    The following are the results of the tests done by “Family and Home Magazine” on some Pocket Tape-Recorders on the market now.

    Pearlcorder S702 $64
    This simple model at the bottom of the Olympus range scored the most points for its excellent quality of recording. Background noise hardly affects the sound and recording from a pocket is perfectly possible, but it doesn’t turn off automatically.
    Tape length: 30minutes per side. Weight: 240g.
    Sony M9   $49.95
    Small and very good looking, Sony’s latest offering scored most for its appearance. Sounds clear, but there is slight machine noise. The big control buttons are a great improvement on some of the complicated little controls on other tape-recorders. It doesn’t switch off automatically, but a red light shows if the machine is still running.
    Tape length: 60minutes per side. Weight: 195g.
    Sony M400  $115
    Lots of little control buttons that make a noise are difficult to use. Recording is good but machine noise loses points. Tape counter and automatic switch-off when tape has finished recording or rewinding are useful.
    Tape length: 60 minutes per side. Weight: 230g.
    Imperial OEM MC7 $ 29.95
    Cheap and simple compared with the rest, but recording is good as long as there is no background noise. Use only its own-make of cassette. No light to show it is on; no fast-forward button and the record button makes a loud noise.
    Tape length: 30 minutes per side. Weight: 285g.
    Philips 585 $80
    Handsome and simple to use, but recording is very poor at more than the recommended distance of 5 cm-designed for dictation. No recording light.
    Tape length: 15 minutes per side. Weight: 220g.
    小题1:The machine that produces the best recording with the least unwanted noise is _____.
    A．Pearlcorder S 702B．Sony M9C．Sony M400D．Imperial OEM MC7
    小题2:If you want a machine which turns off automatically and weighs very little you should choose _____.
    A．Pearlcorder S 702B．Sony M9C．Sony M400D．Philips 585
    小题3:Which of the following allows you to record longest but costs you least?
    A．Philips 585B．Imperial OEM MC7C．Sony M400D．Sony M9
    小题4:What disadvantage does only the Imperial OEM MC7 have?

    The Rolls Royce logo consisting of the two Rs clearly stands for Rolls and Royce, the two founders of this car manufacturing company.
    In 1884 Frederick Henry Royce started an electrical and mechanical business. He made his first car, a “Royce”, in his Manchester factory in 1904. He was introduced to Charles Steward Rolls in a Manchester hotel on May 4 that year, and the pair agreed a deal where Royce would manufacture cars, to be sold by Rolls. A clause (条款) was added to the contract, saying the cars would be called “Rolls Royce”.

    The current Toyota logo consists of three ovals: the two perpendicular (成直角的) ovals represent a relationship of trust between the customer and Toyota. These ovals combine to symbolize the letter “T” for Toyota. The space in the background implies a global expansion of Toyota’s technology and unlimited potential for the future.
    The Hyundai Motor Company (HMC) is a South Korean company manufacturing automobiles. Their automobiles are available in many countries around the globe. In 2003 it was South Korea’s largest car maker and the world’s seventh largest car maker. The Hyundai logo appears to be an H (symbolizing Hyundai). The oval shape indicates the company’s global expansion and the “H” is symbolic of two people (specifically the company and customer) shaking hands.
    The Mercedes-Benz logo represents one of the most famous brands in the world. The Benz logo is a three-pointed star that represents its domination of the land, the sea, and the air. The famous three-pointed star was designed by Gottlieb Daimler to show the ability of his motor for land, air and sea usage. It was first seen on a Daimler in 1909 and was combined with the Benz laurel wreath (桂冠) in 1926 to symbolize the union of the two firms. Mercedes-Benz is one of the world’s oldest automobile manufacturers.
    小题1:Which company’s logo is a symbol of two people shaking hands?
