been successful. Finding the right brand name is a big business. Asian companies that sell to foreign markets pay to find a name that will connect with its customers. There are even naming companies that specialize in inventing product names. These companies can charge （要價(jià)）up to $100,000 a word for their creations. But it’s worth it. Successful companies know how important the right brand names are for their development.

1. Why are trade names protected by law in many countries?

A. To make companies pay for naming service.

B. To help people choose the best products

C. To present good images of the products.

D. To prevent good images from being copied

2. What can we learn from the passage?

A. Many companies care about the cost of finding the right names

B. Creative trade names can help companies to have a larger sale

C. The government often does business with naming companies

D. It is considered necessary for cars to be names after animals

3. What’s the best title for the passage?

A. The Business of Names

B. The Development of Names

C. The Rules of Naming Business

D. The Methods of Choosing Names

4. Where can you probably read this article?

A. In an economic magazine.

B. In a storybook.

C. In a sports newspaper.

D. In a science book.
