These studies had shown the general response to the new product was good. However, the change of the traditional Coca-cola by New Coke was rejected by the majority of drinkers. In fact, the company had to step back and restart production of the old formula of Coca-cola.
The most important reason why New York was rejected was the emotional relationship that existed between drinkers and the soft drink formula. Drinking Coca-cola had become a tradition for many people over its 99years of existence. The change made by the company was not only in Coke’s formula bust also in the traditional values and memories that it represented to the drinkers. “We had taken away more than the product Coca-cola. We had taken away a little part of them and their past.” The drinkers rejected this “improvement”, because “they believed that Coke stood for traditional value … so they felt betrayed when the product changed completely overnight”.
Although a lot of research was done by Coca-cola Company, it didn’t show the depth of drinkers’ emotion for the product. The studies took many forms, but none of the tests was able to measure the degree of personal and emotional reactions caused by the disappearance of the old, traditional Coca-cola. The weakness of the research was that it was mainly quantitative in form.
The result was only members that could not show the deep meaning the product had for many people. A more extensive study focusing on the qualitative aspects of the change would perhaps have been able to demonstrate the close relationship existing between drinkers and product.

（2）Passage 2
There’s a great story about an old Finnish woman who, without quite realizing it, was using her cell-phone to access the Internet and track her city’s public transit system. When asked why she used the wireless Internet so frequently, she replied, “What are you talking about? I don’t know anything about this wireless Internet stuff. I just know the bus is here.”
Regardless of whether you want to admit it, a lot of us are like that old Finnish woman. When it comes to new mobile applications, many of us do not realize the capability and power that we hold, literally, in hour hands.
What we are looking at today is the mobile Internet in its infancy. Now that using the Internet from home or work has saturated much of society, the next logical step is to be able to use the Net when you are far away from your desktop or laptop. Speech recognition is one way to do this, and there are a number of services, collectively called the “voice web”, that will make this possible. All you do is use a phone or wireless device to call a phone number, and speak commands to an intuitive system. It will then give you the information you’re seeking, using either a synthesized voice or an audio file.
In the United States and Europe, the hot technology for wireless devices is called WAP (Wireless Application Protocol), which is being considered as the world standard. WAP is supported by major phone companies including Nokia, Motorola and Ericsson, and is simply a means of transmitting information, much like HTML, which is a means of communicating on the Internet.
Currently, wireless Internet connections may give you news, sports scores, stock quotes, and the weather if you’re lucky. But if you’ve ever used the technology, you know it’s slow, costly and doesn’t seem worth the time and effort, if it works at all. All of this technology points to easier living. Perhaps you’ll need to find a restaurant for an occasional business meeting. You’ll press a button on your mobile phone, and access the internet to pull up a list of great restaurants in your immediate area. You’ll hit another button, say a few words into the handset and you’ve got a reservation for four.

（3）Passage 3
You don’t even need to look back twenty years to appreciate the tremendous advances that have been made in science and technology, and how these developments are transforming the lives of millions of people all over the world. Who, for example, twenty years ago would have imagined that the development of microchip technology could have had such a deep effect on the way we live each day? Yes, television and radio, cassettes and video, were around in those days, but no one had heard of these wonderful remote-control units that turn equipment on and off when we want, helping us to select our entertainment with a minimum of physical effort. Yes, in the last twenty years, the changes to civilization, as we know it, have been both abundant and significant.
Just think of some of the other remarkable ways in which our daily life has been transformed by this technological revolution! If you feel like a hot meal, just get your favorite prepared food and pop it quickly into the microwave oven. Set the timing dial and it’s ready in minutes! If you need to send someone an urgent message, just write it down and send it through your fax machine. It arrives safely on the other side of the world in seconds. Passenger planes fly directly from England to Australia, and their pilots can even find time to relax as the computers on the aircraft do most of the hard work for them. I can write this news report on my personal computer and correct my work with only a shift of the cursor as I go along. I can store it and send my boss the reports direct from my own home. This all leaves me more time to enjoy myself, as my work and free time seem to blend together. This also explains the remarkable growth that the leisure industry is currently experiencing.
Leisure today is big business, and the choices available to us are almost infinite. Just pop into your nearest travel agent for some brochures, or read the advertisements in your newspaper. How you spend your free time can be easily planned from a comfortable chair in your living room! Look at all the holiday possibilities available—there’s bound to be something for everyone! You’ll find holidays to suit all pockets and tastes, whether you’re thinking of that trip of a lifetime to some distant continent, a two-week walking tour, or an adventure holiday shooting rapids; whether you fancy drinking coffee in a European caf, or living on a beautiful tropical island.
As robots take over the work of people in industry, as communications across the globe become faster and more sophisticated, and while technology continues to create ways of persuading us to work less and enjoy ourselves more, so will leisure and the leisure industry play a far more central role in the life of us all.

（4）Passage 1
Miss Wang of Thailand went to Hong Kong for a holiday. Soon after she got to Hong Kong, she went shopping along Nathan Road. Suddenly a man came up to her and said, “Hello, there, I haven’t seen you for a long time.” The stranger continued talking to her for a while and then took out a small box from his pocket. “Would you like to buy some diamonds?” he asked, opening the box to show some stones. “I’m willing to sell them to you cheap — only ＄400 for this diamond. How about it?” Miss Wang didn’t want to buy the diamond because she had heard many stories of people being tricked. Also, at that moment a woman stopped and warned her, “Don’t buy from him. He’s not an honest man. He’s trying to trick you!” The man raised his voice at once, “I’m honest. These diamonds are real.” In the end they took one of the diamonds to a jeweler — one who sells diamonds and the like. The jeweler examined the stone and told Miss Wang that it was real. He said it cost around ＄900. Satisfied that the diamonds were real, Miss Wang decided to buy them from the man. She chose two of the largest stones from his box and paid him ＄400. Then she went back to the jeweler and asked, “How much will it cost to fix these on a ring?” The jeweler examined the stones and said, “Why do you want to do that? These are just glass.” “But you told me just now they were diamonds.” “The first stone was a diamond; these are not.” Miss Wang ran out of the shop hoping to catch the stranger and get her money back. However, the man was nowhere to be found.

（5）Passage 2
Anne Whitney, a sophomore at Colorado University, first had a problem taking test when she began college. “I was always well prepared for my tests. Sometimes I studied for weeks before a test. Yet I would go in to take the test, only to find I could not answer the questions correctly. I would blank out because of nervousness and fear. I couldn’t think of the answer. My low grades on the tests did not show what I knew to the teacher.” Another student in microbiology had similar experiences. He said, “My first chemistry test was very difficult. Then, on the second test, I sat down to take it, and I was so nervous that I was shaking. My hands were moving up and down so quickly that it was hard to hold my pencil. I knew the material and I knew the answers. Yet I couldn’t even write them down.”
These two young students were experiencing something called test anxiety. Because a student worries and is uneasy about a test, his or her mind does not work as well as it usually does. The student cannot write or think clearly because of the extreme tension and nervousness. Although poor grades are often a result of poor habits, sometimes test anxiety causes the low grades. Recently, test anxiety has been recognized as a real problem, not just an excuse or a false explanation of lazy students.
Special universities counseling courses try to help students. In these countries, counselors try to help students by teaching them how to manage test anxiety. At some universities, students take tests to measure their anxiety. If the tests show their anxiety is high, the students can take short courses to help them deal with their tension. These courses teach students how to relax their bodies. By controlling their nervousness, they can let their minds work easy. Learned information then comes out without difficulty on a test.
An expert at the University of California explains, “With almost all students, relaxation and less stress are felt after taking our program. Most of them experience better control during their tests. Almost all have some improvement. With some, the improvement is very great.”

（6）Passage 3
John Preston lives in a flat in north London. He moved there after his wife died four years ago to be closer to his daughter's family, and because his big detached house and garden were too much work for him as he got older. It's easier in the flat because the letting agent does everything that needs doing.
The agent has had the roof repaired and got the gutter replaced, but at the moment John is not satisfied because the window frames need painting and the garden looks neglected. The agent had the windows painted two years ago, but the painters didn't do it very well, so they need doing again. John pays over ￡1,500 a year for service and maintenance, and he thinks that it's not good enough because the flats look shabby and a lot of things need repairing.
His daughter, June, and her husband, Pete, on the other hand, have to do everything themselves or find builders to do it. They live in a large semi-detached house further out from the Centre of London than John, but they are still near enough to see him often. They live in the suburbs with a nice garden where their children play. They moved there four years ago to have more space. The only drawback is that June's husband has to commute into the Centre of London every day, but, overall, they are happy with their decision. When they bought the house, a lot needed doing to it and it still does. June says, "We have a list of things to do as long as your arm – the roof needs repairing and the chimney needs mending. The bedrooms need decorating and we haven't had the broken windowpanes replaced yet in the conservatory. We need to fix the gate and repair the path – it looks dreadful when you arrive."
